GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
ISCRS.V3B.07 2CET5PAPEIS. POSTAGE I'ECC'l
v.vsitRD. We sec br the Postmaster General's !
Kcport that the ; expenditures of the Pcpnrt
r.ciAt excoud the rovenao $2,625,200 1G the
oaiUya having reached $9,003,812 23, during
tle last fiscal year, whilst the receipts amount
ed to no more than $7,342,136 13. Mr. Camp
bull suggest scvcr.il ways of supplying the do- ;
ficiency, the most prominent among them bo- j
inj the restriction of the franking privilege to
j.ublic documents and letters relating merely
to public business, and charging ful! rates of
postage) on newspapers in all cases, instead of
half rates, a.i now, when paid quarterly in ad
vance. The latter suggestion is certainly an
unhappy one, and will meet with little favor
in any quarter of the Union. A total aboli
tion of tho- franking privilege would at onco
meet tho .demand for it lias been estimated
that the full amount of franked matter reaches
yearly $2,500,000, a sum within a trifie of be
ing as large as the deficit. The X. Y. Tri
bune, in an article on this subject, says tho
Postmaster General ;has not the courage to
advise the abolition of the franking privilege,
nor the honesty to propose that Government
should pej for transporting its own matter.
The Post Office ia a mill to grind the grist for
those who enjoy a f 'little brief authority," but
the toll 13 all taken out of the people's corn.
The only way that the funds can be obtained is
to rat so the postage rates. That is his propo
sition. lie does not like the idea that poor
people, honest farmers, and laborious mechan
ics should get their weekly newspaper, their
religious journal, or their literary magazine at
one half the rates of transient matter, oh con
dition that they pay th.c postage in advance.
This reduction on regular papers and periodi
cals by the law of 1852 is a perpetual eye-sore
to our Post-Office chief, llc speaks of it as a
"special privilege" to a "particular class," as
if the benefit of low postage did not extend to
the inmates of every house and log-cabin from
Aroostook to Astoria. And how much does
ho propose to make by raising this class of
j.ostage ? Wc will see. Printed matter fur
nishes to tho postal revenue $038,027; and a
largo share of this, a third or more, is tran
5ic!.t, leaving say 100,000 for tho postage on
regular newspapers and periodicals. By the
Postmaster General's proposition this sum
would be doubled, giving an increaso of in
come to the aniount'of $400,000. Is there a
man at Washington who is such a very sim
pleton as to believe the people of the United
States are going to pay a higher postage on
their literary, religious and political intelli
gence as necessary as their daily bread.
It can't ho done, Mr. Campbell."
Oca Foeeiqx IitLATioxs. Iu referring to
the general anxiety existing from the rumors j
that Mr, Buchanan has been peremptorily in
fracted to demand the recall of Mr. Crampton
for h:3 complicity in the enlistment of soldiers
for tlio -Crimea, and that the British Govern
ment will' vol recall him, but leave him to be
dismissed, the New York Courier says: "the
British Government originally instructed its
agents so to proceed as noyo violate our mu
nicipal laws- Had theso instructions been ei
ther unwittingly or 'designedly departed from,
a:vl had th British Government, on being ap
prised of the fact, proceeded against its oflicials
us either unfaithful or incompetent, and dis
avowed their acts, there would have been an
rid of all controversy. It has no right to un
dertake to judge for itself whether those laws
v?J!y had been infringed. American author
ir:s "to the sole expounders of American laws;
;;nd tho enlistments to which, in thoe&tinia
i ion of our government, Mr.' Cramp-ton has been
accessory, have been most positively pronoun
ced by our courts illegal. It was a mistake in
the English Government to take issue with
our Administration upon the legal bearings of
the case. The offence, as it originally took
place, excited very little feeling among the
great body of our people, and, after an assur
ance that it would not bo persisted In, would
have been speedily forgotten. A frank and
lull amende honorable would have so satisfied
public omion, that oar Aisuiaitt.ation could
not have got up a dispute about it, however
unfriendly might have been its disposition.
It did not sustain Mr. Cushing iu his gratuit
ously insulting the British Consuls, in his letter
to the United States Attorney, at Philadelphia;
neither would it snstain either him or the Sec
retary of State orIr. Buchauan iu any en
deavor to use this untoward business tor ei
ther the humiliation or the annoyance of Eng
land. But if the English Cabinet chooses to
justify on legal grounds, tho discussion must
proceed on those grounds alone, and our gov
ernment must, follow out its argument of Mr.
Cranipton's guilt to its logical, practical con
clusion a suspension of his relations to itself.
