A recent arrival from New York brings accounts confirmatory of

a statement which we made a month ago, on private authority, of the disorders in the American Post-office department. A re- port, which was read in the Senate on the 17th June, states that the Post-office is " largely insolvent ;" that it owes 800,000 dol- lars more than it can pay ; and that maleadministration, and fa-

vouritism in the selection of officers, have been the cause of this great defalcation. The accounts rendered by the Post-office func- tionaries are discredited ; and large sums are said to have been il- legally and collusively obtained.
