The city has, been divided into walks of convenient size, with reference to business and extent of territory. On each of these there will be two carriers, who will divide the walk between them' for the despatch of busi ness at the principal mail deliveries, but at other times the whole with may be attended by either one of the carriers. The sub-offices will be open daily (except Sunday,) from 7 A:bd. until 7,4 P. N., and on Sunday from to 9 A. AL, and from 2 toll P. N. Stamps can be procured at all of the subninces; and lettere prepaid and deposited for the mails the same es at the principal office: - 11 - Letters to be 4 $ registered" must be taken to the Central or principal office, 117 Advertised letters cannothe delivered at the sub offices, but at the principal office only, as at present. Wherever the city '. Is spoken of In this advertise ment, it should be understood to mean the part; com pactly built up, except Kensington and Richmond, each of which has a Poet Office of its own. The Kensington Postmaster has 'mad) such arrangements as will make his district confute, in all particulars, to this system. ' , The charges for the delivery of city lettere will bo the ammo', therefore, in the Kensington district as in other parts of the city, via, two rents will pay for a letter to and from Kensington. - , The system is to be put operation on Tuesday, December lit. A' Bet of the places where United States Mall bops are located will be published in a few days. ' Like every invasion of an old routine, in a vast estab lishment like the Post Office, this change may create some temporary embarrassment, and net work perfectly for a few days or weeks. It may, therefore, require some short indulgence from the public. No effort, how, ever, will - be spared on my part to secure the perfect working of a system which experience elsewhere has shown to be so beneficial to the public; and which I have no doubt will soon be regarded here also as a great progress in postal business. I respectfully ask the co-operation of the citizens of Philadelphia in behalf of the new system. ,noSO-St , QIDECN 4. WEBTOOTT, Postmaster. FOR SRERIFE OXUS B.

ElleVrtso, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2,1867. :t THE ATLANTIC CABLE. • The original plan of laying down the Atlan:43-, tic Cable, by depositing it on the plateau 0; '';. which the ocean-waters ebb and flow, has fails4,"' so far, and though the experiment will be ,rat r .. peated, next year, there . are many doubts Ai) its success. Under such circumstances, thertii, can be no harm, at all events, in entertaintaidl some of the suggestions thrown out by practil cal or scientific men. We therefore subM, .` as a suggestion, liable to objection and 01 cession, a plan which has been brought and 5 , our notice, and certainly, if practical:Oa, 'fait, many advantages. It arose out of a convoratt tion between a lieutenant of the United Ste* Navy, and an English gentleman, ylit Is, ill, business in this State. The Cabie, it is evident, must have tve() mini—onehas been determined upon at Valelo tie, in the South of Ireland, the other at SA John's, Newfoundland. We Will take St! John's and Valentia as tho two points to' Connected by the Sub-Atlantic magnetic Gabler Instead of laying down the cable on the teen of the Atlantic, with its great variationli, of depth, it is suggested to place it suspend 4 in the ocean, at an uniforth dfstartce 'or deptlt of forty feet below the inarfllce:.:T,hllo4; tance, it is assnmed t vicathil' , bo .- ,deciketiotig4- 7 1m1O! the Chance of inierterefice or agy•,kll4l from sailing ;vessels or steamers. The manner of suspending the cable Is the difficulty. Our friends suggest that a scrim!. Of buoys, each at the uniform distance of half or even quarter of a mile, should be pineal :1i such communication with the submerged cab* as to support it, all through, at the requl depth. Thus the Ocean highway, etral across from shore to shore, would ac be indicated to the eye. A small fl. tached to each of the buoys would snMe attract attention, and point out the lino telegraphic communication to all vessels • the vicinity. It is contended, also, that by means buoys, any defect in the telegraphic wire readily be pointed out, and easily reined repaired. Nothing would be easier ti ascertain where the hitch lay, and the locality discovered, to raise the lino at quired point and repair, or renew it, Each buoy would have to be ilumbered,, at, no matter how unsuitable the are stances for taking the neeossary obeervati a vessel which arrived at any buoy, • enough to establish its identity, could e her place at sea readily ascertainedt7 ,of exactly, perhaps, for wind and tide xi •:1 - r ;be expected to carry the buoys occasiu4:" low or above the exact latitude; but a vesiel in distress, unable to ascertain where she Was, coming in view of one of these buoys, would be enablmlto form a generally accurate idea of the latitude and longitude into which 'she might have drifted or been driven. The' charts, of course, would have to he improved by the addition of the buoyed line aortas, with the number of_ each buoy marked upon it, for the purpose of identification. Another advantage might result from this project. Each buoy should itself be in magne tic communication with the lino whit& it helped to sustain. If each ocean-stein:ter carried with her a galvanic battery, nothing would be easier, it is submitted, than; on reaching ono of these buoys, to establibh a communication with either terminus. 