Queer uses of Uncle Sam" s Property. When the present Postmaster General came into of fice, his attenion was drawn to an item of ex penditure which he thought was susceptible of "retrenchment." This item was the heavy ex pense for leather and canvass mail bags. He accordingly instituted inquiries on the subject, and the answers which are now coming in give some idea of the neglect and abuse which has been allowed in the various branches of this Department. A letter from one of the new postmasters in Indiana, states that, on taking charge of his office, he found, from the dissec tion of two chair cushions, occupied by former clerks, ten canvass bass enclosed, and about the same number devoted to other unnecessary purposes in and about the office. Letters from Postmasters at Farmille, Vir ginia; Rochester, New York; and Zanesville, Ohio, show a similar yet more aggravated abuse of public property. In these letters it is stated that the bags have formely been given to the tage drivers to carry their horse-blankets, cur ry combs, brushes, grain and meal for the hor ses, and some of their own clothing. N. Y. Express. Cheap Living. The Farmers of Illinois, it is stated, are obliged to take a cent and half a pound for their pork, or they could not raised money to pay their taxes and very good turkeys may now be bought in Cincinnati for twentjT-five cents a head and good chickens for a dollar a dozen, as poor as the money is. Dr. C. C. Edday, of Yazoo City, Miss, has gone on to Washington Uity to procure a pa tent for a perpetual motion.

J, The Mutiny on -board the Creole---The Releaseof the Slaves by British Authority Full Particulars. Thereilras already followed the greatest ex citement, especially in the south, in regard to the mutiny on board the brig Creole, a brief account of which appeared in last weekVCour ier. It will be observed that ot Washington, the matter has already undergone considerations in the Cabinet. Readers no doubt will wish the full particulars. The Charleston Courier is in debted to a friend for the following extract of a letter from New Orleans, giving a more cir cumstan'ial account of iliis affair than has been puoJishe'J in any of the newspapers: PhiVa. Couier. "From the evidence 01 the acting captain, (who was mate at liitf time,) the crew and pas sengers, it appears, that on the night of the 7th November, while lying to, expecting to make Abacco the next morning, about 9 o'clock, the captain and hands having turned into their berths, except the watch on deck, a negro came into the cabin, and told the captain that some of the men were in the hold with the women. The captain requested Merritt, who was at tending to the negroes, getting their food, &c. to go and see who it was among the women. Merritt went down among the females, lit the lamp, and discovered a negro named Madison, who attempted to get on deck; Merritt caught him by the leg, and Gilford, the mate, held him by the head and shoulders, his body being on deck, and his legs in the hatchway they ln- ending to cnasuse mm. While scuffling with him, a pistol was dis charged, and the mate, Gilford, was struck on ihebackUhehead by the ball, but it did not penetrate. Gifford and Merritt ran below into the cabin, wokerup the captain &hd Mr. John Hewell. The captain took his bowie knife and rushed on deck. Hewell found a musket, and prevented the negroes from, coming into the cabin; fired it at them they threw handspike at him, and took the musket from him they were at the entrance of the cabin at this time Hewell picked up the handspike, drove them from the cabin door, to the forward part of the vessel; some of them in his rear stabbed him several times, and he returned id the cabin and fell dead. The captain fought, but was over powered, thrown down, the knife taken from him succeeded in getting away from them and ran up the rigging. Gilford was already up. the same mast, and finding the captain fainting from the loss of blood, lashed him to the mast, alld went up higher the sailors took to the rigging of the foremast. Merritt hid in the cabin among the women, until the mutineers drove them out; he then went into a berth and pulled a mattrass over him ; they searched the cabin for him and eventually found him; he begged them to spare his life, and that if they did, he would take them to Nassau; they proposed going to Libe ria; he told them the voyage would bo too long, and that there was not water and provisions enough in the vessel to carry them that dis tance ; his life was spared, and he was placed in charge of the vessel. McCargo, a passen ger, and nephew of one of the owners, lay in his state-room until the next day, and one of the negroes belonging to his uncle prevented the others from injuring him. The next morn ing the captain was ordered below, and so was Gilford ; the crew came down. They made the captain go into the forecastle, where they had already placed his wife, child and niece, and ordered his wounds to be dressed the vessel on her way to Nassau. On arriving at Nassau, the American Consul being informed, by the mate and crew of what had taken place, went to the Governor of the Island and acquainted him with the facts. The Governor sent a file of soldiers on board. The third day after being in that port, the passen- crew, &c, identified nineteen who ap peared to be the principals, and the next day they were taken ashore and lodged in jail. The Attorney General of the Island then read, rom the quarter-deck, the British Laws, and and told the negroes they were free, and might go to "any place they pleased." During this time a large number of boats (those aboard of them armed with clubs) came alongside of the brig. Alter the reading of the laws by the At torney General, those in the boats expressing impatience at the limej a signal was given by this officer, by waving a pocket handkerchief, and the slaves were pushed and shoved from off the vessel into boatSj a portion refusing to go; five would not go, and hid themselves. The captain was taken on shore by the American Consul, and his wounds dressed by a-physi cian. On the arrival of the brig Creole at Nassau as soon as the news was known" among ilic shipping, a captain commanding a vessel from Maine, lying in port, collected up all his pis tols, cutlasses, and muskets, and the Consul purchased arms took his crew in a boat with mese arms, ana went .10 me ong tor me pur pose of manning her and taking her into this port the soldiers ordered him lo keep off that if he attempted to get on board they would fire on him; he was compelled to return. The ibrig proceeded on the voyage with only five out of 136 negroes." The President of tlid United States has offi cially recognized Daniel J. Desmond as Cb'ri sul General of his Holiness the Pope, to reside at Philadelphia. Information Is wanted of PHILIP HINKLE, son of the lale Philip Hinkie of Berks county, a carperi ler, between 23 and 24 years old, about 5 feet 8 inches in height, of a sandy complexion, somewhat freckled in the face, dark sandy hair, and having three marks on the right cheek from the small pox, which might be mistaken for scars, lie has not been heard of since June last, when he was working at a bridge about 14 miles from Hollidaysburg. It is thought by his friends that he was the young man whose murdered body was fotind on Rayshill, Bed ford county Pennsylvania, in September last, a discription of which in the Ledger correspond ed with the above.
