'NI Ait 11 ra t 1835. SIIEIL said, that finding, the form of appointment not havin g been gone through, be could not procure ►tie document, he would withdraw his motion. NAVY ESTIMATES. MY. Eclair raised a question as to the expediency of.going into the navy estimates at that hour (half-past ten o'clock), 'upon which Sir R. Peel and several other hon. members made some observations, after which it was decided the' public busi ness should be proceeded with. Lord ASHLEY, after making a comparative statement of the istimate which he was about to propose with former years, con cluded by moving that 26,500 men,. including 1000 boys and marines, he employed for the sea service for 13 lunar months, from th e 31st of March, 1835, to the 31st of March, 1836, which, after being discussed, was agreed to. Lord A SHLEY was going to propose a vote for the money necessary t o pay th e se men, when he was interrupted by Mr. Watt, who said, " No money to-night. It's now past fine o'clock." The cry of " No money to-night" was then repeated by leveral hon. members. So the chairman reported progress, nod the house resumed. On the motion of Sir. T. Fremantle, a new writ was ordered t° issue for the borough of Cardiff, in consequence of its pre °ut member, John Nicholl, Esq., having accepted the situation r one of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and; on the motion of Mr. Brothertou, the house adjourned till Mon 'lay. (Yesterday). NEW POLICE BILL.

' By the Catherine, Captain Busy, we have Demerara papers to the 30thlanuary ; but they da uot contain any intelligence different from that which we.gave on Triday last. We refer'tbe reader to some very important ,and alarming accounts from the Cape of Good. Hope, which will be found elsewhere. • , The latest' adpices from New: York are to the 25th February, •The citizens had received intelligence, direct from Havre, of-the recall :of the French ambassador, and the offer of passports to• Mr. IAVINGSTOIq, and it..had created ,considerable excitement. By the last accounts -from Washington the House of Representatives had come to •no 'decision the president's message ; but the subject had been. set down . for Aliscuision on the 20th February. Congress was- to , - terminate its session on the 3d of:-the-present month, so.thatdittle time remained for considering: the question Of peace or war. The pro bability is that:the house will adjourn without expressing any op i n ion further than its determination to support the chief magistrate in maintaining the honour and inte l rests of the union. :The' Americans themselves are not sanguine that France will pay the five millions of dol lars, and they do -not appear to think that their own government will attempt to compel„payment by hostile means. .The' following letter . from Washington, dated the 19th February, takes a sensible view of the matter:-- "It is said that a very important debate may be expected arising out of a report which will be made by the committee on foreign affairs to-morrow, on the correspondence,of Mr. Living ston, which was referred to the..conaraittee on Saturday', the ith inst. The committee, it is said, had much difficulty in coming to an agreement concerning the, :report. Mr. Canibreleng has been told in committee that he must not expect to carry his war projects through the house without a hard struggle. Perhaps, however, the tone; of the French papers may have made them more harmonious. On the President it is said to have had a prodigious effect; throwing him into a paroxysm of rage, when he came to that part in which he is called au arrogant logician and self-Willed chief. I presume he considers this editorial abuse of him sufficient cause of war, if cause sufficient existed rio s t be fore. It was supposed that a communication would be made to congress to-day, as it is understood that the President re ceiveddespatches from Mr. Livingston ,yesterday.. Nothing, however, has been sent.in, so conflicting are the rumours .that all is doubt concerning the. result of the present condition. of things. ' It is thought- by-many that nothing will be done before the adjouinment.of congress,.and that if the President should desire any legislative action in consequence of the ac counts lie may receive from France, he will have to convene congress in' the Summer." We have receivedJainaica papers to the 4th February'. Lord &too had addressed a string of questions, fifty-four in number, to various gentlemen in the colony in order to procure information as to the real state of the negro population. The. new police bill appears to work well; but we regret to observe. that something like dissatisfac tion has already begun to show itself, among the new German emigrants. Mr. MYERS, who had imported a considerable number of these , labourers, had ..applied to the commissioners'of accounts for the stipulated compen