Fowxen, Faq., Postmaster, New York:— Sm—In submitting my views im régard to a proposed sefenm in the prosent aystem of the United States City Office, 1 beg to offer some brief inary remarks, ting out the causes of the nt management whieh hag hitherto prevailed in that department, as well in tes peivers or City Despatch Post Oitices. first cause is the want of a mode of collec- ; and, of detecting any dere of duty on the collectors of letters, I am convi that, in out of ten, the fault ean be brought home +4 s ae they are, at which ane ppc m4 ue, your predecessor caused & in —— ‘ihe city was divided inte Post Office their lettera, and who, consequently, t to your own office in less time , hed a va ad of its baie eg 1 , therefore, reapectfully 5 mn. That the list of boxes “should. be printed al. by the streets, commencing, , komt ath Albany street, Broadway, No. 1 Washing. ten Hotel, No. 21 Delmomico’s, and £0’ on to the end of treet, so that a mere child could discover at a the nearest location, and without much know. ty i neral, Mee he Bey ry the propriety of establishing a tem Palace, i porary sub-post office in the Cryst. case it should ve impracticable to obtain there for receiving and distributing, suc! ‘de procured about the vicinity of the Sixth avenue sea voruban street. Further, let boxes be placed at each ‘entrance of the Crystal Palace, having the collections made every two hours, taken to the Post Office, and for- warded on being sorted, $d. Obtain the privilege of placing boxes in the cars of each of the city railroads in the Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth, and Kighth aventes, in addition ‘to the ‘principal hotels and strects, and on steamboats ruaning to Staten Island, and other adjacent places, as well as on the ferry Doats to Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Jersey Gity, Hoboken, &c., the collection to be made on their arrival. 4ih. Every letter box throughout the city should be aumbered;-and the collector be required to record the ‘ne of each collection, and the number of letiers taken ‘om each box; and I think the time should be at least as eften as every two hours, commencing early in the morn- ie. This would not only make the collectors punctual, it enable the department to ascertain the value of each -00Mation and district, with the view to any further regu- |. muation that might be deemed advisable. sut Sth, Wherever there is a box, the occupant of the ® place should be induced to keep post-oflice stamps. I woald respectfully suggest the propriety of allowing 104 stamps for a dollar, or four per cent., which would be ite sufficient to bring them into universal use; and e seeming ora would, in realityg prove » large gain, for it is pretty certain that not more than ninety per cent would return to the Post (ffice to be cancelled; and ay this system would always secure prepayment, it ‘would obviate the outlay of capital. In the course of a short time, I have no doubt, the business would become wo exterisive as to pay, and well pay, for sevoral sub-post- offices at various points of the city, where, for the more immediate delivery to the public, the stamps might be cancelled, ag well as at the principal office, th. In'the year 1841 I made a communication to the Postmaster-General, (Hon. C. A. Wicklifle,) which was recommended by Mayor Morris, by all the Common Council, except two, and by numerous merchants, “ that every postman or collector of letters should wear seme official badge, such as U.S. Mail, by which he ht readily be recognized, if not, indeed, as in London Paris, be provided with a small bell, to give notice of his passing.” It is found in those cities that a vast umber of letters are collected by these means, from domestics especially, that might not otherwise have been written. Itmay, mdeed, be safely assumed as.an extab- lished principle, that every facility given to tho public in conveying and receiving letters is a continually aug- menting source of revenue to the Post Office Department, and I'am assured that the facilities which I have had the pleasure to suggest for your consideration would be productive of a very remarkable increase of revenue within a short period. T would furtier suggest that letter boxes be placed in the Crystal Palace, without a day’sdelay, especially as the ion and delivery of the letters ‘would involve little or no additional expense, whille the receipts during the exhibition would be very considerable, Inconelusion, I take the liberty to express an assured ‘and positive opinion, that unless thia-be done by your- self, it will immediately become au object of private enterprise.

About two o’clock yesterday afternoon, Alexan- der Leet was murdered in the sailor's boarding house of Jack Butcher, No. 302 North street, by James Hawkins. We have learned the fo!lowing history of the affair from Capt. William 3. Tarleton, ot the Harbor Poti-e, and from some other sonrees:— The deceased was second mate of the new clipper ship John E. Thayer, now fitting for sea. He left the vessel at Constitution wharf, or s wharf aijvin- ing, about one o'clock, and went to his boarding house, at Butcher's, to get his dinner. ‘I'he diniag- room was in the back part of the houss, looking out toa small yard, where chairs and seats were pro- vided for accommodation of customers of the house. To reach the dining-room from the sitting room, it is necessary to go through two doors, passing an entry. At the dining-table, among other persons. were James Hawkins, generally known by the nam: of Darby Keliey, and wis,companion, James Hicks. ene parties, who are what ore callea among “ Liverpool liners,” came on fcom New York three or four days ._ It seems that on tie recent trip of the ship 1 Webster, to Liverpool, Hawkins was driven fcom the vessel by the captain and first mate, who did nos like his reputation.

