The qus- lity of the mew grain is described as being very fine, and it is tolerably certain that the yield will bemuch Detter there than in any of the southern parts of the Kingdom, The accounts as to the state of the potato crop in Scotland still vary materially; for, whilst some parties speak of the disease as very extensive, others maintain that only a comparatively small proportion of the crop will be lost. ‘The state of the grain markets hat country may, however, be regarded as afford- proof that no fail in prices is anticipated, for sel- Jere were enabled to cbtain more money for wheat on ‘Wednesday, at Edinburgh and Glasgow, than could have been realized the preceding week. From Ireland the reports as to potatoes become worse from day to di d the wheat crop is also stated to be very deficient throughout the island. ‘There, as with us, the holders of grain have lately saised their pretensions; and the demand for Indian corn, which in the beginning of the month was slow, Bas greatly increased within the lust fortnight. The arrivals of wheat coastwise into London have Deen very small during the week, only 4,131 quarters having been reported up to this (Saturday) evening — ‘The quantity brought forward at Mark-lane by land carriage samples from the home counties has likewise been trifling rince Mond: nd the trade has through- out the week maintained a decidedly firm tone. On Wednesday the few parcels exhibited on the Es- sex and Kent stands were held for quite as much mo- ney, and, theugh the millers acted with great caution, Deing in want of fresh qualities, they had no alterna- tive, and were obliged to pay the rates asked. Subse- yuently the firmness of holders increased, and on Fri- pe purchases could scarcely be made on as easy terms as on Monday last. ‘The duty fell to 5s per quarter on Thursday, and, as the general weekly return is 568104, a further fall to 4s perquarter (the minimum.point under tMe existing law) may be looked for with certainty next week. The firmness which the trade has again assumed ren- ders it probable that the averages will remain high, and the duty continue at the lowest point for some time to come. The total quantity to be liberated is not by any means large; still the release of what isin bond in the kingdom may perhaps have some slight effect. Buyers appear, at all events, to expect that they will de enabled to do better, and have consequently pur- chated very little free foreign wheat since our last; but the little business done bas been at prices quite equal to thore at which sales were made on Monday. Boaded parcels having been held within 4s per quarter of the rates at which similar qualities might have beem bought free, have excited no attention; but some disposition has been shown to purchase free-on-board cargoes, which may be regarded as a proof that opinion isin favor of a rise in prices later in the year. Polish Odes- sa has been the principal sort in which speculation has taken place, and, after having been down aslow as 44s to 4is, has again rallied, being now worth 47s to 48s per quarter, cost, freight, and insurance. ‘The top price of town-made flour has remained nomi- nally unchanged; and ship samples have been offered on much the same termsas before. A small lot or two of fine French have been sold at full terms. In American little has been done, owing to the want of fine fresh qualities. The arrivals of barley coastwise have been scanty in the extreme, and we have only received 3.354 quarters from abroad within the last eight days. The demand has at no period of the week been at all active, but the moderate nature of the supply has prevented much anxiety being shown to realize, and needy buyers have had to pay previous prices. Good qualities of English malting barley are not worth more than about 86s. per quarter, which quotation may afford the means of Judging as to the value of other descriptions. The duty is now %., having receded a step on Thursday. Malt has excited very little attention ; but, though the inquiry has been decidedly slow, holders have re- mained exceedingly firm, and there appears very little chance of this article giving way in value. ‘The market has been sparingly supplied with oats of miich the same as quoted on Friday last The estimated at about 3.000 bales Lorpon Maxxxts—Mincing Lane, Sept. bave again to report that the opening of th merket has a depressed appearance, and that « farther dr-cline of 6d has been submitted to witheut stima- Dating buyers. co beavy is the stock on hand and so anxious are iinporters to make sales. 560 bhds. only of West India sold; 5,000 bags of Mauritius were offered in pub ic sale, about one-fourth part bought fn; 2.500 bags of Bengal found buyers also in public sale; the white Benares, of which 1,00) consisted, Drought relative full prices. but grocery descriptions rticipated in the general decline.

