The steamer China, of the Cunard line, which brought them, made the passage from Queenstown to Boston in seven days and twenty-two hours. This is the shortest time ever made between those ports, and probably the quickest ever made from land to land. DeaTH OF A PaurER.—Annie Barr, twenty-seven years of age and a native of New Jersey, admitted to Bellevue Hospital on Thursday from the Work- house, Blackwell's Island, died on Thursday evening.

DeaTa IN SECOND STREET—CORRECTION.—Dr. Schoen, of Third street, states that he was not called to attend Mrs. Silberstein, the lady whose death oc- curred under peculiar circumstances in Second street on Thursday, when she became ill, as reported im yesterday’s city papers, but that proceeding to the house when summoned by Mrs. Silberstein’s hus- band he was met on the way by Mrs. Boche, the mid- wife, who informed him that Mrs. Silberstein was already dead. He then went to the house and per- formed the service of accoucheur, after which he notified the Board of Health to bring the maiter be- fore the Coroner. Tue Custom Hovse.—There was quite a number of appicants in the ante-chamber of the Collector’s rooms yesterday. To hear what they sald would make quite a story. One would say, for instance, that the Collector was an old fogy; another would complain that soldiers did not receive such mi tion as they expected at the hands of the party. Mr. Grinnell said that he was determined to clear out the Augean stables, that he has made a number of ointments, but that they will not be known until Monday, by which time the several wee made by him will have been returned from Wash- ington. INTERNAL REVENVE.—The receatly appointed col- lectors and assessors of internal revenue for this city have made no changes in their offices so far. ‘The only change of any consequence was that of the cashier in Collector Bailey’s office. All the other om- cials of the government in New York city are await. ing the completion of the work of assessing and taxing the property of citizens before making any serious alterations. After that we may expect a general overhauling of the various ofices in the in- ternal revenue service. For the present the clerks will be left undisturbed and be allowed to earn their salaries until their work is completed.

BURGLARY IN LUDLOW STREET.—Louis Stemper was taken before Justice Mansfield yesterday, at Essex Market Police Court, charged with burgla- riously entering the premises of Charles Herman, of No, 95 Ludlow street. Mr. Herman keeps a cigar store at the above place, and he states that the pris- oner, Stemper, fermerly owned the premises, and when they changed hands Stemper kept a set of keys without Mr. Herman's knowledge.

EMPLOYMENT AGENTS IN TROUBLE.—Sergeant Pot- ter and officer Hodgson brought into Essex Market Police Court yesterday two men, named Henry Clay Kallmeyer and Henry Cohen, against whom a charge of fraudulently obtaining money was preferred. It appears that these men keep what they eall an “employment office” at No. 189 Grand street, and that they have been advertising largely, offering employment to persons out of work. Applicants are made to pay a certain sum of money and are then placed upon a list until such time as situations can be found for them, Charlies Pless, of No, 25 Market street, visited the oflice and paid a dollar and a hail, but was not provided with apy situation, and was from time to time put off by the prisoners with some trivial pretext. Pless and two or three other of the victims visited the Mayor’s office and the Mayor’s Marshal made the prisoners return the money taken from them, and after it had been sent the papers and the victims to Justice Mansfield. Three affidavits were taken against the prisoners, and Justice Mansfield heid them for examination, THE POST OFFICE, The Work of Decapitation Not Yet Begun— Postmaster Jones Not in a Hurry—Number ef Office-Seekers—The Present Employees= Hard Work and Poor Pay. Postmaster Jones, the new appointee to the New York Post Office, states that there