HuT I*l L.L TAKER V ’ ' t'ui-Vt it v\ as in consequence ef an epi df Jifc'-^arrt'ssil iag, tr of the season, which was Christmas, and the consequent repletion attemiairt'on ft, that had caused such an un usual influx of ciistauiers to the shop, of An drew, Chemist and Druggist in the Fife; certain it is 'hat he and his 'hoy had been more than usually employed in com oundiug aperients and emetics for the in abitants of the good city ; never before had tch a demand on his. gallipots and bottles len made—never before bad blue pill and lap been used in such profusion, and never •fore had Andrew felt more sincere pleas '*y;e than he derived that evening, from the arket house clock striking eleven, his sig il for closing. With alacrity his boy accept- I his permission to depart and left his mas '.t to enjoy solitude for the first time during lat day, and to calculate the quantity of rugs made use of during if. This was not mall—l4j oz. blue pill, 4 lb. jalap, besides olycynth, senna and rhubarb, at the lowest omputation, had he prepared for the good iwnfolk of Fife ; innumerable had been the ases of cholera morbus, and pluftib pudding urfeits he had relieved that d?.y, .‘and the re-' ■ollection of the proportion of e?vil he had >een the means of alleviating gave him the nost pleasing sensations. The profit also ac ruing from this day’s- labor contributed no unall ijhare of pleasing. thd®ghtsSj and one talf hflur more-had passed, ere it Entered his nind the time of closing had more than ar ived ; he had, however, just lor the wrposo, when a stranger entered. Now, Andrew, though an industrious man would villingly have dispensed with any! other call or his services that evening, and 'not alto gether so obligingly as usual did he welcome iis customer, but awaited his commands without deigning a question. The stranger was not, however, long in opening his commission, neither did he ap pear to take Andrew’s inattention at all amiss; he seemed one of those hapjiy bqings upon Whom outward circumstances made little or lio impression, who could oe either civil or otherwise, as should happen to suiffhis humor, and who cared little for any opinion but his own. Hi a broad and ample should era, over which* w 4 cast a large coachman's coat, with its innumerable capes, and hi 9 ha-nds thrust into the pockets, and his round, ruddy, good Ihumored face, showed that the cares and ’Troubles of the world had made but little im pression upon him. Andrew had seVn many w wild Highlander in his time; but dither there Was something peculiar in his customer, or fits nerves were a little deranged by his exer tions during the day ; an indefinable sensa tion of fear came over him for whuffi he could Sot account, and his first impulse was to Turn to the door for assistance. But thery he- ’be thought himsi If he might, perchance, fall in to the hands ofsonieof those prowlers, who, report says, make no scruplcfof supply, ing medical students with living Subjects if ‘.hey cannoyirocure dead ones. And more, lid he leave his shop, his till would* be left a the tender mercies of the stranger.; he was hen fore compelled to summon cordage and iemand the stranger’s business. This was lot so difficult to him, perhaps, as we may imagine, Andrew having formerly served in the militia ; but it appeared that his fears,had alarmed him far more than there was any oc casion, for on asking the .stranger's business, lie in the most polite manner only requested bim to prepare a box of moderately strong aperient pills. This at once relieved his Jears, though it did not entirely remove them, and Andrew quickly set about the necessary preliminaries. Blue pill and jalap once more Were in request, but so much had the Stranger’s 9udden appearance, agitated him he Could not recollect their places so readily as Usual, and he was more than once on the point of niyjing quite the reverse of what he intended. Tiie stranger observed to him he appeared agitated, and politely begged he would wait a little and compose himself as he was in no hurry. Herp all Andrew’s fears returned,and in spite of all his Ctforts hi 9 hands rsbook as though he had the palsy, and never had the pret aration of a box of pills appeared so irk some to him. It seemed as though the very medicine itself had this evening conspired to torment him; three times longer than, it usu ally took him he had now been, and though the town clock had already told the hour of midnight, still Andrew was at his post, grind ing and pounding; and often, as he delayed for a moment through mer inability to pro ceed, the stranger