In other ar- ticles no alteration, but a general heaviness pervades the markets, Panis Bourse, Sept. 18, 3 P. M.—The business at the Bourse to-day was very limited, and there was a general indisposition to enter into new transactions, but the prices remained firm, and closed precisely at the prices of Saturday. In the railway shares the variations are so trifling that they are not worth no- ticing. Almost all the lines are firm. Bons du Trésor remain at 2254 per cent. discount. Exchange on Lon on, 30 days 25 3234, 90 days 25 20. ‘The minister of finances took this week a very serious step, which occasioned much commotion at the Bourse, and immediately precipitated prices. The subscribers to the new loan and the holders of the Lyons certificates were authorised to pay up their remaining instalments onreceiving a discount of 4percent. The effect of such a measure, abruptly declared in the midst of a Bourse, as it was on Friday, after great pains had been taken to persuade the public that the treasury had more funds in hand than it required, may easily be conceived. The fall produced on Friday was so sudden, that it would almost of necessity be followed by a little change for the better, and consequently on Saturday matters looked a little better. and the Bourse was more ca'm. It was imagined that this measure would force less stock on the market than was at first supposed.— Many holders of 5 per cents have exchanged out of that stock ‘tuto the loam, for the express purpose of having the advantage of the dcleyed instalments, and it is not {therefore, very probable that so amall a temp- tation as 4 per cent, an amount much below the our- rent rate of interest, would induce them to alter their plans. With the exception of Friday's Bourse, which wi gitated, the week has been one of most com- plete monotony. Very little business was done ; al- most every body was occupied with the elections. Mancuesten, Sept. 19,—Flatness and inactivity are the characteristics of the market to-day, buyers show- cided indisposition to enter into fresh engage- t present. Prices generally show @ drooping tendency, although some few descriptions of low cloths, printers. &c., remain quite firm. Yarns are quiet, and in some instanees slightly lower rates have ‘been ac- cepted for numbers which of late have been very firm. There is scarcely any business doing for India, either in goods or yarns. The languid tone of the market is, no doubt, attributable to the present uncertainty afd complication of political affairs in Germany, to the de- chning state of the Liverpool cotton market, conse- quent upon the favorable accounts of the forthcoming crop, to the unsatisfactory condition of Ireland, and to the heavy pressure upon many parties holding rail- way stock. For the present, at least, these causes are sufficient to counterbalance the favorable effects of the fine harvest weather we are now enjoying. Several large qeanes express a determination to return to, short time, whenever their contracts rather than accumulate stock, low although the rice of cotton is present. The weekiy ‘urn of the state of emplo; t in Manchester made up tothis day, under t perintendence of Captain Willis, shows a decrease in the whole number ands employed, of 513; a decrease of 570 working full time; and an increase of 57 working short time. In the cotton miils alone there are 110 more on short time, and 570 leas on full time. The Macclesfield trade js in much the came state as when we last reported. Employment is plentiful, and there are very few hands who are not fully occupied. The trimming trade, which perhaps fluctuates more than any other, is at prerent in a ratisfactory condition, owing probably to the fine weather, which invariably causes an increased demand for articles of a fancy or ornamental descrip- tion. ‘The same observations apply to Congleton and Leek, where the trade differs but slightly from that of Macclesfield. — Manchester Examiner. Lexps, Sept. 19.—Woollen cloths—There was but a thin attendance of persons in the cloth halls this morning. and the business transacted was not so large as on Tuesday last. The heaver cloths were those most in demand, and there was no quotable change in price: Hrcxwoxpwixr, Sept. 18.