have been no dis- missals of employés in the Post Office thus far. He announces it as his intention to thoroaghly familiar- ize himself with the routine of nis department and the capacity of his subordinates before making any removals or appointments. There are @ present about five hundred applicants for places within his gift, and this number will undoubtedly be largely increased before the ena of next week by the acces- sion of many disappointed applicants for offices in the Custom House. These seekers after the un- attainable, who have pursued the ignis satuus of an easy place and a large salary up the steps of the Custom House and through its corridors to the inner sanctum of Mr. Grinnell, only to be shown the cold shoulder by that gentleman, are now beginning to sendin their “pasteboard” to Postmaster Jones, and a few may aiready be seen hover- mm about the Post Office with doubt and anxiety depicted on their expressive countenances, ‘The first applicants for places im te Post Ortice, too lowly minged to fly at such high game as appoint ments under Mr. Grinnell, where the duties are com- eres light and tne pay heavy, will not improba- ly receive an éariler consideration from the Post- master than their rivals, the disappointed aspirants for Custom House bonors, When we grand rush of these victims of misplaced contidence in the Coliec- tor comes, as it is sure to do pretty shortly, a roll of their distinguished names and those of the earlier ap- plicants will probably be made out, and from this list tue new appointees will be selected if there are to be any. Meanwhile the Postmaster is the recipient of a suower of polite attentions. Congratulations and earnest inquiries alter his health pour in upon him, and he finds himse.f the all-absorbing object of in- terest to hundreds of persons whom he never saw or heard of before, and of whose ¢xistence, perhaps, he is only made aware by the recommendation of union republican organizations. The General says he 1s ‘used to tus sort of taing, however, and does not con- sider himseif distinguished by courtesies which are the sure forerunners of requests for something which he either can or cannot bestow. ‘There are three or four names which have received the reytiar indorsement of the Union repudlican as- sociations of this city, which will probably figure in the list of appointees, Otuers have been sent in by the German Kepublican Union, under the recom- mendation of Dr. Schuetz, its secretary. Several ward republican associations have recommended men, and many private individua's, in and out of the city, have put forward their owh and their friends’ claus. Reticence tn regard to his intentions seems be the marked characteristic of the new Postmaster; this trait he may have caught froin his distinguished leader, Generai Grant. None of the names o' appli- cants have yet transpired, although, of course, many have been sentin. Perhaps, when the list is made out, the public may be afforded a view of the muster roll. There have been a few resignations in the Post Office, but it is impossible to ascertain the names of those who have resigned or those who have been sppoinsed In their stead. place in the Post Ofiice is by no means a bed of Toses; the Work is very severe aud the average salary paid to cierks is only about $000 a year. ‘This smail remuneration 18, however, a suiticient inducement to needy office-seekers, who are only too giad to take what they pie A great many, nevertne- less, labor under the delusion that there 1s little to do and much to receive there. ‘The clerks number about 450 and the carriers 303.

In the meantime the axe is rapidly falling in the Custom House, and hungry office-seek+ ers turn chagrined from the Collector's portals to hasten away and joi the noble army of place hunt- ers, which is already beginning to lay siege to the Post Office, What is to become of these unfortue hates, should they not be supplied with berths, or what the effect of the gail and wormwood of a sec- ond tion it 19 painful to conjecture.