14tui, her exact position at sea, at any particular day, hour, and minute, could be transmitted" to Yolanda, or St. John's, or to both'placas—r tiler country she had loft and. that for wiltic. she was bound. In tho case of any accident, the advantage of this would be immense, for a steamer could communicate its its requirements, and its latitude and longi tude, at the time of making such intimation, so as to supply some idea of the quarter to which aid should be despatched, if such aid were necessary. The saving of expense would he great, as, instead of between three and four thousand miles of telegraphic cable, not more than about seventeen hundred miles in length would be required—a little more, in fact, than tho dis tance from land to land in a direct line. Ono objection to this plan, ingenious as it certainly is, arises oven while we thus endeavor to make it as clear to our readers as it has been made to our own mind by the two projectors. The objection is simply this considering the great stress to which the cable must occasion. ally be liable, front the pressure of wind and wave upon the buoys, (and on the wire through the buoys,) the question arises, whore can there be obtained a power sufficiently great to bind the cable to the two termini, so as to 're sist the tremendous pressure which thus may be brought against it. The pressure, too, in stead of being simultaneous and steady—as in the case of a current running in one way— would sometimes act by jerks. Tho motion of the buoys, caused by wind and wave, would not be simultaneous, as ono buoy would be on the crest of a wave while another would bo in the trough. Thus the action would vary, and be worse for the cable, almost, than if the pres sure were steady. What power can bind the cable to the termini How can tho telegraphic cable be made so strong that it will not snap under the force to which it may be subjected? Other objections will naturally be suggested by other minds, and we shall be happy to re ceive them—provided that those who make them will study terseness, as the columns of a newspaper are limited. We have thought the suggestion hero explained, worthy of no tice, and shall be glad to learn that it NA awakened interest. The seed of something truly great may lie undeveloped in this pro position. PALMEItSTON vs. THE PEOPLE. There is a silver lining to the darkest cloud: At this moment Lord PALMERSTON must feel one little consolation in the Indian mutiny— like Aaron's serpent, it swallows up every other public subject. It will afford a plausible excuse for postponing, for another year, at least, that Reform Bill which PALUERSTON promised to introduce and carry through Parliament in 1818. This promise, given early.in 1857, was intended to prevent, and actually did prevent, any other statesman from introducing such a measure. Those who knew Pwcasrox well, smiled at his Ingenuity, and knew that ho would not keep his word. By rank, station, and principle, Lord PALNIERSTOR is essentially an aristocrat. But lie attbcts to be the friend of Democracy. Re has been over half a century in public life, and for the first five-and-twenty years was a rank Tory. Ile will concede nothing to the People, it he can help it. The Timer newspaper, which backs him at present, has strongly declared—either as his mouth-piece or his champion—that, while India occupies the public mind, matters more urgent and important than electoral re form " are on the Tho British people desire live things, all which have long been in admirable practice in this very Pennsylvania of ours. They are : that the Legislature be chosen for a much shorter term than seven years—that every citizen shall have a vote--that the electoral districts should be fairly marked out—that the law be repealed which declares a man ineligi ble to sit in Parliament, unless he have a large property qualification—and that every legisla tor be paid, as a public servant, while he per forms his duties. There is nothing very revolutionary in these requirements, and yet the Royalty and the Aristocracy ofi England will never grant them— unless frightened into it, as was the case in 1832, when the People wore determined to have the Reform Bill, no matter how earnest ly the House of Lords rejected their Just claims. VALUEIISTON may stave off his pro mised Electoral Reform, on the ground as sumed by his organ, but whether he live to see it or not, tho Democracy of England will have a full and fair legislative representation, assimilated, as nearly as possible, in all essen tial points, with that which we possess in this Rats. CITY POLlCE—Thioninut 1 [Reported for The Press.] tg,_;;A LOFTY FIT OF INSPIEATION.