ROYAL IRISH AURIcuLruRAL EXHIBITION IN KILLARNEY. We have often referred with admiration to the perse- ; vering and successful exertions of the Royal Agricul- . tural Society, and of the Royal Dublin Society also, during all the distress and difficulties of the past eight years. Their annual exhibitions—latterly fully equal to any similar displays in England or Scotland—have given a decided impulse to agricultural enterprise. The recent exhibition in Galway, under the auspices of the former soaiety, afforded most gratifying evidence of steady improvement in Connaught, which had been not very long since in a state of utter prostration. We are happy in being enabled to announce that the next annual exhibition of the Agricultural Society will take place in Killarney, and that we can con gratulate our friends in Kerry and the adjoining counties upon an arrangement calculated to confer so much advantage upon that part of the country. The ueceesary preliminary steps for effecting that object were taken, before the close of the Galway Exhibition, by Mr. Pierse Mahony, with the earnest co-operation of that sterling friend of Ireland, Mr. William Dargan, who has gen erously volunteered to give the necessary indem nity to the society, on his own account for 500/. But we are confident that the gentlemen of Kerry will gratefully and thankfully decline his offer, which, however, has se cured the holding of the Cattle Show for 1853 in Kil larney. We have learned that Mr. St. John Jeffreys, of Blarney . Castle, although he has not an acre in Kerry, has joined Mr. Mahony in tendering his subscription to wards the indemnity fund of 5001. In short, the matter is settled, Lind it only now remains to adopt all needful measures l!'or rendering it completely successful. We have some reason to believe that the Queen and Royal Family contemplate a visit to this city during the Great Exhibition of 1853, which owes its origin to the public spirit and m unificent enterprise of Mr. Dargan. From the Irish capital her Majesty and her illustrious consort might proceed, by the railway constructed by him, to visit the far-famed scenery of Killarney, at the opportune period of the Cattle Show. This would in deed be a royal progress, the very anticipation of which would cheer the hearts of her Majesty's loyal and devoted subjects in this portion of her realm.

When our gracious Sovereign paid h er first visit to Ireland, the country was but struggling out of the diffi culties of a terrible famine. That period of disaster has passed away ; and with the brighter prospects that now open upon us, we would hail with joy the second advent of our beloved Queen, to receive renewed pledges of affectionate loyalty from her Irish subjects,—Dublin Evening Post.

ZePIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS, FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—In one of the Western Stares of Ame rica, before civilization had entirely conquered nature, considerable annoyance was experienced from the multitude and ferocity of the indigenous bears, and to such a pitch did the evil arise that it was taken under the immediate cognizance of the local Govern ment. With the view of accelerating the extinction of this troublesome tribe, these authorities recurred to the ingenious and highly popular machinery of " bounties"--that is to say, they promised to pay fro: the common treasury a certain sum for every bear's head that was produced. To be sure, it was already the interest of every man to lend his best aid to the extirpation of a plague from which he, as well as ail the rest, was suffering; and, if the work properly pertained to the people, it could hardly be requisite to pay the people for doing it. However, the terms were published, and the coffers of the State were pledged to a fixed premium upon slaughtered beers. The new pursuit thus opened was followed with ala crity by a good many woodsmen, but to none did it appear so profitable as to a certain citizen, highly dis tingui-hed for his intelligence, but not hitherto re markable for excellence in sportsmanship. At last the steady and increasing supply of bears' heads from this quarter attracted some close inquiry, when it was discovered that the producer bed been privately breeding the animals to a very large extent. The " bounty" awarded by the State was sufficient to render bears a profitable agricultural stock, and was accordingly made instrumental in perpetuating the identical race it was designed to extinguish. On the practice being denounced as unlawful, and the pre miums being withdrawn from this home manufacture, the proprietor, it is said, at once turned his whole stock into the woods, and thus supplied the neighbour hood with rather more bears, upon the whole, than they had enjoyed before the first experiment of "bounties." Whether this story is either very true or only very well imagined we are not much con cerned to decide, but if any reader is ieclined to dis miss the former supposition as intrinsically unlikely, we can help him