INTERIOR OF THE NEW POST OFFICE. The following is an outline of the arrangements of this :;.rand national undertaking : Immediately on entering the portico from St. ltlartin's-le- Grand, is the great hall, about eighty feet long, sixty feet broad, and fifty thr:e feet high in the centre. On each aide of the centre are six Portland stone Grecian lonic fluted columns, standing upon granite edestals, corresponding with a granite dado, surmounted by ants, r pilasters next the walls the whole of the entablature,which is fully criched, is of mastic, excepting the epistilium, which is of Port iond stone. The architraves to the doors are also of granite. The walls -re plastered with mastic cement. The ball is lighted from above :he columns in the centre part. Immediately opposite to the en . ranee is a gallery of communication between the north and south wings ; and over the principal entrance is a dial face, sunk and or. camented in mastic. On the north side of the hall are the Newspaper, Inland, and Ship Letter Offices. On the south side are the Foreign Offices, Receiver General's and Accountant's Office. At the eastern end of the hall, next Foster-lane, is the Twopenny t'ost Office. North of the centre in the eastern front is the hall as here the bags are received by the mails; they are then conveyed to the Tick Room, where they are opened. Communicating with the ball is the Inland Sorter's Office; adjoining to it is the Letter Carrier's Office : these rooms are upwards of one hundred feet long, and the latter thirty-five feet high ; the fittings up in them appear to be perfect in their kind, the almost innumerable boxes and ;I'gs:on-holes, drawers, &e. &c. required for the dudes of these offices, should be seen to be duly appreciated. At each end of the Letter Carrier's Office are projecting circular rooms, or bars, for the principals. The Letter Carrier's Office is warmed by heated air, and its outlet is in front of the circular bars above alluded to. There is a spacious office appropriated solely for the West India letters, approached from Foster-lane front. In this wing are the Comptroller's and Mail Coach Offices. The Foreign Office, which 1., as before stated, on the south side of the hall, is most chastely and conveniently fitted up; we were much pleased with the elegant ceiling and octagon light of this room. Under the great hall is a tunnel, in which some very clever ma chinery is placed for conveying the letters from the Inland Office to the Foreign Office, and Wes versa. A similar contrivance exists fur transferring the letters from the General to the Two penny Post department. At the back of the Foreign Letter Carrier's Offices, and at the eastern end of the Fo s eign, is a torridor, and the Principal Clerk's Office and Private Foreign Office. Th e corridor immediately at the right band of the principal entrance leads to the grand staircase, the dimensions of which are thirty-two feet by twenty-three feet. The balusters, which are brass and bronzed, are particularly neat, and yet of suffi cient ornamental character to preserve the uniform elegance of the staircase. On the upper landing is a niche, in which it is under stood a figure is to be placed supporting a gas light. On the first, or principal floor, are the Board Room, Secretary's Rooms, and Secretary's Clerk's O ffi ce. The Board Room is of the dimensions a 37 feet by 24 feet. The ceiling Is of the form technically termed waggon-head. The cornice, which is clasically enriched, is supported by real wainscot pilasters—the doors, da does, and window dressings, are also of real wainscot—the walls are painted to imitate the wood—all the floors on this story, throughout the building, are of American oak. At the eastern end of the hall, on the north side, is a stair. case leading to the Letter Bill, Dead, Mis-sent, and Re turned Letter Offices ; and across the gallery of the hall are the offices connected with the Solicitor's and Secretary's departments, which latter are also approached from the grand staircase. At the end of the passage, on the first floor, is an iron door of communi cation with the Assistant Secretary's house. On the second floor story, and upper story, are sleeping rooms for the foreign clerks. The number of these rooms, and the extent of the accommodation, may be conceived, when it is stated that the rooms on each side of a gallery, two hundred and thirty-seven feet long, are appropriated to this purpose. The Twopenny Post Sorters' Office, which, as before stated, is at the Eastern end of the Great Hall, is forty-six feet long, and twenty-four broad. Adjoining the Receiving Room is the Pre sideut's Room. In the basement story, the whole of which is rendered fire proof by brick vaulting, is the Guards Room and At moury. The Guards Room is conveniently fitted with lockers, presses, and other accem m3dations, for the men when off duty. Immediately under the portico are placed two large gas meters, capable of regis. tering four thousand cubic feet of gas per hour, supplied by the City of London Gas Company. The whole of the gas apparatus is of as perfect a character as can be conceived..