FROM WASHINGTON Despatch Offices in Philadelphia, New York and Boston to be Abolished—Negotiations be tween the United States and Great Britain Vtah (Drennan—Kansas Affairs, fre., ke. (Oorrespondenee of The Press.] WARRINGTON, NO. 24, 1857. I. learn from the highest authority that the Post master General will, under the authority given him by the note of 3d March, 1845, and 3d March, 1851, deolare the streets of Philadelphia, New York, and Boston post routes. This proclamation, it will be at ones peroolved alms to abolish the various penny-post offices In those cities under the control of private individuals. It is said in support of this measure that it will ultimately have the effect to reduce the charge for city delivery of mailed lettere from two cents to one. There is charge, under the system of sub-offices reeently.established, for taking letters to the main office, 'whereas the despatch oompa.- nice charge one'oent for this service. The negotiations bet erimi the United States and England in regard to Central Amerloan affairs, are at It stand.still. Orators in Parliament, the Lon don Timis, and the 'other British ministerial press, and Palmerston himself, in words, express their willingness that ,the United States should have in the affairs of neighboring States the sups. fior weight of intluence to which she is entitled by her position amongst the nations of the earth, but more especially by, their cot tiguity and power for good or evil over her commercial and national in terests. But the British Government 'do not net up to ,their One expressions of good-will. General • Cass says, "Welt,• Lord Napier, neither the United States nor England desires possessions in Central A tner iee, and why not abrogate all that has been done previously, and say so in a few plain words in a new .treaty.", Ah t" replies the wily diplo. mat, and then he goes off Into the old story about •Honduras and the Bay Islands. The truth is that Great Britain endeavors to ee: cure a foothold in Central America, and I know that Administration are fully satisfied of this fact/ and determined also to prevent it. The treaty with Nicaragua was one step In that !Wee.

And yot, how numerous have been, .their cases! They have as often taken place, in this old Puritan Commonwealth' as in any other part of the country. This usurious interest is taken either by the way of circulation, or, as I, have before Indicated, through , itrest egencies., ' Now, in support of these last amnions, and to show how little our banks adhere to the pisrposes for which are chartered, lot 'me cite, in brief, a simple illustiation.

The petitioners for that bank wore, as is usual, the residents Or the piece. a to fair to suppose that their wants should be first supplied before yielding to outside teniptations, for they are the bone, life, and ' sinew of , the place; and very reasonably expect that their own bank should first attend to their, pecuniary wants, to advance the trade and prosperity in their different branches of business in their own le aunty, before accommodating outsiders. But, instead' of applying its capital to these legi- J,timate . ends, the bank will, especially hi stringent times, send packages of its bills into State street, and other places, there to be disposed of through street agencies at Hie gal rates of interest, accompanied with ' a guar antee, tht the bills shall be disposed of in sash a leity as shall Ramiro a lrood circulation.

Among the most distinguished and promis ing members of the bar of Leavenworth, is tito Hon. John A.

In the late contest in Leavenworth county he led the ticket, being elected to the Council by areeisive majority over his political oppo nent , as well as the Democrats who were nominees on the same ticket. This fact argues well for the future success mid politica) emi nence, of Judge Haldeman, and is alike hone rableAo a constituency so capable of a just appreniation of true merit, and to him whom they have honored with such a marked and genernus manifestation of their confidence. I need not say that Judge Haldeman is a De meentAin the true sense of that term.

Any attempt to sell largely however, Would be very apt to break down the market, in its ii , resent weak condition., The shipment of specie by the Europa, the lam est ever made by one vessel, amounting to $2,381,- 822 can hardly fail to exercise a favorable effect, in ;he event of its 'safe arrival in England. It is said that the amount shipped would have been mutht heavier, but for the difficulty of effecting further insurances. There are some doubts as to the 'propriety of sending such large sums in the winter season by a single vessel, at a time when the moral effect of its loss would be very disastrous to slowly recovering confidence and the enfeebled state of the international exchanges. No smolt cendderations, however, can be expected to influ ence the agents of the steamer, and as the larger number of shippers ,act independently, and in lg. norince of the doings of each other, It lA. perhaps, fortimate that the limits of the lines of the under writers impose some chock upon the amount. The market •does not feel the loss of the specie; the Opinion being generally entertained that the pay merit of the debts, and the restoration of confi dence abroad was as good a use as could be made of spore portion of the very heavy soutunlation in the Now York banks. • Tie St. Louie pavers are urging immediate re gumption upon their banks.

The Harrisburg Patriot and Union publishes a statement of the circulation, deposits, and coin of the several banks of Pennsylvania, which we copy below. The comparison of the country bank aggregate with that of the city banks, gives color to the statement that our city banks would be ready for resumption, but for the backward oondi- Hon of the banks in the Interior.
