NOTICE TO U. s. MAIL CONTRACTORS.
AND THE PUBLIC.

AND THE PUBLIC.
AUDrToRs OFFICE, Posr OFFICE DEPARTMENT.,
NoUe0l5er /, 1853.
TT HAS LONG BEEN THE PRACTICE
j of this Office TO pay the drafts drawn and nego-
tated by contractors for carrying the United
States mails, for the amounts, respectively oil their
quarterly pay. II was established TO accommo-
date the contractors and meet their necessities, in
advance of the regular and slower process of pay
ing by the drafts or warrants Of the department.
and was intended only TO apply TO one dyah per
route from each contractor for the srtok amount,
(deducting fines collections, &c., of his quarterly
pay; but il has been, and is quite generally so
misunderstood, as 10 be supposed 10 allow any
number of drafts, and for any amount not exceed
ingin the aggregate, the contract pay for the quar-
ter. A privilege conceded for accommodation Qor
it was never anything more) has thus been made
TO embarrass materially the business of this Office,
forced upon il the settlement of the private ac-
counts of contractors, and thrown upon the ex,
changes OF the country, with quasi sanction oil
this Office, species OF paper currency unauthor-
ICED by the laws.
II not unfrequently occurs, too, that this Office is
exposed TO great and unnecessary risk IN deter
mining upon the genuineness of the signatures to
the assignments or endorsements OF the various
persons through whose hands these drafts are
made 10 pass before their presentations
II is therefore deemed proper TO give this public
notice to contractors and all concerned, that from
and after the LIST day of January, 1854, but one
draft for the pay upon each route per quarter will
be paved or filed for payment, in this office. This
draft should state upon its face that t IS the only
one for the quarter aud the route both 10 be spec-
fed on which il is drawn; and the signature there
10 should be aftested by tie postmaster at the place
,chere may be dydson, and one other scitRess; and
each assignment thereof should BE- atteSed By t,co

ExpIosion.--Ye Yesterday afternoon between one
and two o'clock, great excitement was occasioned
in the Washington navy-yard by the explosion Of
a steam boiler in the finishing machine-shop. The
brick and iron work in proximity TO the engine
was torn from its foundation and one OF the walls
Of the shop much shattered Fortunately, but few
persons were at the time in The immediate vicin-

named Charles King, received confusion in the
head from flying fragment, and was seriously
scalded. Another person was slightly injured

coverably buried in the tomb of the Committee on

Love and INTERCHANGEABLE the p

Love and Embezzlement.--In the police
court yesterday afternoon Elizabeth Ebert was
charged with embezzling sos in bank bills, the
property of Lewis DATE. II appeared from the ev-
idencc that DATE was partially engaged in mar
riage to the defendant, and deposited $40 with
her on the Nth ut 1926 of which she was to
place in the savings bank 10 his account, and to
return him handbook acknowledging its recep-
ton. This he has several times asked for, but re-
ceved evasive answers. She, however, never de-
MED having the money. Recently she has refused
to marry Datz, and he, in consequence, brings a
suit against her for the recovery of the money.
In defence, il was alleged that DATE owed Mrs.
Ebert some 1887, well as various other par
ties other sums, for the payment Of which an
assignment Of his property had been made, and
that this money had been unlawfully kept
back from the said assignment She had only re-
ceived SS7 of her debt, and held on to this by
way of indemnfcation. Justice Russell decided
that the case was not within the jurisdiction OF
the court, and Mrs. Ebert was held in 500 for
trial at the municipal court. Their love appears
TO have entirely disappeared, each party de-
clared he or she would not marry the other The
examination was wholly rich affair.
