Whitney, and Lamar, Postmaster General
Villas, and Colonel Lamont, left Washing
ton this afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock for New
York.
The Internal. Revenue Bureau has modi-
fed the regulations as TO the manner OF pack
ing cigarettes. so that hereafter the number
Of the mandatory, the number Of the dis
tnct, the State, and the number OF cigar
cites in each box may be printed on the
box or on label affixed to the box, instead
of being stamped, indented, burned, or
impressed " thereon, as formerly required.
There has sprung up within The last few
months an Unprecedented demand for
minor coin in the form OF five and ten-ccnt
pieces. the stock Of which, up to the time
tins demand began, was in the several
United states repositories redundant. This
surplus has all been put into CirculltiOn,
and the mint at Philadelphia, which alone
executes minor coin, is doing its utmost 10
supply the demand, its capacity being lin
tied by the statutory coinage Of silver dol
lars. The popular demand for small coin
is row ahead some $4,000 for i've and
one-ccnt pieces alone.
The Secretary Of The Treasury has given
authority for the issue OF whatever proves
to he wanted, and It is anticipated that the
work now in hand will result speedily in
supply ing all that may be required. Mean
while orders upon the superintendent OF
the Mint at Philadelphia, in accordance
with the circular issued by the Bureau OF
the Mint September 10, 1856, will be filed
IN the order Of application.
