The London Times, of the 30th June, contains
long editorial article n reference the oical d -
patch OF Count Diebitsch. giving the particulars #
the engagement with the Turka near Sciiouma.-
The whole tenor of the article H. intended do away
with the impression, which appeared to be- generally
entertained, that the Russians had obtained any de-
cisiye advantage. After pa dicular notice Of all
the important points IN the Dispatch, the Times thus
cOncudcs:-
"rhiry-fivc OF forty thousand Turks. chiefly in
iahTy, practising the European discipline, fought an
equal number of disciplined Russians for full four
hours, in the open field There is nothiSs hike this
IN the modern history OF the two nations.
Judging by the facts disclosed i'm TN. hnictn, and
not having ns yet any other evidence, should say
that there s no decisive alarming victory gained
by Count Diebits"h this occasion; and that, with
little more teaching their officers wall become cir
cuinspect as thcr troops are vigorous aud brave"

"DeGT Sir.--In consequence OF the disclosure made
by Mr.. Scholeield the deputy penny post, that let
Mrs Barry, wife of the Post master General
and he nian; children were not paid for by the Post
muster General, the CIy Postmaster has irey dis
charged MI Scholeiield from the situation OF letter
carrier, tor which he received perhaps 200 dollars
year, ana has appointed another person his room
who Is allowed, as am told. about $50 dollars. The
law, however, provides that citizens instead of en-
ploylng the penny post, may give authority To unv
person they may select to receive their letters; aud in
consequence of this stipulation, the discharged run
ner has made what may be regarded > appeal To
the voice OF the people against the sentence of pros
crip'ion which has been passed against him. He has
presented paper 10 the citizens To- obtain authority
TO receive Their letters, and IN about two days, the
signatures which he has o.tained has bccu uuna-
rnus as tn I'LL III double columns, about four running
yards OF pnper. BY the time he has completed his
work, he will have done much towards making the
situation ot his successor sinccurc; and have also
made some nroads into the dutlrsOf the penny post

Since the fact, however has been referred ton
