W e are happy to have it in our powe r to inform
our readers, thus meriting, that postage re for n i as
at length been carried in the House of Representa
tives. The (eduction on the rates s not so much
a* we were in favor of ; but we are satisfied, for the
present, with the reform that has been mide.
There is no doubt but that the House bill will be
sanctioned by the Senate. The bill directs
that the postage hereafter shall be as follow*? ?
On Inters, irrespective rf distance, weighing half
an ounce, three cents ; and every additional half
ounce, or fraction of half ounce, to be charged
three <ei.ts additional. On printed matter of no
greater weight than 'wo ounces, one c^nt is to be
chvrteii; bound book*, weighing no more than
thirty *ounces, to be deemed mailable matter.
Newspaper?, delivered wihin the Sta e, are to be
charged with half of the foregoing rate < > o |>o?t
age is to be charged on newspaper* delivered with
tu the t fiunty in which they are published, nor
within thirty miles of the place of publication ; and
a deductiii^ of fifty per cent on the posuge of
magazine? is to be made when it ia pre-paid
In order to fiinr.sh a convenient coin /or post-office
pur|?s*s, three cent piece*, to be comjx>9ed of j
three fviirtii* silver and one-fourth copper, are to
be mnde at the mint, to counterfeit which will be
punished by fine and imprisonment. There is also
a change made in the publication of uncalled for
letter*. The new law directs that letters that
may be nncalled for two weeks shtll be publiahed
but cnce, instead of three times aa at present.
There u> another feature of this law which will
a r me nd it to irenrral favor, viz., the establishing
of i?nty post- t.tficeg in the large cities, oo the
English plan. This will lie a great accommoda
tion. The present bill appropriates the sum of a
million and a half of dollars to provide for any Je
ftotency that may ante in consequence of the re
duction cf postage. Oa the wh >le, the bill i* very
good. s..d we have no doubt it will b?- acceptable
to the public generally. It was earned by a vote
?f ISO to 75.
The Senate were ensr*ged with a variety of busi |
necs yesterday, which the crowded state of our (
columns prevents us from referring to.