Whether he will or not, it cannot be denied thatthe man of to-day does smoke with Ro little gusto, and shows no signs of leaving off the Practice, in spite of the teachings of George Trask and Dr, Griscom. Three hundred years ago tobacco ‘Was first introduced into Europe, and now more than Uhree-quarters of the human race are acquainted with its use. Then there were millions in Asta who chewed the betel nut and smaked and chewed opium, while a few nomadic tribes of wandering savages in America used tobacco. Now tobacco is the universal narcotic the world over, and even in the East, where other and dangerous stimulating substances have been used from an unknown anti- quity, 1t is fast displacing all ite rivals. “Will the coming man smoke?” We do not know what will stop him. Royal edicts, priestly anathemas, the es- says and hortutary appeals of reformers, have all been tried to prevent it and convince the pubitc that tobacco was a deadly poison, but invain. Medical men are about equally divided as Lo whether tobacco 4g injurious to persons in good health, and until the public really believe this to be the case people will ‘wee it. Recently the current of popular and scien- tifle opinion has turned strongly in favor of the use of tobacco; the views of the so-called reformers are looked upon as not being sustained by the expert- ence of mankind, and we find that men live just a8 Jong and preserve their faculties to a good old age, 1m spite of their constant devotion to the quid or the pipe. WILL THE COMING WOMAN SMOKE? Amore proper question would seem wo be, “Will the coming woman smoke?” ‘The Cuban ladies are said to be great lovers of the weed, and if the “Queen of the Antilles” ever becomes one of the United States who knows but the ladies of that isle will make the practice fashionable among us? Nothing would seem to be more probable. Smoking is already one of the luxuries which mapy of our American women love to indulge in, espe- clally in the Southern States, and the practice 1s not entirely unknown to tnem in this city; and it would not be inconsistent if the “coming woman,” aspir- ing after all the social and political rights of the other sex, should mclude the use of the weed us one of the privileges which she proposes to assume, SMOKING IN NEW YORK ClTY, If any person thinks that the “coming man” will not use tobacco we certainly do not know what com- forting assurances he will derive from the authentic statistics of its production. Upon very good auchor- ity we learn that the tobacco grown {n tne year 1855 in Asia amounted to 399,000,000 pounds, In Lurope to 281,844,600, in America 248,280,500, im Africa 24,300,000 and in Australia 714,000 pounds, making @ total of 954,159,000 pounds, and to ratse all this at the average yield would take about 2,000,000 acres or 3,125 square miles. Perhaps it would be more pertinent to ask how isthe ‘coming man” going to put a stop to ity Here in this city we have 768 cigar shops, doing a good business, selling at an average 100,000 cigars a day, vesides what are sold in saloons, hotels and eating houses. Broadway has 78 of these stores, which sell on an average 20,000 cigars a day. Most of these are fliteen cent ones. Those which are sold for ten cents may be good, bat now it is an even chance whetuer a ten cent cigar is ade of anything but Connecticut seed leaf tovacco, no matter what Spanish label may be on the box; and it ts almost absolutely certain that a cigar which sells for less than ten cents 18 not fit to use. The prices of cigars vary from five to fifty cents apiece, and some are sold fora higher sum. Proba- bly, they average about thirteen cents cach, and reckoning an average of 75,000,000 cigars per annum used in this city, that would make $9,750,000 expend- ed for this one luxury; and tf we add what is spent for smoking tobacvo, which is estimated at at least $750,000 more, that would make $10,500,000—a sum eer one half the annual taxes of this city. Our go- called Havana cigars are supposed to be filled with pure Cuban tobacco, but this is far from being the case. With the exception of the highest priced ci- gars there is usually a considerablg quantity of the Connecticut seed leaf, which is uséd for wrap} mixed in with the better qualities of tpbacco, an can be easily detected by the practised sihoker. The only way to be sure of getting a tirat rate cigar is to pay liberally for it, CONNECTICUT SEBD LEAP. psf the last twenty years the farmers in the valley of the Connecticut river have made the pro- duction of tobacco laity, and, with the excep- tion of the Perique co grown in a few parishes in Lous' is the highest priced tovacco raised in the United States. Twenty-five years ago the farmers were selling their tobacco for five and six cents a pound; — little pains were taken to produce a first class articie, nor was there any sorting of the dit- ferent qualities of the leaves. But recently the great demand for wrappers of a fine quality has advanced the price, until the crop is now sold