The man who was washing Leet did not seo the blow inflicted, as his back was towards Hawkins; at the time, but he saw himas he passed by. A girl, em- ployed about the houce, saw she blow given.

As proof of my declaration, he was put upon the stand and called udon to explain the eth- nelogical distinction of races. Ho was asked to point out the characteristics of the Indian and ne- gro, which he did very minutely and fully, and.in a Iaanner to bring conviction to the whole assambled crowd. He exhibited a cast of an Indian skuli—an | aboriginal—said to be from one in the Academy of | 8cience in Philadelphia, from a mound in Ohio. He | explained all ite characteristics, and then called up the old chiof and interpreter, and showed the iden- tity with their heads. He then com; it and their heads with that of Lucy, and lished them | all as of the same type. He then handled a negro skull, and demonstrated clearly the peculiarities, and showed by comparison difference between them. He explained the anatomical strac- , and gave an ex- i the distinction in the hair of the Oaucasian, Indian, and negro races. & very curious fa-t, ag resultiog from microscopical obgervation, that in the mulatto cross the heir of one or the other parent was prerent, and sometimes hairs of both, but never & mongrel hair; thatno amalgamated hair existed; that a3 often the mulatto ha “taker hair as kuky.

On his recovery, when his hair grew out, it was negro bair—crisped and wiry. ‘These are very curious facts, and of much impor- tance in the distinction of races. The counsel of the plaintiff proposed and insisted on Dr. Gibbes to give the facts as to the hair of grades of blood; but he said he had not examined by the microscope any but the half breeds. It is to be hoped that full investigation will be made of this subject, and the fasts published. On the whole, the evidence set forth by Doctor Gibbes was extremely interesting, and devoloped some facts I never heard of before. There hasbeen but one opinion expressed in relation to it.

The Pension Laws of the United States—Treatica with the Indians—Colonization, Civilization and Isolation from the Whites—No Defaulting Postmaster in the Uni The leonsed | of thé Treasury's on the Tariff. I am inclined to think that the report of the Secretary of the Interior will contain some vw impertant recem- mendatlons in re; to the pension laws of the United States. Under the law, as it now exists, the gare frauds are perpetrated on the government, while the latter itself appears often to act very unequally in regard toclaimants, Thus, under the present law, a seaman, & marine and a soldier, all equally disabled, would receive unequal pensions. The seaman would receive three a yer month; the wi eight dollars per month. Such law is evidently unjust, and ought to be amended. A very remarkable fact in regard to these pensions is that there never appears to be any diminution in the disability for which iho pension is granted, With two ‘and only two honorable exceptions, no pensioner got well during the last fiseal year, and no disability diminished. The Secretary very properly thinks that the pension ought to be reduced as the patient improves, and to ceare allogether whet the patient is entirely recovered, Fourfeen treaties have been nade with dilierent Indian tribes luring the past fiseal year, the largest number ever concivded during an equal period of time. The entire abolition of cash payments will, in all probability, be again recommended, and provisions and clothing substituted for them. This is the only means of preve ing the Indians from being cheated, and poisoned with xvum, The appropriations made late during the last ses- sion, will probably be sufficient; but an appropriation will he demanded for colonizing and civilizing the Indians. ‘The colonization of the Indians in California, as tar as ttied, has been rather successful. If colonization and civilization fail, the desteuction of the race seems ine vitable. It is the huvter tribes of Indians who commit all the depredations, and harrass the emigrants to Cali- fornia and Orogon; but these are exactly the tribes with which we have no treaties, and who steal or murder for the want of food.” The kind-hearted and able Secretary of the Interior will, probably, be pted to reconimend kindness to the Indians, instead of chastisement. Kindness has al ready done wonders with several tribes, and: thero is no reason why it should not be successful with others ‘The Indians of New Mexico, Utah, Oregon and Washing ton Territories, aul those east of ‘the Rocky Mountai ought to be domesticated and isolated from the wh arts are to.be introduced, and a settled form of gove ment ought (o be established among them, For t purpose, however, larg It is remarkable fact, that out of the 23,000 post offices in the United States, none has been a defaulter, either during the last or preceding fiscal year.