sation per head with what success•the following details will show : " A petition was presented from Mr,,Myers, stating that he had,' at the request of .several influential proprietors, imported into this island, from Upper Germany, in lamilies, 508 agricul tural labourers, who are to be 'located in various parts. of the island, and praying the. order of the board to the receiver-gene ral, for the bounty of £l5 per capita, so liberally provided by the House of. Assembly. The.hoard, taking into consideration the zeal and activity shown by Al r.. Myers. in his endeavours to benefit the country, unanimously ooncurreil i with theAmieption .a Mr. Jordan, in granting the prayer of the petition, which enables Mr. Myers to meet his engagement with the captain, for the passage money of the emigrants, amounting to no less a itun than £3500 sterling, besides port. charges, &c., which will leave Mr. Myers a loser by his patriotic exertions of £338 currency, a sum which we feel assured will be reimbursed by the House of Assembly at its next meeting. The conduct of Nit-. Myers, and his patriotic endeavours to benefit the land of his adoption by the introduction of a race of hardy, intelligent, tad industrious labourers cannot, we again repeat, be too highly applauded. He is not what is termed a rich man, but he cheer fully embarked his all for the benefit of nis countrymen, by removing them from a land of tyranny and oppression to a country where, by their own exertions, they will be placed be yond thp possibility of want, under a government where the life and liberty of the subject are preserved by mild and benignant laws. _ _ . " the following distribution of the emigrants, we are happy to state, is so judicious, and their comforts will in consequence 1 )e so well attended to, that we have no doubt we shall have thousands of other Europeans locating themselves irr the moun tainous districts of the island. " Mr. Watt, of Montego Bay, in the promptest manner came to town to meet his newly-arrived apprentices, and ordered his fine brig, the Friendship, to proceed to Port Royal with all possible despatch, to convey them to his domain ; and one hundred and fifty, in families, will be shipped this morning for St. Elizabeth's. " Mr. Hamilton Brown was equally prompt in repairing to town for the same purpose, and has engaged a vessel to carry 150 for his own estates ►n St. Ann's, and 45 on account of Jas. % L. Hilton, Esq., to Dry Harbour, which is within a few miles of their future residence, in the most delightful climate in the world. Mr. Samuel Anderson, of Montego Bay. has also en gaged to locate auout twenty. Mr. Myers himself has secured the services of about thirty. Dr. Spald►ng and sonic other gen tlemen have undertaken to prov►de for about one hundred and twenty; thus distributing our newly-arrived strangers on the estates of gentlemen of wealth,' cons►deration, and humanity ; and we feel perfectly assured that the provision which will be made for them will render the new situat►on of these emigrants comfortable, and lay the foundation of a source of future wealth and security to the ►sland. The success of Mr. Myers' plan has induced other gentlemen to exert their local influence in the united kingdom; and we are happy to state that thousands may be looked for in the course of the year." A remarkable phenomenon had occurred in Kingston and most parts of the island, on the 29th January, indicative, by all appearance, of some volcanic eruption in one or other of the islands near Jamaica. It is described as follows :-- . ""We alladed yeaterday to the extraordinary appearance M Jetriiiitdderable quantity of very fine dust which covered the furniture in every part of the city. The particles of this "dust;" or rather cinders are so extremely soft and minute, thabit was considered to be the effect of a strong sea breeze then prevailing, and acting upon our street. We received letters from various parts of the island, containing some samples of this pher.ocrie non, which does not vary in its appearance, and exactly cor responds with what was collected on board of sevenl vessels in this harbour. The nearest volcano to this island is that Hof Guadeloupe, which was fiercely agitated the day after the erup tion at the Souffriere in the island of S t. Vincent, in 1812. A few days will, at all events, solve this mystery, and put us ill possession of a knowledge of the spot front whence this dread ful warning issued. The following letter is from a most intelli gent gentleman of the parish of St. George, in the northein part of the island, which clearly manifests that the explosion must have taken place to windward. " Mr. EDITOR,—My neighbolirs and self have been at a loss to account for a kind of dust which was seen about the houses and fields; it was obseved on Saturday last. My notice was attracted by seeing my tables covered with dust, which surprised because,l remembered we were visited . almOst every night, and some days, with smart showers of rain. I was led to in quire of my neighbours if they could account for it; and. to .my surprise, theralsd noticed the sante thing, which I at first anticipated was the common doSt yonKingstonians are used to see on your furniture, when the carts are passing by Your doors. However, on passing through my cocoa-piece on Monday. 