for what would once be considered a fabulous sum, and during the last season some of the farmers realized as high as fifty or sixty cents a pound for their best lots. This is not the resuit of accident or speculation, but be- cause the tobacco growers have dispiuyed more than ordinary care and sntell ce in producing it. They make a liberal use of fertilizers and manures, and take the utmost pains to presctve the plants from being destroyea by worms or injured in hand- ling, No mother with her first baby is more parti- cular of tts health and nourishment than some of these farmers with their tt crop, and the prices which they have obtained during the last ten years show that this labor is capital well invested. It has advanced the price from thirteen cents a pound in 1860 to flity cents in 1869, and there is no reason why it should not gradually increase to bea dollar a pound in half adozen years. It should be added that these prices were obtained by the farmers be- fore the crop had undergone the usual sweating pro- cess, Which materially enhances its value and lessens its weight, The region which 1s adapted to growing this kind of tobacco is very limfted; it consists of a strip of land on both sides of the Connecticut river, from Middletown to Northampton. The goil is up- land, and a light sandy loam, which requires con- siderable manuring, for tobacco is an exhausting crop and requires tne richest ground to bring it to | opin There are many fleids there which have en cultivated wita this crop for the last twenty years and as yet show no signs of d ig pro- ductiveness. Ohlo and Pennsylvania produce con- siderable seed leaf tobacco, but either on account of the want of care in raising or skill in curing and sorting, those States pe an inferior icle to that grown in the valley of the Connecticut. Of the 248,000,000 pounds now produced in the United “States the State of Connecticut raises 7,000,000, and this 13 eagerly sought for all over the country, on account of the soft, silky nature of the leat, aud its adaptation @for cigar. wrappers. When this tobacco has once passed through the sweating process, which expels a % part of the ammonia contained in the leaf and changes its strong rank flavor to @ mild and aro- matic one, it sometimes selis by the case from $1 to er pound. This sweating process causes a change In the taste, smell and effects of the di there is as much difference between un- ted and fermented tobacco as there is be- tween old and new cider, and any smoker will be convinced of this fact if be will compare the favor of a good cigar with the smoke from a pipe in which inary chewing or unfermented tobacco is used. ‘The latter has an intensely strong and fetid smeil, owing to the presence of a large quantity of ammo- nia mn the leaf, and reminds one of the odor of burnt hair and horn shavings, We would advise all young aud inexperienced smokers to begin with miid ci- gars and cheroots and let the pipe alone till their nerves and olfactories are accustomed to the weed. It is far more difficult to raise good tobacco than to manufacture a first rate article; the former ts de- pendent in & great measure upon the weather, soil and season, Which are subject to a thousand varia- tions which the manufacturer knows nothing of, and he requires Ms pon of one judzment, and ex- perience, which can ecqui 1 years “ot practical td and observation, ‘single hail sto: a severe frost, @ few hours’ expo- sure to the sun Tr cutting or @ few foggy morn- ings after the crop is housed will often do an im- mense deal Of damage to a crop.

AND CIGARS. ‘There is no doubt but the finest tobacco in the world is raised in the island of Cuba, aud there are many causes which conspire to produce this result, ‘There is something in the efect of the tropical sun which giveseto the leaf a =. aromatic flavor, which it is impossible to imitate in @ more northern latitude. Chemists tell us that there is less nicotine or the poisonous principle in Cuban tobacco than in that of any other country, and this substance in- creases the further north the tobacco 1s raised, The Cuban tobacco of the greatest value, and which is used in the manufacture of our high priced cigars, is grown in the southwest- ern part of the island, in a district known as the Vuelta de Al although in many other parts of the island tobacco of an excellent quality ja produced, ‘This favorite tobacco region of Cuba is confined to a very narrow area, about twenty-seven leagues lon and only seven broad, and ts bounded on the no Ca mountaing, on the south and west by the.ocean. ‘The soil 18 light and sandy, and its low situation, being protected by the mountains from high winds, is peculiarly favorable to its rapid development. The Cuban planters have within the last few years made many improvements in the cultivation of this crop, and this ts one of the secrets of its value. They make a liberal use of fertilizers and manures to pre- vent eran exhausting the soil; the land is well loug' carefully and during t!

