The Auctioner. is no man who
spends SO much breath, who talks SO fast.
and is so lavish of words, as the auction
eer. He repeats the same thing over and
over again, and never grudges his labour.
He is fond of smart sayings and sudden
turns in the sense; and he is witty al the
expense Of his customers. He can talk of
several different things at once, and with
out confusion. But sometimes very lud
crously mixes up different subjects in the
| same sentence.
For instance. lately dropping in at
| book auction, there happened to be man
who annoyed the company and the auc-
tIoneer with segar. The book bad gone
| up to twenty-seven cents and half, and
the auctioneer dwelling upon it, cried, -
Sand half, and a half, and half,' when
smelling the annoyance, he shouted out,
"D--n your segar!-and a half, and
half, twenty seven and half-thirty--
thirty two and half, and half kick out
| that man with the segar, and half, and
| half-going, going-thirty five. thirty.
| five thirty seven, and a half-curse that
segar smoke land half, and half--Pd

ing, going forty, forty cents forty two

half, and half-I'd choke the rascal
and half, and a half going, going-who
says forty five-not half the price of the
book-and a half, and half, forty two

GENERAL POST.OFFICE.

The report Of the Committee appoint
cd by the U. S. Senate, to investigate
the abuses which have crept, or rather
galloped into the General Post Office
Department, has been received by U.s.
The document is very long and details
a series of the most high-handed and
disgraceful frauds that ever occurred
under any government that ever existed.
The report shows most conclusively that
the government in the short space of five
years during Jackson's administration,
has by this single department been pi-
rated upon to the amount of nearly a
million of dollars This is the admins
tration who declared to the American
people that "great abuses had crept in
under all preceding administrations, and
that Gen. Jackson had assumed upon
himself the special duty of correcting
them"!!!

THE LATE SPEAKER.

Private letters received this mosniRg,
state that MIR. Ex-Speaker Stevenson
has carried in his pocket during the
whole session Of Congress, mriifcn
pledge Of General Jackson, that he should
be appointed Minister Penipotcntiary to
the Court of Saint james. When this
fact became known ut Washington, so
all the letters say, the personal friends
(not collar men) Of the Ex- Speaker in
the Senate, determined not to give him
their support. A very short tire will
decide the question. 1t is n possible
thing that the old Roman may take the
responsibility of sending him on his own
hook-if so, he ought to furnish The out
fit and salary, out of his own pocket.

nomination of Mr.. Flood, of Ohio, as u
receiver Of the public money at land
Office. The Finance Committee ofthat
body have reported in favor of mcnding

storing the pay of certain custom house
