OF the paper the effect that the Postmaster Gene
raj has sued an order thai the letters and documents
sent through the Post Office from CalifIrnis, by
Messrs Page Bacon g. Co., 10 Messrs. Duncan, Sher-
man a. CO. should be taken from the mail, aad dslv'
cred 70 the assignee Of the former house We notice
this assertion not 10 enter into the dispute but 70
make correction Of the idea conveyed by IL 10 t7a
particulars And first, il would imply that Messrs.
Duncan. Sherman & Co had declined of their
free viii 10 transfer the account Of Messrs Page, Bs
con g. Co With the letters and documents arriving
from California, whereas we know that on tbs 18TH
nst they solicited such transfer, and made personal
exerrions to facilitate the new arrangement. Ana
teoond we cannot assent to the right of the Postnas-
ter General to order such delivery of letters without
the consent Of the person TO whom they are addressed
unless upon judicial process. Such delivery is fr.
auently ordered to serve the ends OF Justice by post
masters and special agents OF the Department, out
always at their own peril 10 this case no such order
was necessary, because Messrs Duncan. Sherman ~
Co. not only assen'ed to the arrangement, but we're
anxious 10 be relieved of the charge Of the whole
business Jour OF commerce.
The above action of the Postmaster General has
largely attracted the attention Of the mercantile cir.
Giles and we understand the subject is to be brought
before the Chamber Of Commerce, and possibly, to
the after ton Of Congress. 1t is generally looked
upon as a mischie decision, especially as made
upon er pa,t e testimony and which, in other cases.
might open the door to stupendous frauds.

DISTURBANCE AMONG THE LoSGsHoRE1LS.-A
disturbance occurred yesterday near Pier No. g.,
North River, which for a time threatened to be
serious. 1t appears that number of 'Lonsshoremen
being dissatisfied with arrangements that had been
made for dschareing the canal-boa Sultan, and the
lakeboat Gov Fish, they assaulted The laborers on
/ each and VIM. Chopper, enc of them, was knocked
down and tramped upon by party OF fifteen or
twenty who threatened by their actions, to kill him
Information was sent TO the Office Of the Chief of
Police, and posse of men were dispatched TO the
Pier; but before their arrival the Longthoremen had
decamped. One of them, named Psrick Hearney,
was arrested after and identified as the person
who fret attacked Clspper. He was locked up by
Justice Connolly to answer charge OF assault aud
battery and riot.
