An IMPORTANT TKEAsuRY DEClsIoN.

AN IMPORTANT TREAsURY DECISION.
Some time ago person, formerly a
postmaster, applied for the extra COM
missions with which he had been au-
thorized 10 credit herself in his returns
by the order Of the POsmarlcr General
bearing date July 8, lS45, Gin serar-
ate item in his account) The sum in
dispute was that necessary 10 make The
amount OF his compensation equal to the
amount received in the corresponding
quarter Of the prcvl us year. 1t was
contended by the then Auditor OF The
Treasury and the then Postmaster
general, that by his failure to credit
himself with this sum before going out
OF Office he had forfeited his righis 10 the
said extra commissions, although the
same were credited in his account by
The proper clerks in the Auditors office.
This position was ovrrruled on an ap-
peal by the claimant to the comptroller.
Some two or three thousand just such
claims have been PAID under this decl-
sion, and we presume tina! many more
OF those who were Postmastefs at small
offices when Postmaster General John
sons order Of July Q, lsI5, was made,
have like Just demands Oh the govern
ment, Of which they may not now be
aware.

SEA PEsTlLENcE. - The mortality
OF emigrants on ship.board, arriving at
this port, several weeks past, has been
lrightful. The annals OF the slave trade
with negroes packed like cord-wood,
can scarcely parallel the ravag,s death

ships. On Friday yesterday the ship
Constellation arrived, having lost 100
passengers from a total of 1916, with
wi ch she sailed from Liverpool on the
2lst sf October and 30 more we're so

yesterday, reports 33 dead.

record. What is The cause, and where

cholera shrink absolved before this

Discovery ORA CAVE IN CALTFoRsIA.
The Caleveras Chronicle gives the
particulars OF tic discovery oil curious
cave in the vicinity OF Vellecito. 1t ap-
pears that a Frenchman was at work
there at a considerable depth, and his
pick displaced rock, which laid bare
an entrance TO large cave. A party
afterwards descended and explored tho
subterranean apartments. Their report
is most astonishing. They assert that
at the depth Of about 100 feet, they
came upon collection Of over 300 bo-
dies, perfectly petrIfed that the hall
contained an immense number Of stall
acti'es, some Of which rested on and
were incorporated with the bodies.

strength and spirit, rich in deeds but
weak IN words, carried his lie, during
which he was exposed to great care aud
fatigue, TO the age Of l20. But he even