—Blankets—We had @ good attendance of merchants and manufacturers in the blanket hall to-day, and a brisk market was the consequence, but we can quote no alteration in prices, home growth; from our own coast only 610 quarters, from Scotland 50 quarters, and from Ireland only 322 quarters having come to hand. The arrivals from abroad have, meanwhile, fallen off more or less, and deally good sweet corn has become rather scarce. The dealers appear, however, determined to hold off, and prefer to buy from hand to mouth, rather thi vheir stocks. The transactions were of com ittle importance either on Wednesday or Friday: i though previous prices were in some cases elightly ex- ceeded, no quotable advance on Monday’s currency could be established. English beans have come forward sparingly, and have not been sold cheaper; but Egyptian has been offered a trifle lower. The late fallin the value of peas has not hitherto had the effect of bringing forward buyers, and the ope- rations in the article haye,since Monday, been on quite a restricted scale. A good many orders for the purchase of Indian corn on Irish account have been received, but the extrava- gantly high terms asked, bave interfered with business; about 2c. per quarter over previous prices has, we be- lieve. been paid for floating cargoes. The advices from the continent of Europe continue, on the whole, to give a good aceount of the result of the harvest; and though. from the exhaustion of all stocks, and the insignificant supplies of new brought forward, tue trade bad maintained a comparatively firm tone, still a good deal of influence was produced by the advices hence of the Sd inst., noting the fall of 58. per quarter at Mark-lane. Our Dantzic letters are of the 9th inst.; the best qualities of wheat might then have been bought at 50s. able, per quarter free on board, being about 2s. a 3s per quarter below the rates asked on that day week. The water in the Vistula had rather increased, which would, it was hoped, allow the barges to fioat down, and afford a better choice of quality. From Memel we have advices of the 9th of September. Our dull aceounts had not then been received there; still good wheat had been offered at 47s. a 488. per quarter free on beard At Stettin.on the Sth, the best qualities of wheat were quoted 46s., and good parcels 44s. per quarter free on board Hardly any supplies had come to market, and, having no stocks of importance, holders of the little on hand had shown great firmness. ‘This appears also to have been the case at Rostock, whence we have letters of the 11th instant, stating that, notwithstanding the discouraging advices hence, and fine weather, superior wheat had not been offered ‘jelow 50s. a ble. per quarter free on boar. ‘At Hamburgh, on Tuesday. the trade had again ral- lied from the depression of the pri us week, and new upland wheat, of 611b. s 62 1b. weight, had sold readi- ly at 488. a 498. per quarter free on board. From out- ports there were few offers below 47s.; at 45s. 6d. some ‘cargoes might have been placed. In the south of Europe, uotations of wheat appesr to have been well supported, and prices were, accord- ing to the most recently received accounts, relatively higher, at several of the Mediterranean ports, than in this country, Markets.

Sovtrnampron, Wednesday morning. We have received, by express from Paris, news of the return of Prince Louis Napoleon for the Moselle. The chances now, it appears, in the Paris elections, are in favor of the government candidates. Bugeaud hasa great many votes in the Ist, 2d, 3d, 5th and 10th arrondisrements, but very few in 4th, 6th, 7th, Sth, 9th, 11th, and 12th, where Louis Napoleon and the socialist candidates prevail. Girardin, Emile, Thomas, De Genonde, and Blanc, have no chance. Louis Napoleon has every vote almost in the Banlieus. It is certain that the armistice between Austria and Sardinia is prolonged fora month, st the instance of the mediating parties. M. Senard has tendered his resignation as Minister of the Interior. It was not accepted. ‘The accounts received from Italy, this morning, speak ef the most horrible atrocities perpetrated by both the Sicilian and Neapolitan armies. There were scenes of cannibalism. Dead bodies were cut to pieces, roasted, and eaten ! The ratification ofdhe armistice has been carried, after a long debate (257 to 236) in the Frankfort | Assembly.

At Conegis, near Chables, (Yonne) thirty houses have been burnt within the last few | days, and a number of other departments have been similar sufferers. In the Dordogne this work of incen- diariem has been proceeding in a frightful manner Suspicions bave fallen principally on parties strangers to the localities, who have been wandering about pre- tending to beg, almost ali of them being provided with ‘yeshly-delivered passports. In the environs of Fe- | camp, and at Valmont, the inhabitants are in great consternation, and are constantly kept on the gui vive.

This being ro soon (three hours after) coun- d, produced an effect opposite to that intended, ‘as several votes were given to the Prince during the day, in consequence of the deceit practised. M.