Tumpay, Nov, 21—6 P.M The stock market touched a lower depth this morning. There were very few buyere in the street, and prices steadily fell off from the opening to the close. At the first board Virginia sixes declined { per cent; Panama Railroad bonds, 1; Iinois Central bonds, 44; N.Y. Cen tra! bonds, 5; Chicago and R. Island bonds, 14; Canton Company, 3; Nicaragua Transit, },; Camberland Cval,- 34; N. Y. Central Railroad, 1; Cleveland and Toledo, 1; Frie Railroad, 1; Reading, 1; Hudson Railroad, 3. There were transactions seller's option, as well.as buyer’s option, but we notice a great diflerence in prices, In Erie, buyer's option sixty days, was one per cent above prites for cash. Under existing circumstances this dif- ference is quite moderate, Buyer's option enables out- siders to take advantage of the low prices ruling in the market, without any outlay of capital, and in these times such a privilege is worth something, As no one submits to the present enormous sacrifice in realizing on stocks unless compelled to by the want of im- mediate means, the inference is that the sales on time, buyer’s and seller's option, are made by the bears, in anticipation of a further decline, It is the buyer on his own option that has the full benefit of the present depression in prices, and if be takes rope enough he may make a good profit, It strikes us that the seller on time, buyer’s option, at current prices, rans too much risk for the profit he can by any possibility make under the most fayorable circumstances, but there are enough willing to take this risk to heep the market pretty active. The seller on time, his own option, can take ad- vantage of the first unfavorable turn and cloze up; but as'the buyer, seller's option, must be prepared at any moment to fake the stock purchased, it i# about the same as a cash transaction, ond is usually made at about the cash price. There is very little doubt but thatthe public mind is in a state of needless alarm and, apprehension, That there is plenty of cause for care, caution and con traction, no one for a moment can deny; but we do net believe in this wholesale ruin and destruction. We do not believe that the whole country is going to be anni. iilated, and are therefore disposed to look a little distance ahead, and make some calculations for the future. The world bas beeu in existence some time, and we do not Lelieve in its destruction quite yet. We hope the farmers will not be deterred from waking their preparations for «the cultivation of a large breadth of ground next year, because a few <hinplaster | , banks at the West have exploded, Industry, prudence and economy will work us all out of trouble, and pay | allour debts; ond as itis @ prominent characteristic of our people to bend’ philosophically to circumstances, | | we have ne fears but that present embarrassments will appropriations will be required. | the surest means of diminishing the deficit between the | revenne and the expenditures of the Department.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. “The sliding seale of duty on guano,” noticed in your paper of Tuesday, will not probably affect the trade in that article, or increase or diminish the receipts in the public treasury. The action of tho select committee of the Lionse at the last session was based on the erroneous idea that ammonia, which constitutes a large part of the Peruvian gbano, was a yaluable manure, aud that the ey em ag were the role or principal «tepozitory of guano. Facts, at that time known toa few, but since universally’ known, show ammonia is a corrosive oison to both animal and vegetable life, and that the Chincha Islands being in the rainless districts, their de- posits of guano must of necessity retain the poisonous ammonia to the extent of one-half the Seed weight, thus doubling the cost of transportation for an article that is certain to poison, corrode and destroy all vegeta- tion with which it comes in contact. Phosphate of lime, which constitutes less than twenty-four per cent of Peruvian guano, is the only valuable manuze contained in it, and the few cases where crops are supposed to have received benefit from it, are where the puisonous Tass was placed a distance from the seeds or plants, or where it was spread on the land before the seeds wore planted, so that the rain and disintegrating properties of the atmosphere could carry off the ammonia before the seeds or roots could occupy the infected locality.

J. M. RAY, Cahier. In reference to the above statement, the Cinginnaté Gasetie of the 20th inst. says:— This exhibit will effectually set at reat the vue rumors that have been circulated with reference to one or two of the branches. We have stated on one or two occasions that the beading Western banks, having con~ tracted their business, are now condition muck stronger thin usual; and that t ireulation of the d Indiana, and the Kentucky banks, is, in the agg or seven millions below an average, We nre assured that the Kentucky banks have withdrawn over tour million dollars, The eireula tion of the State Benk of Indiana has decreased $887,919. ‘The circulation of the State Bank of Ohio has probably dccreased fully a6 much. This makes over six snillionw in the three States. ‘This paper was forced out of eireu- lation by the illegitimate traxh with which the country las been flooded. Sound and substantial banks woul not—could not, without sacrificing their best interesta— compete with such a currency. ‘There is, therefore, » large cifeulation of good bank paper—safe beyond quew- tion, and strictly legitimate—that will be put out as soon as circumstances wall render an expansion prudent. It will be seen that while the circulation of the State Pank of Indiana decreased $887,919, the specie haw decreased only $290,536, and that the amount of coim on band is equal to over forty per cent of the entire cir- culation; also, that the coin on hand and the mea Fastern and other banks, is $4,204,000, ta cireu~ Jation of $2,808,000, Another evidence of contraction ia the large decrease in the notes and bills discounted, as shown by the following dgur. 5 Decrease of notes discounted.