to a fact of the present day which is v cry little behind the American anecdote. The French Government pays a " bounty" upon the cap ture of herrings, not, indeed, with a desire to sweep the sea of these savoury little creatures, but with the " higher aim," as it is termed, of fostering a hardy school of mariners. It appears that these prize scholars repair to the British shores to fish but, as the work comes by no means so naturally io them as it does to us, they are in the habit of pur chasing herrings from our Scarborough and Yar mouth sailors, and presenting them for payment as their own proper and original produce. So noto rious has the practice become, that overseers are now appointed to secure the Government in fair play ; and at this very moment a fine French steamer of war, with a couple of tenders, is stationed off Shields—not to protect, as Mr. Webster would express it, " the hook and line, bob and sinker" of these honest fisher men, but to keep a watch over their doings, and see that they perform the part for which they are paid. On the whole bargain, therefore, the French Govern ment first pays a gratuitous " bounty" on the take of fish, which are not taken by the alleged takers; next, provides an encouragement extraordinary for the very rivals which it is aiming to surpass; and, finally, in order to stop the cheat, is obliged to find men-of-war to prevent its own traders from defrauding its own exchequer. A more delightful illustration of Pro tection it would be hard to find. This is the species of favour for which our North Ame rican colonies have recently been petitioning. It is said that their fishermen ought to have " boun ties ;" that is to say, that, over and above the natural inducements to take fish for sale, there should be a special premium on every cod's head and shoulders, payable by the State. Nothing less, it is declared, will put the colonists o n a level with the Americans, and maintain that " hard y school of mariners" to which we must resort in the contingency of war. Now, it should be understood—if, indeed, there can be any misconceptions after the late discussion of the subject--that the fisheries lie off our own coasts, and not off the coasts of our neighbours ; that three miles' apace, measured from the shore, is secured to us ab • soiutely : and that to the more distant grounds of the north we are many leagues nearer than the Ameri cans. The consequence of these advantages is that our fishermen can employ a smaller class of vessels than their rivals, and thereby start with a less expen sive outfit. The best fishing grounds lie at their very doors, and they can use light manageable nets with great effect. It was urged, too, by Mr. Everett, in his note to L ord Aberdeen, t h at all t he roug h m aterials of the trade — such as timber and iron, canvass and cordage, hooks and lines—were cheaper in the colonies than the States, and that the former were notoriously favoured in all facilities for salting and curing. It was in consideration, in deed, of the superiority thus enjoyed by the colonists that the protective duties of the States were instituted —an arrangement by which the Americans are sad dled with a halfpenny a pound on all the fish they consume for the satisfaction of going out to fetch it themselves instead of having it brought to their doors. Now, with the views of the United States Government in this respect we will not at present concern our selves. They have made it a duty not only to purvey fish, but to create fishermen, and fishermen have been forthcoming. On the other hand our colonies, it is said, are being fast excluded from their natural avocations under the operations of the system thus artificially maintained, and it is proposed accordingly to set them on their feet again by taking a leaf out of the Ameri can book, and protecting our seamen as well as theirs. But, we ask, where is this competition to stop? We m ay describe the whole rivalry as a race for the working of the fisheries. The fish require men to take them, and there is a struggle between two States which shall supply these men. The British colonies have the precedence of natural superiority, which the Americans encounter by artificial encouragements on the other side. These encouragements it is proposed again to counterbalance by colonial " bounties,' in which event the Americans must E ither increase their own protection or retire from the field. They are not very likely to adopt the lat ter alternative, so that the only discernible result is a race of folly which would end in making a dish of salt fish about as costly as a haunch of New Forest venison —a joint estimated, we believe, a ll forest charges included, at the value of 1;0 guineas, or thereabouts. But the experience of commerce is now sufficient to prove that these artificial arrange ments are never desirable. If our colonies, with all their inalienable advantages of situation and produce, cannot find encouragement enough in the ordinary wav of trade to practise fishing, the conclusion is, not that fishing shou ld be made still more attractive b y pecuniary bountie s, but that some other callin g must supersede it. We need hardly say, however, that such an event is u tterl y improbable. No doubt the aweherrin fishers, even colonists konliisteslyto fa wouldbeilfor tof t gl a b o i. unty, but th ey are not The Yarmouth boatmen would stil l be t atpremiumg of a shilling if Holland or Denm ark g bes on every fish. HEIIALD.