% The letter of Mr.. GRE1e in regard tie the
City Despatch Post Office will attract attention.
We have only one line TO add TO what we have al
ready said On the subject, viz SO far as this
enterprise is intended to give system and certainty
to the delivery of letters in city we are warmly
in favor of it but so far it is made means of
increasing the patronage and influence of the
Federal Government in our city, we are entirely
! averse to it.
~ SALT WATER BATHING is a pleasant and
heathfu restorative about these days. No one
should fail TO battle at least once week; those
who can do so conveniently should enjoy this lux
ury oftener. The new baths of Mr.. Thomas. north
side of Castle Garden, are admirably fitted up and
present every allurement TO lave in the cooling ee~
ment.
| TES DAYS LATER FROM BRAzIL-SoMEwHAT
| TMPoRThNT.-We have in our possession, the Jer-
nal do Coamercio, published at Rio de Janeire,
to the 10Th ult, being ten days later than received
| by Us few days since. The insurgents at Ia
rnandua had been defeated by 800 Imperiatroops.
Orders had been issued by the Government to put
every rebel to the sword and burn their property
After the rebels in Mcnas Gareas destroyed the
bridge at Parahybuna they entrenched themselves
in valley by, where the (mperialsts attacked
aad completely routed them. They fed precp-
lately, leaving behind them arms, money and pro-
visions.
All the northern provinces were quiet at the last
accounts. 1t appears by this intelligence, that the
Empire of Brazil is far from being in a settled
state, although to the latest dates the Imperiasts
had obtained all the advantages.
BY our advices from Montevdeo TO the 18th Of
June, we learn that French ship from Beyonne
had been lost at Cas,iIhos the 10th, and two
hundred lives lost, Herald.

IMPORTANT AND NOVEL SURGICAL Operation
DIR. Dixon, Of this city, has lately performed
an operation, at his institution for the operative
surgery of the eye, No. 5 Mercer street, of grea
consequence to the afflicted. The patient Mr.
Sanford Morse, of Union Village, Washington
county, thirty years since, received severe con
fusion from the rolling of log ever his head
The consequence of this was permanent con
traction and depression of the lower lid, prevent
ing the tears from passing into the nostri and, b,
the constant exposure of the eycball, severe in
Aamation and pain were its constant attendants
The operator removed portion of integument, o.
a tra ngular form, with its base towards the ex
ternal commissure of the eye-ds. BY bringing
the edges of the wound together, the lower lid
was Immediately elevated, the tears passed al
once into the nostril, and what is still more graft
ying, the upper lid regained the power of wink
ing-thus ehectually relieving his Distress and re-
storing his natural appearance. DR.. Dixon has
brought the operation for squirting to great de-
gree Of perfection. He operates all ages
from the infant of one year TO the adult of sixty
and allcdges, in his publications, that the opera
ton if properly performed, should never require
over ten seconds, and does not admit Of failure
He has operated great number OF our citi
zens, and from much experience, having been con
nected surgeon for the eye with two of our
most extensive charitable institutions, we doubt moi
his abilities to fulfil mis- promises,
