er three weeks We frequently hear of mistukes of this kind. ‘The Boston Journal, of the 11th inst., saya :—The valuable letter which was advertised as meal on Monday last, bas been received by the house to whom it was properly directed, at New York. It contained eight checks fortwenty-two thousand dollars, and was unfortunately bagged tor Norfolk The failure of such remittance in times like these, is at least no joke ‘We find the following in the Charleston Couricr, of the Sth inst.:—We give the petition of the Chamber of Commerce of this city, to the House of Representa- tives of the U. States, praying them to adopt the reso- lution by the Senate, restoring the mail to the old route, by which we will receive it one day earlier. We hope it may have some effect, but fear that the in- fluence of the Post Master General will be sufficiently powe: ful to prevent its parsant ‘Lhe irregularities of the mails throughout the whole country, is now a matter of serious complaint. We have some evidences of the carelessness of Post Mas- ters before us. A gentleman of this city, sent to New Orleans a bank eck on the 26th of June, an answer to which was not received here until the 20th of July, coming by the Northern mail, post marked New York, the luth July, mistent. The same person forwarded from here an- other letter, to the same house in New Orleans, dated the 15th July, and he yesterday re ed an answer to it by the hern mi st marked Portland, 24 Aug., and dated in New Orleans on the 21st July. Complaints as to the non-reception of newspapers, are numerous from all quarters, We received a letter a day or two since from a subseriber in Tuscaloosa, informing us that but three of our papers had reached him in three mouths, They were regularly despatched from this office. Voters ought to pledge Cass not to re-appoint Cave Johnson, Post Master General. If he would come out with a card, announcing thet such is not his inten- tion, it would make @ difference of several thousand votes. Police Intelligence. Robbing their Cuptain.—The Captain of a canal boat called S. L. Phelps, by the name of Melsia Rich- ards, a few days ago, while at Albany, fell asleep on the k, and while laying thus asleep his pocket. book fell from his pocket, and on getting up, he went off, Jeaving his book, containing $4, lying on a piece of tar- liv ; during his absence, two of his hands, called Rosen Stewart and George W. Brown, picked up the book, well knowing it was the Captain’s, and divided the coatents between them ; the Captain did not sus- pect either of his men, until their arrival in New York yesterday, when Stewart began to spend his half of the imoney very freely, by flourishing amongst the women; the wight previous, having been seen to take a lady called Sally Sideboard, from Little Water street, in a cerriage to the Bowery theatre; on ascertaining these facts, the Captain suspected that it was his money that was paying the shot, and in order to satisfy his suspi- cions, he engaged the services of ex-constable Joseph and officer Coady, of the 1st ward, who very soon ar- rested Stewart and Brown, whom they conveyed to the Tombs, where, after a short examination, they be- came alarmed, acknowledged their guilt, which enabled the officers to get back all the money from the parties to whom they had paid it; amongst this party were several females, who refunded back $3 and $6 each, which the accused had given them while under the in- fluence of a spree. Brown and Stewart were both committed by the magistrate, and to-day they will be taken back to Albany for trial. Arrest of Young Burglars.—Officer Hoffman, of the 17th ward police, arrested early yesterday morning two boys, of about fourteen years of age, one black and the other a white boy; the former calling himself John H. Thompson, and the latter Charles Watson. ‘Cheese young scamps, it seems, broke into the dwelling house occupied by Dr, Anson, situated on the corner of 10th street and 2d avenue, the night previous, by forcing open the back window with a large chisel or screw driver, and thereby obtained an entrance. About 5 o’clock inthe morning, a servant man, who sleeps in the house to take care of it while the family is absent in the country, heard a noise in the house, and supposing it to be burglars called inthe aid of the above officer, who searching the house found the black boy in a closet, where the cunning rascal had locked the door with the key inside, and refusing to open the same, the officer, to get him out, was com- pelled to force it open by breaking off the lock. The other young scamp was found secreted in‘a closet in the third story, under some old clothes. On search- ing their pockets, several gold studs were found in the pocket of the white boy, and on the negro’s head was found a fancy variegated night cap, which took the eye of the darkie as being very pretty. The different rooms which these young burglars passed through, showed evident signs of the work of old hands, as the bureaus and closets were turned upside down, in a most complete manner, in search of silver ic jersey: Justice Timpson committed them both to prison for trial. Burch the Forger.—In noticing the arrest, in yester- day’s Herald, of Wm. Burch, the man charged with forging checks in payment for goods bought of differ- ent merchants, we gave the credit of the arrest to officer Furlong, instead of which, officers Dufion and Waterbury, of the 7th ward, were the lucky men who made this important arre!

