II will thus be seen, that subscribers will be
obliged to pay at their respective post Offices quar-
tery, in advance, the rates Of postage indicated
above, having reduction where they have paid
under the old law in advance. In some cases, it
will be perceived, there has been reduc jon the
old charges for newspapers, while the postage on
transient newspapers, sent unpaid, in some cases is
enormous.
However, the table above given, is very explicit
and Clear and to that we call attention for any and
all information so far as the daily weekly Herald
may be concerned, whether by those who desire to
mail newspapers to foreign countries or to own
cities and towns. The postage the Herald to

those who may receive newspapers without finding
the postage prepaid
MORE LIGHT ON THE RECENT MEXICAN CLAIM
BUSINESS We gave, in yesterdays Herald, hint
to the public that a large fraud had been COM
mitted the government, in reference to Mexican
claim, and on former occasions We gave intimations
Of the character of many other Mexican claims
which were paid by the government under the
award made by the commissioners. More light on
these matters is being shed every day. We find,
in the Tiitune Of yesterday, the following para

having committed fraud on our general government
under which he has obtained nearly half miin,n of
dollars without shadow Of right The whole evidence

pli,ated.
There is every reason to believe that thi, is
correct in the main but it is by means all that
might be elected by Congressional examination
into the mode in which many Mexican claims were
made up, settled and awarded. From all the facts
that have leaked out il is very certain that frauds
Of most extraordinary character have been per.
petrated in the business Of the Mexican claims. 1t
was admitted in the Tribune, by one of its cor
respondents, that Mr. Corwin, Secretary of the
Treasury, had made eighty thousand dollars, more
or less, by the sale of his interest, as agent or
counsel Of claims previous to bis induction into the
cabinet Mr.. Corwn is not the only ex-senator,
ex.Congressman, or member OF a cabinet, who has
made a fortune from the position he has held as
agent or counsel for Mexican or other claims.
In reference to the immense fraud on the govern

name Of the party would it not be well to come
on. openly, and give some intination as TO who he
Is, and how the commissioners, so eagle-eyed as
they are, we're deceived in the matter Innocent

ports Of the speeches delivered by Mr.. Fillmore,
Mr.. Webster, and other members Of the cabinet,
IN Virginia, where Mr.. Webster sill remains, and
which state Mr. Fillmore and some Of his cabinet

these speeches but they will be read with inter
