ton that new postmaster is TO be appointed for
this city-and that Mr.. Coddington is to be removed
ecause he has not settled with the department for

If the expected removal OF Mr.. Coddington is as
accurate piece of information as the story of the
box money, we do not give great credit to any part
OF the affair We assert it as fact, that the Post
master General and Mr.. Coddington have settled
the box money matter in the most amcable terms
The amount in dispute is deposited in the name Of
John !. Palmer, in the n. Y. Life ~ Trust Co, and
there it awaits decision from the proper quarter
Then again as TO the proposed postmaster. We
understand that the person alluded TO, is Mr.. Luf

of political committee in Wall street. Mr.. l.. may
be very worthy man, but do not think he is

and resolution

Lecture Of Charles H. Delavan last evening
Temperance. mt the N. Y. Society LIZ
brary.
This was truly splendid affair; the house was
crowded to excess with ladies and gentlemen of the
very highest circles the orator was in one of his
happiest moods and. the whole passed off with
great eclai, and unbounded applause would be in
vain even 70. the human imagination to do adequate
Justice to this magnificent display of Demoshenian
eloquence, and Johnsonian argument. And even if
it could be reported verbatim, still the CciorOnian
STYLE the sariter in mode, would all be lost upon
The unfortunate reader. We are persuaded there is
not man who heard that lecture who will ever
again defle himself with even the smell of alcoholic
drinks. The following is very brief synopsis of
the ecture-a mere skeleton; the filling up-the
clo,hing-the garnture-the embellishments-the
flesh and blood, the life, soul, and spirit of the
Grafton, we must of course be compelled to omit.
After a magnificent exordium, the orator said he
should conine himself to four pleas for total absti-
hence from alcoholic stimulants. (Cheers)
l. Economy and prudence.-Except gambling,
there is no more certain way to dissipate wealth,
than TO indulge in the use OF alcoholic stimulants.
No man has right to waste his surplus wealth in
sensual and vicious indulgences. (Cheers)
2 The advantages of life and health. -Sana meus
must be in c0ypore Order is heavens first
should keep in tune SO long. Keep the head cool,
and lead regular life. Murders and suicides are
rapidly increasing. All in consequence of strong
drink. (CheeH)
3, The Laws of Dcorum. Although de gisti-
bus non disputandum, yet the orator said he never
knew woman who fancied the breath of rum
drinkers. Married life is not only agreeable but
cessary (cheers) But some OF my audience will
probably say TO me, Physician, heal thyself." The
orator is tall and remarkably handsome unmarried
young man To this reply, the physi clan is not
always required to swallow his own medicine: -
This comparison of wife to dose of medicine
produced tremendous applause.]
4 Patriotic bcnevolence. Under this head the
orator alluded to commerce, shipwrecks, loss of
steamboats, on our western waters, and SO forth
with the astounding assertion that nine-tenths OF
the loss of all this life and properly, is from ardent
spirits
The orators peroration was highly grandioquent,
but We must simply conclude with requesting our
the next time he lectures.
