Il has already been stated that the city has in
the Mechanics Bank sum derived from taxes,
somewhere between seven hundred thousand
and million Of dollars 1t is likewise notori-
GUS that various parties and interests have
claims on the city amounting in all to some
thing like four or five hundred thousand dol
lars, which Mr.. Comptroller Flagg refuses to
pay on some pretext or other.
It would be well if the Mayor would inquire
AS he has a right to do in virsue Of his Office
whether the Mechanics Bank has or has not
made large loans TO q Western railroad? Wneth-
er Mr.. Comptroller Flagg does or does not hold
some Office connected with Western railroad
And if these two queries be answered in the
affirmative, whether the railroad to which the
Mechanics Bank has lent money be or be not
the one with which Comptroller Flagg isso con-
nected
If the Mayors other occupations do not leave
him time to investigate this interesting subject,
the questions might be put by any member Of
the Board of Councilmen.

Post Once Observation-Disclosures Decision
OF the Postmaster In Favor of the Herald.

Post Office Advertisements-ORciaI Decision
OF the Postmaster In Favor Of the Herald.
We have received a copy of the late official
decision of the Postmaster Of this city, who has
at last made up his mind that the advertise
ments Of the uncalled for letters lying at the
Post Office shall, for the future, be given to
this paper. This decision establishes in an OFF,
cial manner the otherwise well understood fact,
that the New YORK HERALD has the largest daily
circulation of any journal in this city, and con-
sequently the largest of any in the Union. We
are even warranted in going further, and sta
ting from returns now lying before us, that it
possesses the most extensive circulation Of any
first class daily newspaper throughout the civil
LIKED world, not even excepting the London
Times and the Paris Constitutional, both OF
which papers have wide circulation in Eng
land and France, and indeed over the whole
continent of Europe.
The competitors in this contest for the Post
Office advertisements. which has now been
going on for several weeks back, were the New
York Sun, which originally enjoyed a mono
POLY of them, the New York Times, and the
Sunday Dispatch. AT one time, the Sun,
being cheap penny paper, possessed lar
ger daily circulation than the HERALD. That
advantage has, however, long since passed
away from il. The establishment of the Daily
Times, in which upwards of 100000 have been
sunk, has, singularly enough, caused the circu
lation of the Sun to decrease within the last
two or three years to most extraordinary ex-
tent, although the former journal, notwithstand-
ing its vast expenditure, has never succeeded in
arriving at paying point. The Sun may
therefore be said to be on its decline, whilst the
Daily Times has proved such drain upon
the financial resources OF its owners that one of
its original proprietors and founders, Mr.. II. j..
Raymond, is about to withdraw from a career
for which ne was never very eminently fitted

fact, mere. bagateile, and depends almost
entirely uIpon the prosperity Of it's weekly
issue. The experience Of newspapers in
New York, however elbows that the success Of
weekly journals can never be other than Of q
mere temporary character. None OF the smaller
daily newspapers Of the city, such as the Ear
press, entered the lists Of competition. Their
circulation, both in and out of the city, is 30
limited, that they felt it would have been use
less. This selection of the New YORK HERALD,
after repeated trials, therefore, establishes Off
cially and conclusively the fact of its having
larger circulation than that OF any other daily
newspaper throughout the Union. During the
past year its daily circulation varied for consid
cradle period from so, 900 to &C, 000 and on many
occasions during that time it exceeded 10000.
After the present dull season, when the APP
proach Of spring will give fresh impetus to
commercial operations, and when the new and
startling issues to which the social and political
revolution, now busily at work amongst us, is
giving birth, are brought fairly before the pub
nc by the preparations for the next Presidential
campaign, we have no doubt that our circula-
ton will exceed the highest point that it has as
yet reached, and will even attain 100000 aday,
if we can succeed, by improvements in our ma
chinery, in obtaining the facility of furnishing
our paper to those who require it served before
certain hour in the morning.
