FURTHER POSTAL REGULATIONS—THE MAILS FOR BRAZIL, THE EAST INDIES, AUSTRALIA, ETC.—RE- DUCTION IN POSTAGE—THE PRUSSIAN CLOSED MAIL IMPROPERLY ATTENDED TO—THE PENSION LAWS, ETC. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. ‘Wasmworoy, April 20—8 P. M, learn that the Post Office Department: intends to give immediate notice that hereafter the single rate of letter postage, between the United States and Brasil, vis Eng- land, will be forty-five cents, instead of eighty-seven cents, as heretofore—pre- payment required, Also, that a direet communication by British mail pack- ets running once in two weeks between Singapore and Ba- tavia, having been established in connection with the over- land mails to India and Australia, all letters, newspapers, &e., addressed to Java, or to any of the Dutch possessions in India, will in future be forwarded by these packets, unless speeially direeted to be sent by other conveyance. The regular mails for Java are to be made up in London for transmission, via Marseliles, on the 8th of each of the months of January, March, May, July, September and November, But letters and newspapers may also be sent, if so addressed, by the route of Southampton, on the 4th of each of the months above mentioned. The rate of postage to Java, to be prepaid, on letters nent from and collected on letters received in the United States is sixty- five cents per letter of less than a quarter of an ounce in weight, via Marseilles, and forty-five cents per letter weighing less than half an ounce, via Southampton. ‘The change in rate and reduetion of postage on letters to Brazil is in accordance with a postal agreement be- tween the British government aud Brazil, recently con- cluded. The chiet director of Prussian posts, Mr. Waldeyer, has addressed the United States Post Office Department, that the letters forwarded from New York and Boston by the closed mails for Prussia, frequently reach Cologne with seals injured and the envelopes torn off; and money, which is often enclosed in the letters, is found in the offices there, escaped from the letters. A request is made that proper direction be given to the postmasters here that all letters for Germany be sealed up officially in a sufficient and durable manner, and similar proceedings are to be observed alsoin Prussia. The matter will of course receive the prompt attention of the department. A statement appeared in the Republic, with: reference tea contested case in the Pension Office; affecting the construction heretofore placed upon the law granting pensions to widows and children of deceased soldiers. The matter was not at all correctly stated, and, as it is one of importance, I give the following as the faets :—Tho law in question provides that in case of the death of the widow of a soldier, then the pension shall revert to. the deseased soldier's children, There tho law stops ; but Secretary Thomas Ewing decided that, although the act of Congress goes no further than to the children, the com mon law steps in and carries the pension to any other heirs, This decision has governed the matter since. Governor McClelland, the present Secretary of the inte- rior, has, however, decided that this eonstruction of the law is wrong. If the Pension law had passed previous to the enlistment and service of the soldier then it would have formed a part of his emolument for service, and as such would come under the provision of the common law, like any other property, to the extent even of being liable for his debts. But it was a law passed after the service had expired, and formed.no part of the contract for service, The pension is simply a gratuity given by Congress after the government had fulfilled all its agreement and duty towards the soldiers, and as such can only be used to the extent the terms of the act au- thorize, and no further. This cuts off a large number of claimants, but the decision is manifestly in accordance with law. Tho appointments for this District, notwithstanding the many rumors, have not yet been taken up for considera. tion, nor is it probable they will be decided upon for se- veral weeks. Xx.

Wastixcto, April 20, 1858. ‘Twenty-six clerks were removed from the Sixth Audi- tor’s office to-day, and their places immediately filled by the restoration of former incumbents.

After hearing the evidence on the part of the libellant, the court adjourned to mect in Paterson and finish the case, on the 20th instant. Reported Massacre on Board the Whaling Brig Inga. Bostox, April 20, 1853, The New Bedford Mercury publishes a statement, to the cffect that the whaling brig Inga, of New Bedford, had been cut off by the natives of Pleasant Island, and her crew massacred. The story is obscure, and not credited by the Mercury. It is, however, certain that there had been trouble on board the Inga, but it is not so certain that the trouble arore from the natives. One story, brought by the ship D. Gosnold to Hong Kong, was that the natives came on board, under pretence of trading, and attacked and mur- dered the captain and all the crew but one. The other story is that the natives plundered the vessel, but it does not say that the crew were murdered—in fact, the narrator says that he saw twoof the crew on shore among the natives, Venerable Catholic Priest Dead, &.

