VIOLATION OF THE LAW BY THE POSTMASTER
GESERAL-We understand that the Postmaster
General at Washington has decided, contrary
to the Congressional statute, to give the Post
Office advertising to journal not possessing
the largest circulation Of any published in this
city. This decision is direct violation of the
law, which directs in plain and simple terms
that the Post Office advertisements shall be pub
lished in the journal whose circulation is the
largest. Two journals competed for the adver-
Using of the New York Office, and one Of the
two, the HERALD, proved by afidayits that it's
circulation exceeded that of its rival by some
ten thousand copies daily. Yet by some legal
bubble or subterfuge, the Postmaster here and
the Postmaster General at Washington decided
in favor of the latter. We have no remedy in
the present state of The executive at Washing
ton But we shall, at our earliest leisure, pre-
pare succinct and careful memorial to Con-
gress, setting forth the premises, and calling on
that body to review the law, and make such
amendments as may place it out of the power
of the Postmasters to violate its spirit, as it
seems they may nov do with impunity.

FORBES Rc.-Extract from Capt. A. G. FIetclors
letter of March 3d. after voyage to Liverpool in the c.
Grinnel -
IN answer to your leter of the 1st assure you that
nothing would induce TO have the rig changed had
the heaviest weather coming TO the westward that
experienced on the Atlantic and had chance to test 1t
Well My best canvass all my topsails rcefed and
set making FIVE topsailsand when this was too much
we had no trouble in taking in the upper topsais rs any
five men could stow them My opgallant sails can be
furcd by three at any time and generally by two
As proof of the satisfaction given by the rig to my
owners Mr. Cornelius Grinne has contracted for ship
of 700 tons TO have the rig proved the advan
tagcs Of the new rig hauling of from Sandy Hook in
snow storm which did under FIVE reefed topsails, my
fore and aft stormsals courses fured At midnight a
heavy gale furled the upper topsais with compare
lively no trouble Had the Ship been of the old RIG
should have hauled Oft under double reefed topsas and
during the night should have lost them MS nv conrade
did who hauled of at the time II was the worst
night ever saw. My pilot fell in love with the rig and
did the captains Of the wrecked ship brought home by
ne. Ono OF them, who the G. Grinnell fitting out
and then laughed az the rig says that lie win never
have anything else II he avoid It, II would do to
alter the Forbes rig and spoil t. and then condemn the
principle have doubt but that the underwriters OF
New York and Boston would have saved many large
losses If the ships had been fitted with the new rig and
ihhi many cases Of suffering among their might
have been avoided The great scarcity of seamen rem
aers IL more necessary to have the rig than ever

TONNAGE Duty ON AMERICAN ysssEs AT HONDURAS
We have seen a letter, dated Truxillo, January Is,
from Mr. T. Prudot consignee of the Boston brig Helen
Jane to the Collector of the Customs, demonstrating
against increased amount Of tonnage duty levied
that vessel II that Q new edict issued,
doubling The rates. and Mr. Pdot protests against pay
ment in this instance on the ground that the Helen
Jane was anchored in port thirtys hours pre-
vious TO the publication of the law Independently Of
the particular facts of the case, he believes that the
policy which would establish eight reals on foreign.
when there only four national tonnage is i'll al-
vised and that under the treaty of 1926 the shipping
OF North America-a country which has been
friendly towards Central America-s entitled to the
same privileges and exemptions native shipping.

BENEFIT CoNCERT.-On the 22d instant the
congregation Of Calvary church intend to give
benefit CONCERT to Madame Bouchelle, who has
been for the last three years the leading vocalist
Of their choir The efforts which are being made.
and the popularity Of Nine. Bouchelle would lead
one to suppose that the concert will be highly
successful. 1t viii be rcoollected that Madame
tnguished composers, VIM. Vincent Wallace;
and that she is known as possessing a very fine
and highly cultivated voice. She will have,
no doubt, bumper house. On the same
occasion, young lady of great promise as
vocalist, and pupil of Madame Bouchelles,
will make her debut in some duets with her
preceptress

MUSICAL INTEIIIGENcE-Everyo one has been
remarking the utter dearth of musical enter
tainments which has prevailed during the win
ter. We have had no opera, no concerts, no
leading artists here The theatres are open as
usual, and "Uncle Toms Cabin" old plays of
the Elizabethan era, and other shows have drawn
crowds but in musical art, the niger minstrels
been made. This state of things cannot last
long Two theatres each capable of containing
from three to five thousand persons, will be
opened in few months and several expedi-
tions have already gone out or been sent by
managers to Europe to procure the first talent
to commence an early season in both 1t is
stated that Mr. Corbyn has been in Europe for
some time, engaging novelties for Mr.. Niblo I;
we have heard nothing either Of the direction
or the success of his efforts Max Maretzek has
likewise gone to Europe it is supposed on ac-
count of Mr. Phelan for the new opera company.
His object, it is rumored, is to engage Nile
Cruvelli with some distinguished tenor and
basso, for that establishment. Mr.. Hackett is
still here aud it is stated that he still possesses
an engagement with Mario and Grisi but we
doubt much whether it will ever be fulfilled, as
Crisis age, her affection for her children,
and her aversion to the sea are likely to
induce her 10 look upon TRANSATLANTIC
engagement with great aversion. 1t is said