There never has ae £0 exciting an election in Paris before or after 1830, Not only bas Louis Napoleon become popular in Paris, but in thi inces he is equally so. He has been proposed with fovorable prospects in four depart- ments, the North, the Yonne, the Moselle, and Corsica. He will also be peas, in the department of the Orne and Charente. So certain was his election in Paris, that on Monday the Prefect of Police mentioned im the Assembly that he had no doubt of it, and that his colleagues would be two of the red republican candidates. The three latter would have been return- ed but forthe troops Whilst Louis Napoleon is thus, as it were, forcing himself prominently before the French people, and becoming every day stronger, General Cavaignac, by a pursuance of policy the most despotic. and in point of principle, most anti-republi- can, is daily retrograding. To ‘sdd to his unpopulari- ty, some events have lately transpired which we must “not omit to notice. In the course of a recent debate, the General dropped the remarks :—“ He was the son of a member of the oonvention, and he was proud to be the son of such a father.””” This was the substance of hislremark. The opportunity was ton good to be lost. The Mémorial Bordelais ripped up old sores, and endeavored to prove that, instead of pride ruling the General's mind, on account of his progenitorship, he should have substituted shame. Amongst other charges, it adduced the case of one M’lle La- barrére, whose father had provoked the ire of the conventionalists, and to save whom from death she submitted to the degradation of being dishonored by General Cavaignac’s father; notwithstanding which, her’father was muriered. M. Cavaignac was also charged with having seconded a motion made in the Pepular Society of Aush, for the purpose of bringing to the scaffold a number of members of the conven- tion, These statements had created so much ill feel- ing, that the General found it necessary to reply to them, which he did by citing, in reference to the last pamed charge, the debate on the subject, which took place inthe convention on the 13th Prairial, year III , and which completely exhonerated his father from the charge. As to the statement brought forward, respeot- ing M’lle Labarrere. he produced two contradictions of the report, printed in 1816 and 1844. Let the facts be as they may, now that contradiction has bee: to the General’s statement in any quarter, n: more than he does his having alluded to nis ‘The debate on the constitution is progressing, though slowly. On the article regarding capital punishment being brought forward, a long discussion, oe nying: more than one sitting, took place, Some would have capital punishment entirely abolished; others would except military breaches from entire abolition; whilst a third, and successful party, declared for the organic article or clause—abolition of capital punishment for political offences. The 6th article, declaring that slavery would not be allowed in any French territory, was passed without a dissentient voice. The 7th article gave rise to some discussion. Itran thus:—“ Every body may freely follow his religion, and hall receive from the State equal protection in the exercise of worship. Ministers of churches now re- cognized, or hereafter to be recognized by law, have alone right to receive salary from the State.” An amendment, refusing to give support to any church, ‘was rejected.

This increased the storm, and on the resumption of the de- bate, the fall of Ministers was broken. by @ proposition of M. Marrast, compromising the matter, which at once paren the Assemby. Indeed, all movements show the declining popularity of General Cavaignac. The fete at Boulogne had passed off without any dis- turbances. The Moniteur du Soir, announces that the departure of M. Pascal Duprat, has been adjourned, in conse- quence of news from Vienna. The real truth of the matter is, that his mission was a private one, and to be considered as such. Ina vain-glorious moment he wrote to the Assembly, requesting leave of absence, as he was leaving on a diplomatic mission to Austri amie beats interpellation, which resulted in his sus- pension, Itis one that a vigorous effort will be made (so soon as the 15th article, which relates to the mode of choosing the President, is before the Assembly,) to elect General Cavaignac, without appeal to the people, which would be attended by defeat. Spain, From Spain there is nothing very exciting.

Livervoot, Sept. 20—6 A. M. The mails from Dublin have just arrived, and by the letters and papers forwarded by our special correspoa- dents, we are in the receipt of several items of inte- resting intelligence. The emeuté, noticed in our express despatch, for- warded per the America, appears to have subsided. At present all appears to be quiet, and the rebel camps, as certain portions of the Southern press facetlously called them, have broken up, the insurgents returning home until more favorable times, Mr. Doheny is still at large. The constabulary are not able to detect his place of retreat, and various and conflicting are the rumors as to his whereabouts, not a few continuing to assert that he is ‘sure and certain” within the precincts of Dublin Castle, waiting to be called up to Clonmel, to give testimony on behalf of the Crown, against Mr. Smith O’Brien, Mr. Meagher, &c. Alluding to the State trials, we may observe that the