them is for the extension of Hon commer
cial treaties, upon the condition of wkich oar foreign
trade henafter will so largely depend; yet, on that
account, it is not Uie lees important that we should
be alive to the urgency of the occasion The quaa
tion for the United State* ia a plain one. It la
whether or not we are to neglect the oppo tunitiea
we have for protecting our commerce, and of sun
taining, thereby, through our commercial treaties
alone, the governments of those States which are
in sympathy with our own institutions. While we
have no political or commercial intercourse with
Switzerland, there is danger that that old republic
will be encroached upon by her neighbors ; but the
moment we have connected aurselves with her by
the treaty already framed, we shall put round abont
her a wall of defence that will deter all the alii
slices of Europe from the attacks which are no w
contemplated. A graver question of duty and ex
pediency, indeed, has never been presented for our
earnest consideration, and we shall rejoice if the
Senate of the United States will boldly take up the
important subject, in which all our people have so
vast an interest. We hope to see the accredited
minister of Switzerland, a' an early day, in Wash
ington. The interests of our own country demand
it ; end, since the Federal Council of the Swiss re
public have met the propositions of Mr Dudley
Mann so promptly, we cannot beleve that we are
again to be disgraced by such vacillation as has
msrked our action wi'h respect to Nicaragua. Our
foreign policy is fust beginning to prove an impor
tant part.? and a very importan' part ? of our solici
tudes. Never since the commencement of our
history have circumstances so imperatively de
manded a watchful anxiety upon our part, lest, by
neglect and want of foresight, we should lose the
advantages which are sure to arise from an earnest
desire to check the tendency of events which
i are fast generating, to interfere with our hopes for
a proud future.
Th? ('?loBliatlon of Llkerla? Tkt Sl?w
Trade between BrwU and Africa.
Our columns furnish many important facts with
respect to the republic of Liberia, an 4 to the opera
tions of the slave traders between Brazil and Africa.
The time has am ved when the entire suppression
of the slave trade shou d be accomplished, and
when some large and comprehensive plan should
be carried out for transporting our idle African
population to the country from which they origin
ally sprung. Mr. Clay, on Wednesda last, ad
dressed the Senate of the Uaited States on these
subjects, and it is now desirable that some more
derided action should characterize our govern
ment, than that which has so long been anticipated
in vain.
Some months ago we had good reason for com
plaining against certain British aggressions in
Urazil ; and while we, at that time, censured the
burning, by the steamer Sharpshooter, of several
Brazilian vessels, we expressed our sense of the
difficulties surrounding the action of all engaged
in the suppression of the slave trade, and declared
our fears that the zeal of he agents of :he British
government might be carried beyond prudent limits.
It will be remembered that the British boarded a
Brazilian government vessel, the San Sebastiano,
also, to which act we took exception in very de
cided terms of reprobation. All this, however,
does not the less dissuade us from avowing that
the continuation of the slave trade between Brazil
and Africa requires prompt action, in order that the
troiiic may be terminated- The facts contained in
the communications of our Minister Plenipoten
tiary, Mr. Tod, to the government, are significant
and important. It appears that American vessels
and American citizens are often engaged in the
unhallowed buaineM of transporting slaves from
Africa, and that very great difficulty has existed
in putting an end to such practices. Mr. Tod,
and many other agents of the government, have
recommended the entire abolition of any trade be
tween Brazil and Afnca in American vessels, id or
der to exterminate the evil, and there seams to be
strong reasons far the adoption of such a law, though
almost any other government measure would
be less arbitrary in its principle. Unquestionably,
the pretence of a trade between Africa and Brazil
is made the cloak for the blacker trade in human
flesh ; but the interdiction of an honest carrying
trade, between the two countries, would be tyran.
meal in its character, and ct-rtainly the very last
regulation to which any liberal government should
resort. Still, at present, such a law might prove
very effectual, and not injurious to any honest
citizen, because, so far as we caa ascertain, there
is no inducement for vessels to ran between Afric*
and Brazil, except the unholy one which ail good
men deplore, and would cheerfully cooperate in
termin ii njr.
The facts to be found in our columns are such
as will ? r est public attention. The letter of Mr.
Gorham Parks, formetly Consul at Kio de Janeiro,
is based upon ttat*tics now before the Senate of the
United States; and we are satisfied that they present
groan s for ihe interterence of the governm-nt
We have a strong repugnance to the importation
of any slave upon this coaunest, not u,on feelings
of humanity alone, but ui view of the great political,
?octal, and moral evtls which must spring from
such ('UsiBHWi While philanthropy and the best
feelings towards the African race are aroused to
make bold attempts to transport our free colored
pt pulation to Liberia ? that r a, /idly growing repub

