service OF The Post Office Department, is said
10 be near lhirty-two millions Of dollars, which
is some four or FIVE millions more than the
probable expenses of the Government as esli-
mated by the Secretary OF the Treasury. The
receipts from CUSTOMS land sales and postages,
cannot be more than thirty millions 1t most;
which will leave deficit oi ;wo millions OF toi-

The N. Y Albion, the organ Of British feel
ings and interests, refers TO the favorable recep-
lion which Mr. Colqui,'s resolutions will proba-
BIZ meet with in the Senate, and expresses the
following opinion as to the effect of their passage
From this il will be observed, that the Senate
kes disposed to give the notice for putting an
end 10 The joint occupancy, provided The notice be
accompanied with declaration in favor OF a
settlement, by negotiation and compromise. To
such course we see NO, objection, and We ear
neslly hope that it may be adopted"
Ii hopes, ,ha, after such vote, "the Cabins,
will be ready 10 reopen the negotiations, or 10
subniilhe entire question TO arbitration" As to
the latter alternative, the hopes OF the Albion
are destined, We are sure, to be defeated.
The Albion gives the coup de grace TO many Of
the unwarrantable> charges of the Wing press,
made expressly 10 create political capital:
With regard 10 all that is said respecting the
Influence of Sir Robert Peels new Tariff, on the
councils Of Mr.. Polk; the alleged secret under
Standing between Sir Robert and Mr.. Polk, for
sacrificing the American Tariff for the Ameri-
territory; we can offer nothing in favor of such
surmises, nor do We believe in their existence"

nropriety. will cause yon to look back 10 that mo-
ment. which others might regard as Notifying,

the absent minded gentleman did not stop long
for them to Notwithstanding his situa-
ton, he grasped both coats in his hand and
rushed out OF the church, the whole auditory
in general litter and wondermcnt Accidents
will happen in the best regulated families, but
under such circumstances, they are extremely
provoking, and ure entitled to our sincere COM
msseration.
Fully Committed Adam kloppenberger,
the unfortunate German who was arrested on
the night of the 29lh ult., OLD the charge of de-
stroy ing his own child by throwing it into the
river, was yesterday further examined by JUS

Nothing like being Insured. Mr. Lee, whose
property was destroyed by fire on Saturday
night last, we are gratifed to learn, was insur-
ed in the Spring Garden Insurance Co., of
Philadelphia, and on Monday morning an esti-
mate of the loss WIS made and OH prcsenta-
ton, was promptly paid by its indefltigable
agent, james Lovegrove. This goes to prove
to every mechanic, that he ought to be insured
as then, he can rest satisfied, that should his
shop be destroyed by the devouring element,
he has recourse to his insurance. Therefore,
stop not till you are insured, as prudence So
cures everything.