— There is a very ingenious contrivance for regulating the inequali ties arising from the irregular pleasure of the gas-holders, and is called a governor; the utility of such ao instrument will be ob vious, when it is know:: that eight hundred full-sized argand burners are already fixed. At the south-west end is the Assistant Secretary's Official resi dence, well suited for the accommodation of a gentleman's family ; the principal rooms are in admirable proportion, and the decora tions are of an elegant yet chaste design; the lodging rooms are so placed as to admit of a free ventilation, and are rendered as cheer ful as the confined situation will admit. t he servants' offices are peculiarly convenient, and are, like the main building, file proof. The whole art the basement story and staircases will be lighted with gas. We omitted to mention tbac•a very simple yet perfect means of obtaining a copious supply of water, in the event of fire, is pro vided ; and also to notice some ingenious machinery for the pur. pose of conveying the coals from the cellars to each story of the It is to be regretted that the obstinacy or cupidity of individuals should prevent a good access to this magnificient edifice from Cheapside, yet such is the fact ; for it has been considered neces sary to have the coach road level with the foot way, to obviate this inconvenience so far as may be practicable. Every exertion is making fur commencing business early in the ensuing month. Workmen are now employed in taking down the only remainifg obstruction In St. Ann's-lane, and the cabinetmakers are daily sup plying articles of furniture for the several departments. This noble building may be considered not only as one of the most classical edifices of the metropolis, in an architectural point of view, but as comprehending the finest specimens of British skill in the several branches of art, which has. ever been produced in this country. Sancti COOLNESS.—After the defeat which we for merly experienced from HYDZIL Acu, previous to the pious vie. tories which we achieved, the late Sir DAVID Buss being amongst the prisoners, he was treated with the same cruelty and insult as the rest, and was chained to a private soldier and cast into a loath some dungeon. On hearing ibis sad account, his Lady (mother) reclaimed in broad Scotch, " Hech me ! but I'm sumo was for the pair telly that's chained to our Davy." Sir D. B. bad afterwards an opportunity of taking ample revenge on his oppressors.

HENRY WELLESLEY, from Vienna, with dispatches from his Excellency Lord COWLEY. Mr. WF.LLESLEY left the Embassy on Thursday se'nnight, and brings, it is said, the important news that the head-quarters of the Russian Commander in-Chief was Heydos (Aidos), and that the advance on Constantinople had not yet taken place, as was reported. News have arrived from Madeira that the garrison there was in a state of mutiny against the actual Captain- General MON TEIRO. The Times being brought at last to his better con victions, which we feared he had altogether abandoned, has found himself compelled—by the portentous aspect of affairs—to turn right round upon the Noble Duke, and accuse him and his colleagues of Ministerial im potency, only twenty-four hours after his declaration that he supported his Grace because of his superlative Ministerial efficacy. We hope he will not attempt to go back, nor to deny, nor explain away his meaning, which is too unambiguous to be mis taken : " the day"—he says—" is past, for manifesta tions of vigour by the English Government." Let him stick to that, and we will presently throw up our caps for him again. To be sure, the day is past ; but under the Mton of the Noble Marshal, that day never existed. Vigour ! What vigour could we expect from such men as Lord ELLENBOROUGH and Mr. GOUL BURN—the Earl of BATIIURST and Mr. PEEL? A rat Lord Chancellor, and a rat Attorney-General ! We will not argue here about the five or seven swords in the Administration, because it is political— not military— vigour which we are now discussing, and swords cannot impart that to a Cabinet. But look at Mr. HERMES ! What do you think of him, by way of a vigorous Minister ? At all events, he had the praise of defeating some who were " vigorous." As to the Noble Earl at the head of the Foreign Office, and the Noble Duke at the head of all the Offices, they vindicate for then:selves a vigour which is peculiarly characteristic--the vigour of perfidy and intrigue : they mal-administer their own Govern ment, and assist foreign tyrants to mal-administer theirs ! But if it be a question to preserve untarnished the honour of the English name—to avenge the national flag, insulted by a minion of METTERN ic it on its own prescriptive dominion—to coerce within its proper limits the encroaching spirit of the North, when its ob jects are become too visible to be mistaken by this country : if it be a question to rei.oera the pledges given to Portugal, and assurances of protection