The lower part was occupied as a car- penter’s shop, and the upper part asa dwelling honse. Immediately after the alarm several fire companies were onthe ground; but before they could put any water on the fire, the entire building was enveloped in a'mass of flames, The fire then communicated with an adjoining building, belonging to Mr. Bingham, and ocoupied as & feed store, which was entirely consumed. fis siock of Joey and straw was partially saved by tho exertions of the police and fire department.

From the time of his sentence on Saturday until yesterday, he refused to eat and drink, and had reduced himself to'a very feeble condition by his course of abstinence. It was also found that he had placed tobacco in his armpits and slept with it in that orition. It ix said that tobacco placed in those parts for a long time has w very prostrating effect. Yesterday the condemned man yielded to the cravings of hungor, and partook of some food that was offered him. He cat sparingly, however, as though he had not relinquished his determination to destroy himslf, It is not probable that Spring will sueceed in his attempt at self-destruc tion; he ts too great a coward to withstand the tempta- tion to eat while suffering the terrors of inanition, and there is not much probability that he would resort to more violent means to accomplish his purpose.

A letter was received in Tampico from Santa ‘Anna, who specifies his wishes in relation to the political course which should be pursued. He recommends the preser- vation.of order. He requires that the inhabitants of the State should have an unlimited confidence in his motives for the good of the nation; that they should unite to rave the country; and that no conjectures be made about him In relation to the system which should be adopted. ‘He ends by recommending that they should watch. and pursue the traitor Carvajal.

The rosult remains’ to be seen. I must give you an outline of the grand ball given on the occasion. ‘The salocn in which it took place is very spacious, about 100 feet in length by 45 in breadth. Most tastefully fitted up, at the head of the room, on an elevated platform of sowe ten feet high, was seated the band of musicians, and on the facade of the platform the Mexican eagle perched on the nopal, (or cactus,) and un- der it s portrait of Santa Anna, with the national fiag on euch side, and tho arms of the Ttate of Tamaulipas. All this arrangement was tastefully done. The room was filled with ail the beauty and fashion of Tampico, which is imposing, and calculated to impress a stranger very favorably for so smulia place; and the good order was in keeping with tho scene. ‘The floor of the ball room was covered with a scarlet carpet, and also the entrance, and ornamented with spangles, whlist the Mexican Seno: riats, with that grace peculiar to the Spanish and Mexi- can ladier, whirled in the giddy waltz, the polka, quad- rilles, &e ; with all that ease and elegance for which thes are famed. At one o'clock supper was announced, and the band struck up a march until all the ladies were seated at a most sumptuous table. The supper room was ornament ed with national tlegs in festoons around the room, and tricolored streamers from the corners and centre of the room were attached to the great chandolier which was suspended over the centre of the supper table. I noticed that all tho persons of distinction of this Jace were present—-the Commanding General and the Saptuin of the Port, both of whom are fine looking officers; also, the American, English, French and Prassian Consuls, and others, with sll the foreign merchants of note residing at ‘Tempico. At the supper table many fine toasts were given, most of which were, in sentiment, quite patriotic, and it seem: ed as if the principal toast master had just returned from Parnassus; his cup and head were full of poetic fire, all coming from the fountain head, Some good couplets. complimentary to Santa Anna, were given, Then came the fair senoritas of Tampico, who were compared to the stars, and to youth's season in the spring-time of life. ‘The band then played Santa Anna’s march; loud and lon, vivas were given for his return, and wishes expre that he might live a thousand years—‘Santa Anna viva mil anos,” All passed on with perfect order until 4A. M., when the head officers retired—the band playing a grand inerch.