—" There is no doubt," says the Times of yesterday, " that the correct principle of taxation is, that every one should contribute to the yearly ex penditure of the country in a fixed proportion to th e amount of property in his p ossession during that year ;" and he informs us that he is supported in this opinion by Mr. Farr, in his evidence before the Select Committee of the House of Commons. We take leave to differ from these high authorities, and shall briefly state our reasons for so doing. A man may possess property in land, houses, shipping, or rail ways, and yet the produce of such property forms the incomes of many individuals besides himself; and, therefore, to tax him because he is the possessor, a n d allow all these others to escape taxation, would simply be a gross injustice. "Let the tax,' says our contem. porary, " be levied on the value: of the property, no matter what they may be, the land in fee, a post in Somerset House, the Treasury, skill in healing human disorders, or in playing on the fiddle." We ask what is the property " in possession" of the man whose income is derived from " playing on the fiddle," or fr om hi s " skill in healing human disorders?" What is the pro perty "in possession" of a man with an income o f 1,000/. a year in Consols ? and what the property lc in possession" of another who "has the reversion of rents twenty of 1,0001. a year after the death of another peeve' , Again, how are we to ascertain the " capitalised value possessed d hority on oft althoughthese industrial e se incomes incomes, may become called doubled n o pe r real t y , " value, lhue en, their nominal amount in pounds sterling re mains the same ?

Legislative enactments, you compel the labouring classes, who produce all our material wealth, to part with twice as much of their labour, or the produce of that labour, to provide the pound sterling wherewith to pay the professional man or tax-gatherer on behalf " of the fundholder, and yet estimat e the capitalised value of their inherent property" (we like the phrase) by a common rule, and tax them accordingly, would there not be good reason to come plain of injustice and fraud, greater even th an can betal any class under the existin g system, bad as it may be ? The really true and equitable principle of taxatio n is, that every memb er of a community should contribute to the public ex penditure of the country in proportion to the amount of national produce or income annually received by ; him. The Tim es has altogether f ailed to fathom the depths of thi s mos t i mpo rtant subjec t, and to enab le us to reach th e b o t tom we must first ascertain th e source of all i ncomes and if we a dmit this to be the soil of this count ry a n d its dependenci es, and the in- EXCURSION TRAINS. A speedy alteration must be made in the system o, excursion trains, or it will become totally impossible to pass along any of the great lines with a reasona bl e amount of safety. What are passengers to do? If the danger only menaced those who travelled by these ex cursion trains, we should have an easy remedy; but the fact is that an excursion train is somewhat in the nature of a cannon ball, which sweeps the surface of the line at uncertain intervals, and which does not invariably share the destruction it scatters around it on its progress. Perhaps it would be the safest thing a passenger could do to take his place about the centre of an excursion train. The train by which he travels will probably run sa e lo o n th g e t r h s e w l h in ie e, h h in u e t y th b a e t wwaiiltlihgat the various only affect the i s n t a to tt Gsnom pas sengers in the first two or three enrrieges. It will also, in all probability, be run into by other trains, but then the passengers in the last two or three carriages will be the victims of that mishap. Meanwhile, the circumspect traveller will sit calmly in the midst of the ruin around him, with his lint and diachylou ready for application, and perorate at his ease against the imprudence et those who have availed themselves of the regular conveyances on lines which are travelled over by excur sion trains. The system is an outrageous one, and from every point of view from which it may be regarded ie obnoxious to the reproach of fraud and of a wilful dis regard of human life. If the companies can afford to carry passengers at these reduced fares, why do they not give every traveller along the line the benefit of the reduction in price? We say if they can afford to do it —that is, to carry out the operation with perfect se acuity to the passengers; for it is