preliminary arrangements are now nearly all com- pleted, and that the commission opens at Clonmel en to-morrow. The judges are to be Chief Justice Black- burn, Chief Justice Doherty, and Judge Moore. Itis usual in this country, in special commissions to try treasonable offences, to name three judges. At the trials of Arthur O’Connor and his associates at Maid- stone, in Kent, the number of commissioners exceeded three. At the trialsof Emmett and thoze implicated in his insurrection in 1803, five judges were named in ission; only three sat. The trial of Frost sociates, at Monmouth, in 1839, was con- ducted by three judges. The commission will open, unlike ordinary assizes, for the country at large. For ordinary purposes, Tipperary bas been divided into two ridings, the assizes for the north being held at Ne- nagh, for the south at Clonmel, with separate grand and petit juries. It has been decided that this division of the county does not apply to the case of special commissions, and the grand and petit panels will both be returned for the entire county. Notice, we under- stand, has been served by the Crown solicitor, on seve- ral ot the paecnenaite be ready for their trials, under this special commission. ‘The persons who have so received notice are Messrs. O’Brien, Meagher, T.B. McManus, O'Donoghue, and Maurice Leyne. Mr. Duffy is not includedin the num- ber to be tried at Clonmel. The Jatest particulars re- garding the arrangements of counsel are stated to be, that it is certain Mr. Meagher will be defended by Mr. Butt, Q.C., and Sir Coleman O’Loghlen. Mr. Henn, Q. C., and Mr. Whiteside, Q. C., are both retained for the defence of Mr. Smith O’Brien. With reference to Mr. Henn, we believe that his services are claimed by the Attorney General for the Crown. d that J to last night it was not definitely settled whether he is to act on Mr. O'Brien's retainer, We should observe that it would be a piece of gross tyranny on the part of the Attorney General, Monaghan, to compel Mr. Henn to act for the Crown, inasmuch as Mr. O’Brien is a pretty near relative of Mr. Henn’s. Publie curiosity still ‘runs very high regarding the appearance of Lord John Russell at Clonmel, as wit- on behalf of Mr. Smith O’Brien. Only fancy the antling lord,’ seated on the table, subjected to the silky soundings of a Whiteside, or ihe overpowering interrogatories of a Butt; all the old machinery, of the reform bill agitation taken to pieces, and its uses dilated and commented upon, for the edification of the choice spirits of Clonmel; the threatened march of | three hundred thousand Birmingham men to London, | and “the Dukes’? quiet query of, “ Where would they get shoes? Lord John’s’ animated letter to Lord Melbourne, breathing sturdy and determined | aspirations for physical force aaer. on the part of “the people’—the “great unwashed,” a yearuing, in short for the practical carrying out of the “ brick- bat | and bindgeon” cf the then intensely whiggish times. | The question is asked, and asked with avidity, too, “Will Lord John go to Clonmel!” °*Tis, without a doubt, a most perilous locality for a Saxon Premier, | that bustling town in sweet Tipperary. Slievenamon lowers in sullen and majestic majesty not far away; and the men of the collieries or of Ballingarry, might | certainly take it into their uncivilized and peasant pates to meke # stoop, eagle fashion, and carry off the tcion of the house of Bedford to the hills, Certain it | is, that Mr. Potter, the Limerick sclicitor, has acted his | part well, in “serving” the Premier ; it will be for the latter to take heed that a subpana may not have the éfieet of introducing him to “a Potter's field to bury strangers in.” The latest intelligence from the counties of Kilken- | ny, Waterford, and Tipperary, is satisfactory, as re- gards the absence of rebellion. A special messenger, | whom we have sent to thore districts, writes us to say, | that Tipperary ie tranquil, At Carrick-on-Suir, the seat or centre of the late outbreak, there is at present not the least manifestation of further disturbance. The “ camps’ which were formed have been broken up, and every man has departed for his own home, with the exception of a desperate few, who are still wander- ing about the Cameragh mountains, in the county of | Waterford. Our reporters add, that although ail is quiet, for the present, it is their opinion that the dis- turbances which took place last week will be renewed again and again, during the winter, even should the loss of life amongst the people be much more serious than it bas been on this occasion. The inhabitants of the districts alluded to, are becoming every day more and more recklers, a8 the fear ot famine grows stronger. ‘The new agitation for a rotatory Parliament does not appear to make progress. Mr. Bernard Osborne, | M. P,, bas replied to the circular, declining to join the association, although not opposed to the object it has in view. A deputation waited on Lord Clarendon yesterday, to advocate the construction of a packet station at Limerick. Thefreports fcom the several di tricts, ax to the state of the weather and the progr of the harvests, are satisfactory. 8 reports respect- ing the potato disease are less discouraging. Com- mercial affairs at Belfast, Dublin, and k. are repre- rented as being very dull; the funds, at Dublin, were not lower. but, in general, very few transactions were _Tecorded therein.