1 there saw a great deal of this dust settled on the leafs of the trees; on examination, I find it is of a very fine nature, and, I think, much "impregna ted with sulphuric matter. 1 send you a little of it for inspection. I am satisfied you will shortly hear of some eruption, which hai broken forth not very far from us—no doubt in the Windward Island.' " St. Georges, January 21, 1835. • Someanen hate their enemies, perhaps upon a princi . pie of reciprocity ; but it is peculiar to the nature of an Irish papist never to forgive his friends. Mr. SHEIL'S motion in the House of •Commons on Friday last is a proof of this. Lord LONDONDERRY was one of those liberal tories who reposed the most unbounded confidence in the Roman. Catholics of Ireland, invariably favoured, and ultimately carried their admission into the British Parliament. This .we believe to be the reason why the noble marquis is so frequently honoured with the vitupe ration and the abuse ofsuch persons as RICHARD SHELL and DANIEL O'CONNELL. It is a singular fact that the men whom the papist.members for Ireland have most fiercely attacked are those to whotn.they owe the greatest favo urs . , Their.malignity.seems to be in the, ratio Of ,their obliga tions. 'Other men `have - a sense of . gratitude, and the consciousness that -they Are indebted. to certain parties fur the honours .or privileges they .enjoy softens the acerbity of political warfare And imposes silence whore commendation cannot consistently be awarded. But the papists of Ireland are : a class sui generic. • They • hate -most bitterly those who have served them most faithfully, and they appear to take the greatest pleasure in malign ing and injuring their friends. For these humiliatin g if not disgusting reasons, so germane to the character of a popish demagogue, we are not surprised at Mr. &MIL'S attack upon,Lord LONDON DERRY in reference to the noble marquis's appointment as ambassador to the court of St. Petersburgb..When was it, that papists ever spared any one of the individuals who took an active part in removing their disabilities? Who was, a more energetic ; advocate , of what were called the Roman Catholic claims than the Knight of Kerry? From his earliest years, And :during his whole career as a public man ,and a member of parlianient, did Mr. FITZGERALD. favour the admissibility of the, excluded Roman Catholics. iAt length—in an evil hour we say,-- these claims were conceded, and the very first act of the emancipated parties was to turn round upon their friends, load them ,with execrations, and exclude, them from the representation of Ireland. Witness for us the case of Mr::SPRING RICE. ...lie too. was one of their leading and inostconsistent advocates. :He pleaded their cause for years; he was their eulogist and friend; he prornised.us their gratitude; ,he was a guarantee* for their loyalty; ' assured us that emancipation would heal all the wounds Of Ireland,..and that it would give peace and repose, and pnt an end to all the'feuds, grievances, and insuberdina-, tion of the Roman Catholic population. Weof the minority, on that occassion did, not.,believe him.' We had • no. confidence in such assurances. We saw , nothing,r.bot danger, ,folly, ,and a, revival of discord in 'the bill of emancipation. We predicted that it would prove a.curse to the British empire, and that it would give power to a faction who would be more than ever the most unrelenting enemies of 'England—the civil institu.: Lions, .and the protestantreligion of England. ,We were on.that occasion set down as illiberal and narrow-minded persons. 'The paltry slave who knelt before a grovelling Priest, and counted his heads before.an image of the vir , gin;:called us bigots ! large family of . English . SHALLRWS;- and' -the tapeworms of literature among the whiks; ieproathed•us , witti ignorance , ! Blockheads who called history. A n-" old almanac," and whose readingne . ,v,erencompassed, any work. beyond Robinson crape, pr the equally. popular and more characteristic fiction of the -Forty Thieves, attributed our opposition to prejudice, .and in the cant of :the; day they asserted, in a Sneering -tone of upstart affectation, that we were totally behind and conld.not appreciate the " spirit of the age." We were beaten, not by the people.of England, but by -the quacks of the day, by :the worthy representatives of rotten boroughs, and by tories " acting upon whig 'ciples." Being beaten• by an overwhelming force, we had.no alternative but try. submit to the terms imposed • uport.Usby the. courtesy of the " honours of war." But the:mind is not,,or rather cannot be, placed in subjection to the same extent as'the body. We waited the- result in silence. What was it? Why, the Roman Catholics of Ireland, took. the very first; opportunity. to, discard from the representation the very men who had been their most steady and unflinching advocates. 