Cyrus Munson, of the Episscopal Church at New Miliford,Conn., died of dysentery after a brief illness, on Tuesday—the day previous to the on» in which he was to have been married. —The following is an extract from a letter received by the telegraph on Tuesday night: Martamonas, July 27, 1848, We have selected for post, a beautiful spot of high land, directly opposite Matamoras, and just above Fort Brown. Gen. Wool was so delighted with the spot that he ordered Capt. Chapman to commence building bar- Tackr, quarters, stabi tore houses, kc. A town is fast springing up alongside of our selection, which is called by some Brownsville. We do not exactly fancy the nam ‘t you suggest a better one? low do you like Granada? One half of the site is covered with pomegranates. It is bound to te alarge commercial town. Itis very healthy—far more so than this side of the river.

Wash- ington gets & for New Mexico—in a few days at the farthes' Fleason, one of the editors of the Flag, died and was buried yesterday under thé ag (near the flag-stafl) in Fort Brown. He was a finé fellow. He died of consumption. Point | bel and Fort Brown, or Granada, are the only places designated by the War Department to be occupied, thus far. Tancrr Excunsrox.—The National Cadets, Capt Mellyille, passed our office en Friday morning, on their return from a target excursion, accompanied by & band of music. They are a fine looking body of men, and the perforated condition of tie target showed that they are marksmen of no ordinary grade. The Friends of Ireland at Utica, ata meetin, over which Fred.

The Oregon Bili—The Missouri Compromise. The House of Representatives have, by a vote of 121 to #2, rejected the Senate amendment to the Oregon bill recognizing the Missouri compromise line. The amendment declares, in effect, that in- a:much as the territory lies north of 36 degrees 30 minutes, therefore, slavery shall be forever prohi- bited. It was, as I have said, rejected by a majo- rity of 39; but four Northern democrats having voted for it. Its defeat has elicited a fiercer an- tagonism between the North and the South than I have ever before witnessed in the House. The ehagrin of the Sonthern men is indescribable. It affords an indication that the North will not now be content with even the Missouri compromise. On this oecasion, men who had always previously sustained the compromise, and advocated its adoption with regard to the new territories, voted against its recognition in the Oregon bill. The immense majority against it caused no little asto- nishment. . : The North cannot sustain this vote. The Northern members had no excuse whatever for yoting against the amendment. It did not con- firm slavery in any portron of the territory. not bind aby pertion. It was calculated to se! a vexed question, as concerned Oregon, ina quiet and judicious manner, of which the North could not, in reason, complain. It was perfectly fair and honorable. Its rejection will cause much more serious mischief than seems to have been appre- hended beforehand. ‘ It is remarkable, that the greater number of Mr. Buchanan’s friends, who have been hitherto satis- fied with the Ce ae an voted against the amendment. Mr, Buchanan himself, however, has not changed his views in the slightest degree. He is as strong an advocate of compromise as ever, and his friends who voted against the amend- ment did £o in opposition to his well kuown sen- timents. Their mode of reasoning, however, is stringent against the South. They say they would have been satisfied ‘with the adoption of the Mis- souri compromise at first, and that as a pledge of their desire for jts success, they offered to the South as a candidate for the Presidency, the man who had been the first to express hiniself a sup- porter of the Missouri: compromise, and that the South has thrust him and the compromise aside, and chosen a man who has no fixed opinion on the subject; that they no longer feel bound to sup- ort the compromise, as so little attention has een paid to their position and their clans. There 1s an amusing underplot connected with this drama. In the Senate, Mr. Breese and Mr. Smith, and in the House, Mr. MeCleraand, of [ili- nois, are candidates for the Senate of the United States. A majority of the people of Illinois are in favor of the Wilmot proviso, and so Mr. Smith, in order to get the vantage ground of his competitors, voted against Mr. Clayton’s territorial bill, com- monly called a compromise bill. Mr. Breese, de- termined not to be caught napping by Mr. Xmith, voted, yesterday, against the adoption of the c promise amendment ; and, to-day, Mr. McCler- nand, in order, at least, to entitle himself to an equal share of Illinois popularity, voted against the amendment, likewise. . GALVIENsIs. Wasuineton, August 9, 1848. Sympathy for Ireland—The London Tablet. The tocsin of Irish independence has sounded in the streets of this capital. In despite of the rain this evening, an immense concourse of the friends of Ireland assembled at Odd Fellow’s Hall, in this city, to adopt measures in furtherance of the efforts of the Irish nation. The proceedings throughout were marked with the wildest enthu- siasm. The adopted son of Washington presided. Among those on the platform, I noticed the venera- ble John Boyle, who bore arms, when a stripling, in ’98, and one of whose