the start Grinashaw had the reins. All would appear to
have gone well until nearing Paper Mills Gate, a little more
than a mile from the starting-point. Here a lane on the
left leads towards Ditton, and it would seem that the horse
jibbed and wanted to go down this lane. The servant got
down and led the horse through the toll-gate ; but the ac-
count of what took place afterwards, until the vehicle was
found upsot in the ditch, with poor Grimshaw under it
dead, and the servant a short distance off insensible, and, -
as was ultimately proved, with a dislocated shoulder, is not
very clear. Tho body of deceased was conveyed to tho
Globe Inn at Paper Mills. On Thursday morning a tele-
gram Was desp•ttehed to summon Mrs. Grimshaw, but it
was not until she reached Cambridge that the full amount
of her bereavement was broken to her. She was only
married to her late husband in March last. Nicholson

On Thurslay evening, at 7 o'clock, an inquest was held
on the remains at the Globe Inn, before Frederic Barlow,
Esq. When evidence in accordance with the above facts
was advanced, the groom, Richard Nicholson, who appeared
with his arm in a sling, stated that he remembered
nothing from the time the vehicle was upset. The medics,
evidence stated that in all probability death was caused by
concussion of the brain. Deceased had no bones broken.
The Jury returned a verdict of Accidental D4ath.

The Postal Rate between England and the
United States.

There is an immense postal communication be-
tween the United Kingdom and the United States.
Steamers ply almost every day between the At-
lantic sea-board and the ports of Great Britain,
and the mails are carried with the greatest rapidity
and ease. Considering the vast numbers of letters
forwarded, and the facility with which the means
of transport is supplied, the charge is beyond all
proportion greater than that of any other postal
service we possess. A letter from Liverpool to New
York costs one shilling. Just as much as a letter to
Sydney—covering the answer back again to Eng-
land. Thus a letter can be forwarded by steam
round the world at the same cost as from London
to New York. A new Line has been opened be-
tween the Australias and Panama, and a letter can
be despatched from England, across the Isthmus,
and on to the Antipodes at exactly half the rate of
a similar epistle from Liverpool to New York. The
postal arrangements between the countries thus
makes a small part twice as great as the whole—a
manifest absurdity--and one which requires prompt
revision. The relations between England and Ame-
rica are full of contradictions ; acts being totally
inconsistent with professions. We profess an
ardent desire for the closest intimacy, and we erect
barriers on the road which leads most directly to
what we profess to wish. Statesmen and authors
unite in deploring sentiments of and urge
the advisability of a close connection and brotherly -
alliance. It is thus the subject is discussed, when-
ever the question comes directly—Whether Eng_
land and America are to be friends or foes ? Yet

the nations persist in misunderstanding.each other.
They comment sarcastically on each other's failings
--misconceive and misrepresent each other's
motives—and often, we regret to add, rejoice over
each other's dangers and difficulties. A message
conveying American political intelligence through
" Reuter's Telegraph," is given in words which
are offensive to the majority of American residents.
The British misconceive the objects and intentions
of the mass of the American people in the great
questions which are now receiving their solution in
the United States. The Americans equally mis-
understand, and comment with almost as much
ignorance on British rule in Ireland and India.
They build up hp.stile tariffs more to *lade British
manufactures than to increase the Revenue. The
one nation aided and encouraged the South in its
futile and disastrous attempts to dismember the
Union, and the other encourages the disaffected
party in Ireland in a wild and absurd conspiracy
against British rule. Both manage to do each
harm, while the policy adopted by each cannot pos-
sibly lead to good. At the same time both nations
acknowledge their kindred ties, both entertain for
each other a deep-seated respect, and both feel
that united—as they ought to be—there would be
little to fear for the progress of the Anglo-Saxon
race. The truth is, that the nations are jealous of
each other. In reality there arc no clashing inte-
rests; on the contrary, the reverse is the case. Their
interests run in the same groove, a check to the
prosperity of the one being very quickly felt by the
other. Their fields of enterprise are distinctly
marked, and-cannot- cross each other on any line. -
A more intimate connection would eventually lead
both peoples to see that they are intended by nature
for allies, not enemies; and one of the main steps
to produce this intercourse is a reduction in the postal
rates between the countries. Such a reduction be-
tween people writing in the same language has never
led to a loss of revenue, the increase in communica-
tion making up for the decrease of rate. This is a
well-established fact, which has been acted on with
good results over the British Empire. Postal com-
munication, both throughout the United States and
throughout her Majesty's dominions, has been re-
duced to the lowest possible charge and the greatest
efficiency. We have every facility for forwarding
our letters from one to the other side, but because
the Governments are distinct the people are barred
from the benefits, the transports for which we have
all to our hand. Since the close of the four years'
war the tide of commerce has flowed between the
countries more strongly even than before it was com-
menced. The number of passengers carried by the
steamers between England and America is greater
than ever, and is likely to increase till it becomes
greater beyond all comparison than what it has been.
It is clearly advisable to encourage this personal in-
tercourse, and one of the best means is to remove
restrictions to postal communication. If we can
once establish a step in this direction, we feel confi-
dent it will lead in the end to a very material reduc-

tion.
• The London correspondent of the Philadelphia
Enquirer alleges that the difficulty in reorganising
the Ocean Postal system rests with the United
'States Government. If so, we wish Congress would
act in this matter, as it concerns Americans even
more than the English. There are ten American
this
travellers in Europe for one English traveller in
America, and putting commerce as efl"al,
fact would give a heavy balance of accommodation
to the American side. Not only is the charge exor-
bitaut, but the carriage of the letters is irregular.
If this can be said of the letters, it can be said even
more strongly with respect to the newspapers and
