An Unnatural Mother - Yesterday, a
woman with an uncommonly interesting in.
iant OF only two or three weeks old in her
arms, went on board the steamboat Union,
Captain futile, at Sing Sing. and came down
to this city. On the way, she was observed
TO treat her infant badly, and when told she
would kill her child, she said she did not
care if she did. AS soon as the steamboat
touched the wharf. at the old States Prison
dock. the monster Of a mother leaving her
child on board, fastened on shore, and when
told by the cabin maid that the boat would
be of in moment the unfeeling mother re-
piled that she would be back in time. The
child was heavily dosed with laudanum,
and slept through the hour of its assertions
and when the boat came TO land below, Cap
tain futile had the infant conveyed to the
Aims House Office, where i, is well taken care
ot AS the mother evidently intended to de-
sert her child, and she can be identified by
several ladies who were on board, Captain
futile has determined, if possible to find out
The nnieeling wretch. and have her, if pos.

ment Of only tolerable length--and repre-

ing condition. We learn from this paper
that on the first Of July last the Post roads
in this country were about $4,000 miles IN
extent, and the annual transportation OF the
mails at the rate of 27,57S,620. Within the
quarter ending September 30th, last, improve
ments were ordered on old mail routes. in
creasng the rate of annual transportation,
37E,824 miles The number OF Post Offices
liz abe United States on the first Of December,
was 100 During the year ending June
80 last, 666 post offices were established,
345 there were 1874 chan
ges Of Postmasters The number Of Post
Offices will be greatly increased the coming
year, in consequence Of the great extension
Of mail routes
The accruing revenue OF the department
for the year ending the 3Oth OF June last was
S3,39S.455 The engagements and liabli-
ties Of che department for the same year were
S2,755,623. Thus the excess Of revenue
over the engagements and Liabilities Of the
department was S642,3sl. The accounts
of the Postmasters are rendered, and the
quarterly balances paid by them with admi-
rable promptitude-more than ninefy.fue per
cent. Of the revenue OF the department being