The Foreign News by the Hermann. We are in receipt of five days’ later intelligence from Europe, by the arrival of the steamship Her- mann, at this port, last evening. Full decails will be found in to-day’s paper. f Ireland continues in the same state of quasi in- rurrection in which it was at previous dates. Camps of armed insurgexts are reported in various places—beacon lights are kindled on every hill- top—general dissatisfaction appears to prevail— the troops and constabulary are harrassed and an- noyed by rumors and reports—the English press are still endeavoring to make it appear that there 1sno apprehension of an extended outbreak of a political character; but, atthe same time, the mili tary are constantly on the alert—are foiled in every possible way, and general apprehension prevails. Whether the imsurgents reported in arms form the nucleus of a revolutionary army, worthy of the name—whether there 1s an “extended or. ganization or not, or whether the masses of that afflicted country really contemplate taking a stand in opposition to the govern- ment, and invoking the God of battles in vindica- tion of their character, and for the recovery of their political and social mghts or, not, we cannot learn from the conflicting and half concealed re- ports of facts before us. If the occurences that have recently taken place there, were de- veloped previous to the capture of O’Brien, Meagher, &c., &c., a short time since, we should say that a revolutionary movement had in reality commenced ; but we confess our disinclination to form an opinion of that kind at present, and will not do so, until further and less conflicting intelli gence ofa similar character to that just received shall be before us. Taking into considera- tion the topography of Ireland, and the habits of the people, a system of guerilla warfare, such as appears to be in operation there, would unquestionably be the best that could be adopted; and would ultimately lead to success, if the people had competent leaders, and were united among themselves, of which we have not any information worthy of being used as a basis for opinion, one way or the other. The news, however, 18 decidedly warlike in its character, and may be more important than the English journals are disposed to admit. The Italian question was unsettled at the de- parture of the Hermann; and the probability was, that 1t would not be disposed of pacifically. The belligerents were augmenting their forces, and otherwise preparing for another appeal to arms. France, too, was not idle. The army on the fron- tier was in the highest state of discipline, ready to take part in the struggle, and thereby commence a state of things that might lead to a general Eu ropean war, the end of which might not be Utntij the whole continent was saturated with blood. Late intelligence indicated the probability of a settlement of the difficulty between Denmark and Germany. From France we have no intelligence of 1m- portance, {urther than that Prince Louis Napoleon has been elected for Moselle. The English jour- nals represent the state of things in that country as rather gloomy; but we see nothing to justify such an opinion. Cavaignac may be obliged to lay down his authority ; but he being merely the Instrument of the National Assembly, it can be confided to other hands, in the event of such a contingency taking place, and consequences, of the character predicted, obviated. Cnrar Postace.—It is said the Postmaster has come to the determination to recommend to Con- gress, at its approaching session, the adoption of a uniform rate of two cents postage on all letters not weighing over half an ounce. Nothing that has hitherto occurred in the administration of the department has prepared us to expect such exces- sive liberality; but it is not improbable that, like all men of peculiarly odd mental constitution, Mr. Johnson gay, by a hop-step-and-jump process of ratiocination, have bounded to an extreme directly the reverse of that which has hitherto been his hobby. We shall rejoice if this recommendation be made, and if it be adopted. The experience o! the last eight years, 1n England, has proved the ad” vantage to the people, and the saving to the go- vernment, of a system of cheap postage. The ex- perience of the last three years in this country has shown that niggardliness is the worst policy that could be pursued in the management of the de- partment. It is not only in regard to the rates of postage this niggardlinegs has been exhibited by the head of the post office department. The large cities. and more especially the city of New York, which is the key-stone to the arch of the commercial system of the Union, is left without those fa- cilities for business and social communication enjoyed by all the great cities in every other civi- lized country m the world. The most ridiculous parsimony is displayed in* the business arrange- ments of the city post eflice. Citizens residing in the upper portion of the city are obliged to travel miles to mail a detter; and, in addition to the pos- tage from one office to another, they are compelled to pay the carrier two cents on every letter The department undertakes, for instance, to carry a Jetter from Washington to New York for five cents, and, in addition to this, for delivering it, 1f the person to whom it is addressed live but five minutes walk from the post office, there 18 an extra charge of two cents We have too frequently had occasion to notice the