 Gsed!-The Publisher of the l" Hduok and Bss: l smd. scandalOus blackguard paper in New-YOrk lately 61ed 100 dollars, hnd sentenced Uo the city prisoa for thirty days for inserting Iibeous publica ton ia his paper. And Thursday last the editor and printer Of " 7he OsUL," a similar and kiadred nuisance, were brought up to the police office on charge of publishing scurrOus article, and as they could not give security, were committed to jail. Pity that all such creatures could not be confined perma. neD.ly in the wOrk-hOuse.
 "OGr interest continues 10 be materially affected by the conduct of some Oflhe Post Masters partcI. Iarly in Connecticut. In that State, which is the nearest Of the NewEngIand, have more complain,s than from any other quarter; and subscribers are getting est of patience. We beseech the altenton of the distributing office at Stamford this subjec"- ~. r. Spec.
 We do sincerely believe that if the Spectator would little a.tentiO" be paid by its clerks in packing up and putting the papers into the post office at NewYork in season, there would be less cause of complaint. Why the Spectator of Tuesday's date, containing really news ofa later dato than Satur- day afternoOn. should not reach here on Tuesday night, we cannot conceive. It is received miles west of us Tuesday, while twenty miles southwest it is not received until Thursday.l The American and Enquirer, containing nearly the whole of their inner forms of Monday morning and Monday evening, arrive at the same time. So with Fridays paper: its news- we care nothing for it's forward datng-is uniformly behind that oflhe American received at the same time. It therefore the Spectator would find less fault with the post-,nasters, and with its own clerks, must believe the proper remedy would he applied.
 An impos;tion--we do not like to use hard words to an old friend, but truth compes to say -is also practised upon the public with regard dates unwor- thy the high character 0f the Spectator. The only articles of intelligence, for pstance under the last Mondays date, tn the Spectator Of the 27th was one dated "B"I's Head, IN. Y. ciy,l Sept. 2l, and an extract from the review ef the markets from the Daily Advertiser of Saturday morning. Such things by no means uncommon, and should tn opinion be medied The Spectator has great circulation n this State; onducted with fairness and candor is look. ed to for information perhaps than any other in the city; and should think tt would be for the in- terest of the editors have it forwarded speedily possible aiier its publication.