--Tho prevailing among critics is that the loftiest kind of O Abel inspiration Is scarcely extant at this nailed. However, the little State of Rhode Island has sent as s queer specimen of elevated genius in the person of Ilfr Hosea Baxter,who never attempts to compose poetry without ascending a high door • top, a pile of bricks, or some such platform raised considerably above the level of the earth. Last MOLE he perched himself on the edge of a scaffold in front of anew building in Eighth street, where, :at the height of ton feet above the pavement, he began an invocation addressed to beings who were, ,of course, invisible to the corporeal eyes of a police man standing in a shady recess en the opposite side of the street. In a loud and thrilling tone, the inspired Baxter, like a second Simeon Styltes, from his lofty perch, commenced as follows—the policeman standing " dumbfounded," either with horror or admiration, as the discourse proceeded: 1 "Arise, ye spirits that flit around the honey 'odrnb of the imagination like bees around a tar barrel, or buzzards around a dead dog—arise ! lend your inspirations to a feller destined to take the shine Mr of Homer, Willis, and all tho other favorites of the feminine Nine. Hark ! they come! Their mantle is upon roe, they swell me up as if I had swallowed a bushel or two of clam chowder, and thus I am delivered : Behold, you sickly, pallid, meal-faced moon, looking down from her attic-window and turning up her cold nose at this contemptible world; shining, too, like a half done slap-jack swimming in an ocean of butter; while those glimmering orbs, with which she is sur rounded remind me of a ,prolnsion of shad-scales scattered over a blue blanket. All nature has re- 11634 to roost r —old oaro ints folded himself up in his bodiniit,"..— while the night-pollee, (Impertinent ,vormints !) have likewise' tucked themsolves up salon in for a snooze - "No, thoy ain't," cried a voice which knocked all the starch out of the shirt collar of Hosea's poetry. "No, they ain't; for one of them is just e-going to tuck you up before ho tucks up him. self." "Oh, ho ! I see you are awake, this time," said glancing down rather uneasily at the °Meer, "Well, take care what you do, old feller. I'm. the head poet of Rhode Island, and the governor of our State, will make you hoar small thunder if I'm not treated genteelly." "Oh, you shall he treated like an emperor of Rusheye," said the officer; "only come down from that scaffold." "I reckon you'll have to help ma," said lima, if you want me to descend to your own level. My head always whirls around and buzzes like twenty hornet's Hosts when I come out of a tit of inspira tion." With the after's assistance, from descended ono more to the dull realities of this world, and as the precise nature of his inspiration was a matter of some doubt, this morning ho was liberated , with out any harsh treatment at which the Government of Rhode Island could rensonabiltake offence. COMMUNICATIONS. TILE KANSAS 'CONSTITUTION For The Prom] The position you have taken upon tho ques tions arising out of the unprincipled efforts to force upon—Kansas a Constitution, without regard to the wish of the people, must com mend itself to the judgment of every candid mind. There is a strong feeling of honesty, and love of fair dealing, in the Americam people, which will guide them to right con clusions in the end, whatever efforts may be made by special pleading to Mislead them. The plain facts of the case are: let. Tho members of the Constitutional Convention were not fairly elected by a majority of the people. 2d. They not only do not represent the real sentiments of the people, but are bitterly and irreconcileably opposed to them. Bd. In order to force upon the people a Constitution which thoyknow to be odious to them, they have re sorted to expedients bettor suited to a despotic than a republican Government; and, with a view to perpetuate its odious features, have tried to render its alteration impossible until the year 1864, and have placed obstacles almost insuperable in the way of alteration, even after that period. The Injustice of this is evident, nor can it be supposed that the American people will sanction it. No matter what may bo the forms of law by which it is attempted to cover over the (laud and tyranny, the people will detect, and in their honest indignation trample upon them. And should, unfortunately, our Demo cratic representatives in Congress lend them selves to the attempt, they will meet, I