a highly criminal act to run more trains along any hue of railway than the staff of the company can properly and efficiently manage. Now, the method by which these excursion trains aro run at so very reduced a scale of fares is simply this: — a particular company engages as many servants as may be requisite for carrying on its regular business. There is just as much to do upon any line of railway as the re gular servants of the company can accomplish with reasonable security against accident. Suddenly the thought strikes some sharp-witted member of the board that, as there is still the perma nent way, the unemployed carriages and loco motives, and the clerks, porters, and servants of the company, it would be a very bright idea to send an additional number of trains along the line at reduced fares. The mere existence of a discrepaeeY between the regular and the fortuitous f are w ill b e sufficient to attract the public. Who would n o t go to Manchester and back, or to Bath and back f or 5 5. ?

THE MEDITERRANEAN FLEET. We have stated that Rear-Admiral Deans Dandas, C. 8., with his fleet, left Gibraltar for Vourla, on the 16th inst. On the 10th 1,000 marines were landed for shore exercise, and on the 11th a body of 1,200 seamen, small-arm men, and twelve guns were landed, and were exercised on the neutral ground, in the presence of the Military Governor, General Sir R. Gardiner and staff. The seamen went through the feld movements with the utmost credit, and the whole sight is described as one of which an Englishman might justly be proud. All went off exc:edingly well; the firing was good, and not a man straggled or was intoxicated. At twelve o'clock at noon the entire force was embarked on board their respective ships, and were at their dinners. The Mediterranean squadron, we hear from all quarters, is a credit to the country, and what is more, the efficient force is a con tented and happy one. Phaeton, 50, Captain G.

The King invited, on the 15th, the officers to a grand dinner on board the Neapolitan steamer the Tan erode. On the 17th another dinner was given to the French by the Neapolitan officers in the arsenal; and on the 22d Admiral do la Susse was to give a grand ball on board the Ville de Paris. The screw squadron Arrogant, 46, Captain R. S. Ro binson; Hightiyer, 21, Captain Matson; Dauntless, 33, Captain Halsted, and Encounter, 14, Captain Gordon, have not yet been reported.

At the request of Captain Henderson, C. 8., of the Blenheim, 58, screw-ship, that vessel will proceed to sea on a cruize for three weeks or a month, to exercise her crew in seamanship and gunnery. The crew of the Blenheim are now complete, as the officers and seamen lately employed in the Odin have returned to her.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. 1V OIiTHEILV CIRCUIT. —Liverpool, Aug. 19. CROSBIE V. YOUNG. This was an action brought by Mr. Croshie,.tail . o . r and drap e r, of Stafford, against the proprietor of lhe Sun, f or a li bel. The defendant p l ea d e d thathe dis closed the author of the libel, and gave up the manu script, in satisfaction of the cause of action. Mr. Sergeant Wiraras, counsel for the plaintiff, stated that an arrangement in this case had been come to on both Bidet) to withdraw a juror. Mr. WATSON., Q.c., f or t h e d e f en d an t, sa id, this action is brought by the plaintiff, Mr. Crosbie, against Mr. Young, who id the editor and publisher of The Sun newspaper, under the following circumstances: — A gentleman brought to Mr. Young a report of a trial which took place in Staffordshire, and on the full assurance that this report was copied from the Staffordshire Advertiser, and that it was a correct report, it got into the newspaper, /n a few days afterwards an application was made to Mr. Young, when he found he bad been imposed upon, and there fore gave up the nam e o f th e author ; an:l he wou:d have inserted anything in his newspaper to remove any imputation from the character of Mr. Crosbie. Ile believes there is no truth whatever in the state ment made against Mr. Crosbie. We have, in Mr. Young, a gentleman of influence and character. Mr. Young has conducted The Sun for many years with the greatest respectability, and he regrets that such a thing should have got into his newspaper. He was imposed upon by a person whom at present I shall not name. _ Mr. Sergeant WILKINS—The only object which my client, Mr. Crosbie, has in coming here is, being a tradesman, depending on his repytation for his well being in society, he wishes to set himself right with the public and with his customers. Mr. Watson has done only what is right in withdrawing the imputa tion from Mr. Crosbie, and expressing regret. Mr. Young, no doubt, has been imposed upon, and the re port in his newspaper was a pure fabrication, without the slightest shadow of foundation. Mr. WATsoN—We have made inquiries, and we find Mr. Crosbie to be a very highly respectable man, and Mr. Young is very sorry. Mr. Young gave him every assistance to obtain redress from the author.

