Courier has the following account OF
post Office operator in that city on
Thursday
A gentleman having letter TO drop
in the box, took out of his pocket in
stead thereof his wallet, containing
large sum of money in bank bills, and
deposited the same, with fnll faith and
confidence, in the sub-treasury' Of
misslvcs and circulars. He was not
made aware of his mistake ill he un-
dcrtook to treat himself to half pint
of peanuts at an old woman's fruit
emporium, at the corner Of Kilby street
where he pulled out the letter to pay
for his cltabIes and discovered that
his cash was posted" He hurried
back to tie post Office, and luckily
found that his wallet was not mailed
although fully prPoid. 1t was re,urn-
ed to him free of charge or postage,

ders of the Postmaster General having

AN ARGUMENT AGAINST EARLY
MARRIAGEs.-A writer in the Nation-
al MteWgencer notices communica-
ton from the Richmond Republican,
signed /" w. w. "" in which early
marriages were advocated, and presents
" the other side of the picture" as
! follows
/ Says w. w, Y, all know, or
should know, the opinion of the good
and wise Franklin upon this subject,
who was a warm advocate in its favor.
Perhaps Fra,klin was philosophlcaIly
right III his opinion but facts 90 to
prove that he was practically wrong
For instance, gentlemen " all know,
or should know" that the children of
very young parents are generally de-
ficlent in strength Of body and mind,
and commonly die young. All know,
. or should know" that Franklin was
the fifteenth child of his father, and the
eighth of his mother; and more STILL
he was the youngest child for five sue
cessiye generations on his moiher's
: side, from whom, more than his father,
he inherited his eminent talents. Pitt,
Fox, and Burke, were each the young
est child of their respective iamllies.-
Daniel Webster is the youngest by
second marriage; SO also was Lord
Bacon, whose father was fifty, and his
mother thlrty-two years of age, at his
birth. Judge Story's mother was forty
four at his birth. Benjamin West was
the tenth child of his parents and DIR.
Doddridre was the twentieth child by
one father and mother. 1t is pro-
verb, that tie youngest children are
the smartest." And why evidently
because the parents are mature in
mind and body, aud consequently
transmit higher order of mentality to
their offspring Dies the intelligent
farmer expec, healthy and luxurIant
! crop when he seeds with dwarfish
/ green corn or unr pc potatoes ! And
| why not bring in QUESTION as much
science and common sense TO prOpa-
gate the human form dH ine' rs 'pota-
( toes and cabbage! Grant that early
marriages would obviatr much Of the
| vice and wickcdness which is now al
most unayoidablc,' is no, the remedy
/ worse than tie disease, if ii b. the
means Of bringing into existence a
race of puny, Informed children, a
majority of whom die before they ar
rive at maturity! But the evil does
not end here. Those who do live
transmit their mushroom constitutions
to their offspring, and thus most
eficclually are the " iniQultes of the
fathers visited upon the childrcn."'

lie says
The chief object Of this expedition IS to
search for, and if found, afford relief to Sir
John Franklin, of the Royal Navy, and his
companions.
You will therefore use all di'igeace, and
make every exeltion to this end, paying
attention as you 90 to subjects of scientific
inquiry, only SO fay as the same may not
interfere with the main object OF the expe-
dtion.
\ Having passed Barrow Strai', you will
turn your attention norihward to Welling-
ton Channel, and westward to Cape Walk
er, and be governed by circumstances as TO
the course You will then take.
Accordingly, you will exercise your OWE
discretion, after seeing the condition of the
ice, sea aud weather. whether the two ves-
sels shall here seperate; one fJr Cape
Walker and The other for Wellington Strait,
or whether they shall both proceed toge,h-
er for the one place or the other.
Should you find it impossible, on account
Of the ice, to get through Barrow Strait,
you will then turn your attention TO Jones S
Sound and Smiths Sound. Finding these
closed or impraclicab'e, and falling Of all
ira 'es Of the missing expedition, the sea-
son will probably then be too far advanced
for any other attempts. lfso, you will re

propounded by Lieut.. Maury, and to the