doubt not, the condenmation of an outraged consti tuency for their disregard alike of the first elements of a free Government, and the de clared principles of the Democratic party. In order to feel the outrage of this coup-de e:at, we must bring the case home to our selves. Suppose that one-fifth of tho citizens of Pennsylvania, against the wishes and solemn protest of four-fifths, should elect delegates to frame a new Constitution, and actually meet to carry out their purpose under the protec tion of the bayonets of tho United States troops, (without which they could not even convene,) suppose you that a majority of our citizens would be less indignant than the peo ple of Kansas ? It is no part of the Democratic creed to countenance wrong. Neither is the Demo cratic party under any obligation to be con trolled in this matter by the wishes of extre mists in the South. Our party has no sympathy, and ought to have none, with ultra sectional ists in either portion of the Union ; but, on the contrary, it is based upon the idea of pro moting justice and right, and the interest of the country at large, without regard to any particular section. During the late campaign we were assured that Kansas should hare fair play. Upon that assurance wo elected Mr. Buchanan; and if it is made good by allowing the people of that Territory a free andfull opportunity to approve or disapprove of whatever Constitution may be framed for them, no successful opposition can be raised against our party. But, on the con trary, should Mr: Buchanan, or any consider able portion of our Democratic representatives in Congress, loud their influence to this un principled effort to forestall and prevent the free expression of the people of Kansas, the effect must be disastrous to the Democratic party. A large portion of those, who have been the truest and staunchest members of that party, will consider themselves' disappointed and deceived by their own leaders. Section alism, with its exciting issues, will divide and distract us. The opposition will occupy a stronger position against us; and their num bers, it is to be feared, be recruited by many, who, disgusted with our forgetfulness of past pledges, will abandon our ranks. Looking at the matter, therefore, from the point merely of party policy and party interest, as an old Democrat, who has fought shoulder to shoul der with Democrats for many a long year, and in many a hard-fought battle, I trust that' our representatives will remember the resolutions of Cincinnati, and the pledges of Mr. Buchanan's Inaugural, and promptly refer to the people of Kansas the Constitution, for their unqualified acceptance or rejection. I cannot better conclude than by quoting from the Washington Union of July 7th,1857, in reference to the Kansas Constitution : "When there is no serious dispute upon the Constitution, either in the Convention or among the people, the power of the delegates alone may put it in operation. Hut such is not the case in Kansas. The most violent strug. glo this country ever saw, upon the most ha portant issue which the Constitution is to de termine, has been going on there for several years between parties so evenly balanced that both claim the majority, and so hostile to ono another that numerous lives have been lost in the contest. Under these circumstances there can be no such thing as ascertaining clearly, and without doubt, the will of the peo ple, in any way except by their own direct ex pression of it at the polls. A Constitution not subjected to that test, no matter what it contains, will never be acknowledged by its opponents to bo anything but a fraud. "A plausible color might bo gives to this as sertion by the argument that the members of the Convention could have no motive for re fusing to submit their work to their Constitu ents, except a consciousness that the majority would condemn It. We confess that we should find some dijiculty in answering this. What other motive could they have 1 We do most devoutly believe that, unless the Constitution of Kansas bo submitted to a direct vote of the people, the unhappy controversy which has heretofore raged in that Territory will bo pro longed for an indefinite:time to come." If it is possible to repel or evade the force of my argument, I trust the above will be taken as good Democratic authority. H. NORRISTOWN, November 25, 1857, The Fort Wayne Sentinel states, that since the failure of the Trust Company, the Bank of the State of Indiana has reduced her liabilities about a million of dollars• that besides having about three millions of dollars due her, in solvent notes and bills of exchange, she holds nearly eleven hundred thousand dollars of specie, and between three hundred thousand and four hundred thou sand dollars of eastern exchange, while her cur rency on hand, and balances in western banks, are sufficient to cover all her actual deposits.