politely besought Jdm to ?est a few minutes and compose him Self, and Andrew for very shame was compelled to re sume his occupation. At length his labors drew to an end, he prepared the lab£l, pasted it on, neatly covered the box with blue paper and presented it to the stranger. “ I will thank you for a glass of water,” said he, as he bowed to Andrew on receiving the box, “ and I see* sir r you have given me •o smartish dose. All these bills to be taken at bed times but so much the bettej, thev trill perform their required duty sooner. I have tire now', mastered a leg of mutton; and some tvTiters affirm the human stomach can digest ■a ten penny nail, so here goes.” -- It was in vain Andrew assured him he had made a mistake iu the directions, and that -one pill was sufficient; in vain he remonstrated with him on the danger of taking a lfirgedose; pill after pill disappeared from- his'alarmed view, while between every three or our, in the same equable aud polite tone came, “I thank you to prepare me another box, and compose yourself,Sir ; lam in no hutry.”— Who could the stranger bet Andrew was now at the very climax of alarm ; the "perspi ration stood on his brow-, and hts hands trem bled so as to render it almost impossible to - reach down his jars without damaging them. Strong doses be had certainly often prepared after a city feast., for the attendants on it; but this outdid them all. A man that could de voir a leg of mutton, digest a ten penny nail, and . dfti a box ol blue pills at a mouthful, bad never entered his imagination, much (css did li™ c v r expect to see such a being in persons Ijii!

Had Andrew ever sought • after the Philosopher's Stone, the Universal Solvent* or Elixir of Life 1 Did he put much faith in Solomon’s Balm of Gilead, or Carrington’s Pills, or did he believe in the Metempsy chosis ! In vain he assured him be vftrtdiijd nothing but the Edinburgh Dispensatory, that h>s shop bounded his rest-arches; the stran ger took for granted he must be able -to give or receive information, and question after question did he put, to which Andrew assent ed without knowing their purport. At length he seemed to have exhausted all his subjects, sat himself on the chair, as if to compose himself to sleep, and in a short time gave unequivocal proofs of it. Andrew now began to breathe more freely, and ventured to cast his eyes towards his strange customer; and, after all, there was nothing to be ajarm ed at in his appearance, except he noticed the breath iVom his nostrils appeared more like the steam of a tea-kettle than the breath of a human being. Still there- was rjoihing extraordinary in his appearance; he had a good jovial English farmer’s face; and a dress that well suited it; to be sure a smile or rather grin, lurked in the corner of his mouth, even while asleep, as if he mocked poor Andrew’s perplexity. He did not, how ever, allow much time for observation—lie seemed to be intuitively aware, Andrew had ceased his usual polite manner. “ Oh, I see yop have finished; ’havethe goodness to pre- 1 pare me one t>ox more; but let ine prayw ou ter take your leisure, and impose you re elf, for lam in no hurry.” Andrew, who had fondly hoped his labor was at an end, now found himself obliged to renew it again with vigor, wlnlif the stranger aroused himself, rose fr&m his chair, yawned and shook kim 9elf~“spoke -of the comfortable nap he had enjoyed—was sorry he had kept Andrew up so late, or early rather for it was now in the morning. Andrew, though infernally wishing him any where but in Ins shop, yet constrained himself politely to answer, tha't his commands gave him much pleasure. Again did lie re new his toil. Pox after box did he prepare without iutermissioiL.and the hours of one, two and three,had been told in succession, by the market clock. Bitterly did he lament ins destiny ; long before thig he ought to have been snug and *omfortal>Te'm his warm bed- Anger now began to assume the place of fear, as hr grew more accustomed to his visiter’s company, and often did he determine in him self to refuse preparing any more. Still his courage was uot at that pitch ; probaMy hie exertions, as I said before, may have injured his nerves—however, he could not rally him self enough to do it. The stranger, with his usual smile ot%rin, stood looking- on, em ploying his time by beating the devil’s tatoo on his boot, while at intervals came forth the usual phrase, “Another box, but don’t hur ry yourself.” At length, mere inability to proceed any farther supplied the place of courage ; his arms and sides ached tq such a