sons fell in the service of his country dermg the Mexican war; and John Foy, who, like many other gallant Inshmen, fought for England at Wa- terloo, but is now eager to serve his own coun- try ina more gloriousstruggle. Towards the close of the evening, the meeting was addressed by Gen. Houston, ex-President of Texas and Senator of the United States, and by Mr. Foote, the gifted and warm-hearted Senator from Mississippi. Their speeches called forth the stormiest enth’ siasm. Shout after shout, and cheer after cheer, burst forth from the excited multitude, and, at the cloge of their speeches, the applause was pro- tracted and deafening. Ihave witnessed nothing like it in Washington. J had often heard of the electrical effect of Gen. Houston’s speeches, but never before had an opportunity of judging of it, as I had always chanced to hear him on some question in which he was little iaterested. Last night he was the orator. ; The Irish people must by this time have com- menced their struggle. God"s curse must surely light on those who would seek to render the move- ment abortive. Jama Catholic, and also opposed to the infliction of capital panishment in general ; but I would most cheerfully devote to death, if his faagtnent lay with me, that man, be he priest, or 18] ahs or layman, annointed or unannointed, who would, in the present crisis, seek to divert the hearts of the Irish people from the struggle they are about to engage in. | cannot believe, that when the time comes for action, there will be one member of the national clergy of Ireland, who will not be found encouraging, by voice and example, the onslaught on the nelish oppressor. I know a hundred clergymen, and I can name their names, who, if need be, will die in the ranks of the Irish army. The impertinent platitudes of the London Tab- det are easily explained. It 1s the organ of the English catholics, the descendents of those who lighted the fires of Smithfield, in the reign of Ma- 1y—bigots in religion, bigots in everything—men who, when for their coward king, James, of drivelling memory, the Irish gentlemen were fighting, and dying, and being banished by the thousand, were prostrating themselves in syco- phancy at the feet of the new monarch; men who own estates in Ireland which they never see, and which they fear will be jeoparded by civil war.— That the base and interested organ of such men should be at all regarded by any man having Irish blood in his veins, is too absurd to be thought of, let its remarks come through what channel they may. I have talked with men the most cautious and circumspect—mén opposed to bloodshed, except in the most. extreme cases—men whose names are known throughont the world for pruderce and statesmanship—and they have said, notwithstanding their knowledge of England’s vast _power—of Ireland’s want of ee aration ~ that if Ireland do not tight now, an desperately fight, she will be forever disgraced; and alter cool calculation they have said, that success is not only possible, but probable. There is an enter- prise on foot here, which will, conduce greatly to this succesa, but the particulars of which [I am not at liberty to disclose, as secrecy 1s necessary to 11s accomplishment. In despite of Mr, Benton's efforts, General Kearny has _ been confirmed, by a vote of 32 to 14 —the fatter all democrats. GALVIENSIS. Wasuineton, August 10, 1818. Letter from Don Nicholas—Its Charges—The Pre- sident—Commissioncr Burke. The House, to-day, was startled by a letter from Mr. Trist, addressed to the Speaker, accusing his excellency, the President, of high crimes and mis- demeanors, even to resorting to subornation and perjury, with a view to the absorption of the whole of Mexico. There were various documents ac- companying the letter, including his private in- structions from the Executive Department. ‘They were all referred to the Commitee on Foreign Af fairs. The House refused to print, for the reason that the precise contents of the papers were not known. The committee retired for an extraordi- nary session, to weigh the charges, and ascertain whether there is sufficient ground for impeach- ment. It is too late in the session to try his excel- lency; but if the facts justify, “articles” might fbe brought forward, to stand out in bold relief as con- demnation of his course, on affairs connected with the Mexican conquest. Altogether, the war, from its inception to the close—the conduct of the Pre- sident—the domge of Trist—the courts marti the debates of Congress in reference, etc., af- ford a series of events withouta parallel in sacred or profane history; and but a few years will elapse betore we will took back upon the past, and won- der how such things could be. The Committee of Patents, who have been ex- amining the charges of Dr. Clinton against the Commissioner, (Mr. Burke,) have completed their report. The result is, that they give him a gene- ral acqui'tal, although we have been informed they find some little fault in a few trifling particu- lars. We have always thought well of this gentle. man, and are glad_that he has “ washed his hands in innocency.” He is a good officer, an accom- jee gentleman, and gifted with talents of a igh order. While saying this, we do not mean to be disrespectful to his accuser, for the doctor's character, so far as we know, 1s yg and he 18 es- teemed as