WASHINGTON, Sept. 10, ls45-IOPM
Distinguished A1rivals-Mr. Gilstt Register Of the
Treasury OF to the Nerc York Custom HOUSE, to
bring up The Returns of Exports and Imports
consnlship-Ship Congress-4fairs at the Sand
tcich Islands


lhere VIII be an agitation in this pool of Sloan
before long, though not by an angel Something is
going to be done. In addition to the Hon. r. H.
Morris, (your late Mayor) at Coleman 'swe have at
Browns this evening, the distinguished IT, S Com
missioner with Texas, Hon A. J. Donelson. and
Hon. Edward A. Hannegan, of Indiana. (U. s.
Senate.)


Mr.. GlIett, Register of the Treasury, left, as we
learn this evening for short visit to his residence
In st. Lawrence county, New York. He will stop,
going or returning, to assist Collector Lawrence and
his deputies In making out his report of imports and
exports to the Secretary of the Treasury, in readl
ness tor the Secretarys report to Congress. II APP
pears that Collector Van Ness's returns tor his last
quarter have not been made out, and that there is
something of difficulty among the scribes of your
Custom House, to whose account certain goods
are TO be plac d For instance, large amount OF
goods were warehoused by Collector Van Ness, and
the question has been raised whether the duties
upon these goods are to be placed to the accounts
OF Collector Van Ness, or with the next monthly
returns OF Collector Lawrence. 1t seems to us clear
ds Hiuu ldt SUCH receipts SnOulQ De accounted lOI
in the returns for the quarter upon which the goods
IN the premises were received and warehoused, and
not for any subsequent monthly quarterly report.


The delay in furnishing, or rather in finishing
up the monthly and quarterly statements in your
Custom House, may arise from the fact, that if the
clerks had hurried themselves, number Of them
would have been thrown out of employment upon
the succession to the Collecorshir of Collector Law
renee. Mr.. Gett man of business, and we are
certain that he will have, by his visit TO New York,
the returns from the great Custom House made out
in season.


A Mr.. Sherwood, Of New York, it is said, has
been appointed Consul to Messina, in the Medter-
ranean


The frigate Congress, which ought to have been
off sometime ago to the Sandwich Islands, has been
delayed by further order of ten days at Norfolk.
Our commercial affairs at the Islands aforesaid are
said to be in a state Of suspenson-the U. S: Com
missioner Brown, and the U. S. Consul Abel, .(Ty-
ers appontments,) being chargeable with this bus,
ness. Ten Eyck is the new Commissioner, and
Turrel, of New York, the new Consul. They will
go out in the Congress. Perhaps she is waiting for
them. Speculations rife to the detention and
destination of the Congress, and something further
may be developed in few days.