guaranteed to Greece—a question, in fine, whether England shall sneak and trackle, or maintain her just pre-eminence among the kingdoms of the earth—the compromising, and not the commanding alternative, is now the invariable choice of the British Cabinet. A sensi ble, and really popular contemporary, evidently refer ring to an article in the Journal du Cominerce, which we publishid yesterday—and which the Times treats with more levity than discrimination—expresses himself con cerning this political degeneracy as follows : " We should regret exceedingly to inculpate the policy of a Minister whose glory it was to have saved Europe from an universal monarchy ; but we cannot but recollect that the time was when a word was the signal for a blow from this country, and that the blow generally preceded the word—that Russia, at one time, durst as soon have threatened to take the capital of England as to have despised a remonstrance on the part of her Govern ment.—and that now her armies are within a few leagues of the capital of an ancient ally—her fleets sailing boldly through the English Channel, to aid in the work of aggrandize- - ment, and the degradation of England—and that as yet only we hear of Cabinet meetings—of messengers traversing the Continent, of interviews with Prussian and Russian Ambassadors, of two hours' interviews, and such like nonsense! Would it no: have been better to have dispached a fleet to the Mediterranean, and (to use the language of a gallant Admiral, who knew of no other mode of negociation or interview than that which was held through the medium of broadsides from British men-of-war), to have " captured and sunk, as per margin, so many Russian ships of war ?" This is language worthy of the purest times of English policy, when the heroic national spirit was unbroken, and undegraded ; but which we may yet soon hear again resounded from all sides, if men of principle—instead of mercenary speculators—can get possession of the public press. How sincere is the language of true patriotism ! How impossible to mistake in its purity, or to be con founded with the specious brilliancies put forth by knaves to mislead the honest, or by partisans to uphold a party ! Names do not stand in its way, nor powerful patronage, to choke its utterance : it is no respecter of persons, but fastens fearlessly upon the public delinquent, and sus tains—without fee or favour—the man who deserves beat of his country. It is clear—from the moral phenomena which are accumulating round us—that the WELLINGTON Ministry cannot hold its ground ; and although we do not deny to that illustrious Commander the glorious fame which he has acquired, u well for England as himself, by leading her armies to victory, we are not the less convinced that he is now feat hurrying her to political degradation. But it seems that the Noble Duke's memorable averment of his own incapacity was to go for nothing with those, who were determined to hazard even the existence of the Con stitution upon the experiment of bringing back the CASTLEREAGH system of government under so con genial a leader. It has been tried to its farthest extent —and GOD knows—the patient people have endured it quietly : but they find, now, that it is time to change. Aut nunc—aut nunquam ! It cannot, however, be too often reiterated, that a greater support to the Noble DUKE than all his band of confederating oligarchs—with the bro ther of that unconstitutional Minister at their head—was derived from the tergiversation of the Times. Its esta blished popularity made it an engine of inconceivable power, either to gain the acquiescence of the people, or excite its dissatisfaction at that critical conjuncture. It abused it for the former purpose ; but it is now turning round again, and seeking to conciliate the rising storm, by denouncing—as incapable, yesterday—zits whom he lauded for superior attributes the day before. The Beglerbiglicz—in other words, the provinces tri butary to the GRAND TURK—are at present the most afflicted country on the face of the earth. In addition to the plague and the presence of a victorious enemy, a new scourge has visited them in the shape of locusts. Egypt, in its days of wretchedness, was scarcely less ag grieved. The following are extracts from the German Papers received this day : FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, Auo. 7. _ _ A new scourge has within these few days threatened our pro vince. According to an official account from Tockschany the dis trict of Rimnik, and the country about Wrislaw, have suffered for the last week by the ravages of swarms of locusts, which come from Moldavia and gradually spread themselves towards the Danube. The President bas issued the most urgent orders for the extirpation of this plague, and the Divan is enjoined to have them punctually executed. Some days before the arrival of the locusts the district of Rimnik was visited also by a dreadful hail.torm, in which many cattle and even some men lost their lives.