1t is right that the village Postmaster should
charge three cents, because b is ordered to do
so by Cave Johnson; but the Postmaster General
has no right to order the deputy master to charge
the subscriber Of a newspaper with the extra
postage complained of by " Broad Street."
Since Cave Johnson came into power, the Post
office law has been one thing, and the Postmas-
ter another; and we hope that all those who are
daily suffering from the present mail arrange
ments, will bear in mind the amount OF their sui
ferings when the time comes to vote tor the next
President. We hold to the opinion, that any
person who will retain such an Individual as Cave
Johnson in the Post Office Department, is unfit
| to be President of the United States.
| NEW York AND PARIS ExPREss-The newly
| established express between New York and
Paris, planned and conducted by Messrs. Living
ston and Wells, is now in successful operation,
and will conduce much to the convenience OF the
people of both countries We have concluded
arrangements with the proprietors, by which
they have undertaken to express the Herald for
Europe from Cherbourg, the place Of landing, to
Paris, in advance of the mall thus making our
journal the first to carry American news to the
people of Europe.
We do not know Of any recent enterprise

than this newly established express between this
city, Havre, and Paris. Our hatters, milliners,
bootmakers, furniture dealers, and small job
bers and retailers, can, through it, import
what they may need in their respective
avOcatons, on their own account and in such
quantities, large or small, as they may require,
with the advantage of having everything in sea-
son and in the shortest time.
Their arrangements to ensure punctuality and
despatch, are perfect. They have already sent
out competent person to act as their agent In
Paris, who will give his personal attention to
all orders entrusted to the firm, and such parcels
as may be directed to this country will be under
his personal charge from the time they are de-
livered to him until they on board the steam
er; and after they reach here, Messrs. Livingston
& Wells will give them equal attention and
despatch.
The enterprise of the universal Yankee nation
is great.
ITEMS From CUBA.-We are in receipt of files
OF the aurora de Matanxas to the 3lst ult
The news is not of Importance we subjoin,
however, few items from the outports.
At st. Jago de Cuba the weather had been OPP
pressively warm--from the 18th to the 18th July,
there had been exported thence 594 Ala lbs sugar,
81, 1871 lbs coffee, 100 lbs cocoa, 1890 tons cop
per, and other articles of various kinds in small
quantities During the same period, $26, 526
duties had been taken in.
At Puerto Principe, provisions, such as rice,
corn, Sc, were scarce and dear. A public Ii
brary had been established at Puerto Principe,
and Senior c. D. Gaspar de Betancourt had pre-
sented it with 500 volumes. A splendid theatre
was to be built by joint stock company, viii oh
had already raised $4,000. 200 emigrants from
nor Castro Barcelo, phrenologist, seems to
have made great impression on the Cubanos
generally, as we find him spoken of at Cienfu-
Cos, Santa Clara and Santa Espiritu.
The town of Villa Clara was to be lighted at
night by so lamps, on the Let instant, and they
are to be increased to $50. 1t is not mentioned
whether gas or oil is to be used.
At Cienfuegos 164 vessels entered from the LIST
January to Both June-in all 26, 343 tons; and l3S
left tin all q, 1892 tons.
MUNe NEws.-A letter, copied from the Zanes-
vile (Ohio) Courier, and dated "Castle of Lo-
retto, July l4,'' is now having pretty general
circulation, apparently giving an account of the
march of the American army to the city of Mex
leo. 1t happens to be an account of the march
of our forces to Puebla, the particulars of which
have already been dozen times published.
| CAPTURE OF A SLAvER.-Capt. Clarkson, of the
ship Woodside, from st. Helena and Canton,
arrived yesterday, says that H. M. brig Water
Witch captured on the 18th of June last, 700
miles w. S. w. from Ambriz, an American brig
having "Beulah" of Portland, on her stern, in
large white letters. No colors or papers on
board On the log slate was written Captain
| Forsyth. The crew were all Brazilans. She
had on board sos live and 2 dead slaves. Was
sent to Sierra Leone for adjudication The
Beulah was days out from the coast between
river Congo and Ambasetre. She has been more
than year to our knowledge trading between
the coast of Africa and Rio Janeiro, and it is
fair to suppose that during that time she has
been engaged in this horrible traffic.