A European Coxgkess. The pamphlet re
cently published in Paris on the necessity for
a Congress to Pacify. Europe, has excited
flinch attention there and in London,' as its au
thorship has been attributed to the Emperor
Jfapolean, though some of the Paris corrcs.
pondeu'ts of the, London press attribute the
pamphlet to Drouyn do L'iluys and Count
Walewiski. - A New York contemporary says
' tho recommendation of a European Congress
to settle tho terms-of a treaty of peace with
Russia' arc.' the principal ostensible objects of
the yttnpliict; but it apears to have been writ
tcn" Tor the purpose of reconciling llussia to
he humiliations which she is bound to submit
to sooner or later, and to convince the Czar
i hat he will not lose caste ia consequence of
the reverse which he has undergone since the
commencement of the war. The pamphlet is
certainly' written with great ability, and it
gives the best and most comprehensive expla
nation' of the necessity for the wir and the
present position of the parties to it which has
Leon published.' Whether the pamphlet was
uritfcnly tho i;ijtcrcr or notj it was tuiiifost-
lv done with his full approbation, and extraor
dinary pa Mrt appear to lmvu been t.tkua to
give it publicity, and to draw out the senti
ments of the press in ropect to its proposi
tion. li:t the propositions for a Peace Con
gress, of which Pussia herself should be a
member., meets but little favor in England,
aud the Lo:i Ion Times savs that sooner than
submit to such a plan, they would let the sword
decide the quarrel; "it was not drawn without
counting the cost, and will not be sheathed
without sstuu bettor Euaraiitee than can be
afforded by a Congress of European Sover
eigns." This is the languagr of tho Times,
which is rather piipied at the disrespectful al
lusions to the English press ia the pamphlet.
But the wishes of France will, doubtless,
prove more powerful in setting the question
than those of the English press.
Combixatiox to RtDvc" the Inox Drrr.
A Washington correspondent of the Tribune
says, "it is ascertained that a formidable com
bination of importers of iron in New York,
and manufacturers in England, has been orga
nized, looking to a demonstration upon Con
gress for the repeal of the duty on rail road
iron exclusively, or failing in that project, of
the passage of a law bonding it for five years,
with a retrospective feature so ti3 to include
corporations which have been lobbying here
for the l ist two years This organization as
similates in character to that which appeared
when tho tariff of 181G was proposed, and is
understood to be supplied with the same "ma
terial aid" which was said to have enlightened
the wisdom and influenced the votes of Mem
bers of Congress on that memorable occasion.
This blow at our industry would be disastrous
to those interests which most require to be
fostered, and it remains to be seen whether an
open and bare-faced attempt to procure spe
cial legislation for British manufacturers can
be carried through an American Congress by
the assistance of British gold. This cause
will be sustained by a large amount of ready
capital, and men who in other times occupied
positions of honor in the public councils. It
is proper, therefore, that all the approaches
should be guarded, for the effort will be sec
onded by most powerful influences, and engi
neered with remarkable skill."
Six. Kailhoad AceiLiiiNTs. The New York
papers of the lGth give reports of six railroad
accidents, on the lines between that city and
Chicago, and a majority of them of a serious
character. Still another accident occurred
on Tuesday afternoon, on the Hudson River
Road, which injured a man so severely that
he is not expected to recover. A nother oc
curred on the Harlem Railroad, by which a
woman's neck was broken. Two occured on
the Xcw York Central, and one not far from
Chicago. An extraordinary number, even un
der existing circumstances, which are very
much against safe traveling. There does not
seem to have been anything of importance e
licitedbj t le Jury 1 a 'ing in charge an investi
gation into the cause of the accident at Spny
ten Duyvel Bridge, which was not previously
known. A high wind and tide, and an unu
sual accumulation ol ice, are the only causes
given for the occurrence of tho accident.
: Lat'.. from Mexico. The Mexican papers
of the 8th are filled with articles showing that
the country is still the victim of mingled anar
chy and tyrrany. The Press law is more iu
quistorial than any heretofore enacted. X um
bers of journals have been obliged to suspend
or altogether abandon publication, and several
editors have been seized and thrown in prison.
The Government is endeavoring to explain a
way the excessive odiousness of tho enactment.
Degallode, iu Guan.ijuuto, and Uraga in Sier
ra Gorda, are engaged in armed opposition to
Commonfurt's Governme nt. Yidauri is streng
thening himself for future movements, with
men, arms, ammunition and provisions, which
he is taking care to secure in abundance.
Out Relations with England. The Wash
ington Union of tho 19th inst. says, (hat no
such question as the suspension of diplomatic
intercourse has been before tli3 Cabinet. Our
relations with Great Britain are certainly deli
cate, and perhaps critical, but a proposed with
drawal of Ministers is not among the eviden
ces going to intimate the delicacy of those re
lations. The Union further says: "Wo can
not deny that there arc serious questions of
difference between the two governments."
Disturbances is Kansas. Advices from
Kickapoo, Kansas, announce a conflict at Eas
ton, between a company from Lawrence, under
Captain Brown, and the Kickapoo Rangers.
Several were killed and wounded ou both sides.
A large number of persons were flocking to
Easton. The disturbance is supposed to have
originated at the election on the 15th.
; In Oregon an Indian war has been raging
for some time. The Indians are dissatisfied
with the treaties recently made by Gov. Ste
vens with them, and they threaten to carry on
a war of extermination against the whites.
Measures have been taken by the 17 . S. Gov
ernment to prevent it, but a number of per
sons have already been killed.

The cans and jars are constructed, with a chan

a very adhesive cement, prepared for the purpose
aud allowed to harden. In order to seal tho ves
sel hermetically, it is only Htcersartf to heal the
cover slightly, aiid pres it into plitrs. It may be
opened with as much case as itisclosed, by slight
ly warming tho top. The ordinary tin cans, used
for the same purpose for which this is intended,
cannot he closed, as is well known without the aid
of a tinosr; arc difficult to open, and are generally
so much injured iu opening as to ts useless for
future service. - "