degree withers labor, as to cause the perspi ration to stand on his brow in great drops, and he declared he could proceed no further. Th# alteration in -the stranger’s counte nance told him he had better lefif it unsaid, arid his hands instmtrively grasjKd'the jiestle with renewed vigor, hut his repentance came too late; the ♦anger’s hand was already a cross the-counter, and in a second -more had" grasped Andrew’s nose as firmly as if it had been m a vice. Andrew strove iri vain to re lease himself—the strangeij held him with more than human grasp; and his voice, in stead of the polite tone he had before used, now sounded to his terrified ears what his' imagination had pictured of the Indian yell. The pain-of the gripe deprived him of voice to assure his tomienter he, would compound for him as long as he would wish ; still he contrived to make signs to that effect, by stretching lira hands towards his niortar and imitating the action of grinding ; but his tyrant was relentless—firmer did he close his fore finger and thumb. Andrew could not shake him off; like a person afflicted with a night mare, he in vain assayed his strength, though agonized with fear of losing his pro rument feature in the struggle. The stranger, at length, as if endowed with supernatural strength, lifted him from the ground,- balanc ed him in the air for a moment, gave him a three-fold twitch, drew him head foremost over the counter, and lethiur fall. When he 3ame to Ins senses, he found himself lying outside his bed, the only injury from his fall being a broken nose. „ / rom the Baltimore Minervc.

There they sat, sucking their thumbs and bitterly wailing their hard lot; —the troops began to muster—the drum rolled and they heard the orderly sergeant give out the command in a thundering voice —“fall in fellers!—right dress!” It was too much to bear ; one of the little follows, sec mg the master’s back turned, sJvlv crept up to the stove and placed a lump'of Xsafcetida upon it.

Post Office Department, ) July 1 2th, 1631. \ Gentlemen: Within the last two years, the condition of this Department has been much improved— In many parts of the country, mail routes have been extended ; stage accommodations have been added; the frequency of trips have been increased; and on many of the leading routes, greater celerity has been given to the trans portation of tlie mail and to the expedition of the traveller. On the routes most important to the intercourse of the country, and especi ally to its mercantile inti rests, greater im provements have been secured yx _the more rapid transmission of the mail. Iwo years since, the contract then in op eration involved an expense of more than a hundred thousand dollars a year ; "beyond the amount ol the current revenue of the Depart ment. At present, its current revenue does not vary materially from the current expen diture. These results could not have been produced by any efforts on'my pa riff had they' not received the energetic co-operation of postmasters and contractors. That •much of the success which has attended those efforts, is due to the vigilance and fidelifmrhich have characterized most of you, is deeply felt aud acknowledged. . The number of persons employed in the various branches of this Department, compre hending postmasters and their assistants, con tractors and their various agents, is upwards ot thirty thousand. Amongthese, it is scarce ly to bfc presumed that every individual would prove entirely faithful to his trust; and re cent developenients have shown, that errors exist among them which call for correction. Nor can ft be expected, that m a community embracing an extensive nation, every indi vidual should be so far governed by the die tates of Junior and integrity, as to preclude all fraudulent practices; but as it is the duty of every good citizen to discountenance them, so it is especially incumbent upon every agent ot this Department to exercise all possible vig.. ilance in detecting and preventing them, wherever they are bear upon its in terests. Your particunre attention is there fore called to the following points. It is the duty oi every Postmaster to be careful in locking the mail; to see that it is secured; and to the mail key as a sa cred deposit. The most extensive depreda tions ever committed upon the mail, have been peipetrated by means of improper per sons obtaining the mail Key. It should be carefully secured under a lock; and no per son, who is not under the oath of office, should ever be permitted to have access to it, or to use or keep the key. That disregard lor the