AMERICAN CUTENESS.  The American Government have dealt in • very summary manner with the postman Barfield, who is accused of having stolen from the Mountpleasant depot, Clerkenwell, • package containing notes and gold worth E4OO, addressed Co Messrs. Cook and Sons, the well-known tourist agents. At the request of the English Foreign Office Barfield was arrested a few days ago when he landed at Boston. He gave up to the American police all the money in his possession, amounting to about 1,700d01. His es. tradition was demanded by the British Government; depositions were pre; ared by Mr. Mclnt}re, on behalt of the Postmaster-General, and 11-tmtive Johnson, of the General Poet Office, was deputed to go to Boston to bring the prisoner back.