la w paper, oa Monday, we pabliahed an able
optaton, delivered by Judge Edmonds, in theeaaeof
Dollaer *s Qtbeoa, upon the scope and effect of the
article which declares that " all forma of pleadiag
heretofore exiatiag, inconsistent with the proviaioas
of this article, are abolished." The conclusion of
the court, in the case referred to, was, that the
forms of pleading at common law art as applicable
and appropriate to the purauil of legal remedies,
und?r the Code, as they were before its enactment;
and that the whole effect of the change introduced
by the Code, in caaea of rights dependent upoa legal
roles, was to abolish those fictions in pleadiag
where the case stated did not accord with the real
facts.
On reference to the first report of the Commis
sioner*, it will be perceived that the opinion of
Judge Edmonds is in conformity with the views
presented by them to the Legislature. At page 75,
they remark 1 "The distinguishing feature nowex
isung between pleadinga at law and in equity is,
that in the former the professed objectis, by concise
and formal atatements of conclusions of fact, to
bring the cause to a distinct issue, either of fact or
of law ; while in the latter, the facta of the case
may be stated without technicality, and with a
minuteness of circumstantial detail tending to es
tablish the proposed conclusion of fact." They
proposed to change the rules of tquity pleading? to
substitute for ita details of evidence an allegntieu of
the conclusion which the pleader mppoaed his evi
dence would establish, and to abolish a discovery,
for the attainment ol which chancery pleadings had
become thus stuffed with details.
Again, at pages 13S and 139, the Commissioners
commend the simplicity and brevity of the earlier
pleadings in the courts of common law; but they
object to the different forms of legal actions, and
to the narrow rules of construction, of the pleadings
adopted by the courts. They abolished the distinc
uens in forms of action ? the fictions in pleading,
upon which particular forms of remedy depenled,
of course fell with them ? and they provided more
liberal rules of construction of pleadings, to avoid
1 the necessity of the numerous repetitions which
produced a mass of verbiage through which no one
but an experienced pleader could carry the prin
cipal thought. The intention was to assimilate the
forms of pleading in suits which were dependent
upon equitable principles, to those originally used
in asserting legal rights.
The legal profession seem to have wholly mis
appiebended the nature and object of this change.
Instead of continuing the use of legal forms in
cases depending upon the application of legal prin
ciples, they have framed their complaints in the
manner of pleading in equity, where a discovery
was sought. The consequence has been that the
court, counsel, and jury have been inrolved,
in numerous cases, in a miss of issues upon
the evidence, so numerous, so immaterial and fri
volous, that they have been compelled to throw
aside the pleadings, and try the causes upon the
oral allegations of the counsel. We are gratified
io perceive that this error is about to be corrected,
and that the courts intend to impose costs on those
who remain longer ignorant of those principles.
Another error, perhaps not less general, but not
hitherto so burdensome and vexatious, is made In
respect to the effect of the Code in abeliahing the
distinction between legal and equitable remedies.
On this subject we give an opinion delivered by
Judge Sandford, of the Superior Court, in our paper
to-day, which will be found to be both able and
instructive.

publlo that when t M walls were up, ready fer tie
third tier ot beair^ j informed Mr Oleatworth and
tbe builder thi^ would be unsafe to progress
farther with buildings without tha fronts being
put up; but baring no power to stop the work, it
progressed till the melancholy aooldent occurred;
and wb^n that note wis written to Mr Emmet,
aad delivered by Mr. Glentworth, it must hire
been Intended to be used tor route purpose not ?v
plbihed. As I hare before stated, 1 hare nerer, ?
any time, given a certificate to Mr. Spencer, or any
body else, and it appears to m? very strange that I
should be applied to for my opinion at such a critical
time. I last called at the buildings ou the llth lout ,
and then no perceptible detect was observable beyond
the omission to erect tbe front walls, which was 10
counted lor by stating the difficulty in procuring
brown stone. The letter I oonsllered ai wholly appli
cable to the siie of tbe beams, and. were I required to
certify generally. I should have ret forth my previous
cautionary remarks, as to the danger arising from the
fronts not being erected.
And further will add. that, until the authorities are
enabled, aad then do restrict builders progressing
with brickwork during such weather as we have lately
bad. sucb canualtles ought not to be wondered at. No
brickwork, however erected, in frosty weather, can be
deemed xecure, when succeeded by a thaw, ir In the
present instance ? aad such I deem the principal
oaaae of tbe occurrence ? I remain, most respectfully,

Til* new Major, (a new broom aweepa clean) aeema

they have been a dead letter. There 1* now some pro
mise of vigor la the execution of the laws. When
polloemeu made complaints b?tore the oases were al
lowed to tilde, and they were thus discouraged lu tbe
performance ot their duty. Mayor KingsUud Is fol
lowing tbe opposite principle, for he threatens to dia
miss tboee policemen who do not report all violations
ot tbe city ordinances. Having oomwunioated that
intention to Mr Mai sell, tbe excellent Chief of Police,
the latter haa issued a circular to that effect to the
captains of police, charging them to report to him
every officer whs neglects to take cognizance of the
ebatructlon of the streets, throwing garbage In tbe
streets, furious driving ot omnibasea. coaches, carta,

laws tbat have been framed lor the ordejly govurn
ment ef this great city. Tbia la the right courae, but
It ia hoped the Mayor will not weary In well d?in^. aod
tbat he meaua to enforce the ordinance, which
hitherto have been a farce and a laughing stock fnus
tbe Ihw will be respected and all men will yield it
cheerful obedience.