— The plague which, as the weather grew warmer, made greater progress, and for a fortnight carried off between forty and fifty persons daily, has been less fatal for a few days past, the deaths being seldom more than five or six in a day. Nevertheless, the number of persons infected and of suspicious cases, is still very great. Measures have now been taken to preserve the hay in magazines. The two principalities are to have 4$ magazines, in which provisions of all kinds are to be deposited. The Commis sariat in Jassy has concluded with a merchant from the Backswina a contract for 50,000 chetwerts of oats, and 5,000 chetwerts of flour, and the Commissariat in Bucharest is said to have orders to send 70,000 chetwerts of flour and oats front Moldavia and Wallachia to Tourmoul, whence these supplies will be sent to their further destinations. ODESSA, Aug. 10. The Board of Health has enjoined all the inhabitants to confine themselves to their houses. Only the masters of families are al lowed to go to the markets, each attended by a servant. On the same day, notice was given that in the village of Little Knjalnik, near Ynatory-Khutova (a village previously infected) three per sons had died of the plague; and that in the same place there are four other persons attacked by the disorder. This village being out of the district already insulated, has been surrounded by a cordon of Cossacks.—Though the sanitary state of the port conti nues to be satisfactory, it has nevertheless been resolved to send away the merchantmen that have been freighted by the Crown : they are to go to other ports to take in their cargoes, as there is danger at Odessa under present circumstances. CITY. Twinve o•CLocc. Consols, which left off yesterday at 883 89 for the account, opened at the same price this morning ; but owing to the various reports of naval preparations, and fleets going to the Mediterranean, being contradicted by the evening and morning papers, and a report this morning also of the great probability of an approaching peace between Russia and Turkey, the Consol market has im proved, and Consols are at present 89a, and 881 for money. The foreign market, to this hour, is not worth the least notice— nothing doing. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. The Consol Market continues rather heavy—not on account of political information, but owing to some Money Stock being brought to Market. Consols may be quoted at 89, alternately buyers and sellers during the whole of the morning; and 881 for Money. In the Foreign Market, Portuguese Stock has Improved.

This fashionable place of amusement closed last night for the season, which, unfortunately, was not so favour able a one, in point of weather, as the zeal of the pro prietors deserved, for they provided every possible enter tainment for the ►ratification of the public. After the usual routine of amusements being gone through last night, Mr. W. H. WILLIANts spoke the following fare well Address : " LADiNS AND Gitlumant—The duty has devolved upon me, in the name of the Proprietors, to offer their accustomed tribute of gratitude. Unfortunately this season has been unpropitious, and almost unprecedented in the annals of our services. Yet, notwith standing the weather has almost invariably frowned on us, the sunshine of your favour has never been eclipsed by the dark clouds and the lowering of the elements—(Applause). The recollection of pa.t and present favours will never be erased from the tablets of our memory. With this pleasing prospect before us, Do foul wea ther shall damp the ardour of our future exertions; but the dawn ing of another season shall find us alive to every possible improve thent ; and the exertions of the managers shaU be applied to every department to produce amusement and novelty—(Applause). I ant requested by each member of the establishment to express the most grateful acknowledgment of your liberal approval, and I may be allowed moat humbly to convey my own thanks to you." The Gardens st ere numerously attended, and an the MIMI went off with great eclat. Miramichi Papers to the 29th July, and Havannah to the 24th July, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The former papers state, that they have the pleasure to record the agreeable fact, that two vessels, loaded with general cargoes, have sailed for the West Indies. Most of our Journals have been amusing the public with their surmises and speculations in regard to the journey of Mr. Rothschild to Paris, which, we have good reason to suppose, are without foundation. We can now state on creditable information that the above Gentle man's visit to Paris is connected with a plan for the re duction of the Interest of the Austrian debt. A 4 per Cent. Loan which Rothschild's house at Frankfort had concluded two years since, (says our respectable City Correspondent), with the Government at Vienna, under conditions that the said Loan was to be kept a secret until peace between Russia and Turkey was concluded, will now soon be brought into the market, as the expectations of peace between the above two powers daily gains ground.
