THE POST OFFICE. The rapid growth of the U. States in oonulation, wealth and power, is truly

astonishing; it is something new in the

history of the world, and proves more conclusively than ten thousand volumes could do, the value of freedom, the bles

sings-and importance of a KepublicanjState and County should generally be

Thomas William Davis, surgeon, deposed that he went to the dead house, in chapel street, where he found the three casks which had been seized by Boughey ; he immediately opened them and found them to contain human bodies in salt. The first cask contained one man and two women; the third three men and one ffcman. The cart containing the cask;? and sacks brought from the cellar soon

place without recurring to limes that are past, and contrasting them with the present. The Post Office Department itself is one well calculated to excite our wonder. Its progress has bern silent, almost imperceptible, and seldom mentioned ; yet that progress has been so rapid as almost to stagger belief, and did we not know its history to be true, it might pass and be receivied as a romantic tale, having no foundation but in the regions of fancy, in the wonderi.ngs of imagination. Thirty-sis years ago(1790) there were only seventy-five Post Otficesin the whole of the United States; their number now (1326) exceeds six thousand live hundred; the extent of the post roads was

then less than two thousand miles, they now exceed ninety thousand. The total amount of postage did not exceed thirty eight thousand dollars. The transportation of the m dls then cost about twenty two thousand dollars, annually, they now cost nearly eight hundred thousand dollars: and the compensation to Postmasters has increased form eijht thousand to nearly four hundred thousand dollars. Ever since the year 1C00, when Thomis JelFjrson was elected President, the increase of Post Oifices and Mail routes has been very great, there were then less than one thousand post oflices, only about twenty thouand miles of post roads, and the total amount of postages was nearly a million of dollars less than it is now. But since the close of the war in 1815, the post oifices have been more

than doubled, and o has. the extent of

post road-. The nett revenue arising from the post office '.establishment necessarily decreases as the number of post offices, and the extent of post roads increase, becausp at those new offices, the' postmasters gel nearly all the revenue arising from postages of letters, and in mmy cases the new mail routes, although a public convenience, become a dead loss to the establishment. The nett revenue duiin the late war was greater than at any other period, as the postages were then bigher; and the number of post offices, and the extent of mail routes, were one half less. But so far as regards the

public revenue, the establishment will;

do well if it does not bring the treasury

in debt tor the annual ol nostanes

sent to a wrong office.

This is a serious and growing evil.

There should be few towns of the!

same name in one State, and where this

is the case now an alteration should take place immediately. And all the Teachers of the school ought to be as particular as some few are, in learning their pupils how to direct letters properly; it is one of those lessons which is easilv learned, and wiM

be found useful through life; yet it is one of those which all are supposed to acquire without learning. II(t( rsto7L'n JYvv. 1 G.

LIVERPOOL, En;.) Oct 10. Trade it dead lodies. On Tuesday

(last a singular and disgusting discovery

was made in this town. On the preceding afternoon three casks were shipped on board the Latona, one of the smacks that trade between this port and Leith. They were described, in the shipping

note, as containing bitter salts. As they

to add something to S mines' theory, at

least so far as to shew a milder climate beyond what Mr. Reynolds calls the "icy circle."' It is now admitted, by the discoveries of Parry and Franklin, that this part of the Polar Sea is perfectly navigable, as it was free from islands or ice so far as the eye could reach, at an elevation of two hundred feet. The London Quarterly Review seems jealous, lest the Americans should take up the subject,

and ascertain the long hidden and zealously sought-for condition of the earth at the pole. Capt. Parry was about to leave England on a new expedition, which ill be fitted out with all that can be done to insure success to it, so that the polcshall be reached by land or water as may be necessary or convenient.

The number ol convicts, on the 30th September was 313, who were thus employed: !05 stone-cutters, 2 lumpers, 3j cabinet-makers, 2G brushmakers, C whitesmiths and tinmen, 3 shoemakers, 1 copperplate-printer, 7 coopers, 10 weavers, o blacksmiths, 5 cobblers, 13 tailors, 0 oakum pickers, ) cooks, 10 washers, 3 barbers, 2G on the new prion, and o on the new stone sheds; 10 were in the hospital, and 2 confined in the cells; 50 of the convicts are black or colored, and oG are foreigners, of which 15 are English, 10 Irish, G Scotch, and 1 Fiench.

Accordingly, the next morning the crew proceeded with their work; but the stench which arose from the casks was so intolerable, that they speedily desisted and resolved to await the arrival of the

away. VV hen the captain arrived, he was informed of the circumstance, and his own olfactory nerves soon convinced him of the. nuisance which had been ship