Thomas James Holloway, a respectable-looking lad, 17 years of age, was indicted for stealing a cloth coat, value 61. 10s., the property of Capt. Wm. Shepheard, R.N., his master. Mr. Payne appeared for the prisoner. The material facts of the case were these. The prisoner had been for some months in the employ of the prosecutor, who formerly resided at Woodbine cottage, Ealing, and latterly at 102, Jermyn-street, as messenger and general servant, and it was part of his duty to convey articles to and from the Senior United Service Club, of which the prosecutor is a member. On the 22d of July he went to the club, and from a port manteau or carpet-bag which was lying in the hall, and which belonged to Captain Shepheard, he took a new coat, just sent from the tailor's, and valued at 61. 10s., and went away with it. On the same day he pledged it for 11., and on the 2tth he was given into custody. Captain Shepheard said the portmanteau from which the coat was taken was at the time, if he might borrow a phrase or expression from his Learned Friend on the right (Mr. Payne), in transitu._ (Laughter.) When the coat was taken there was pinned to it an artificial sprig of myrtle, furnished to him by a sweet young lady in the Burlington-arcade. (The coat was produced.) Why, said the Captain (in answer to an inquiry whether he could identify the coat), here is the very pin put in by the young lady herself; but the myrtle is not here. Oh, yes, the coat is mine. My Lord, she is a very pretty young lady, but married. — ( Loud lau g hter.) Mr. PAYNE—Mad! Why then there's a good pair of you. The Captain—Who said she was mad ? I said she was married, Sir. God forb i d that I should say she was mad. Oh no, she's not mad.—(Laughter.) Mr. PAYNE—WeII, captain, you borrowed the phrase in transitu; now, are you yourself not always in a state of transitu? The Captain—No, lam not always in transitu. I wish I was. Mr. PAYNE—Why you are never more than a fortnight without being in transitu to a station-house. The Captain—Yes I am, if they let me alone. Mr. PAYNE—Are you not very often at station houses ? The Captain—Yes, indeed, I am ; but that's not transitu—that's durance, you know.—(Laughter.) I wish you to know that no man ever yet shook the imperturbability of my good humour, and therefore Yea erefore you had better not try it now. But you may. do—try; and you will see. — (Laughter.) I've given you warning, you know. Mr. PAYNE—WeII, are you not the celebrated Captain Shepheard who figures so often at recollect I at the poli ce . no courts ? The Captain—Yes, I am b ; am not responsible for all the me to ask if the papers about me. Allownonsense they put in seen the Morning Herald of you have to-day Mr. PAYNE—No, I h ave not. The ?—(Laughter.) then, I wish you had, for it The Captain—Well, mine, a complete refutation. contains, in a letter of Mr. PAYNE--Were It does indeed. stabbing a man with you not fined at Brantford for I was fined 10s. by a fork ? Captain—Yes, I was. Mr. pAyss_An the , Magistrates. were you not? that well enough.Thls by the magistrates.l improperly,tesi confine . d, too, by the n? . ?g_istr k a rtow Captain—Oh, no. Il u n ot was confined by the Pbutte ry They fined me 108.; r. you know that.—(Laughte ) . Mr. PAYE—And then you suaunoned h' m taming a portmanteau, and he proved y _. money ? The Captain—Yes; that WSs i r Mr. PAYNE—And you produesa op lady with the lovely foot, ma to China as a model, and gistrate to look at, but be , refus the " Exhibition foot,' W i th for de ou owed him witness the e of which was sent bid;Cu wanted the e d—(Loud laughter)— ta in ? The Captain— (With glee)-oh, my friend, That is precisely isigistrate would have been had how delighted t.hhesyo. bad seen it. You would not he seen it ! is I w t it ; no, I'm hanged if you would. have laughed a But yo u used to shoot arrows into her The Captain—Ab, so she said.