The New Postage Law.

Every person being interested in the •mended act of the 3d of March, 1855 In regard to pottages, a full synopsis of ha provisions will not be unacceptable:

Under this law all single letters mailed from any distance not exceeding three thousand miles are to pay three cents, and for any distance exceeding ihree thousand miles ten cents.

Half an ounce in weight will constitute single loner, and double, treble, and quadruple letters to bo charged in the ••me proportion.

All letters must be prepsid, except •uch aa are to or from foreign country, or those addressed to officers of the Government on official business.

This law is to take effect from and •rter the next fiscal quarter, June 1, 1855.

After the 1st of January next the postmasters are to affix stamps upon sll prepaid letters upon which none are placed by the writer*.

A registration of valuable letters is required to be made upon the payment of fee of five cent* in addition to the prepaid postage, but the Government will not be responsible for the loss ot •ny registered letter or packet.

The franking privilege ia to remain as heretofore. Selling postage stamps for a larger marked value is to be misdemeanor.

GOLD SWEATING.—The N. Y. Journal

of Commerce of yesterday evening

says: We have just learned of a new dodge in the way of depreciating the value of coin. Some ingenious rogue has filed or otherwise removed a few lines from the circumference of a batch of double eagles, restoring the milling again, after robbing each piece of about $1 50 worth of gold. The trick could be detected by comparison with the genuine coin, or by weighing. We doubt whether this roguery is carried on to any extent, as unless the work is done by expensive machinery, the manual labor upon each piece must be considerable. We should think that any man sufficiently ingenious to invent the dodge and expert enough to perform it, might earn more with the same expenditure of energy in some honorable calling. ~~~~~~~

From ths lyacMsri Firgihiin.

The Northern newspaper! are amusing themselves over nonsensical tirade upon American politics by the redoubtable Louis Kossuth, put forth in letter to the New York Times. More than anything we have aeen from him it betrays the impudence, superciliousness, and practical worthlessoess of the man. We insert a few specimens "A Whig Government is hostile to our aepirstions a Democratic Government is, practically, not a DH oeiter in foreign policy, and the Young American Government has proved worse thsn both, (I can demonstrate it by matters uf fact, and by a parallel between what I have experienced when Daniel Webster, the Whig, was Secretary of State, and what I have experienced ainee,)-nay it has proved a perfect failure failure failure and the people contented with having cast a vote in the election, and absorbed in domestic party contentions, made not the slightest exertion to bear its sovereie* will on the policy of the Government. Where should then any Democrat here, in Europe, have found an in-du'-ement for any public intercourse with your barren political Sahara. "Let us see but one bright ray of light, indicative of the fact that the darkest days of the eclipse of America are over—and gladly will I accept to your well meant suggestions."

The greatness of America he calls ahumbug and drivels out a rigmarole of stuff like this: "Good gracious what tales have I been told, in some hundreds of addresses, about the brilliant lustre of the thirty-one starred galaxy rising over the Western waves,—a new creation of light in the darkness—a new rainbow pledge of hops to humanity —I have been nearly led to shout out Old Sun thy days are past—put out thy flickering lamp snother luminary will rule on the horizon of mankind for generations tu come *.

D—-—n, the old bilious dotard, (young America he makes speak,) he is on oyster, thinks his shell a world and has not one drop of warm blood in his torpid veins. No sir, America is not an oyster—it's not a thing of a negative life 1 The fact is that we have been ruled by old Fogies. Whigs and Democrats,—the one nineteen, the other twenty, but one—no pluck, no ideas, no spirit, rto principled, with either of them. Bent downward towards (he dust of time past by, they have fettered the yoUng ei« le of American Poor bird there he sits gnawing with 'sectional*ennui—now on his right (Whig) then on his left (Democratic) claws, and then dozirtg in the task of screening with his wings the lustre of our brilliant galaxy."

The old fogies are of Cdlirse those who refused to carry into effcct the views of Kossuth, such men as Webster, Fillmore and others but he doeB not appear to ex* pect much from the change of rulers, if we may judge from the following bit of impertinence '•What, he asks, is the difference, for the better, between the America of President Franklin Pierce, and the America of President Millard Fillmore, either in principles, diplomacy, activity, or policy The slightest indication of the slightest difference for the better, shall be considered a satisfactory reply, except the one that now Peter holds the emoluments of surh a 'situation* as Paul held before. The Democratic majority of both houses of Congress, requested to act as prire judges."

It may be worth while to remember that when Henry Clay and BliHard Fillmore undertook to instruct this chafly adventurer in the principles of the American government, and the impossibility of what he 6oughl to accomplish, those noble American citizens were taken to tank by that portion of the American press which never lets an opportunity pass for making capital with our foreign population. The result is a sufficient commentary on what then occurred.

We observe then another distinguished foreigner, I»ord-Elgin, the Governor Gen»^r« al of Canada, has been saying some unpardonable things of President Pierce. At a public dinner, lately given him in England, after referring to the opportunities he had enjoyed of learning American sentiments and witnessing the working of our system, he said "Why, there never was a President who was elected with a greater appearance of popular support than the present President of the United States and I venture to soy that there never was an administration which seemed to be more u'terly discredited among all parties than the present administration in the Uniied States but you will observe that under the Aniericnn system they are saddled with that gentleman fur four years, and I defy them to get rid of him or his ministers, if he chooses to keep them."

These are unkind flings at the head of that party which professes to burn with so ardent a love ju.-t at this time for all that is foreign. If we have many more such we shall expect to see the Administration and all its organs taking refuge under the cover of Know Nothingism.

IN THE

NEW JERSEY LEGISLA

TURE.—During a debate on bank charters in the New Jersey House of Delegates, Mr. Tompkins, of Essex county, moved a postponement of the bill under discussiou—as a member came to his room before the House met, and stated he had been offered $1,000 for his vote, and from, as he supposed, the friends of the bank whose charter was under discussion. The member alluded to, upon a call from several members, rose and stated he did so inform Mr. Tompkins, but in confidence and requested him to say nothing about it! Mr. T. replied that he gave the member no promise, for his tialh required him to give the House the information as to the contemplated bribery. It was then stated that a member from Salem county, Mr. Harris, had been called otK of his irit to the lobby, in the morning, and then by eef tain partie* who were opposed to his voting for the banks, forcibly thrust into a car. which carried him off. After much excitement, committees of three members eschf with full powers, were appointed in each a

Gentlemen: 1 have just received, through the Hon. Mr Hibbard.

Scott to sell the Catholic v«»te. who hesitated to reply when the proposition was made to Gen. Pierce, and accepted, and a Jesuit was placed at the heud of the Post Ollice Department.

That Bishop Hughes' demands wero absented to by the party to whom he firt proposed, except that he demanded a Cabinet officer, upon which you herniated. and the proposition was made to Gen. Pierce, and he assented."

And your letter to me is thus conclu* ded: •'Believing the statement to be false and basely calumnious uf the fair fame of yourself and the other distinguished gentleman implicated thereby, we would respectfully request of you to inform us at your earliest convenience whether the statement of Mr———, so far as relates to you is true.*'

I hasten to say. that the statement or statements 1 have quoted from your letter. as ab-jve, are, in respect to myself. abtoluteln false, and I have no doubt they are equally so in reapect to my political friends and oppouepts in the canvass alluded to. remain, gentlemen, with great respect,
