started and declared himself a rulned man, for he had
lost his pocket book. The book was then handed hin
by the lady, on recovering which the gratitude of the
stranger was unhounded, and on the lady's positive.

CHEAP PosTAGE.--The important Bill
Cor reducing the rates Of Postage on let.
tiers, papers, &c. sent by mail, which pas
sed the Senate on Saturday, establishes
Uniform charge OF five cents for letters
of half ounce, and ten cents for an ounce
weight, and so Oil in the same ratio, to
any part Of the United States. By this
bill the privilege Of fra hiking letters is ta-
ken away from Postmastrrs and other Of.
ficers of Government, with few exceptions,
and in lieu thereof they are to receive
credit for the amount of postage on let
tiers concerning the business Of their res
pective offices.--and severe enactments
are made against the abuses Of the frank.
ing privilege, which are said extensively
to prevail. Members Of Congress are to
retain the ranking privilege as it exists
with the restriction of it TO letters written
by themselves. The provisions of the
Bill look to the complete suppression of
all private mails.
The Bill has yet to pass the ordeal of
the House Of Representatives,

MORE ABOUT THE STORM.

II commenced showing at Bosten early
on Tuesday morning. and continued with
great violence until the afternoon, when
the cars left for Stopington, which they
reached with great difficulty although
they had their iron horses attached. We
see by the Hartford Times, that the snow
feel to the depth Of about lS inches, and
drifted considerably. The Southern mail
was on this account delayed "a hours
AT New Haven. the tide rose TO the al
most unprecedented height Of eighteen in.
ches above the top of the Long Wharf.
At A Ibany, N. Y, the snow fell to the
depth of eighteen inches, blocking up all
The Railroads. On Long Island, the
depth of the snow is estimated at Nv" feet.
At Province. r. L., the Railroad to Bos-
toa was impossible on Wednesday. The
cold was intense at all these places.
The Long Island Railroad was com.
pletely embedded in snow, and could
hardly be cleared for several days.
In some Of the narrow business streets
of New York the snow was piled up to
the height of five feet, to the great detri-
ment of business.
A row Of unfinished houses in New
York, twenty in number, fell down on
Tuesday last by the force Of the wind and
the weight of the snow that had accumu-
lated upon the roofs and floors.-Bah.

WING MOVEMENTS IN HAMP.
SHIRE,

The Wing. of Hampshire held a public meet
10 Romney on the 9th ult., and nominated two
Gets Of Delegates--one to attend Convention to
nominate Csndinate for Congress, the other to
attend Convention to nominate Candidate for
the State Senate. We find in the Romney Intel
iigencer of the 3lst inst, mere abatement Of the
fact with lie, Of the Delegates. Having missed
that paper since, we know not whether the pro-
ceedings Of the meeting have been published at
length, and We are ignorant ofa more important
fact. viz: the time and place appointed for the
m Getting Of the two Conventions.
We have not heard Of movement by the Wings
ofsny other County in the Congressional District,
for the nomination of a Wing Candidate, but on
tho other hand We have heard tho opinion expressed
By many discreet and intelligent Wings, that 1t
would not advance the interests OF the party to
put Candidate into the field sgsins, the Demo-
cratic msjoriy which was ssddled upon us by the
serrymsndsr.
Il 10 time, however, for the Counties Of the
Senssoriai District to be in motion. aud call for
. meeting in Berkeley will be found in another
column Of ,o-days pepper. Berkeley. Hampshire.
and Morgan compose the District, and Containing
ss it does decided Wing majority, every nerve
should be strained to elect Wing Senator by a
decided and triumphant majority.

"At four o'clock yesterday morning, a
terrible fire was discovered to be raging