reputable, Not only Mr. Burke’s tends, but the public, should be gratified that a high pub- | lie functionary has maintained his integrity. Mr. Farally, of the committee, conducted the exami- ; Nation of the witnesses in such @ manner as to eli- i cit commendation. Frux. . - The Missowrs Compromise— “ Indomita- bles” still left—Another Sectional Struzgle— Branch Mint. The telegraphic wires have already informed you that the House to-day rejected the amendment of the Senate,stretching the Missouri compromise line to the Pacifie Ocean in the tuture organi tion of territories of the United States, by a m« jority ot thirty-nine. If we mistake not, twenty- one democrats from the non-slav *holding States, on the 28th; of July, voted, in the Hogse, against laying upon the table the Calhoun and Claytoa non-interference-with-slavery compromise from the Senate, But there were only four democrats from non slaveholding States who stood up with the South for the Missouri compromise, viz: Charles Brown, C. J. logersoll, Richard Brod- head, all of Pennsylvania, and A. Birdsall, of Yew York. The last named gentleman to-day, the previous occasion, was ‘solitary and in, and stood out in bold relief from, + New York delegation. [tis a singulur fact tha just befcre the vote was taken, the nominations of the Buffalo Convention were received, Whet or not this fluenced a single member is to us un- known, but we have heard it boldly charged was suggested that a dinner be given te the four “indomitables” by the Southerners, but My Holmes, of South Carolina, thinks that unless the culinary arrangements be soon made there wiil be no quests, This morning, a bill to grant alternate sections of the public lands to the Alabama, Georgia, and Florida railroad company was killed, ‘This eve ing, a bill, similar, was 1 ive lands for the Michigan and Kalamazoo ¢ The South- ern members inunediately took fire, and thonght it peculiarly unjust that their section ot country should be treated so shabbily. And so a contest arose; first to reconsider the vote, ‘hen to loy that upon the table, (whieh did not prevail) and mny other motions beside. Finally, the Michigan bill was laid upon the table, and the twala sleep in death together. 2 Nochance this session for a Branch a New York. [t would be tolly t rw, be= cause it would receive a d “r the next session the desideratumn will be # ed, and this accounts for the apparent inatte of your representatives. Fer Wasitxe@ton, Aug. Il, 1si* Important Statistics. Ihave procured trom various off! a number of yaiuable and important stati before made public. They embrace into: on the result of the tariffs of I8f2 and 18d, re- ively : the value of merchandize rer aining in ware-house ; the amount of specie coined by the United States Mint ; the receipts of specie into the Treasury for eighteen months, ending on the Ist July Jast, and the disbursements during the same period ; the value of American coin deposit- ed; the returns of the value of domestic produce exported, Wc. Wc. Several newspapers, in Boston and New York, have lately been speculating upon most of the items embraced here, and as they had no data to go upon, their remarks, of course, have no® been yery accurate. I take great pleasure, therefore, in being able to forward a few facts, so as to enable them to abuse or defend the Secretary of the Treasury, as they may feel disposed, with- out, as heretofore, indulging in mere speculations, not drawn from any reliable source. The following tables exhibit the comparative value of the penis into the Treasury, wader tarifis of 1842 and 1846, respective Receipts during the 3d uarter of 1842, was 12,093 586 39 3,927,137 81 240,804 16 4,106,039 75 arter 4th qui Ist 2d 3a 4th Ist 2d " Ba 4th Ist # 2d 3a “ 4th $15,007,668 31 26,18) 670 94 27,528,112 D) 20,712,667 87 $051,089 06 Total value... ‘The tariff of 1846 went inte operation on the Ist December, 1546, and since that period up to the 30th June, 1848, the following have been the re- ceipts :— Receipts during the 4th se ee eee eee eee G102,07 7 68 quarter of 1846... $8,041,192 22 Deduct October and No- vember, 1846........ $1,213,780 74 Int quarter of 1837... 13,952,845 86 ga «, 4th « tb eee Ist“ 1848 2d - 31,757,070 96 Total value...... + ge «$46 923,647 56 ‘The tarft of 1842 brought ‘into ‘the ‘Preasury, eau Sy operation of fifty-one months, per sisonitb; The’ tari f 1846 brought into the Treasury, during its operation, from Dec.

There has been, of course, a very con- siderable decrease, asco»ipared with a correspond- ing period of the previous year. The very large exports of breadstafls in 1846-7, were caused prin- cipally by the famine in Europe, which, thank God, did not revisit those ill-fated countries last year. The whole amount of domestic exports, from the Ist July, 1847, to the first April, 184%, was, #97,922,871, of which, produce to the value of 42,500,979, or nearly one-half, went to Engiand and her dependencies.

A very great error, however, is committed, as the result of only one tariff 1s given in the year 1846-7, whilst two tarifls were in opera- tion, and the amount collected under each should be added together. It will be seen by the table I have giyen above, that, so far, the returns are in favor of the tariff of 1s. Omrea. Bautiorg, Aug. 12, 1848. A Soaking Rain—The Fruit Crop—Commerce of Baltimore—Gen.