safety of the mail which will permit a post master to lose a key, is without apology. It is equally important that you examine well the bags in which you place the mail for trans pqitation, and be sure that they are whole and secure. \Y hen new ones are needed, the-postmaster should make the requisition on the Department, and when those, forward-.. edare not returned with the mail, he should send an enquiry aiong the route to ascertain the postmaster by whom they are detained, and report the tacts to the Department. There is, with so ne postmasters, a want of proper care in receiving and changing the mail. Packets ot letters and bunil.es of newspapers 'no, often left in the mail to pass beyond their destination or to take a w rong direction, through the inattentjoh of v tfie per eon whose duty it is to separate them. Your especial attention is called to tins suhject.— At all connecting points, or at places from whiehothcr mails branch, it is the dutv of the postmaster to examine carefully the packets in the mail; to separate from them those which belong to his own office, and all such as should be sent by the branching mail, and to give them their proper direction, to go bv the earliest conveyance. It will be of little avail to the public, to form connections and provide for the expedition of the mail, unless postmasters carefully attend tothur duties in this respect. Neglect on tins point brings re proach upon the Department, and often easts i* upon tiiose-who-bast-merit the censure.— Whenever tiff's duty is neglected,, it ft rceuir •J of the first postmaster who shall discover it, to return such packets to the postmaster who has given tiicm awfo:ig direction, or whose neglect has suffered theta, to wander,” and report the Tact? to the Department, it is expectid that '.ift- injunction will be strictly regarded. It will en.ibiv the Department to' detect the errors aud carelessness of delin quents, and to ascertain through what offices packets of this description may Jiave passed, t-y P'art vigilance Rrrcpt them,—-i In such cases, the most effectual corrective will be promptly applied. An evil prevails, it is apprehended, with the smaller post offices, and with some of the intermediate offices on routes much travelled —which may, perhaps more than any of the greater derelictions of duty, contribute to in jure the reputation of the Department. It is this :—The opening of mails by a postmaster or assistant, in a public store or other room, within the reach of jtersons not sworn—in vi olation of an express instruction. This must be wholly avoided. In the smaller offices, too, where the letters and newspapers remuin ingon hand are few, there is sometimes great carelessness in not preserving them W’eli un der lock and key. They should be kept in a secure case, er desk, and no person not offi cially sworn, allowed to have access to them. And the practice which obtains in some offi ces of lending newspapers, must be abandon ed altogether. Injuries of"this 'Kind will be promptly redressed. Postmasters are also more strictly enjoined, to give due notice to publishers, wheafeheir papers or periodicals are refused, or not taken from the post office. A wilful neglect of this injunction by a post-, master, may subject him to private damages on the suit of a publisher, who can establish, the fact, —besides the consequence of a com plaint to this Department. { It is required by law, that every person em , ployed by the Department, .whether postmas ter or clerk, contractor, carrier or driver, shall take the oath prescribed. It has lately come to the knowledge cf five Department, that in some instances this has been neglect ed, Loth in post offices and with mail carriers or drivers. You will enquire into this; ahd if it has ever been neglected by any person in your employment, you will have the error im mediately corrected. A wanton disregard of this requirement in future, will be considered ample cause for removal from office, or for an nulling a contract. It is required of every contractor to be scru pulously punctual, in his tiroes of arrival,at the specified points with tfie mail. In every case of delinquency in this respect, the fine will be imposed and rigidly enforced ; and a rep. etition will incur a forfeiture of the contract. If insurmountable obstacles intervene, the contractor must lose no time in prociwing the best evidence of the facts which the nature of the case will admit, and forward it by the ear liest mail to the Department. A delay_in doing this will prevent the excuse from being considered ; and no obstacle