The Union says that if the industry of Eu- rope, excluding England, is to be paralyzed by 8 war it cannot see how American interests are likely to suffer. However. it does not consider it by any means certain that the world is to witness any such disgraceful “ breach of the peace.” The same paper treats generally of the guano question, and suggests the importance, in 8 com- mercial point of view, of the discovery and oc- cupation by American citizens of the guano islands in the Pacific. The Intelligencer, alluding to the articles in the Union on the postal question, thinks that the argument does not necessarily extend to re- lieving the President from the probable duty of calling an extra session of Congress, for the reason that, although the Department may go on, it cannot, in its crippled state. confer all those advantages to which the public have been accustomed. —_—_+see- — _- IP The Queen’s theatre in London is about to be transformed into a large hotel on the American pian {> The British mai) steamers in port at New York on Wednesday displayed their colors at half- mast in token respect for the memory of the late Postmaster-General. 7 The Baltimore Clipper’s “special report” of the Georgetown Conference proceedings in this morning's paper reads amazingly like that pub- lished im the Star of yesterday. 10° The New York Board of Councilmen have adopted an ordinance for the prevention of frand in the weight of coal, by requiring every cart em- ployed in the delivery of coal to have an accurate scale attached to it.

The name of the child was Bisir, and of the man, Priestly Cuxss Prayixne.—The “Christian Intelligen- cer,” and “Presbyterian,” are disenssing the ques- tion of the morality of Chess Playing. Both jour- nals doubt the good moral effect of the game on account of the time it takes, the fatigue occasioned, ‘want of utility, &e. The Intelligencer however, defends it for children. INTERESTING FROM Jarax.—By advices from Japan to November 1th, we learn that the new Emperor, Foen Tzigo, bad issued a decree rela- tive to the fulfillment of the terms of the treaties recently concluded with foreign powers. A lib- eral tone characterizes the document throughout. It permits the introduction of the Catholic religion into the ports of Simoda, Hakodadi. Nangasaki and Desiima, but stoutly refuses to permit the im- portation of opium—a favor which it is said the English had hoped to obtain from the new Em- ‘peror, after all negotiations to that end had failed with his predecessor. Mr. Star:—You publish a paragraph. in which It is stated that the list of property advertised for taxes in Chicago. fills forty-seven columus, and ix- timating that this is a proof of great embarrass- ment there. Are you aware that the same list in Wasbington—a place containing a little more than one third of the population and. doing not one- tenth of the business of Chicago—tills thirty-tive columns? If the list of Chicago were as great in Proportion as that in Washington, it would fill one hundred and ten columns, instead of forty- seven. Please insert this and oblige Cutcaco. March 9. SS ee ABOLITION oF THE GRaND JeRy In Micwican. The Detroit Free Press says the act providing for the trial ot criminals by information goes into ef- fect sixty days after the 12th of February, at which time it beeame a law. This law virtually abol- ishes the grand jury, which has for so long exer- cised inquisitorial functions, reserving for the cir- cuit judge powers to call it into season whenever special cases need its aid. All cases are to be examined before a justice of the peace. and by them committed directly to the higher courts, tn- stead of for indictment as has previously been done. ees ‘Tue Mystic (Cr.) Murver.—A man, giving | the name of Wi. Goodson, hes been arrested in New York on suspicion of being the man who committed the murder at Mystic, Connecticut, some two years ago, which at that time so shock- ed the community. It will be remembered that the victim, John Humphrey, was found in the Fiver, with his throat cut from earto ear, the arm, Jegs, and ears cut off, and otherwise shockingly mutilated. The accused made his escape at the time, and bas not been heard of since until a few days ago, when he was found on board of the ship A. Westerveit. New Pusticar -—Messrs.

It is understood that the Department's means are insufficient to mect the demands due on the quarter ending 30th of December last; indeed, that the Department is already mearly gi. months in arrears. The deficieney stat ‘in likely to occur in the appropriation for the current year was $3,800,000. The Postmaster General did not, however, take into account the fact that it has long been the custom of the Department to pay the expenses of the last | ‘Washington. With them, too, have de; the Postmaster General's, Annual Report as Sad ae of our usual winter population: quarter of the year out pf the appropriation for the sueceeding years; and with that sum added, the deficiency is probably fully $5:000.000. This custom arose from the fact that the ac- counts for each quarter are made out at its close and sent to the Department. They have there to be examined and audited. The Department then issues its drafts to its creditors, which are also audited. All this takes time, and the accounts are not usually closed till at least half the ensuing quarter has expired. It is said to be apparent from the exhibit® that the Department will have to be supported at least three quarters of a year by resources from an unusual source, if it is determined to keep up the service and dispense with an extra session of Congress. As the effects of suspend- ing the service would at this time be ruinous to the interests of the entire country, and also be attended with an enormous outlay of money, for which the Government would derive no equiv- alent, in consequence of the failure to fulfill con- tracts for transportation, rents, &e.. we cannot suppose the President entertains any idea of accepting thatalternstive. The question then is, ean the serviee be maintained without eall- ing an extra session of Congress to make an ap- propriation for it ” Now, are there funds sufficient at the disp® sal of the Department, and are there other sources from which money ean be drawn with- out express provision by law ? : The exhibit answers the first proposition neg- atively. The law auswers the second. The ninth seetion of the act of August 6, 1346, and the first section of the act of July 2, 1836, make it the duty of the Postmaster General to direct the payment of moneys accruing from the postal service into the Treasury of the United States as they accumulate. and there is no other law existing behind which he ean shelter himself in the non-performance of this duty, except so far az concerns ‘ the compensation of |deputy| postmastery, the expenses of post offices, and such other expenses of the Department for which appropriations have been made, aa way be incurred by [deputy] postmasters.”” which * may be deducted out of the proceeds of their offices, under the direction of the Postuwaster General,’"—| Act of July 2. 