Saturday morning the Honfleur, of the Curacog and Venezuela service steamed in and brought the bank question to.a focus. The Domini- can Congress 13 in session and the whole round of financial iat was nesased in secret seasion all last week. The Honfleur brought Mr. Jesurum, the government banker, from Curacoa to hear the result. The steamer and Mr. Jesurum had no other business here, unless it were to make @ friendly cail on President Baez, and busy bankers are not much in the habit of chartering steamboats only to make a morning call, though the parties say that is all. On Sunday morning the President, the Cabinet, the military heads and the Euro) consuls breakfasted with Mr. Jesurum on the Honfleur. Mr. Currier, the Dominican Consul General at New York, and the Empresario of the State Mining Survey were alse present and the whole aifair was an official rejoicing of unm! le heartiness, and means that everybody 1s wonderfully satistied with the new arrangements, with or without annexation. It has been quick work all around. The President, Minister of the Interior and the Finance Committee of Congress had probably concluded their plans beforehand, but they were ail im private consultation with Mr. Jesurum up toa late hour Saturday night, and it seems to have ended all right, for the banker departed at nine yesterday, hearing Baez and his Cabinet in high spirits and per- fectly decided a3 to the national and “Mines tive-twenty” plan. The last year has been favorable, a3 a whole, and there is an increased movement in planting coffee and sugar. Land has also increased in value. Old lands run wild, which, since the Spanish occu- pation in 1861, could not find buyers at one dollar an - acre, are now being sought at two dollars an acre. This is at distances of ten or twelve, or even twenty mules from the principal towns, and closer by the change has been more rapid and decided. A iew enterprisi Americans will jeaVe here on the 2ist for Monte Cristi,on the bay of Manzanillo, to form a kind of trading colony at that point.

On the 15th instant her Britannic Majesty’s ship Jason arrived here from Jamaica, en route for Ber- muda. Commander Murray Ayersley was well re- ceived by President Baez, and after the customary salutes had been exchanged she proceeded. When the two Peruvian monitors Atahualpa and Manco Capac arrived off the bay of samané they were slow in hoisting their colors. The fort first fired several blank cartridge shots, then with wooden ball and finally with solid ball before the monitors complied with the usual formalities, and then en- tered the bay, where they remained only two days and afterwards proceeded to St. Thomas. HAYTI. British Embargo ef a Haytien War Ship Critical Position ef the Government. Havana, May 1, 1860, Your Jamaica correspondent writes from Kingston on the 16th ult.:— The steamer Clara Telena, from St. Marc on the 13th, arrived here yesterday. 1 am assured by one of her passengers that the British Chargé d’Affaires had embargoed one of the Haytien steamers of war until Salnave determine to pay a claim of tn- demnity for detention at Gonaives of the English smack Hannah, from Jamaica. Salnave was at the capital, and in a very uncertain position. ‘There was a well armed force in St. Marc to repel any further attack from the government forces. It was said that @ numerous force under N Saget was about marching for Port au Prince take forcible possession of the Clara Heiena and her officers, but the report had not been coniirmed. Nissage Saget had driven the Picquets trot positions wnich these had occupied, and had retaken all the towns and viliages up to the ‘habitation Lassere,”’ in the neightorhood of Croix de Bouquet, near Port au Prince. They captured four pieces of tt days on their march. The en ‘was to immediately on to the cant ‘There were many vessels in St. Marc waiting for produce. Provisions were plentiful. The schooner Youl, which has arrived from Jacmel, states that the Piequets in Aux Ct had joined the Cacos in large numbers, forming a regiment, which President Domingue was to command ip = This force was sent with the cos inst Torbeck and Fort Salut, which they took. ‘The bombardment of Aux Cayes was proceeded in by the Alexandre Petion, but with- out doing any material damage, with the exception of killing two females. Many persons who fled from Jérémie and Jacmel to Port au Prince were returning to those places. Her Majesty’s ship Jason, which arrived at Port Royal from Port au Prince, brings the intelligence that on the 24th ult. the forces of Salnave attacked the Cacos near Gonaives, and suffered a fearful rout, after a bloody battle. Salnave returned to Port au Prince on the 26th in the wer steamer Salnave. He lost considerably in that action, the killed being ninety-five men. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.