1*'t* J%, coaatitlng of elx woan and two bob, who. It
" ,<?!, arrived 1b thia city oa that day, b*Tli| ia
choir poaoeaaion a largo quantity ol counterfeit toa
dollar Ullt, purporting to ho gaaaino, oa tho Minora'
Baak of PotUviUo, la the ooaatj of Sohuylklll, Pena
aylvanla. That* bill* aro remarkably wall executed,
and calculated to deoolvo aim oat any atorekeeper
Oa the night la question, it imbi Sarah Wood, oao of
tho pritOBwa, eatered tho atero Mo. SI Catharina atroot,
and mado a purohaae, and in pay moat, koto obo of tho
(10 counterfeit bills. Mr. Albart Journey, attar
changing tbo bill, thoaght that the woman looked
rather guilty, and he impacted the bill waa bad; hat
not being oertala, he allowed her to leave tho store.
However, ho did not feel aatiatted, aad fallowed oat
after her, and la tho atroot he law her moot four other
womea, and they all oonveraed together, and appeared
to bo acting la concert; Mr Journey thereupon felt
at 111 more anxiouato aaoertain the truth of hla auaptoioa.
Accordingly, he followed after and watched them from
atore to atore, up Catherlae a treat, along the Bowery
Into Qrand atreet. Uere they took a atago for down
town, and Mr. Journey got Into the aame conveyance,
and proceeded with them. They (topped at Dey atreet,
and all got out, and aa they were going down tbe
atreet, Mr. Journey called the aid of tho Third ward
police, who toek the Are women into custody, aad ooa
veyed them to tbe polioo atatiob house, oa the ohargo
paeferred against them by Mr. Jouraey, of paaeing
eounterlelt money. Captain Hopkins inquired their
names, which they gave ae follows
Sarah Wood alias Green, on her person $33, good
money.
Ann Krlly, on her person, $98 aad two gold riags.
Jane Wllaon, oa her person, $62.
Havanna Mowera, on her person, $T4.
Mary MoCready
Emlllne Wiener.
Charles Winner, en bis person, (181.
Mansfield Wood, on his person, $33.
All tho above money found on the persons of tho
prisoners waa good, evidently taken ia exohange for
the counterfeits, aa not a dollar of bad money
waa then found ; and the preaumption Is that,
if they had any, they must have thrown it away
at the time oi arrest. The following in a list
of the stores where the womea passed the apa
rious money No. 81 Catharine atreet; 80 Divi
sion attest; C. 11 H unter U Co., 684 Orand atreet; drug
atore corner of John street and Broadway; No. 268
Broadway, drug atore 69 Market atreet. dry goods store
618 Urand street, and No. 100 Chatham street. In
each ot tbeae ator.-a the women passed a eounterlelt
fly bill, tbe parties bare also Identified them aa the
guilty pereone. Kaoh ol the womea oarried a oarpot
aatcbel, in whloh were placed the small articles pur
chased. nont-lntlug of gloves. cologne bottlea, ohlldren'a
aboea, a child a hat. India rubber ehoos, together with
Other trilling articles purchased for the express pur
?oie ot obtaining tbe change of a $10 counterfeit bill.
he moneys on their persona was touad 1b their
peckets. follfd up in separate packages, juat aa it waa
received Irom the atore keepers in ohange. Very near
$500 in good money was taken from the prisoner* and
as only tltteen ol the ?- lu bills have as yei bean brought
to tbe station house, it is presumed that many more
have yet to be brought against them; and now that
the publication takes place all those who have been
imposed upon by this gang of rigues will be able to
identify the parties on calling on Captain Hopkins, at
the station house No 38 Barclay etreet, aad thus pro
mote tbe ends tt public justice. This association ot
counterfi iters, beyond a doubt, came from Philadel
phia for tli- express purpose of deposing of a large
quantity ot spurious money; but in this instance it ap
pears tbey have brought their pigs to a wrong market.
Tbe wom*-n state that tbey have small famillei de
pending upon them for support iu Philadelphia Offi
cers Crawford, Johnson, Wood and Taylor made the ar
rests.
Officer Stephens arrested, the name night, a man
calling himx It Benjamin Drake, suppled to belong to
the t-ame gang from Philadelphia. On bin pe^uu were
found counterleit $6 bills on the Baak of Mlddleto?n.

