NEW YORK CUSTOM-HOUSE.


At the request of one Of the Officers of the
New York Custom House, the Secretary of
the Treasury appointed three Commissioners
to investigate the alledged frauds and general
concerns of that branch of the department.
We learn in connection with the above that
the Commissioners have commenced their la
bors, and from the numerous cases of fraud,
peculation, ,mismanagement, bribery and swim
ding of the most astounding character that
has met them at the outset, that they will be
occupied for some months before they can, in
justice, accomplish all the objects of their mis-.
sion. In the meantime it is intimated that
there will be disclosures that will make the
hair stand. So much for one of the favorite
nominations Of the Van Buren administration.
GENUINE TRAITS THE Loco-Focos.--From
the Albany Evening Journal, we learn that
many of the Wing members of the N. York
Legislature, having been accidently absent one
day, during its late session, SO as TO leave a
temporary majority in favor of the Loco-focos
they took advantage of the fortuitous circum-
stances to repeal The Registry Law of the city
of New York, the Crotsn water work Bill and
other acts equally arbitrary, tyrannical and
oppressive. Judge the tree by its FRUIT?


THE Locos AGAIN.--A Commissioner has
been appointed to investigate the alledged a
buses of the Navy Agent at Norfolk, and the
Loco-focos are said to be in great consterna
ton in consequence. Really, the present ad
ministration will be nearly all its time unfold
ing and examining into the gross abuses anc
frauds of the Van Buren Officers We will
soon see additional beauties of the Loco-focc
party recently in power-and in view of the
outrages committed by the Loco-focos in of
fee, the patriots of the day may we'll have
exclaimed, "God save the Republicl"


THE PREs1DENT.-By late arrivals from
England, no doubt was entertained there o
of the loss of the il-fated steamship President
The opinion has now become universal thai
she has foundered between the icebergs in Ia
king the Northern passage. She has perish
ed like the Hornet, and leaves no one to tel
the sad story OF her fate.


One amongst the ablest documents ever pu
forth by any public functionary since the es
tablishment of this Republic, is that of Mr.

Minister, who has in the name and by the au
thority of his government, made an explic
and immediate demand for the release of tha
notorious, black-hearted and daring murderer
Alexander Mcleod, who is now imprsonec
and awaiting the future day of his trial. Ths
manner in which Mr.. Webster replies, will be
