WEDNESDA Y SEPT, 22. I'iiE intention of the Goveminent to make appointmente oflnepectoie ae virtual]y tbe heade of varioue- departmente, ebpuld meet with the appr.oval of all who deeire to 8ee efficiency eom--bit)ed-wfth---econorpy ffi"ādēTB^cFalacITrTel)c'or our puhlie eervice.

eiuu e^penenee nae oeen selected, upob whom hae heen laid the duty of reporting directlv'to 1 tbe Minieter the preeent requiremente of cvery diBtrict, from Kauai to Hawaii, in the uiatter of Jt8 internal communicatione. There will be no ■ C'xpenditure of ..thc appropriatione made by the Legislature for roads and bridges until the ln*. Bpector'e report on the eubject„has rcceived the ,c.oneideration of the Goverjimcnt... When the • naturc oi" the worke to 5e undertaken hae thue been eettled, tlici r cxecution will be carried on by the loeal officere, but etill under the general eontrol of the lnej)ectpr and in accordahce witb hie pilans. Such.ie the invariable custom oi'all otber civiiized eommuniīi.ee, and we'have reaeon to believe tliāt"a great eavmg in 'the cost of worke, and a great addition to their ueeīulneee i would have heen eecui;gd had i: been adopted I bere long ago. We bave alluded to the propoeed appp,mtment of tbe Jlev. Mr. Eingham ae inepector to the department of. immigration. Tbere ean be no doubt tbat. eome eueh arrangement ehould have - heen made from the firet,when the government undertōok to brmg immigrante here to eerve ae laborere on our plantatione.

Sneeri.no remarks are indulged in by the Oppoeition Pr<ss in regard to various meaeuree paesed by the Legiskture. From tbe tenor of the artielee in whieh they are to be found, a etranger would certaitijy conclude tbat these meaeures -4vere the truite of the recent chairge6 i.u the adminietration,- and were among the reasone why !His Majeety'e preeent advieers are hated in cer- , tam quartere. Nevertheless these meaeureseuch j ae the Ooronati0n Bill, wiili tbe vote of $10,000 i for ca.rying out ite purposee, and the Bill for tbe payment of the debt incurred by the King partly in consequence of Hie Majeety'e patriotic journey to negotiate the Reciprocity Treaty, were paeeed by a legislature preeumably under the leaderehip oftne late Minietry, and were eupported by their v.otee. Lord John Eueeeli onee epoke of those who wcnt into the lobby,.with liim on a vote of the Houee of Oommone adveree to the Minietry of the day ae a •• fortuitoue concouree of atome," and The pbraee heeame a " houeebold word.'"