'Mr. 'SPRING RICE was driven from Limerick. Sir Hiway. PARNELL was, expatriated. Mr. SHAW lost Dublin... Mr. FITZGERALD was ejected front Kerry. The.GßarraNs were beaten, and there would be no member• of the family in- parlia ment at - this hour if he were to disobey the slavish c.oun sels of O'CONNELL. Even at the last . election : , the Knight of. Kerry was marked out for assassination by the very demagogue whom he had l".death's e c ontributeda t,s hea to d, to the-House of Commons. The ..be placed over the door of every man who voted for him. A short 'life here below, and a long one in the lower ;regions, was to be the doom of the wretch who gave leis vote for the protestant candidate--for : the man, who had opened the door for. O'CONNELL,. u ILL Sz and the igno- I minions. tail of rebels,and slaves. Now is our riddle read? It is a key to the rancorpus invectives heaped upon Lord LONDONDERRY by the .honourable member for . Tipperary, on Friday last. Had he noble marquis never conferred any favour upon the papists of Ireland,. Mr. SHELL would have been less vin dictive. Let those, therefore, who now suffer for past THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. friendships take a lesson for the future. As there is no gratitude there should be no faith. As there is no ho nesty there should be no confidence. As evil is returned for good it becomes the duty of the well-disposed to keep further aloof, and in proportion to their distance wilt they be more respected. As navigators have found in their intercourse with savages, the less familiarity the more safety. What is the serious charge against Lord LONDON DERRY? He has accepted the honourable appointment, conferred upon him by his Sovereign, of representing his Majesty at the Russian court. Is it alleged that his private character is incompatible with the performance of his offi cial duties? No. The private reputation of the noble marquis is above reproach. Ile is beloved in the circles of domestic life—he is estimable as a landlord—as a hus band—as a father; he is strictly honourable in every public and private relation—he is 'a soldier and a gentle man—he is active and industrious—he is of inflexible courage, lie is unbending in principle—his loyalty and his love of country being equally unquestionable and unbounded. These are rare qualifications; but, unfortunately for the noble marquis, he is a tory, and has delivered on certain occasions speeches deeply tinctured with the odious taint of conservatism. Alas the day! we cannot but admit the full force of these weighty objections. It is strange, however, that the parties who object to the appointment of his lordship had nothing to urge against the pacific or rather family mission of the amiable Earl of DURHAM. During the reign of the whigs they had no representa tive at St. Petersburgh. The gentleman whom Lord PALMERSTON proposed to send was objected to by the Emperor NICHOLAS. He had committed hiinself by some rash expressions relative to the Poles. Lord DURHAM, however, was sent thither for the benefit of his . .bealth: He 'and his lady, his children and suite =-- the young GREYS and the younger ELLIsEs-:- were sent 'off on a pleasure tour (for it was nothing else) 0 . the imperial. court, at the public expense; and, although Lord DUR HAM did nothing, there was not a single patriot in the House of Commons who objected to the appointment or questioned the expenditure thus incurred. Lord LON DONDERRY is not sent upon a pleasure tour—he goes to represent England at a court the most powerful in Eu rope, and where the utmost contempt for Whig statesmen is entertained. Mr. SHELL and Mr. CUTLAR FERGUSON contend that . .the noble marquis is a very unfit representative, inas much as he is the enemy of the Polish rebels. This comes with a bad grace from the whigs, who were and are parties to all the alleged acts of oppression inflicted upon Poland by the Russians. The rebellion in . Poland, first instigated by a parcel of boys, followed up by its , gambling nobles, and brought to serious maturity by those patriots who having mortgaged their estates wished to swindle Russia out of its advances and its claims, was the most rascally and dishonourable rebellion ever ex cited in Europe. The history of that insurrection has not yet been written. When justice is done to it the truth will appear. It followed in the footsteps of the re