which is not ab solutely insurmountable, will be considered a apology. It is required of all postmasters at the be ginning and ending of each route, and M any; other points named in tne schedule of each contract, to report to the Department every failure of a contractor to arrive within ten minutes of the time specified. In this re spect there is no discretion with the postmas ter. lie is required absolutely, in every case, to >*report the delay,-with the cause then known; and the discretion ©f enforcing or remitting* the fine is reserved to the bead of the Department; who will be governed by' the facts alone. If the times fixed by the contract are not known to the postmaster, he should apply to the Department; and they shall be given. Contractors are required in all cases, to convey the entire mail; well secured from rain or bad weather. If on horseback, it must be covered with an oil cloth or bear skin. If in a stage, the letti r mail'must be in a safe and well covered boot under the driver, or in the body of the stage. When the news paper mail is large, and separate from the let ter mail, it may be carried on the back of the 9lage, provided it shall be well secured from ram ; but in no case must it be exposed to the weather. Nor is a contractor permitted on any occasion to leave bags of newspapers, or pamphlets, or any part of the mail, at any place on the road. His doing so, will inevita bly subject him to the forfeiture of his con tract. It is also required of postmasters in every instance, when a contractor shall fail to! comply with any of these requirements, tore-; port the case specifically to the Department; and a neglect to do so, will subject him to the imputation and consequence of being a par ticipator in the offence. It is the duty of ev cry postmaster, to be in readiness (in person or by his assistant) at this office, to receive the mail when it arrives, and despatch it with} all possible expedition. It sometimes hap- i pens that carriers and drivers are unnecessa rily detained, and sometimes a neighbourhood is disappointed in not receiving intelligence, by a postmaster failing to be at his post to re ceive the mark, In such cases, it is the~ffiity of the contractor toYeport the facts to the De partment, that the proper corrective may be applied y and a failure to do so, will subject him, also, to the penalty of delinquency*^ There is cause to apprehend,- that file reve nue of the Department suffers much, by abus es of the franking privilege. Your attrition was called to thjs subject two years since, with good effect. there-irivoason fo fear that in many instances, the unrernitted vigi. lance which the interest of the Department exacts, is not generally continued. Youi special attention is called to the subject.—. Le t no elevation ofeharroter, or-of oftirr, ffp. ter you irom bringing to the test of legal in vestigation, any person against whom evi dence of this offence may be procured.'’ It is of essential importance to the Department; and in no case, when the fact can be estab lished, must the offender be permitted to es cape with impunity. It is scarcely necessary to say that a violation of the law, by postmas ters themselves, will in nocase be pardoned. They are reminded of the obligation 'OfUicif I oath of office. ! Every person having charge of a boat or | cralt, is required by law, under a heavy penal | fy, to deposit all letters conveyed by his boat, ; Ul the post office at each place of arrival; and J all letters conveyed by steam boat, on waters I where steam boats regularly plv, are subject to the same postages as those carried the same distance in the mail. There is ground for belief, that in some par.s- this provision of the law is in a great measure evaded. You are required to use all diligence in striving to correct this evil. It it be permitted to exist, the Department will be deprived of trmHr-ft its lawful revenue at places where steam boats touch. In-very instance you can discover. tho violation cf this tion rtf Tv. t —j— • j [Section 19.] whether on the w ater or bv 1 land, you are to cause uprosecution to be in stituted. The law prohibits mail carriers, or stage drivers, from carrying letters, scaled or un sealed, out of the mail; except sch a? are received at the distance of one mile from a post office, and then the carriers are required to deliver them to be mailed, in the first post office at which they arrive. From reports re cently made to this Office, it appears that this pari of the law’, has, in many instances, been grossly violated, to the injury of the De partment. This