manifold mistakes, delays, miscarriages, and other annoyances to which business men, (and none oftener than ourselves,) have been subjected, during the present administration. We have com- plained until we altogether despaired of a remedy. We have even tied to coax Cave Johnson into judicious management We have often taken pains to praige him for any good he may have done, and wished, with the most genuine sincerity, that he had given flo more frequent opportunities to laud him. Many a piece of meanness that had come to our private ear, have we overlooked, hopmg ovr clemency might tend to his improve- ment. The rumor we mentioned at the eom- mencement of this article, may be trae. He may have repented. iis Heart may hav® grown soft and larger. Our gentle admonitions, administered from time to time, and the soft dews of our mercy, so ofter exercised m his behalf, may have pro- duced a salutary effect. If so, we shall rejoice. The country will rejoice. The business commu- nity especially will rejoice. But we have our doubts. Several months ago, a plan for the free delivery of letters, and for the improvement of the mail system in this city, was submitted to the Post~ master General, by a gentleman of much experi~ ence in post-office business, and who for several years has devoted himself to the study of the sub~ ject. This scheme, which struck at the root of the many evils of the present system, was in ef- fect as follows :— 1. The gentleman making the proposal would contract to deliver, free of charge, all mails, do- mestic and foreign, to their address 1n this city, three or four times a day in the business portions, and twice a day, or oftener, if requisite, in the up- per part. P 2. To deliver drop letters for one cent each, if Congress consent to reduce the postage to that rate. 3. To furnish, at his own expense, all boxes, pouches, wagons, and other articles necessary for the safe keeping and delivery of letters. 4. To establish several offices in different parts of the city, where letters intended for the mails may be deposited, and whence it should be the duty of the carriers to take them daily to the post- office, free of expense. aS 5. The persons employed by the contractor to ~ assist in opening and assorting the mails in the post-office, for the purpose of securing greater de- spatch in the delivery of letters. The conditions on which this contract would be undertaken are as follow : That the Post Office Department pay the con- tractor, annually, for ten years, an amount equal to - the loss it sustained in 1847 on dead letters return- ed from the New York Post Office, and for adver- tising the same; that 1s to say, about $8,000; and, in addition, should hand over to him the amount of postage received from drop letters, which, as before said, he would have reduced to one cent. [The amount received at the Post Office in this city, in 1847, for drop letters, was $897 58.) This plan, if practicable—and of its feasibility we are disposed to judge favorably, from the expe. rience and intelligence of the gentleman who would undertake the contract—would be most beneficial in its operation. Why has not the Post- master General given ita trial? Or, why does he not adopt some plan which may facilitate the busi- ness @orrespondence of this, the greatest and most important, and, to the general government, the most lucrative city in the Union ? We shall wait most anxiously, and record most cheerfully, any sign of improvement we may ob- serve in the views or policy of Cave Johnson. Meantime, we shall suffer, with as much patience as possible, the evils we at present groan under. We shall again try what mildness can effect. Tue Norruerner, Captain Budd, from Charles- ton, had an exceedingly rough and boisterous pas- sage, and on Tuesday evening, was forced by thick weather, after passing inside the Hook, to anchor, in the Horse Shoe. Continued gales from S8.S.E. to N. East, prevailed during the whole passage. Her dates from the Southern ports are, nevertheless, later than have been received by mail. The whole voyage was a trying one, and the passengers united in their approbation of the skilful seaman- ship of Capt. Budd, and tendered him their thanks, ina briet and well expressed letter, which was signed by allon board. Police Intelligence. Extensive Pobbery Discovered, and Recovery of Money.—It will,be recollected probably, by many of our readers, that on the 3d of May last, a package of bank bills, amounting to $1,803, was stolen from the ex- change office of Houghton & Co., No. 53 Wall street; and since that time, no positive clue respecting the thief, was discovered. until yesterday, when ex-co: stable Joseph, and officers Jeffrey and Wade, of the ‘10th ward police, succeeded in arresting a black woman by the name of Ann Simmons, and recovered $1,128 of the stolen money, under the following circum- stances :—-This Ann Simmons, is an old black woman -about 50 years of age, and at the time the money was stolen, she was employed by Mr. Houghton to clean and sweep the office, and otherwise keep it in order, in which capacity she had been for sometime. On the afternoon of the 3dof May, the clerk in the office, in taking up the packages of money for the night, the one above alluded to was accidentally pushed behind the drawer, and thus it escaped his observation, But not so with the old woman, for upon her seru- tinising eye being thrown about the drawers, she soon discovered the package of money; and as the