Liuingston's Code.-A very able and in structive pamphlet has lately issued from the press of A. T. Pcnniluan & Go. in this city It is entitled "Remarks on the Hon. Edward Livingston's introductory report to his sys- tenn of Penal l.aw.' It is from the pen of Seth Lewis, judge of the 5th judicial district We give the conclusion of it below :--the ar gument advanced in 1t against our adopting MT L's. code, drawn from the peculiar clause incur constitution, is entitled to great weight, and is almost conclusive. No people on earth can make the experiment of change ill their law with such risk as those of Louisiana. We recommend the whole pamphlet to the atten- tion of our fellow citizens. It will amply re pay them for the trouble of reading and stu dying it, and no one, we will venture to say, can rise from the perusal of it without respect for the learning and patriotism of the orthor. The extract given below struck us as pecu- liarly cogent, eloquent, and impressive.
 !" have thus, to the best of my ability. and within the limited time my official duties have permitted me to devote to the subject, examined the arguments MT Livingston has advanced in favour of that entire change in our criminal jurisprudence which is contem- plated by his code, and which he so earnest ly urges our legislature to adopt. And 1t IS now left to the people, to whom these remarks are respectfully addressed, to say, whether the objections to the new code which for merly had the honor of addressing to them, have been removed or whether they are not rather left in all their force by the arguments MT. Livingston has advanced in opposition to them. In my judgment, he has not even weak ened their force, much less removed any of them.
 |" In closing this work, do not profess to have pointed out all the defects in these new codes. Many have been seen which l have neither room nor leisure to point out ; and un-

.dmerican Small Coins.-Mr Editor: Per ceiving in the Journals of Congress that an application has been made to them respect ing supply of small coins of our own coun- try, to circulate instead of the foreign coins now almost exclusively used, thought it a good opportunity to make suggestion or two respecting what it seems to me Congress ought to do, to secure the currency of their own small coins.
 It is true that they cannot exactly. legislate the light, small change out off use; because its

actual value being always little less than its nominal value, it is the interest of banks and brokers, and all who deal in money, to promote it's circulation. But I think Congress oughtE to do what they can to encourage. the use of our own coins, and the general adoption of our own established and legal mode of reckoning money. At least, they ought not to do any thing calculated to prevent or retard the sub stitution of urbeautiful and simple divisions of money for the perplexed and vexatious divis- ions of the Gold tenor''
 But in fact, in the department which has most to do with small coins, the Post Office, Congress have entirely thrown out their own divisions of coin, and arranged the whole table ot postages in reference to the coins of for eign nations. We have postages of six cents, ten, twelve and half cents, eighteen and three-quarter cents, and twenty-five cents, only two of which, and those of least frequent occurrence, can possibly be paid in Ameri- can coin.
 Not only so, but the arrangement subjects the designation of postage to the variety of currencies which prevailed in our colonial days In the different provinces. A letter comes from Boston to New Haven, and the postage IS nine pence (12J cents. If it comes to NewYork, it is called eighteen pence, Q88.) The same postage in Philadelphia is named .leven penny bit and fppenny bit, or by abbreviation, alevvy and ftp. And so on.
 Now, if we consider the amount of money that passes through the post offices, all in small sums, and the multitude of times that change is made for postage, it will be seen that this alone is sufficient to perpetuate the use of this absurd nomenclature. And if Con gress would now arrange tariff of postages, according to the nomenclature of the Federal currency, great step would be taken to- wards getting rid of these exploded terms And thus perpetual demand would be ere ated for American small coins, which would tend powerfully to keep them in circulation, and to drive out the inconvenient pieces we receive from foreign nations
 If it were found practicable, think addi- tional simplicity might be given to postage af- fairs, if ratio were adopted, by which the postage should increase in ratio correspon- ding with the increase of distance. Thus,

We have been permitted to take q copy of the fol- lowing letter. from Mir ADAMS to gentleman in this city, for publication. The subject itself is nte resting, but that interest Is greatly enhanced by the scientific, and instructive manner in which the sub- ect is treated by the distinguished writer. The let ter 1t may be proper to mention, elicted by the following circumstance. Several years ago. the gen. teman referred to, had the pleasure of passing day with MT ADAMS, in Massachusetts, during which turn in the conversation led the latter to speak of the properties of platina, and the advantages which that metal possessed for the purposes of coin &c. The appearance few days ago, of an article in a New York paper mentioning the recent coinage of this metal, by the Russian Government, reminded the gentleman of the observations of Mir ADAMS he sent him the paper, and the following letter was the consequence. We have not a copy of the article referred to- or would insert that also, for the bet ter understanding of the subject
 WASHINGTON, February 7, 1881.
 DEAR SIR: Accept my thanks fer the kind transition of the Evening Post, containing the very interesting article upon the new Russian Platina Coin; and also of reminding me of one of the most pleasant days that l remem- Der to have passed, although the conversation respecting the use of Platina for coinage, had escaped my recollection. The project of coinng Platina was, if not originally conceiv- ed, most eagerly pursued by the late very in genious Dr Brick Bchlman. In the year 1915, he presented Memoir on this subject, to several of the Governments of Europe-to France, Great Britain, and Austria, as I think he himself informed me. The specific gra- vity and intense solidity of Platina, render it in some degree manageable for conng.- The usual instruments employed at Mints for gold and silver, not being of sufficient power to stamp distinct impression upon the metal, Dr Bohlman had invented an instrument ade- quate to that purpose and at the Mint in Pa ris, had caused to be struck, impressions of several of the medals of Napoleon, some oi
