Sir i have to acknowledge the receipt Of
your letter, of the 9th ultimo, requesting an
explanation of the charge imposed upon Il let
ter addressed to Mrs -, Smyrna, Delaware,
and, in reply, have to inform you that said
letter has been forwarded to, and examined by
this Department, and found to have been in
sufficiently prepaid by the sender, and for
warded to this country by the British Post
Department charged as wholly unpaid, and
credit claimed thereon accordingly.
Under the provisions of our Postal COnven-
ton with Great Britain, insufficient pre- pay
ment of postage Is not recognized, and such
letters as are short paid are therefore necessa-
ry forwarded as if wholly unpaid, and charged
upon delivery with the tull amount of postage
to which an unpaid letter of the same weight
would be subject.
The L. S. and British postage chargeable
upon letter between this country and the
British East Indies via Southampton, is 81
! cents the single rate Of half All ounce or frac
! tion thereof; and, as the letter in question ex
cccds the weight of half an ounce it wa
properly charged with G6 cents postage, pay
able in coin or its equivalent.
L have to add that upon unpaid letters re
ceivcd from foreign countries, with which "
have concluded postal conventions, an addi
| tional amount, equal TO the difference between
the current market value of coin and Unite,
States notes, is levied by express authority 0

Similes-GrOtesque and Comical.

A grotesque simile is sometimes very express
sivo We may mention that Of Daniel Web
ster who lkencd the word would, in Rufus
Choat' handwriting, to a small gridirOn struck
by lightning of sailor, who likened gen
teman whose face was covered with WhiSkers
up to his very eyes, to rat peeplng out OF a
bunch of oakum of u Western reporter, who
in a weather item On "a cold day, said that the
sun 5 rays, in the effort to thaw the ice, were
as futile as the dull reflex of Il painted yellow
dog; and Of conductor who, in discussion
as to speed, said that the last time he ran his
engine from Syracuse the telegraph poles on
the side looked like fine tooth comb.
Smiles Of like character are often heard
among the common people, and are supposed
to be the peculiar property of Western orators.
Instance As sharp as the little end OF moth
ing; big as all outdoors it strikes me like Il
thousand Of bricks; slick as grease or as
creased lightning melancholy as a Quaker
meeting by moonlight; fiat as a founder
quick as wink; not enough to make Cruel
for sick grasshOpper; not clothes enough to
wad gun; as limp and Timber an india
rubber stove pipe; uneasy as a cat in strange
garret; not strong enough to haul brOiled
Goldfish off a gridiron; after you like a rat
terrier after chipmonk SQUIRREL useless as
whistling psalms to a dead horse no more
than grasshOpper wants an apron; don t
make the difference of the shake of a frog 5
tail soul bobbing up and down i'll the bosom
like crazy pOrpoise i'll pond of red-h0t
grease; enthusiasm bois over like bottle of
gingerpOp; as impossible to penetrate his
head as to bore through Mont Blanc with a
boiled carrot as impossible as to ladle the
ocean dry with clam shell or suck the Cult
of Mexico through goose quill or to stuff
butter in wildcat with a hot awl or for a
shad to swim up shad pole with fresh
mackeral under each arm; or for a cat to run
up stove-ppe with tcasel tied to his tail
or for a man to lift himself over a fence by the
straps of his boots. A simile resembling these
was us ed by Lady Montague when getting i'm
patient in a discussion with Fox, size told him
she did not care three skips Of louise for him.
He replied i'll few minutes with the following:
"Lady Montague told me, and in her own house,
L do not care for you three Skips of a louise,
| forgive her, for woman, however well bred
Will still talk Of that which runs most in their
huad.
There is another class of SMILES scarcely
as pertinent, as, tor instance, straight as a
ram 5 horn; it will melt in your mouth like a
red hot brickbat talk to him like Il Dutch
uncle; smiling as a basket Of chips; odd as
Dick hatband; happy as a clam at high water;
quicker than you can say Jack Robinson; like
all possessed like fury; like all natur' like