conveyed before Justice Osborn, who committed him
to prison. Any persona who have rooeired bills of the

At the aecoad board, Farmers' Loan fell off X per cent;
Morria Canal X; Portsmouth Dry DockX- Canton
Company advanced IX per oent; Reading Railroad
X; Long Island X; Norwloh and Worceater X. The*
decline la Morria Canal la attributed to the expose ra
cently made of the flnanoial affairs of the company .
It appear* that the director* have thrown away upon
the preferred atock all the advantages and benefits the
old atockheldera expected to derive from the enlarge-*
ment and improvement of the oanal. It la in
contemplation te consolidate the eld stock, under
the authority of the act paaaed February, 1860, tha
first aeetioa of which aaya, " that the aald company
are hereby authorized and empowered to reduce tho
number of shares ot their oapital stock to ten thou
sand two hundred and Ifty aharea, whioh aharea
shall have the same nominal value as heretofore."
This consolidated stock was offered at the board, to
day, at 90 per cent, seller four months, and no taker*.
At the market price or the old stock, the oonaolidatod
would cost 92 per cent ? withia 8 per cent of par?
which Is a pretty good prioe, it must be admitted, for
a non dividend paying stock, a stock, too, standing
behind 11.700 shares of preferred stook, which mult
receive ten per cent dividend before the old oan re
ceive one cent. Krle llailroad was not in much de
mand to-day. Holders do not feel so confident ao
tbey have in relation to the advance anticipated It
has been so frequently stated that priced would ruo
up to par, that many who would have aold long ago
still bold on. Nothing can be done in fancy stocka
without shorts, and the bears have been too sbyof
Erie for a long time, to be caught in a very tight plaoe .
The movements In the Legislature of Pennsylvania, iff
relation to the Reading Railroad Company, have had
a favorable influence upon the market value of tha
Mortgage Bonds of 1870, without depressing the mac
ket value ot the stock.
By the arrival of the steamship Asia, flrom Liver*
pool, we have two daya lator intelligence from LondoD<

The financial advicea are not so encouraging, The
Inert aaed rata of Intereat by the Bank ol England'
i had oheeked the exportation of gold and the move
ment haa not been made a moment too aoon, as th?
bank was rapidly losing its bullion On the first o?
January, 1860, the bullion In the bank amounted to
*17,018 163. on the twenty third ot March, ? 1 7.279 918 1
and on the third of January, 1861, A' 14 998,881? show
ing a deorease, since March, 1860, of jC3, 316.363. Tha
bank rate of intereat, at the iateet date, waa three pes
eeat. It had previously been two and a half from
November, 1849. The shipments of gold flrom Loadom
to France, have lately beta larger, in oonaequence of
the contemplated change in the metallic oarrency oC
France, and the probability exitting ol gold belag dis
carded. Eng'tah houses having payments to make 1?
France, are aaxious to make them in gold while it !?
a legal currency, which acaounta for the large ship
ments withia a few weeks. Money waa improving ha
value In the London market. There had beea a Mr
demand for Amerioaa eeeurlti-s, without variation i>
quotations.
The receipts at the office ot the Aasiatant Treasures
of tbia port, to-day, amounted to $92,717 87; payment*