Correepoudence of The Preys J ECARRIsma, Nov. 80, /807 I see that you announce the Pennsylvania Canal as being closed, at this point, by the ice. This is hardly correct. It is true the cold snap, of a few days since, did lay an em bargo for a time ; but more genial skies have removed that obstacle to trade, and there is now a prospect that it will keep open until at least the middle of next month. This is most desirable, inasmuch as a large quantity of produce, which cannot be carried so cheaply on railroads, is ready to be forwarded Bast, from nearly every town along the line. Messrs. Hale, Bomberger, and Slifer, com missioners appointed to investigate the con dition of the Bank of Pennsylvania, havo sent in their report to the Governor, and it is now on file in the State Department. It may not bo examined until Governor Pollock arrives, (ho is expected to-morrow,) when I hope to be able to procure a copy or an abstract ; how ever, it is understood that the condition of that institution is not so deplorable as was feared, there being, rumor says, two millions seven hundred thousand dollars of assets, to two millions of liabilities. If the real, and not thenominal value, of the assets is given, it will be a delightful disappointment to certain stockholders we wet of. In consequence of the cotton mill and other manufactories being stopped, much suffering is already experienced by the unemployed; but they have not yet in tide place gone so far as to demand “Bread or blood A committee of the benevolent have made collections, and among other purchases have • procured three hundred tons of coal and one hundred barrels of flour for distribution. The coal was pur chased from the Lykens Valley Company at about $l.BO per ton, and brought hare free of cost by the North Central Railroad; the flour at Pittsburgh for $4.76 per barrel, and de livered here free of charge by the Pennsyl vania Central Company. The course of Tns PRIM in supporting Governor Walker, and repudiating the Cal houn Minority Constitution, I assure you meets with a unanimous echo here. There is but ono opinion, which is that every people ought to have a voice in framing their funda mental laws. Great anxiety is felt to see the President's Message on this subject and the currency question. The confidence every Pennsylvanian feels in the wisdom and in tegrity of James Buchanan makes us all hope and believe he will lend the influence of his great name to the side of popular sovereignty, as opposed to a body of unprincipled men who have made an (it is to be hoped abortive) effort to perpetrate a villainous fraud. I have spoken to dozens of ardent Democrats, and I have yet to find a single man who does not condemn their villainy and sustain the view taken by Governor Walker. Yours, &c. (Correspondence of The Press I lanntsnuno, Nov. 30th, /857. I read Tut PRESS of to-day, and I rejoice that you have taken a bold and fearless stand against the usurpation of the rr Calhoun Con stitutional Convention" in Kansas. I call it usurpation, because it is an attempt on the part of a Convention, with the assistance of Con gress, to tie down, hand and foot, the people of a Territory against their consent. What have we to do with the rascality of the Republicans in not appearing at the polls and voting for delegates to the Constitutional Convention? We know that they were ad vised by the Now York Tribune, and others of that school, to absent themselves from the polls, and thus throw the responsibility of the action of that Convention on the Democratic party. Wo know full wall, too, that this was done in the hope that the Convention would put a clause in the constitution sanctioning slavery, and thus our party be justly made ;sub ject to the charge of desiring to extend sla very into that territory. But what was our an swer to this ? Did we not answer, that even if this were true, no harm could arise, because the people would in the end be called upon to ratify or reject the constitution ? And now, in the face of this, are we to cat our words, and toll the people wo deceived them? The De mocratic party has always been honest In her course, and'she is now too old to lie. The only question that arises in this whole dispute, worth talking about, is this: Is the submission to the people of their thridamtfiftat law, for ratification or rejection, a natural con sequence of the doctrine of popular