volution of the barricades. The leaders looked forward, as they had good reason to do, ..to Lou}s • PIHILIPPE apd the whigs of England. They were promised, and they confidently expected to receive countenance and support from the revolutionary and reform governments of Paris and London. France and England could have saved Po land, but they would not. The whigs talked and blus tered—they affected to be friendly—they remonstrated in "Paper, but, in the teeth of all their popular pro fessions, made only to delude and betray, they refused to succour the unhappy men who had _taken arms at their instigation, and were left to be sacrificed without word of remonstrance or intercession. Talk ()Mord LONDON DERRY being unfavourable to the Poles ! The game is' over—the deed is done—the .decimation is complete. —the nobles are in exile—the subordinate instigators; are in Siberia—and all this was dose while the whigs were in office, and could have prevented had they ex- . erted the power and influence which belonged or should •have belonged to the majesty and government of Great "Britain. Lord GREY and Lord DURHAM might have interfered, but Lord LONDONDERRY cannot interfere. • The tragedy is ended. He cannot recal to life, the brave but unfortunate men who,perished at Warsaw,. and who were encouraged to rebel by the very parties who after wards refused to assist them in their extremity. The strutting empirics of Paris talked heroically in their chambers about the " suffering Polq," but they would not march to their relief. They • were • sentimental over their woes, and sung songs in their praise, 'but,they, al lowed them to be trampled upon and extirpated- never theless. The same sort of favour was evinced towards Poland by the whigs of England in the. hey-day of their power, and yet they have. the effrontery . to complain that Lord L O NDONDERRY is unfriendly to the Polish rebels, most of whom are dead, .and who owed their melancholy fate . to the revolutionary example set them. by the re formers and levellers of France and England. • We have had occasion to advert pretty freely to the flagrantly corrupt practices of. the executive government of the United States of America, and we have endeavoured to prove. that in. that admired republic, . the best of all free, cheap, and popular systems, there is more jobbing, seating, and plundering than *Amy of the much vilified countries of the old world. But we have been accused of misrepresenting America, ~and of exaggerating the evils which are admitted to exist, and which are inlepa rable from all,bernan institnticms. , Those who. make this charge against us know that. 4 is false, - for they have the evidence before their eyes in the, pagea of the New: ork papers. The public, however, do not possess these sources of information, and therefore it is reasonable to. suppose that many. persons are still inclined to give to our cOrriiri republicans the b4nefit of a generous incredulity. We have no wish that they should place implicit confidence in•our statements. .Our_ only object is to make the Arne, rican system better understood on this side of the water; and open the eyes of our countrymen, whir have too long been.deluded as to the:degree of perfectibility ascribed to the institutions and departmental governinent of the United States. In order to accomplish this, we are con tent that American legislator's and writers ;alone' should be made,: the mitnesses. againstrAiremselvcs: Surely , .not be said that theirs is questionable .authority, .or that they are. likely to invent calumnies * against the country of their birth, and of which it is natural they should be proud? No; we believe them: and in doing so we pay a higher compliment to America than the narrow-minded persons.in. Liverpool who deny the truth of the, charges, and strive to conceal the ,defects of the system. For ,as.suming , that the, allegations' are un founded, that the corruptions charged are invented calum :Dies, and that, the statements put forth from i time to time by congTessionalpommittees are all false;—assuming all this, we say, for the' sake of argument,- how wotild the case be mended ? The charge would be, .regrove.d ,frPm the executive,. but a fouler charge .would rest. on the heads of the public men of America—of the roost distin .guished mania the union—of, senators of approved.wis do.m and hitherto of unblemished reputation. The alter native would force upon us the belief that the orators and statesmen of Washington are ready to sacrifice truth to. faction, and devise schemes of fraud,, of a purely imagi nary . nature, for . the purpose of damnifying ,their poli tical-.opponents. We protest.against this most•eruel and : unwarrantable .assumption, for, it conveys a charge of moral depravity a thousand times, more serious in, a na tional point of view than the corruptions 'they have dis . closed.and