 Neso- Fork Post OGce.-A most singular develope- meni has recently taken place with respect to the nagement of some of the clerks in the Post Office at New.York. It appears that agent of the printing establishment ofihe New-Yorker saw a boy wheeling of load of papers which had been purchased at the post office, and had the curiosity to inspect them. He there found several numbers ol nearly all the city pn pers of SD date that they were not dry, the wrappers carefully torn of-but the greatest propor- ton heng of the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer. The editors of the C. & F. being informed of the fact, and o the papers taken |" their ohce complaint was immediately made [" Justice Hopson, aud clerk by the name of Mills forthwith brought up IL was abun- danily proved that he had for some time been in the habit of selling papers from the office, only dead papers which had arrived the office from the conn try bu, city papers destined for the country dated the cery day on ,ohich they oid-iha Mills in the habit of selling from to 1700 at time at about 25 cents hundred. h appeared also that clerk named McihersoR, who had charge of the distributing ofthe paper mail tn the post office, and who examined to clear Milis have connired at the raude if he did no, directly participate in the "spoils.'

He might consider himself discharged. and i. was hoped he would eonduc, himself in future as no, to give fur ther grounds for suspcion.'

 We presume that the Pos,.aaser will at eas, 90 far rla rka ndr nn1n sui. fer them longer to depredae upon the community in this manner. Calculations are already beginning 10 he ma le with regard the prospects ofand against Mir. Van B"ren (or the next Presidency Many of his party claim that he iusi as sure to receive it that he lives until the fall of l836 when te election takes pIace-,he other party contending as sirenuously, and with as much apparent confidence, that he obtain more than about l30 electoral voies by the hest calculation that can be made. Without entering very strongly into she spirit of these cacnlaors of chances intend to keep little look out ahead and "see what we car sec" The success of Me party in the state of New York has undoubtedly materially strengthened the chance of the Little Magician for the attainment of the obiec, Of his wishes. Nevertheless there is deal of deba,eable ground which the Whgs i"'eod if pos sible to cover.