is an evil that cannot be tol erated. If done by carriers and drivers with out the knowledge of their employers, the ' contractors in this respect, mu3t be held re sponsible for the conduct of the agents whom they employ. It is their duty to know them; and it is expected of each contractor that he will find the means of preventing frauds of ; this description upon his own route, or sus i tain, himself, the injury that may result. An j apprehension is entertained, that some con tractors, in other respects well approved, have permitted these frauds to exist upon their lines. If so, he evil must be effectually er adicted, whatever sacrifice of individual in to rest it may involve. No contractor will hereafter be continued in the service of the Department, who shall permit this practice. However highly he may be estimated inotlieri respects, he will be deprived of his contract. Postmasters are required, in all cases, to ink form the Department, when these abuse? come to their knowledge. it is highly satisfactory to Fee 1 assured, that by the great majority of you, gentlemen, all the evils here noticed are decidedly discoun tenanced; and the'strongest confidence -re therefore reposed in your readiness still to co operate in giving effect to the injunctions of the Department, so essential to its future prosperity. W. T. BARRY, i I'he fallowing is from the Boston Pruntcrlyt of July 16, and was received by the .Versus, fromJ.au, don, with dates of 2d June,- CONTINUED SUCCESS OF THE POLES. The London Star of the evening of the 3d of June says, “The brave Polish Commander has completely out-manoeuvred the Russians. VI hile a Polish corps was amusing them at Aimak, Skryznccki united all the corps on his left, crossed the Bug, and taking Ostrolenka by assault, has proceeded to Lomza, defeated the Russian Guards at Tvchosin. and in fact occupied the wCole country between the Bug and Narew.” Accounts from Warsaw of the 20th, left Diebitsch at Zocolow, apparently in ; rqute lor Ostrolenka or for Bielsk or Bialystock, with no resource but to throw himself on the protection ol Prussia, as Dwemicki, threw himself on the protection of the Austrians. He has, however, to cross the Bug and Na rew, with Polish corps on every side of him- By this masterly movement, the Polish General has placed himself in contact with the Samogitians, Lithuanians, and other re volted districts, by whose population his army wiil he indefinitely augmented, so as to leave to Diebitsch no prospect of escape, Let whiff in the Prussian frontiers. The foreign jour naft assort he will endeavor to reach Throne, in Prussia; but we expect he will seek to cross the Roeoka, and avail himself of the shelter of its vast forests, The march of Schrvznecki is without par allel in modern warfare. From Warsaw to Ostrolenka, was a flank march of full eighty mile 9 ; thence to Loniza another 30; and to Tychosin 20 more—the last 50 being in the rear of the Russian grand army. The Poles seem also to have gainedad vantages in are pulse of the Russians at Minsk; and 'this, wib the new position of Skyrznecki, no doubt forced Diebitsch to retreat to iSocotow, near the lower Bim. O The ranks or the Warvovians have also been recruited by volunteers from Prussian and Austrian Poland; and the whole cam paign resembles a war tsf chivalry, m which the enlightened enterprize of Europe is direp. ! ted individually, against the further encroach ments of the barbarons Muscovites, Tartars and Siberians. YYe have just learnt (says the London Globe, under date June 2d, .three o’clock,' P. M.) that a report is general in the city of a ’Russian defeat by the Poles, and that 'the Imperial Guards had been cut to pieces. It, is said to rest on letters from Berlin. It is certainly very prevalent. ,i The morning Star of tho 3d says, that the above reports probably alluded to the over throw ot the Guards at Tyohosin, who were taken by surprise. ’" A private letter from-Warsaw, dated 18th Says: Since last Thursday', the two armies are in full movement Ge- Diebitsch has made a manoeuvre with the principal part of his army, in the direction of the Bug and Nff. rew, with a manifest intention to get into the- Wawodie of Flock, to gain the Prussian From tiers. The motive of this change of position is not difficult to be undertsood, as the Russian ’ General finds ft difficult to receive his con-' 'o> s * rorn Russian Poland, and he now wants to gam the Prussian frontiers, to be in corn-, mum cation with Thorn, where he has a con siderable magazine of provisions and ammu nition waiting for his approach.