condemned. Having offered - these preliminary remarks in order to satisfy the reader that we draw our information from the bestsources, and that our. evidence is strictly confined to American authority, we proceed to furnish a few illustra tions_of repriblican corruption. We have before us a copy of the New York Morning ,Courier, of the 16th of February, one of the largest and hest supported news papers inthe United States, in which a Washington cor respondent gives an analysis.of the report presented to the house of representatives on the state of the Pest office.: He says:— "This morning, in the honse,,thecomrnittee appointed to exa mine .into tho ailaira. of the Postottice reporte - (f. There is a niajority_end a minority report. Tiny are both voluminous. There is also,un imitiene mass of testimony.. F..ren the' majo rity dq apt pretend tp justify the . Putrages and•juisa-kapageineat which have disgraced this department of the government since General Jackson came into power. It is believed by many, that the Postoifice is NOT THE MOST cortauPT. There are other departments which are " whitened sevulchres filled with dead men's bones;" and which, it is said, will be thoroughly probed at the next session. That the Post-office "is not the most corrupt" may be true; but it is almost impossible that jobbing can be carried to a more flagitious extent. The writer pro- ceeds: -- "The report demonstrates that from the organization of the government, down to the year 1829, the clerks in the depart ment were authorised by law • their salaries r egu l a t e d, an d their number, at all times, specified; and when an increase be came necessary, they were employed iu pursuance of law. But in the year 1829 the reform administration commenced its operations. General Jackson came into power, and exclaimed, I am to expound the constitution and to see the laws executed, as 1 understand them. My secretaries, and other subordi nates, are my agents. They are to do my biddings. I take the responsibility! From that period we hear nothing more, or very little (and that little incomprehensible) as to congress authorising, from time to time, an increase of the number of clerks. They are only called upon to appropriate the money to pay them. The law on this subject, as on every other con nected with the execative department, has become a. dead letter, and is totally disregarded. "The report presents, in a clear and intelligible manner, the effects of this glorious system of reform, so far as the Post-office department is concerned, and the means of ascertaining the facts, were furnished to the committee. A similar probing into the Indian, the pension, the land, and other departments, it is believed, would unveil enormities- equally, if not more cip-- palling. What are these effects? According to the report, there is employed a! present, " In the Post-office department 90 clerks, receiving salaries per annum, 82,500 dollars. "The law authorises only 38, at salaries amounting to 39,700 dollars. "Employed without authority of law 52, receiving salaries of 42,81 X) dollars._ " Is there a patriot in the-nation that can cast his eyes upon such a picture, and not feel that the goyim nment is rapidly ap proaching a consolidation of all power in the hands of one man; and that iran tauntingly proclaiming to the nation and to the. world—' 1 take the responsivaity. , " It is admitted, by the report, that contingencies will arise, where occasional expenditures must be rnadewithout the pre-. vious authority of law; and they, therefore, instituted au in quire into that desc,ription of expenditures 'wilder previous ad ministrations. ThOlesult of this-laberfi proves` thitt.from-1189• to April, 1829, forty years, the excess of expenditure . beyond . what was previously authorised by law, and .for which subse quent appropriations were made, was 26,713 dollars, being an average of 670 dollars per annum. "From' April, 1829, to December 31, 1834, being less than six years, under the reform administration, the excess.of expen diture, for these contingencies, beyond what was authorised by law, was 120,434 dollars, being au average of more than twe n ty thousand dollars a year, or nearly as much, in each year under the reforming system,. as was expended iu the whole period of fur:y years before it commenced oper a tio n . • " The incidental expenses of the department, exclusive of salaries and clerk hire, Bce.,,now amounts to the gnomons sum of about ninety thousand dollars a year. • In the above, three departments alenamed in which " enormities equally, if not more appalling," prevail. These, however, are to be probed by and by. Mean while, we continue with the Post-office ; in which Ottit- DIM' B. BROWN, a personuge whom we have before now had occasion to make honourable mention of, cuts • a conspicuous figure " On the 27th April, 1816, a joint