sove reignty If it is, then we are right; if not, we aro wrong. But who will contend that it is not? Who have a better right to decide upon what shall bo the constitutional law of a State than the people of that State Will it bo said that when the people voted for, and elected, delegates to the Convention, that then their power ceased, and thereafter all power was vested in the Convention? Not at all. The people gave no such power to the Convention. They reserved to themselves tso authority to examine, endorse, or reject the work of that Convention. The question of slavery is not the only one about which there is adiversity of opinion. The election of judges, prothonotaries, justices of the peace, with their term of office, and a thousand other questions, arise in the forma tion of a Constitution for a now State, and these have just as much right to be submitted to the people as the question of slavery. The very submission of the slavery question con cedes the right of the people to have submit ted to them the whole instrument. I therefore say to you, go on! The people of this State are just and honest, and they will sustain any man who is willing to deal justly and honorably by others. I have a strong con fidence in Mr. Buchanan; but if ho takes the ultra Southern view of this question, he will not be sustained at home. Yours truly, J. Z.

Nearly every ono of the interior papers which comes to us, has an article upon the recent terrible loss of life in the Central Ame rica, and all speak in no measured terms of the miserable policy which has always been pur sued by the managers of the steamship mo nopolies toward California. Unless this ex citement dies out, as rapidly as a hundred others have in California, the result of it will perhaps be the organization of an independent steamship company, managed by Californians, those who have some permanent interest in, and desire for, the welfare of our State.

United States Mau Robberies For some time past has been known that the through mail from- Philadelphia to Boston has been subjected to the operations of some unknown depredator. It was ()Warred that they always took place on Saturday night. The first robbery took place on Saturday night, September 28th. BOW weeks then gaped, and on the night of Satur day. October ..4th the mail was agent tubbed: Again the same thing occurred on the 7th and 14th of November. There was a design upon the mail of November 21st, bat it was defeatedSy the vigi lance of those having charge of it. On Saturday night last it was attempted again, and thelperpe, tester was arrested and imprisoned at New Haven. Ile proves to be W. S. Tuokerman, formerly trea surer of the Bastarn Railroad. Company of Boston. We have not the means of station the amount of the leases caused by this robbery, but they must be large. Four fall mails from Philadalgbia for Bos ton were carried off or robbed of their contents, and it appears that others on the same trains suf fered in like manner. The robberies occurred on a train which carried no through route agent. Tuckerman'g plan of operations Eatauff to have been to take passage on the train, and then contrive, on pretext of smoking, to get into the =al car, where be would either steal a mail bag and - put it in his carpet-bag or trunk, or open it and take tlie'con tents. The detection of Tuokerman has been brought about chiefly through the exertions of Mr: J. Holbrook, special agent of the Peat Orme De partment. TOckerman is said to belong to a respectable, family in Boston, and we have been told that ha figured lately in an embezzlement casein thatcityr. • The following despatches in regard to. •his arrest have been received : "SPO.ISOI , IiLD, Nov. 30.—W. S. Tstekennam, formerly treasurer of the Rasters Railroad at Boston, was arrested, last night, at New Haven, for snail robbery. He its now is jail and conforms his guilt. The evidence against Tstekerman_ deemed conclusive. His operations were mainly on Sunday night trains. He would take passage at New York with a large trunk, in which was a carpet-bag, containing clock weights to make it heavy, and during the temperer/ absence of the baggage-master, he would steal a mail bag and deposit It in his trunk, He acknowledged having $BOO worth of stolen postage stamps. "Five hundred dollars in bills on the Lee bank of Massachusetts were found upon him. The Phila delphia mail for Boston with others being missed, the several railroad superintendents et, the New York anditostoreroute, the postmasters and Special Agent Holbrook, have been for several weeks on the alert, and have now probably captured the robber. The amount of th e robberies is supposed to be large. Tuakerman will be examined at Now Haven to-morrow. "Boma, Nov. 20.