COMMUNICATION.


Mr.. EprroR-You love a.joke so well, that l
have been waiting for you to have a laugh upon
the subject of the Thistles, for the cutting down
of which :. Sealed Proposals" are to be received
by the Superintendent of Police. You have kept
:; Num- as YOU say, however, and now only
take up my pen to ask you to let the public know
that. upou a diligent search, have discovered,
on the open fields about a quarter of a mile from
town. a grore Of Thistles. of most luxur'ant
growth. and that it is generally presumed the at
Iention of contractors have been called to that
particular spot-our town being quite as free
from Thistles as most places that know of. |
learn that SOC neatly sealed packets, endorsed
:. Proposals for cutting Thistles, were received
by the Superintendent of Police on Saturday, and
that a number of curious looking strangers were
seen, on that day, prying about our streets, lanes,
and alleys, supposed to be in search of the Scot
fish emblem. and that towards night they all be-
gan to look blank, and cursed YOU, MIR. Editor,
for publishing A HoAA.

NETWORK MARKET-JuxE 10.

Hlm.-We have seldom known the market
more inactive than during the present week. al
though within a day or two it is thought there has
been a sIirl,t Improvement III the demand. The
arrival of a few thousand barrels from Phlladel-
phia. part of which has been forced upon the mar
ket AT reduced rates, as we'll as the anxiety to
sell other descriptions of Southern, appear to
have deferred purchasers from coming forward
until the market became more settled. The stock
OF Western Flour is but moderate, and the re-
CENTS very light, and, with the expectation OF so
continuing until the new crop. 1t has been held at
previous rates with more confidence than other
descriptions, although some small parcels have
been forced at low rates. Rye Flour is scarce.

Gruin.-The receipts of Wheat continue very
trihing, and the mills in the vicinity are general
ly idle for want of adequate supplies. The ut
lie that arrives sells at prices much beyond the
proportionate value of Flour, and no important
business can be done here in this article until the
growing crop is brought to market.-Com. .fac.
From The n. T. Journal Of Commerce, Jme 10.
The MARKET.-A brisk business IS gong on
in Cotton at full prices. The total sales OF the
week are large. In coffee there have been WIN
in a day or two several extensive sales hardly
sustaining former prices. Ashes continue IN
good demand at full prices.-On the Corn E&-
Change all things are rather quiet, prices remain
ing much the saise for the last few days. HE
total arrivals of Flonr this week have not been
equal to the city consumption.-in Sugar anu
MoIasses there is very little movement.

Some idea of the system on which affairs are
mana Sed by the present glorious Administration,
may be gathered from the following statement
by the Washington correspondent of the United
States Gazette. Our readers will all, doubtless,
recollect the tuning and raving of the Telegraph
on the subject Of Mr.. FlLEBRowN's accounts:
"Among the persons named by the Telegraph
as public defaulters, during the first months of
the present Administrations, was Mr.. Fillebrown,
who held a clerkship in the navy department, and
with a view 10 make the impression more strong
on the. public mind that this was the case, the
government commenced a suit against Mr.. File
brown for a balance alleged to be due from him
10 the public. On his case of corruption, as it
was called. the Telegraph enlarged from day
to day, and the others of the Jackson press
echoed the clamor, until the people we're in
duced TO believe the accusation. The case a
gainsl Mr.. Fillebrown was put down for trial at
the court now sitting in this city, and was TO be
called up last week. MIR. Filebrown urged the
district attorney from day to day. to bring on the
case, until finally he was informed that it was
wifhdratcl, and thus ends this exposition, of
which such a handle was made. 1t served the
purpose for which it was intended, and that was
all the government agents cared for. They rocked
little as to the injury which ,aight be done to the
character of the man against whom they directed
their SANDERS. Itmay likewise be remembered,
that MIR. Fillebrown instituted suit against Duff
Green, who is literally bent to the ground, by the
accumulation of suits on his back; bat this &C.
ton will rot come on for trial until the December
term. 1t is hoped that MIR. Fillebrown will not
be induced to withdraw his action against Green,
iu consequence CT the course taken by the gov
eminent.
~ have not heard what has been done with
the suit which was instituted against Mr.. Nourse.
DR.. Watkins's term of imprisonment expired on
the 14th ult. but the government had previously
entered up execution for the amount of the fines,
so that he is a close prisoner. This act appears
to partake more of the character of malignity
than Of justice"

The following account of a singular robbery OF
the post office, is copied from the Jamestown,
Chatauque CO. Republican, of the 9th inst.
son the 5lst of March last, \. A. Lowry.
ESQ. Postmaster of Pine Grove. Pa. enclosed
$3.50 in two letters, and directed them to two
mercantile houses In Albany. They arrived there
by due course of mail, but had been broken open,
the money taken out, and in its stead were found
a piece of post Office wrapping paper. and a note,
the purport Of which was that detection was M
possible, that the thief was an honest man, and
would return the money in two or three years,
with interest. AS the bag containing the letters
was not opened between Buffalo and Albany,
the robbery must have taken place between Pine
Groveand Buffuo. Suspicious were entertained
against Nelson Rowe, the clerk in the Post Office
of this village, who at that time had the sole charge
of it the postmaster, DR.. Foote, being absent.
He was arrested, and on Thursday the SOth ult.
underwent an examination, which excited a great
deal ofinterest and occupied more than two days.
The examination resulted in MIR. Rowe's acquit-
tai. Wait, Brown and Marvin, for the Prosecu-
ton, and Mullet. Osborn and Hazeltine, for de-
PENDANT. The affair is yet surrounded IN mystic
ry.r