resolution passed congress, requiting a register to be annually published, containing a• list of all the officers, with their salaries, 8:c. Obadiah B. Brown is here reported as chief clerk, at 1700 dollars per annum. In the course of his examination he 'was compelled to state that as superintendent of public buildings he received 500 dollars per annum in addition. This &ice is unknown to theilaw, and is not reported as having any existence ; nor . does any but the initiated know from whence the money is drawn. How many hundred such cases there are under the government, as now reformed, can only be conjectured. • "In relation to the state of the books, and the manner .of keeping the accounts, the report affords. information of a cha racter not less astounding. '1 he law as it now exists, requires that the accounts of the Post-office'department shall be settled at the treasury quarterly. By a communication from the trea sury to the committee, at appears that the accounts arc. only settled up to the Ist July, 1829; and that when they are under examination, no inquiry is made as to the legality of •any ex pentlitures•by the department. "The post office patronage is presented in the report, in bold relief ; and a pretty exhibition it is, under the reform system. The number of postmasters is about ten thousand seven •hundred. Their emoluments about nine hundred thousand dollars a year. The compensation to Contractors is nearly two millions of -dot- lars a year. Until 1829, being a period of forty years, no . removal of these officers took place but -for cause. Since that ; period thirteen hundred have been dismissed: The minority. of the committee wished to examine into the causes of these,re movals, but the majority overruled the proposition. "Previous to 1829, all bids for contracts.were delivered at the office, sealed and kept sealed, until the day for receiving bids had expired. • As soon - as the reform conarnenved, however, Mr. Addison, a clerk in the office swore that by the direction' of 0. B. Brown from 1829 to 1832. he opined the bids froin day to day, as they came in. That they were kept locked up in a room, of which he had the key. liOtiody had access to this room but himself :and Mr. Buco. From conversations with Mr. Barry, he has no doubt they were opened. with his knowledge: What glorious pickings the reform system, •in those days, must have afforded the disinterested theippiodl of the azteninistration. "But in 1833, the clamour on this sub i ject beeame loud and long. The whole hog . men took the 'scent. • lhe tuarnals wereprolific. The stye was in an. uproar. There were : mote pigs titan teats Mr. Brown was, therefore, removed from the arduous, duty of examining these bids. It.was then assigned to the two assistant Post Master Generals. The reform system retrograded. The old hacknied mode. of.keeping the, bids sealed tip was-again resorted to;. and on a.reference to the report it will be seen that during the years 1829, 1830,' 1831, 1832, the most * flagrant cases of improvident contracts and: wasteful, if riot corrupt, allowances took place. The report states, that no authority by law has .ever been given to the Post Master General .to alter or change contracts, or to give .up one and substitute another,, and yet, under, the reform system, this has • been the, daily pracrice„since 1829; and this, too, without. the idle .(orrnality. of,ailvertisiug, which only tends to produce competition and create divisious " among brethren of the same principle." In 1795. a case occurred where it was necessaay to make en alteration. Congress passed a special act authorizing it. In, 181, a case arose where, the sub stitution of a new contract for an existing one was required. •A special act was passed granting the authority. In 1825 the Post Master General.was authorized to grant additional compensation for additional services, provided. Such compensation waspro 'rata, and not otherwise. _ _ _ In titter contempt and defiance of, these legal prohibitions, or the want of legal authority, the report .demonstrated :that in numerous cases, some of threat, of,vatt magnitude,. allowanees have been made where no services were rendered; in other cases, where the services weremorpisra/, the provision that allow ances should ",be pro ram" is disregarded. Contracts have bean made totally different fromthe advertisements; thus com mitting a fraud tiprin the fair and Aionett •P,Truietitnr,. who was not a favourite with the department:. " Anothersystem of frauds upon the ,goveriunent and the ini tiated is what is called combined, .amalgatnated, di impro,.;ed bids. :This consisicin linking tl,ether various routes,. so as to render it:diflicult to u n d ers t an d tuoir bearing . and Operation.— The effect of whi q h ,is t o d r i ve f r o nt the road small capitalists, unless they,will consent u bec;one su6contractors.