—Tho arrest of Wm. S. Tuck erman, it is thought, will explain the robbery of the Havana mail for the State of Maine, missing about the 21st of November; also the mail Portland for New York, and the mail from Boston for New York, all missing on the New Haven land route about the same time. The missing . Havana mail contained about 500 letters, 100 of which were for morchaots of Portland, and doubtless contained many remittances." The rcbberies alluded to in tho last despatch are mentioned in the following extract from the Port land Argus of Saturday : "The steamer Black Warrior arrived at New York from Havana, on Friday morning, the 20th instant. The mails by her for this city and State were made up at the New York post office for the first mail train, and despatched eastward by the land route at '2 o'olook P. M., on that day. These mails bare not been received at the post office in this city. They contained upwards of ono hundred Cuba letters from New York, and about four hun dred letters for distribution. It is supposed that many of those letters contained drafts from the merchants at Havana. "The mail which was made up at the post office in this eit7 on Saturday afternoon, the 21st inst., for New lork, to go by the land route on Sunday night from Boston, and which contained many valuable remittances, has not been reeeired at the Now York office, and we understand that the mail from the Boston office by the same route, on Sun day, for New York, has not been heard from. If there has been a robbery, it was committed be tween Boston and New York. The Post Office De partment are taking active measures to ferret nut these cases of supposed robbery or culpable negli gence " The Lewiston (Me.) Journal says:—"Last spring Mr. E. L. Placard, of Danville, enclosed three hundred dollars in a letter, directed it to a gentleman in Chesterville, Me , and dropped the letter in the Auburn post office. Among the bills there were two one hundred dollar bills on the Au burn Bank. The bills had a private mark on them The gentleman to whom the letter was directed never received it; and a unit is now pending in court to determine who should be the loser. No traces were ever discovered of the letter or mo ney until a few days since, when the tat) marked bills were returned to the bank in a Boston pack age. The money was undoubtedly abstracted from the letter." Important to Whalemen-11odliicatten of a Treaty Between remand the United States. (Per steamer Northern Light at New York.] Doubts having arisen as to the proper interpre tation of the 12th article of the treaty of the 26th July, 1851, between the United States and Peru, relative to the free admission of United States whalers and a portion of their goods, oil, do., into Tumbes and other ports in Peru, it was deemed best to more clearly define its meaning by a new treaty. The 12th article provided that our whal ing vessels that should visit Peruvian ports to re pair, refit and provision, could sell their provisions and merchandise, including oil, in the quantity of $2OO ad raloreta for each vessel, without being obliged to pay tonnage and port dues, or any other charge or impost, for the articles changed or sold in this manner.

This article is now re placed by the following: Anr. 1. The permission conceded to whaling vessels of the United States, to barter or sell their provisions and merchandise, to the amount of $2OO oil valorem, without being obliged to pay tonnage or port dues, or any other import, shall not be understood to apply, without limitation, to all classes of merchandise, but only to those which it is the custom to provide whalers with for long voyn "Any. 2.

Whalers are also permitted to disem bark, without any duties whatever, the provisions and merchandise specified in.the anterior article, to the quantity of $5OO ad valorem, in conformity with the anterior article, 81 of the General Regu lation of Commerce ; but for all additional amount from $5OO up to $l,OOO ad valorem, the exemption shell be limited to port and tonnage dues."
