fFrom thr N. Z. Post :

Further inquiry into the matter has de-
veloped the following particulars !;
The account ,as adjusted up to March
31st, 1860, exhibit q balance Glnc cthc Post
Office department of Sl05.UO0. Tic de-
| ficit, If there be any, from the lst of April
to Saturday, the 18th, at which ,itne Nc.
H. St. George Offutt, OF the Auditors de-
partment, took charge Of the otii'ic, c';'nc
! be fully asCertaincd until tho transcripts .!
the mnils sent and received, and ihe poStHi
business have been fully made up, ami sent
to the Post Office department for examin"-
tion and adjustment.
The payments of the accruing revenue
of the office are required by law to be
made weekly nt the Sub-Treasury, and
certificates Of deposits are TO be forward
ed to the Finance Office of the department,
as they are given. The account current
and transactions showing the postal husl-
ness and revenues, are al.o forwarded to
that office at the end of each fiscal quar-
ter. Mr. Fowler has in the mere form
complied with the regulation, having al
ways made his regular weekly deposits,
but the recent Investigations have shown
that they were, in many instances, far
short of the amount collected and due
This fact did not excite suspicion, as the
business of the Office must necessarily
fluctuate, and there being difference in
the nett proceeds between the various
quarters, in some cases exceeding $50, 900.
1t appears, from his accounts ut the
Post Office, that prior to the lst of 0ctO-
bcr, 1853, his settlements were fnil and
satisfactory. AT that time there was. a
balance in his favor of S4,lGl. The defal-
cation, or the greater part of it, has prob
ably occurred within year.
Fowlers friends telegsaphed to Wash
ington, on Saturday, requesting the au-
thuritics there to forbear their prosecutions
until be might be able to make good his
deficiency, but they, seized with sudden
zeal for public probity, would not delay.
Although they have known of these defal-
cations for long time, it was not till last
week that they deemed it necessary to ex-
pose the criminal.

The chronological Characteristic OF
.SayerRs

The PhfenOAO8lcaA ShhFaSteEAStAS "a
.SayerS.
Mr.. Frederick Bridges, phrenologist OF
Liverpool, has examined Tom Sayers's
head. and publishes the following mani
Iesto thereon:
uThe excitement that Saycrs has caused
by his visit to this town, shows that brute
courage has great number of admirers.
In II scientific point of view, felt anxious
to see whether he came up to the true
geological rank Of the professional fight
ing man. For many years 1 have made
this class study, and ] have invariably
found that those who were the most noted
for brute courage had contignration OF
brain of spcciul type. Tom Sayers' de-
yelopment shows how faithful nature Is to
herself. not only in the formation of his
brain, but in that of his physical system.
His temperament shows a close, compact,
dense, tough, enduring, elastic organiZa-
ton; no way bulky, but indicating that
compqctness and texture of muscle winch
so distinguish the fine, compact muscle OF
the rnce-horse from that of the draught
horse. Indeed, his physiological char
actertsttcs show mingled vivacity and ca
pability for continued eXertion. His COM
plexion is very uncommon, ,cXceptamongst
the gipscys-it is kind of red-olive color.
The expression of his features is lively,
showing animal Vfyacityi the eye quick
and deep, but there is nothing oi the men
tai expression in his flce. The formation
of his head is strikinglymarked. 1t is mar
row IN the regions of the reflective tacul-
| ties and idenlity, and gradually goes wider
backward to combativeuess, and rises
high in the region of firmuess, self esteem
land love of appreciation. Indeed his very
large comhativeness, self-esteeu, love of
Iapprobation and frmness, give plnck aud
bulldog courage aud the ambition to be
the most distinguished in the display OF
those qualities
"The peculiar courage displayed by
Sayers appears to be much admired ny
versions in all ranks of life, but moments
reflection will show that the courage he
manifested in the late fight was nothing
more than the same kind of pluck and
courage which is displayed by the bull
dog and game-cock. There was nothing
moral in it, because those qualities OF the
| mind that distinguish human being from
| the brute are averse to all such conflicts.
| "FnEDrnlCK BRIDGES,
"Author of fPhrenology Made Practical"
/ FLowER1Se P1ANTs.-A gentleman who
has been remarkably successful in propo-
eating towering plants, and especially tue
more tender kind of green house plants,
gives the following account of his meth
cd:
aMv material is brick dust-the refuse
! of the kiln after burning--or what may be
made by taking soft bricks and pounding
them up. Enough may be had at any
brick yard for mere tritle to last great
| whiIc-hut think the fresher it is the bet
tier. For those plants more difficult to
root. such as laDhenes, heaths, cape jesa-
mines. etc. fill shallow cutting pots en-
tirelv with brick dust, Except about an
/ inch at the bottom, which is filed with
coarse Jumps of bricks, to secure good
drainage) For plants that root more
easily, I use half brick dust and half san
dy loarn."

Extraordinary ShOOtlng-AnOther
American Champion.

The ST. Louis Bui!etin, of May 9TH, has
an account of the various exploits of IL
sharp-shooter in that city, and thus relates
one Of them;
Mr.. Whitehead first made few shots at
n target with rife and ball, boring hole
directly through the centre every time
He then stationed man at the distance of
ten PAGES, and shot at half dollar, which
the person held between the thumb and
finger of his hand, hitting the piece of
money in the centre, and knocking it out
two or three times. The crowning feature
of the performance was, however, to come.
Mr.. T. F. Lennox stationed himself at a
distance of ten PAGES, and placed com
mon-sized lemon on the top of his head
Whitehead took pistol and aimed at the
fruit The ball entered fairly in the CEN
trc, and cut the lemon in two. We would
not forget to mention that Mr. Lennox, on
whose head the lemon was, stood with
arms folded, and coolly smoked his pipe.
Had he moved an inch, or had the skill of
Whitehead failed, his soul would have
hecn sent instantly into eternity. We
scarcely know whom to admire the most,
Lennox for his intrepidity, or the marks
man for his skill. We think Mr.. Fred.
Whitehead is justly entitled to the cha
pionslip among marksmen, and unless
some Que can surpass him, he will claim it.

The most Important Discovery since

Vaccination.
 DR. HANsoNs VHG ETABLE CHEMICAL POWDERS will break up colds at once, without sweating. stimulating and burning compounds, herb teas, candies, basans or any other disagreeable, incon, venient and nauseating doses they do not cause the least unpleasant symptoms-even if taken in large doses, they create only thirst, which be- ing allayed with water, an agreeable warmth and moisture at the surface is soon experienced. When taken as directed, they break up the cold and ar rest its effects, and the only operation perceived is a mysterious and unlavorable disappearance of all symptoms as fnvershness, chills, lameness, dartng pains dull heavy pains, tlghtness of the chest, hoarseness, cough, sore throat, croup, ca tsrrh, headache, &c.
 7he Vegetable GhsmioI Founders are to colds what Vaccination is against Small Pox and Quinnc fol Ague. They are specific remedy tor the proven ton and cure of specific disease. And by break ing colds with them the system is not weakened and deranged and rendered more subject to re- speatel attacks but is rather strengthened and fos tiied against them. They arrest croup instant ly and permanently and by their timely use. coughs, caturrh, bronchitis, levers, rheumatism, throats, consumption, and all diseases prima- riy excited by colds, can be banished from among the people.