— Mr. PArumt--00 leg, did y in o ade use of an expression too indelicate to (He here ead and excused himself for using it by as be re pea.---, soling the Court that it was a common technical phrase in the profession he belonged to.) Mr. PAYNE—And you amused yourself sometimes b y biting off dogs' tails.—(Laughter.) The Capt a i n —I tried the thing once on a puppy, but did no t succeed. No, I did not succeed, so I did not try the experiment again. Mr. PAYNE—And you used also to pull flowers out of other people's gardens ? The Captain— hollyhocks—it was only hollyhocks. Oh, ye s , Mr. PAYNE—And you were taken before a magis trate for beating two boys, and fined ? The c C aptain —Yes ; I was tined 51. I was, indeed locked up. But, as you ask the question, ft n Im d u must was locked a s ex plain the circumstances. I was fined 51. I t was on a Saturday, and I had but 2 /. ; and as I could no t ge t the 31. on the Sunday, why,lewas in Coldbath-fields th till Monday. I summoned officers for what they had done, and shall again most certainly. I've put M the whole thing before her the Bowe Department, a au , ajesty's Secretary for shall have the officers up again assuredly, though the magistrate improperly, as you know (winking at the Learned Counsel) dis missed the summons. Mr. PAYNE—And you Bald, " when the wied.is southerly I know a hawk from a a handsaw—ahem, Sh kspe:tr e ." The Captain—And do you never quote ShukApeare ? I beg your pardon, when you do you should quote correctly. Just turn to Hamlet, and see what he says on the subject of the southerly wind, and hawks and handsows, and you will see you are wrong in your quotation. Ahem I've a witness here to prove it. Mr. PAyNE—What, the lady with the lovely foot, who used to live with you as your wife ? The Cap tain—Not the same. It is a lady, though ; would you like to see her ? Mr. Parglt—No, thank you, Captain. How many times have you been locked up in station-houses ? The Captain—Which station- house ? You know I must be particular in answering that question, as I'm on oath. Let me see—twice at Vine -street—once at Westminster. Now, mind, I give you this informa tion gratuitously; it has not yet appeared in the papers.—(Laughter.) It was once for throwing an oyster-shell through a fanlight. Mr. PAYNE—Were you ever in a lunatic asylum ? The Captain (to the Court) — My Lord, to that ques tion I must give a very discursive answer, if I am to answer it at all. If it can be considered that such a question Irs anything to do with the case, I will reply with pleasure ; but I must go on at length it I once begin. • very well, I will not press it. The CP:pirtic )1)' Captain-11' ell, I'm sorry for it. I wish you had. In answer to further questions the gallant Captain said be bad never had conversation of a loose, immoral kind with the prisoner. He might have asked him to PsY a cabman for hi:11, as any gentleman might desire his servant to do, but he bad never asked him to p a y for his dinners. He was not in the habit of c.:rrsing money about with him, because the last time he did he was robbed of sixteen sovereigns, and now he car ried not more than as many shillings. As to the state of his mind, he could refer to Sir s W. Bumet, Dr. Richardson, and Dr. Anderson. He ~ a d s ai d h e should like r all out of ki n dn ess to h i m— (A . laugh)—as he (the okkLve the prisoner transported, but it was Captain) had influential friends at the antipodes who would take care of him and bring him on in the world, while if he went to the House of Correction he would be corrupted and ruined. Mr. PAYNE, in his address to the jury, urged that the prisoner had no intention of stealing the coat. The act of pledging was not necessarily an act of theft; the prisoner had not sold the coat, and by doing so placed it out of his power to restore it to the owner; but be bad thought, from the