Duke of Well .vcro.v. The duke of Wellington, it would seem, is the terror of the clerks in the treasury. There aie vari ous anecdotes afloat of his grace's military habits in his new sphere, one or two of which are worth preserving. Wishing to get rid of some of the official complexity which en cumbers the public accounts, he is said to have desired that an alteration should be im mediately made in the mode of such and such payments. The routing gentry declared that ' such a change was impossible that the thing had never been so done, or even thought of ' Never mind," said his grace, ' if you can not do it, I will send you in half a dozen pay Serjeants, who will." The idea of substitution was quite as new as the method propo aed, and the very thought that " Othello's occupation" might be endangered, soon converted impossibilities into the easiest things immaginable ; and his grace's wishes became Commands . Another story is, that his grace, or the finance committee, requiring certain accounts to be made out, which would occupy somewhat more time than the persons in whose department it lay to prepare them had been in the habit of bestowing upon the p'ib'ic concerns something like a strike was meditated ; and his giace was told that to do what was required, would detain the gentlemen at their desk much longer than they had been in the habit of attending; St that, when . such was the case, it had been usual to con sider the extra service in the shape of an fr ra-allowance This it was thoi' would be a poser but his grace, as it is said thro' a want of common humanity, took no other notice of it than issuing the following order u Till these accounts are prepared, let each clerk attend one hour earlier, and one hour later than he has been accustomed to do." Nothing can be more disgusting than to see the way in which people whose whole time is paid for by the public, loitering it away as if they had really nothing to do Eng. P after What grand fellows are these 1 miiilaty chieftains for despatching business ! If one of them were imported to Washington, from the backwoods, say Tennessee, the perccpti ons and movements of our executive struT would be wonderfully quirkmed. Our hotels would be the theatre of less tippling, and abuse of Jackson and his friends; while out public offices would exhibit more devotijn to that business for which the people al ayy.ftay, but which is not always done. . 6 Tel,

The emperor of China, by a late edict, severely censures the sheriffs for their frequent

mistakes in executing one prisoner instead of

another, as described in the death warrant, and cauiions them to make no misiakes in future Canal Tolls. We learn from the Western Tiller of the 16th inst that te tolls on the Miami Canal, received at Cincinnati in five days ending May 4'K amounted to thrte hundred forty eight dollars and sixty-three ind a half cents CIRCULAR TO POSTMASTERS. Posr Offics Department,) IQih June. 18 23. $ The Postmaster general has lately receiv ed, with regret, frequent complaints of the miscarriage -of newspapers forwarded in the mail In many instances the causes of these complaints are believed t-j exist in the print-

tain leading articles of intelligence, a sum ma ry of political events, or what is generally termed news, and is published weekly, or oftener, it should be called a newspaper. Ad vertisements arc generally contained in newspapers, though seldom, if ever, in pamphlets. In cases where strong doubt remains what character to give the publication, it would be well to charge the most favo! able postage, until the decision of the postmaster general ahull be obtained. Where a greater weight is f ranked than the law authorizes, postage should he charged ioi the excess. If the packet contain handbills, or other article?-, which cannot be caile-i newspapers, or pamphlets. 1 he cnc. s-s should be charger! by the ounce, as h?- letter postage. But, if the excess censis' of iiew'-.pjpLTS 6i pamphlets, they should be chained as such. Every thing- sent in tho mail, n'drh does not come under the denonnna; ;i.n of new sp.t pers or pamphlets, is subk-ct, by law, to letter postage. The postmaster general enjirv the u'roo'st vigilance and impartiality on all poslnv.'crs in the performance of these duties. And he hopes to witness the beneficial rt bults, of their zealous efforts, by the public confidence re posed in the safety of the mrdl, and the fidelity of its agents.

Army Difficulties. Under this title the editor of the New -York Commercial Advertiser publishes some facts which it may be necessary fcr our readers to know. The editor says : k Contrary to the advice of many of his friends, we arc informed, general Scott, a few days since, wrote to the acting secretary ot war, insisting upon the arrcr.t of major genet al Macomb, for issuing orders to him ; or in case the president should decline this measure, general S. insisted on being arrested himself, and requested that the court mm tia! to be detailed should be selected by ballot from thirty officers to be designated by the executive, for that purpose general S of course reserving the right of challenge and that 4k a highly i e spectable" judge advocate should be designated to conduct the trial The letter to ti e ac ting secretary was written in the most re spectful terms, Sc in language showing that he hcnes'ly believes that gen. Macomb has no right to command him To these questions, as we are informed, an answer was returned, reminding general S. that he was now on a furlough, and directing that as soon as that expired, he shall proceed to his post a the west, and informing him that if he did not think proper to resume his command, and submit to the orders from the depat tment, the United States would have no further need of his services. 41 General Scott, we believe, is now at Philadelphia ; and from a conversation with an in titnate fiicnd of his, we have yet hopes that on reflection he mav be induced to remain in the service of which he is an ornament." Children's Shots. Children's shoes ought to be'made large and easy. Their feet are rapidly expanding ; consequently, which at pre sent just fit, will pinch in a month. Hence ate produced doubling of the toes, painful corns, curving of the nails into the quick, and often headach and general disoider. Shoes tor daily wear should never be thin; such shoes do not protect the feet in walking ; and instead of encouraging a firm, manly step, give rise to timid, hobbling gait, which is extremely uncouth.