1836, see. 4.] Nor ean this revenue be drawn from the Treasury again. except in pursuance with a law appropri- ating it for the specific purposes of the Post Office Department. The postal revenue does not belong to the Post Office Department. but to the Treasury; just as that revenue does which accrues from import { duties. sales of public lands, &e., and should be equally guarded. Although the amount mentioned in the above quotation from the law | of 1336 does not in fact go into the Treasury, its payment by deputy postinasters must be pro- vided for by an appropriation act. But even | thatis constructively paid into the Treasury. | for the Postmaster General is required to giv: | his warrant to the Treasurer in lieu of this amount, and that warrant is credited and charged to the Post Office Department. . Tue Work ox tur Treasury ExtENston.— At the time of the refusal of Congress to make the usual appropriation for continuing the con- struction of the extension of the Treasury De- partment, the Superintendent had in band, unexpended, of the appropriation of the previ- ous year, a balance of $250,000. Of this sum, a | considerable portion, some $99.000, must neces- sarily be paid to contractors, as balances re- tained from them to secure the faithful perfor- mance of theircontracts. The reat, we hear, with the $50,000 appropriated, will be expend- ed in continuing the construction of the south wing, suspending the work on the west wing. In that way itis hoped that the main force now employed may be retained until Congress shall again meet, ifcalled together earlier than j usual, as is anticipated. We hear that the | granite contractors have, at this time. a force of twelve hundred hands employed, and three vessels constructed wholly to transport the stone for this building, and utterly useless for aught else. If it becomes necessary to violate the Government's contract with these parties, the damages they will probably (and justly) obtain from Congress in the end, on that a:- count, can hardly fail to be less than half a million of dollars—the full amount of the ap- | propriation for the entire year’s work on the | building, as originally inserted in the bill by the Committee of Ways and Means! | Were not the House penny-wise and pound- foolish in this matter? —— Mr. Peckssirv.—Our Pecksniffian neighbor, | the Intelligencer, moralizes this morning over | ashocking want of propriety on the part of journals it does not name, in spreading before | | their readers the opinions of the press upon the | late domestic exposure through the killing of | Philip Barton Key. Mr. Peeksniff is solemnly | ; impressed with the belief that, as the weight | of such newspaper opinions is not favorable of the propriety of the killing under the cireum- | stances, their publication may ereate in the | minds of those who are to be the jury, impres- sions unfavorable to the aeeused. Unfortu- | nately for Mr. Pecksniffs pretensions in this | case. Mr. Pecksniff’s original statement of the | | circumstances of the killing—published on the | morning after it oceurred—was so notoriously | a garbled, unfair, and apparently pre-arranged effort to conceal the truth from the public fur the benefit of the accused, as that it not only shocked thesen: tiesof all ingenuous-minded | persons here, but laid the foundation for the | ry general opinion of the press that a repre- | h ble effort is being made to choke off due | investigation into the killing of Mr. Key. We | have a shrewd suspicion that Mr. Pecksniff mey blow his illustrious nose indignantly at the press after the same fashion daily,cver this maiter, without inducing any to believe that his indignation is more ingenuous than his oiginal misrepresentation of the killing was | truthful. oe Tur Point or Ertquetre.—The wags of both sexes ip society here have been greatly amused | in a quiet way for years past by a sort of squab- ble about precedence on public oecasions, un- derstood to have been in progress in all that time between the Diplomatic Corps on the one | hand and the Supreme Court on the other; the | 4r@ve question, which should euter the dini ng room first on festive occasions, time and again having created intense heart-buruings in judi- cial and diplomatic circles, and disturbed the ies and gentlemen entertaining, , not unfrequently to the point of inner in Washington the stiff- We have making a State est and gloomiest affair conceivable. heard of one amiable and lovely hostess who, after years’ study of books on etiquette, not long since threw up the task of discovering some means of reconciling the so oft recurring vs didiculty, in absolute despair, mentally yes! ing to let the parties to the contest “ fight it out.” These les were mere matters of fun tothe outside world while arising over feasts; when taking funerals into their range of appropriate occasions, they become exceedingly regretable. naar Se Gosg.—By the time at which tho Scar will &o to press to-day there will be few members of the last Congress remaining among of Congressional outsiders, persons having busi- ness before the Houses; the fashionables ofboth sexes from a distance who visit us in the win- ter as they go to the watering places in the summer to see, be seen, and while away time. Their number during the last month of the late session was much larger than ever before, we believe, except on. the occasion of an inaugura- tion and 1 consequent rush of thousands of pa- triots to the Federal metropolis, ambitious of serving their beloved country ‘-for a considera- tion.”’ We trust that their number may con- tinue to increase annually. as their presence here is synonomous with the expenditure of their money, in many cases with lavish hands, among our business fellow citizens, hotel- keepers, merchants, tradesmen, &e., &c. oo Tur Fine Ants.—Mr. Swayne, a promising young Pennsylvania artist, has reeently mod- eled some fine busts of prominent public men, two of which are now to be seen in the rotunda, viz: one of Gen. Sam. Houston and of Hon. Joshua R. Giddings, both of which are exceed- ingly creditable to the sculptor as likenesses and as works of art. It is fortunate that Gen Houston sat at this time, as he is about to leave for his distant home. The absence of his com- manding figure, and pleasant, manly face, will oceasion a blank in this community; but we ean retain this noble bust of him, and itis to be hoped that the General's friends—and they are legion—will commission the artist to put it in arble without delay.
