The American troops, under General Qutman,
had returned from their expedition towards AL

this division Of troops was to march towards Ja-

Every thing was quiet in Vera Cruz, and no
sickness had appeared among the troops.
We see that two Spanish schooners are adj
yertised to leave Havana for Vera Cruz, to open
the trade, probably under the new Americana
Mexican tariff.

The Awning Posts In Broadway.

MR.. EDIToR:-
notice. in your report Of the proceedings Of the Com
mon Council by the Herald OF this merpng that Aid
Benson offered resolution requiring the awning posts
in Broadway to be removed within twenty days.
am surprised that you did not find room In your
valuable journal for comment upon this important
matter by way Of calling attention to the resolution in
order that there may be no apology for not complying
with 1t instanter.
do hope that this great improvement will be attend
ed to by all the residents Broadway, residing within
the limits prescribed by the resolution which, believe
Is from Battery Place to oath street.
All will see how noble Broadway Will be improved
by the removal Of the unsghty posts now occupying 10
much of the pavement. Cut t. hem down-why eumber
they the ground!
Many Of the southern and western cities far ahead
of In this matter. Look at Saint Louis Mo--thers
you see the neat elegant iron awning frame, whole
blocks of them made to correspond with esph other
they look grand and are so strong wthal, mat no
storm move them. could say the same OF F1tts-
burgh Cincinnati, Louisville &c., &C. But turn we to
street since the removal of the awning posts
Who could have conceived the improvement-wi what
do pedestrians thread their through that I'm
thoroughare that this great nuisance 10 re-
moved
II hold that should Alderman Benson's resolution DO
carried into effect that he will have contributed much
to the pleasure and comfort of citizens and vsts
and would vote him gold modal.

We are aware that the postmaster, in this
city, attempts to laugh off these complaints, by
stating" Oh when the editors are short OF
matter, they fill up by abusing the post office"
This may be agreeable to him, but it is not so to
our subscribers. Itwould be better, for all con-
cerned, were he to laugh less, and work more.
II is with some pleasure we state that the
Postmaster General has lately made an effort to
stop the complaints against the office in this city;
and to do this he has written several strong
letters, very strong letters, to our postmaster,
relative TO the complaints. In reply to these
strongly spced letters from head quarters, the
postmaster stated, among other things. that he
had not force enough to manage his Office pro-
pery and efficiently. To guard against similar
excuse in future, we understand that Cave
Johnson sent to the Office in this city the
required force, with word that the complaints
must hereafter cease; yet, in the face Of this, we
find that the Heralds marked "too latc" reach
their destination before those not so marked
We hope that the Hon. Cave Johnson will look
into this matter. We do not want him to dis
miss the present postmaster, but we trust that
he will have the Office in this city properly man.

Court itself. An amusing illuustra.
ton Of this perfect equality of judy
es and people, was told us the Other
day, and all the circumstance may
be. relied npon as literally true.
Judge Cation was sitting as Cir.
cult Judge in Ogle County, and a.
mong other persons brought before
him for trial, was hard customer
charged with gouging out the eye O.
anot er, III little fight which they
had in small way for their own sat,
isfaction. The testimony was con,
elusive as to the fact Of the alleged
outrage, and the jury pronounced
him guilty. The circumstances Of
the case were of an aggravating
character, as might be inferred from
the loss of an eye by the prosecuting
party, and Judge c. sentenced the
prisoner to term of two years 81
Alton.
The prisoner, previous to trial
had been at large on bail, hut having
been found guilty, his bail was o.
course no longer answerable for him
and he was placed in the hands o.
the sheriff, whose duty it was tc
conduct him to his retirement
There being 10 Jail in Ogle county,
and the sheriff being, as some sher-
ifs are, clever, accommodating
fellow, had let him go on parole
thong h keeping an eye on him all
the while.
This case had been decided in the
forenoon, and Immediately on its con-
clnsion, the Court adjourned for din
ner. As usual, place had been re-
served for the Judge at the head Of
the long table, who did not come in
until all the rest Of the guests had
taken their places. The landlady,
mindful ofthe attention due to digni-
ties directed one of the attendants
to pass the Judges plate to the other
end of the table for slice the roast
beef. The Judge, having Tor the mo-
ment nothing else to do, cast his eyes
along the length of the table, and who
should he see dexterously carving
the savory Wand intended for his
learned palate, but the very chap
whom he had, not an hour before,
sentenced to the pen Tertiary! The
Judge, however, had become so ac-
customed to the proximity of rogues,
that he did not allow this little cir
cnmstance to injure his appetite for
dinner. When the Sheriff was rea-
dy, the prisoner quietly accompa-
MED him to Alton, where he is at
thispresent writing. This is great
country.