temptation of se large an amount ef money ee itself, completely overcame her heretofore onest intentions, che seized the package of money and carried it off, secreting it away without touching a dollar for many days. The next morning, when Mr. Houghton @ to business, and the pac! of money overhauled, the one of $1,303 was found miss- ing. This circumstance created much surprise, par- ticularly as the clerk was almost confident that he placed that package among the others, as he was in the habit of doing all packages nightly, for safe keep- ing. The black woman at first was suspected, but upon questioning her on the subject she appeared to be so innocent and honestin ell her answers, that it was thought impossible the old woman could be guilty. A very unpleasant feeling was then experienced among the clerks, lest some ungenerous imputa- tion should be cast upon them, a3 the disappear- ance of the moncy was that of great mystery. A few weeks passed along, when the old woman raid to Mr. Houghton. that, as she was gettin, old, she thought she would give up ofiice cleaning, ani go and live in the country with her daughter. “Very well,’ said Mr. Houghton, “ Ann, you can leave when you please.” And Ann left accordingly. This passed on for several weeks, wren the facts and circumstances were related to Constable Joseph and Mr. Stewart, Clerk of Police, who immediately eet to work, aided by the two officers, Jeffrey and Wade. The re: the old woman was discovered, which was lo place called Uarlyille, on Long Island, four mil Brookly thort distance from the railroad on the side ct a hill, where Ann was livingin clover with a house full of new furniture, consisting of marbie top- ped centre tables, sofas, divans, handsome carpets, gi- randoles on the m piece, French bedsteads, ma- hogany chairs, and a handsome wardrobe, consisting of silk dresses, and all the other etceteras to — Next door to ber dwelling house was a neat little coun- try store, which the old woman had paid $67 for building. ‘This she had stocked with dry goods, and fancy articles—threads, tapes, &c., possibly worth be- tween twoand three hundred dollars. Upon the officers’ scrutinizing the old woman’s premises, they felt satis- fied that rhe had more money at her command than the had come honestly by. On this suapicion, they kept a strong watch on all the old woman’s movements for several weeks, and yesterday was the day set down for the purpose of making a descent on the old woman's domicil, in order, if possible, to turn up the stolen money, The matter was then laid before Jus- tice Timpson, who gave the officers the necessary in- structions, and granted his warrant, at the same time, for the arrest of the old woman, The officers, in the afternoon, started for the old woman's residence, and arrived just in time, as she was dressed, and about leaving the house, for New York, She was then taken into custody, and the officers proceeded immediat to search the house for the stolen money. A! Mssoking bureens and trunks without succ came to the fire place, which was fille. with wood. was speedily removed, when lo! to their utter sure prise, they found a package of bank bills, with silver and gold, amounting to $1,128, In this package were near $1,000 in bank bills of $50 and $20, and all iden- tified by Mr. Houghto: the money stolen from hig office, the balance, $6' been evidently apent by the old woman in purchasing furniture; the house and lot she lives in she has purchased, and likewjse the little store next door, all of which, no doubt, she paid for with the stolen money. She has been acting with a great deal of cunning throughout, as she only used the smaller notes, such as $ ‘a, 6's, and 10's; the $50's she was afraid to offer for fear of detection. The money, until within the last few days, she had concealed in the woods between some rocks ; and from the length of time since the robbery, lulled all suspi- cion, as she thought, of herown guilt. She thought she would bring the money into the house, and searce- ly had it been in the house a week before the officers pounced in upon her, made her a prisoner, and re- covered the money, ‘From the appearance of the house, the old woman, her daught \d grand chil- dren were evidently living in clover, as the officers ob- served shillings. sixpenny pieces, and quarter dollars lying over the house indiscriminately, showing that money wes plenty, and that a few dollars more or less was of “no consequence,” At the time this robbery was announced some of the chief's vigilant cieers were on the alert for the thief, as @ reward of $500 was offered for the recovery of the money, and the arrest of the thief, but without succers, as it eventually turned out. Justice Timpron committed the old black woman to the tombs for trial, and from the tombe, possibly, the foolish old woman will terminate her existence in the State pri- on, Much eredit is due to all concerned in this arrest. as the job has boen done up ina complete manner, $500, we understand, will be awarded them for their services. Charge Dismissed.—A. few days ago we noticed the arrertcf Frederick A, Heath, keeper of an emigrant boarding house, at No, 106 Greenwich street, on a charge of committing an indecent assault ona woman by the name of Margaret Blake. This oase was inves tigated yesterday before Justice Timpson, when no evidence was chown before the magistrate to substan- tidte the acctcation; therefore, the magistrate at once disinissed the cave.
