scarcely comes under the financial head:
A carriage containing two ladies', who
represented themselves as mother aud
daughter. stopped at the outer gate Of the
Aims House, over the Scbuy lkilI, on Thurs.
day last, when the youngest informed the
keeper that her mother was ANXIOUS 10 oh
tain a white child, an infant, if possible to
adopt as her own, she having lately lost one.
She was shown several, and al last made a
selection that pleased her, and requested
PERMISSION 10 shew il TO her mother who was
10 the carriage, and if it suited her, they
would obtain an order from the Guardians
Of the Poor, and rail- 10 a day or two for tt.
be child was wrapped up N his cradle
clothes and taken by herself 10 the carriage,
and alter a few minutes delay she returned
and placed the babe where she found il sta.
ting that they would call mex, day and take
II away. The carriage was then driven off
aud nothing further vas thought the trans
action until it become necessary 10 rcnoye
the child for some cause, when IT was die
covered that tho white child had been taken

Reduction of Postage.

We trust that the universal expression
which has been made throughout the coun.
try in favor of a reduction IN the rates of
postage, will not be disregardcd at the pre-
sent session Of Congress. 4 reduction can
be aflorded-thc rates now beng cXorbl-
tanty high, and a reduction would be only
in accordance with the spirit of the age
Cheap communication BY correspondence,
as well as cheap travel by steam, is the or
der ofthe day. To aid the work, we cheer.
fully insert the following Circular RAJ.
Register.
To THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES:
The British Government have set an eX-
ample to this country, well worthy Of iml.
alton. 1t is the reduction of Postage.
In country where every farthing that
an be raised BY taxation, direct or indirect,
is wanted 10 carry on the government, the
postage has been reduced, all over the
kingdom, to one penny for every letter not
exceeding ! an ounce IN weight. The
Parliament has yielded to the wishes and
petitions Of the whole people, upon reason.
able proof that the revenue would be a
great by low, as by high rate OF postage
The wants Of our people for a CHEAP
communication through the mails are a,
great as those Of the people Of England
Our condition, however, IS different, the
English Postage can safely be reduced tc
one penny, 1t is not probable that ours car
be reduced TO two cents, five cents, and tel
cents, according to the distance which the
mail has to be carried. The advantage,
Of such reduction are apparent to every
man, woman, and child, who has inter.
course Of business or friendship out Of then
own immediate neighborhood.
There is but one way TO get It done, anC
that is to send IN Petitions from all quar-
tiers Of the country. We, therefore, re
commend the following form OF Petition.
To the Senate and House Of Representatives il
Congress assembled
Your Petitioners believe that 1t woulC
be a great benefit OF the People Of the |
States, social, moral, political, and pccu
mary, to reduce the Postage On Letters
They therctCse pray that It may be reduc
ed 50 that the greatest postage on any SIN
/ gle letter shall not exceed ten cents.
