Persons who advertise in the newspnpers
should always mark their advertisements with
the number ot insertions ; otherwise they often
loret and let the advertisement run longer than
neceisary, and when the bill comes to be settled,
there is something said about the cost. And
when an article is advertised for sale, when it ix
selj, the advertiser should attend to taking it
out of the paper, because it misleads the readers
ot the paper, besides running him to more cost.

the crops in promising condition. The state of

POST MASTERS' COMMISSIONS.
We learn that many applications have
been made by Post Masters to the Post
OfficeDepartment, for increase of com
pensation under the late law reducing the
rates of postage ; anil finding in the Wash
ington Republic of Tuesday a copy ot a
letter addressed by the Department to a
Post Master, we bubjoin it for the infor
mation of such Post Masters as may feel
interested in the matter.
Post Office Depaktmkxt,
Appointment Office, Sept. 15, 1831.
Sir: Yours of the 11th instant, relative
to the commissions of Post Masters under
the late law for the reduction
Ctcr, has becitiecelTvV. "
of postage.
JLJ.
by the Gth section of the act in tpiest'ion.
to increase the commissions of Post Mas
ters under certain circumstances, viz :
At all post offices where the labor of the
Post Masters shall be increased, and the
commissions fall below the amount allow
ed for the fiscal year ending the 30th of
June, 1 851, the Post Master General may
in his discretion increase the Post Mas
ters' commissions, but the commissions
allowed must not, in the aggregate, exceed
j by more than twenty per cent, the com
! missions of the year last mentioned, and
in no case can such commissions be in
creased beyond such jimount.
After, the quarterly returns and accounts
for the first quarter of the year commenc
ing on the 1st of July, 1851, shall have
been received and examined, some uniform
rule or general regulation will be adopted
in regard to such commissions, with the
view of giving a proper compensation for
the increased labor (( any) imposed upon
the Post Masters by the operation ol the
late law, and the modi tied regulations
which are expected to be issued before
such law ",oes into effect. It is believed
that until these accounts and returns are
received, the Post Master General will
not have sudicient evidence of the practi
cal operation of the new law and regula
tions to enable him to prescribe the neces
sary rules lor determining when and to
what extent extra allowances shall be
made, ami no filial or decisive action can
he hud until such evidence is procured.
Post Masters will, however, be careful to
cast their commissions on the amounts of
postages actuallv received at their respec
tive otlices, and insert them in the account
current as heretofore, and whatever extra
allowance may be made will be entered by
the auditor in a separate credit in the gen
eral account.
Nkisb Rivek Improvement. We
learn that a corps of Kngineers under the
direction of Col Thompson, chief Kngiueer
on the Cape Fear and Deep River Im
provement, have been engaged to survey
Neuse Niver. and that they will probably
commence operations about the first of
October. We learn also that Gov. Reid
has appointed Dr. J R Justice, President
of the company, agent for the State, and
authorized him to have the survey made,
the expense to be borne by the State as the
act of incorporation directs. The Kngi
ueer is of opinion that the survey can be
completed in twoorthr-e months, when
the practicability, cost, &c, of the Im
provement will be assertained. Gold$bo

Dbsthuciive Fire This morning,
about half-past 12 or a quarter before one,
a fire broke out, as tie learn, in the store
at the corner of Front and Ked Cross
Streets, a short distance below the Rail
Itoatt bridge, which resulted in the total
destruction of the tenement in which it
originated, and the two adjoining dwell
ings ; one occupied by Mr VV. A. Gwyer.
and the other by Mr James Grist. Mr
Gwyer, we believe, lost the greater part,
of his furniture of Mr Grist's the better
portion was saved. We have not heard
what the loss of Mr Parker, the occupant
of the store, may amount to. VVe should
up'i4.Cytbat the anxnt of property des--iwyra-tuuiii
ui"oe replaced under seven
thousand dollars. The fire is believed to
have been purely accidental Wilm. Jour,

this reverend abolitionist has not only been
forfeited, but the money nineteen thou

Tun right kind of a consul. A
Canadian paper, commenting upon the late
summary massacre of Americans in Havana ,
says that the. impression is prevalent
that had a British or French man-of-war
been lying in the harbor, as was the Unit
ed States sloop of-war Albany, and had a
British or French consul been in the city,
such a wholesale massacre ot British or
French subjects would not have taken
place It then relates the following anec
dote :
in 1820, two English sailors, who had
committed a crime in Havana, were about
lo be shot. They were clearly guilty, but
the British consul insisted that they should
be tried. This the government refused.
TI ie consul remonstrated, and the captain
general became insolent. The hour of
execution cume, ' and the consul was on
the spot ; he brought with him the con
sular flag, the British -union jack,' and
agaiu earnestly remonstrated, but in
vain. The officer on the Plaza was about
to proceed in the execution of his duty
The consul, finding all further remon
stiance useless, placed himself in front of
the men, unfolded the union-jack, which
he threw over the kneeling prisoners, and
said X(iw shoot at that Hag if you dare!'
They were remanded to prison, and that
nigiit they escaped.'
It is very natural that the most intense
indignation should be felt by the American
people against the present American con
sul at Havana; but if it should turn out
that he only acted according to the instruc
tions of his government, much of the op
probrium will be removed from him. No
doubt when Congress assembles an inquiry
will be made as to whether Consul Owen
had special instructions from the govern
ment to act as he is reported to have dune.
