Mr. Kendall has resigned the place of Fourth Auditor, and is appointed Postmaster General. Mr. Pickett has resigned the place of Superintendent of the Patent-office, and accepted that of Fourth Auditor. Dr. Mason, recently appointed Chief Clerk in the general post-office, (a personal friend and connection of Mr. Barry,) has also resigned his trust. It is said that P. S. Loughborough, Esq., who has for several years filled an agency in the department, is to take the post of Chief Clerk. This we should suppose to be a good appointment. Joseph H. Bradley, Esq., has been appointed Attorney for the corporation of Washington, in the place of Rich. S. Coxe, Esq., resigned.
