CIRCULAR TO POSTMASTERS.
 Posr OFFICE DEPARTMENT,

The Postmaster General has lately receiv- ed with deep regret, frequent complaints of the miscarriage of newspapers forwarded in the mail. In many instances, the causes of these complaints are believed to exist in the printing offices-the papers have not been put up carefuly.aor plainly directed. BuS, it is feared, that aE some of the post offices, there may have been remissness in not having put new envelopes on newspaper packages, where the old ones have become worn and defaced, and sometimes in having failed to give the proper direction to the packets. To delay the delivery ofa newspaper, is made seri- Ous offence by the post office law Too much attention cannot be paid to this provision :-- by a neglect Of it,any postmaster will lose the confidence of the Pubick and of the Depart ment.
 When failures are complained of, the post master at whose office the packets are mailed is requested to obtain statement from the printer, of the different packets forwarded by mail. and the number ofpapers in each. Oc- casionally tho packets deposited may be com pared with this statement, and any omission detected.
 Pontmaslcra who fail to adopt this sugges. ton, may he justly chnrgeabe with negli. g0nee, and held responsible for all lailures.
 Packets hAdy secured,or not plainly dlrec. ted, should always be returned to the printing office. When the packet Ia large, twlne should bo nsud,and the direction Of ihe packet should be endorsed On one 0r more of the papers chs elHapd.
 Whsre papers are n0l taken ont ofihe Of' fee hy lhe persons tO whom they are dlFecls ed, immediate notice should be given Co the printer, and co hIs failing to pay the postage,

Melancholy Accidsnt.-We are indebted to friend for the following particulars :-.-On Saturday last a boat with four young men left Lubeck for the wreck of the Echo--one of the many who went to rescue the property which was the sport of winds and waves- Messrs. Wm. Lakeman, David Hallowel,E Ed win Hunt. and Wm. B. A. Lakeman. were in the boat, which was driven on rock near Liberty Point, (the southern point of Campo Bello) and capsized,an the three first drow- ned. MT. Lakeman was saved by getting on the bottom of the boat, who happened to be within hearing. The two first were rec ently married and have left amiable wives to depore their early loss. They all ranked a. mong the first young men in Lubeck, and it will be long before the vacancy, which this affiicting event has occasioned will cease to be felt. The body of Lakeman has since been found and inferred.
 Amother.-Yesterday afternoon. (Iast Sab bath) about o'clock, nine yonng men, of this city, chartered sailboat for the purpose of visiting the Woodlands on the western bank of the river Schuylkil, and seeing some friends. When opposite the United States Arsenal, young man very imprudently leap- ed up the mast against the wishes and con HoAy tO tiC duSiCC CL Aio NOi1puAIlOLos WIACu occasiOned the boat to upset, and shocking to relate five individuals perishcd. The per- sons drowned are:-Mr. Robert Gordon, in his 22d year, and MT. Alexander Flemming, (nephews of MT. Fleinming,) Mir. Charles B. Req, Mir. Daniel Darrach. and young lad a. bout l2 years of age, of the name of Joseph Montgomery. The persons saved are John Mcfarland, and Samuel Mcfarland. sons of Widow Mcfarland, in North Seventh Street, between Market and Arch, Henry Smith. .and William -. Thus in moment have the fond hopes of relatives and friends of these unfortunate young men been blasted by this sudden and afilicting dispensatiQn of Di- vlne Providence.
 Creek Iadians-We learn by a gentleman lately from the Chatahoochy, that the Creek Indians on that frontier are in most deplora- ble situation; having consumed all their pro- visions and spent the money paid them by tho government, they are now left in state little short Of starvation. A numbenaG those op- posed to migration, amounting W 6aid, to 6 or 5000 have assembled at theIF Ground, io miles from the town of Columbus but lor what purpose we are not inf0rmed.- Considerable approximations are entertained
