Some doubt has been entertained TO the right
sructon OF the postage law which went into effect
the first OF this month. There some doubt as TO the
proper meaning 10 be attached the expression tran

but we have no idea that Congress intended TO enact
law which would bear the construction which the Post
Office Department has placed the late law. That
suction may be gathered from the following letter, ad

Shameful Conduct.

'ooatheyn ittghks Men" Subscribing for.
and circulating, Abolition Newspapers =
It was charged sometime since bv the I'm
ion papers Of Mississippi, that the Southern
Rights Association of Kinds county in tina,
State had forwarded money to the North
for subscriptions to abolition and other in
cendiary newspapers, in order to circulate
them gratuitously in that county, and thus
affect public opinion We learn from the
Kinds county Gazette ofthe Sd instant,
that Mc documents hare ayrired! That
paper says:
On the 9th ult., the first lot of theincen
diary and seditious documents ordered by
the Southern Rights Association ofHinds
county reached the Post office in this CT
ty. 1t consists ofseven copies of the Bos-
ton Emaacipator and Commonwealth, all
OF the same volumne, number and date,
showingthat the Association has subscrib-
ed for seren copies, equal to 1854 papers du-
ring the year. The bundle is addressed
to one of the Secretaries of the associa-
ton.
The Emanc1pator has the reputation Of
being the most violent and INSCRIPTIONS
abolition incendlary paper in the country
-tceming with shameful and villainous
aspcrsions upon southern character, south
ern institutions and southern rights. Iti
a seditious and inAammatory paper to all
intents and purposes, and calculated to do
much injury TO morals among whatever
people itmay circulate.
Upon this the Natchez Courier, with
just indignation exclaims: as not this
beautiful spectacle, and will it not open
the eyes ofall honest and good men as to
the dangerous character ofthat revolution
airy movement, which, not content with vo-
ting with abolllionism, abusing what abo-
htionism abuses, and striving for what alb
oltlonism strives, now shows its true char
ac;er IN circulating abolition documents. I"

Our Meet MNrlket-the Common
CMmmCfn

AT the rss1ue Of being considered too
forward | take the liberty Mr.. Editor to
call the attention ofthe people, and particu-
larly the Council, to the present condition
ofour Meat Market, as well as the exorbi-
tant, ard l mightalso say, extortionate pri-
, ces we have to pay to Butchers 10 cents
apound) for Mutton, Lamb, Beet, Veal &c,
some of which is very far from being No.
l, at that; and that too, while these extor-
TONERS on the necessities of the people, are
as grinding in the prices they now give
for those meats on the foot, If not more so
than when these same kinds of meats were
sold, from 4, to G cts. per lb, thus making
at least 100 per cent on the outlay Of this
money, for few days only at time, and
the principle reason why this extortion and
monopoly is permitted and endured is that
there is not the necessary facilities, and
convcnienccs, provided by the clerk Of the
Market, for the Cutting up, and weighing
fresh meats brought there from the Coun-
try, and by families in Town, who may
have nice fat Vcals, Shoats &c, for sale,
and which they would kill and retail at the
Market house, pre- ided there were public
scales and weights, knife and cleaver kept
there by the clerk Of the Market, for that
purpose. tits but reasonable too, that these
convcmences should be provided by the
Council, inasmuch, as all Fresh meats other
than such as are sold by the regular liccn-
scd Butchers have topay from o to SO cts.
per Head for selling and that too for mere
ly selling them at, or in the Market house
without the use even of knife, saw, or clca-
yer, to cut it up for the accommodation of
retail customers, and owing to which we
have seen meat Of the best quality, from
the Country, most miserably hacked in
trying to get of such piece as was wan
ted.
Then we would earnestly recommend
to the Council that inasmuch as we have u
clerk of the Market TO pay any how, that
he be instructed to provide Block, or
strong table for the accommodation Of tran
sicnt marketing of this kind with the neces-
sary carving implcments,anda box to keep
them locked up in, to be let out at Market
hours.
With these convcmences provided, may
it please the Council, we are induced to be-
lievc, that our Market would become bet
ter supplied with all kinds Of good Meats
and at more reasonable prices.

A Church Rightly Named.

The pews in Calvary Church N. York,
were lately sold at auction for forty thou
sand dollars, and it is said that the society
in addition to salary of five thousand dol
lars per year has given its Rector fifteen
thousand dollars, furnished parsonage
house and insured his life to the amount of
ten thousand dollars.
This church is rightly named; it was at
Mt Calvary that the body of Christ was
crnci6cd; and at this New York Calvary,
this mountain Of pride and sin, he is "cruci-
fed afrcsh and put to open shame"
Just think of Christ with little band OF
humble fishermen going up and down the
world doing good, without where to lay
his head, preaching from fishing boats "a
mong the poor, the sick and the afflicted,
gathering grain and rubbing it out Oft
chaff with his hands 10 appease his hunger,
eating with the poor, tarrymg at night with
popularity, despiscd, hated, reviled, perse-
cuted, without salary, asking none, yet
continuing to do good even to his enemies,
and in his last breath asking forgiveness for
those who nailed him to thetrce-.just think
Of him and His humble cause through pow
erty and abuse, and then think of Rt Rev.
DIR. Hawks of N. Y, the protested disciple
of this lowly master, in his forty thousand
dollar church with present of fifteen thou
sand dollars in his pocketand yearly sala-
ry Of FIVE thousand more! with his life en-
sured at gambling house to the amount
of ten thousand, that should he die, his
family may live in idlencss and not starve
to death in the bosom ofhis beloved church.
Verify if this be the religion of Jesus, it has
wonderfully changed since first preached
en- the mountains and the sea side, cieh-
teen hundred years ago.-Cn. Noaparea.

o'clock, p. M. I
Authentic Information has been received
by the Government authorizes here that
large numbers of men have assembled al
Mobile, Apalachicola, Savannah, and other
cities South, for the purpose Of embarking
in the expedition against the Island of Gu
ba.
Among these persons, it is ascertained
there are considerable numbers ofHunga-
rianrefugees, recently arrived in the United
Statesmen who have had an extensive
experience in war, Of late, and who there
fore were expected to make first rate SOL
diers.
This information has created no little stir
here, but the general opinion seems to be
that if Cuba is invaded, the invaders should
not rendezvous upon the soil OF the United
States, if the Administrations at Washington
can prevent il.
SpanisA Minister aid U. S. authorities.
The Spanish Minister has had a long in
terview with the President, in relation to
the meditated attack upon Cuba. The Sc
cretary Of War and the Secretary of the
Navy were sent for, and remained during
the interview. 1t is known, that parties
are organised at different points, for the
purpose of invading the island, and every
preparation has been made by the authorii-
ties OF the United States to intercept them
as soon as they commit themselves by en-
barking for this purpose. In addition to
instructions to the Marshal and other Off
GERS, the vessels Of the Home Squadron
have been ordered to cruise in such wav
as to render any attempt to reach Cuba, al
most, If not wholly impossible.

A correspondent of the Courier des
Etats Unis," dated Paris, March 81, 1851,
contains, among other items, the following
interesting fact:
"a few days ago the steeplc of the
Church of Larignac, Department of the
Lot, was carried away by the fall Of an
@rolite, which shone brilliantly under the
rays of the sun. The Academy of Sci
ences, informed of this event, appointed
a committee of three persons specially
charged with studying the nature of this
remarkable erolite. A first examination
appears to establish that the matter of dia-
mond predominates in the gangue of this
celestial body, which is part schistus and
ammoniacal. This meteoric substance is a
novelty, and has not yet been comprised
by philosophers in their scientific classical
items"