intimate terms on which he had been with Captain Shepheard, al though he was his master, that he might take the coat and raise upon it a small sum—it was pawned for about one-seventh of its value—to enable him to go into the country to see his sister. It was a dangerous prin ciple to lay down with regard to servants; but, con sidering the extraordinary conduct of the captain, who he thought was crack-brained, and as mad as a March hare, and the terms of familiarity be had been on with the p r i soner , w ho asserted that he bad bad repeatedly stealing Oakley,topay reasonably be inferred that he bad no intention of actuallyzrlr. the fo coat.r the captain's dinners, i t might a partner in the house of Fortnum and Mason, gave the prisoner a good charact er for honesty. The prisoner had been five years in the employ of the firm, and - left of his own accord. The jury, aft er a short consultation, acquitted the prisoner. The prosecutor then went to Mr. Payne and cor dially shook him by th e hand, laughing heartily. $e caused considerabl e m i rt h a saying to " his learned friendeo.n,KA the counsel by Diddler, have you such a thing , my Jeremy as half-u-crown about you?" INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE. The following is the basis of a proposed arrang e_ ment with respect to a reform in the present sy stem of international postage, which has been issued in a circular under the sanction of the association recently formed at the Society of Arts. As it is essential that the postal revenue should be divided in fair propor tion between the contracting parties, and as it is de sirable that each country should be allowed to use itg own coins, weights, and measures, in the collection of that revenue : To satisfy these conditions," says the circular, " the following plan is proposed. Let a postal union be formed between as many countries as possible, on the following simple grounds:— " 1. Each country shall fix a rate of foreign postage at its own discretion, provided that rate be uniform to every country in the proposed postal union, and every part of that country; and that rate shall be prepaid in all cases. " 2. Each country shall engage to receive, transmit, or deliver to its address, free of any charge whatever, any letter pasing to it free from the post-offices of the other subscribing countries. " Ia other words, each country shall levy a revenue on letters outwards, none on letters inwards. " Thus, each country would collect its own revenue in its own coin, subject to its own regulations; uniformity and simplicity would be secured as far as they are prac tically useful to the inhabitants of a country, and cheap ness would come of itself. Indeed no Government would enter into such an arrangement that did not recognise the advantage of cheap postage, and no country would very long charge its citizens much more for the carriage of a letter than a stranger would have to pay for the reply to that letter, when the service rendered is pre cisely the same." Such a plan as this requires only time and the earnest co-operation of a few men to enlist the public, and after the public the Legislature, and after the Legislature the Government, in favour of its prin. ciple, if not of its details. The principle being once conceded, the details will soon shape themselves to the general convenience ; and we cannot bring our selves to doubt but that, sooner or later, the postage of the whole world will be proportionately as cheap as that of Great Britain. Public opinion differs as to the policy of some movements which call themselves by the name of peace ; but this is a peace movement about which there can be no difference, and which is certain to unite in its support as soon as it is suffi ciently known and proved to be practicable, men of all countries, all classes of life, and all shades of opi nion.—lllustrated London News.