In. these cases, so* kind friend of theslepartmeot usually steps in, and takes the contract on. his own terms. These bids have bectithq ‘ so comzuoa . that they.aie technically termed straw bids." • The above will suffice for. The present, it being, we , calculate, as fine — p a dish as eve r w as ' s et b e f ore are sident! Poor Sir•Joim KEY was a deeply injured man: America is the place for patriots of his '-order.

There was a very small supply of Oats, yet the demand was very trifling, and prices the same as last week. Flour at the commencement of the week was in some request, but the termination was very dull and scarcely supported its price S.. Oatmeal was very saleable, and 3d to Gd dearer. No alteration in Barley. TUESDAY, Two O'CLOCK. We had a fair attendance of dealers in our market to day. There was a tolerable demand for Wheat of good quality at last week's prices. Oats were dull and Id. to 2d. lower. Oatmeal much inquired for, and sold as high as 275. Fleur was dull for fines and supers, but 2ds and ads being scarce went off freely.

ITALIAN OPERA.—SIGNOR DEVAL'S 13ENEPIT. —Signer Deval takes his benefit at the Italian Opera this evening; the performances announced for the o ccas i on are "11 Corradinoi" the.tirst time this season, a new grand overture between. the act?, composed by Deval, and- a miscellaneous selection. -of Italian music. .To the indefatigable industry and exertions of Deval the Liverpool public is indebted, primarily, for the re commencement of these performances to him and to his co adjutor, Marani, we are likewise indebted for the degree of perfection which they have attained, for they have both been constant in their superintendence of the rehearsals, and laborious in adapting the music to the numerical strength andprofeseional capacities of the different members of the company. For •these exertions Signor .Deval comes before -the . public this night for that measure of reward which is unquestionably his due at a Singer and an actor, and thiswe hope will be liberally given, both • as-a remembrance of past services and as a stininius to lintere exertious. As on "Cesari's" night, a poytion of the pit•willbe railed off, -for Abe admission of -box-dressed company. While speaking of the benefits at this theatre it may not be inoppor tune to remind its PM pportets that anythino , but justice tvas done to Marani, who we fear scarcely cleared his expenses on the night set apart for him. We would suggest that another night be given him. Were this dove we have no doubt that- he would produce 'an entertainment that would set gravity lit defiance,— Mons. Devitt ' 'the stage manager, takes his benefit on Friday night: Ttia-AsiPHITHEA TK E.—Things are goitm on very steadily at ' this theatre. Several novelties have been produced, and•ene. ceisfullv performed. Mr. Neville- sustained the part of Sir -Simon de Montfort, the Blind Beggar of'Bethhal Greeen, in•the celebrated piece of that name, on Frid a y ' n i g ht , • i n . a Manner that would have done credit to tiny theatre. Onthat night " a young lady" made her second appearance "an any stage," as a singer, and sang "The Hose of - Allandale." She- peeseses a god voice; hut, embarrassed by' the novelty of her lituatiOn, -she was ineapal?le of making a good use of it: She wants drilling, and has a great deal to learn and sometbing to - unlearn. !rite proprietors benefit night, on 'Tuesday, was, we are happy to find, a good one. • • THE LIVER THEATHE.---Mr. F.

MANcIiEsTER TkiEATRE.—Mr:' Baker had N bumper house fur his benefit on Monday evening. O'Keefe's comedy of Wild Oats, was admirably played by all the principal per formers. „Mr. • Browne's Ho ver was f u ll of spirit; Sir George Thunder was ably sustained by that wend performer. Granby;, Mr. Chapliti'a John nary Was a neat bit of finishett acting; and Mrs. Shaw we have never seen to more advantage than in Lady Arnaranth; .1%11.. Bake r ' s Ephraim .

Hoskins played the hero, who is a thorough spurge on any one who gives, or who will suffer him to take dinner. We do not like the acting of Mr. Iloskins. It is even too coarse for such a part. The performances concluded with the (pot very) "new farce" of I'.

About the same time a blark and remd.kable looking cloud was seen out at sea, beneath which . a magnificent water spout made its appearance. •
