CONDUCT OF STAGE DRIvERs-WHoLEsoMr YER.
pIcr.-We find IN our law reports, the decision of
ajury, of very great Importance to the community
An old lady by the name Of Mrs. Llbden, we be
heve, wac, by the brutality of one of the drivers o.
Murphy's line Of stages, knocked down and
disabled. She brought an action against the
proprietor fo- damages, and the jury very quickly
rendered verdict Of fifteen hundred dollars
damages, tor breaking the old lady's arm. This
verdict of the jury ought to be held up to every
stage proprietor and driver of New York, for
yeart come. 1t should be printed IN the largest
letters, and posted in the most conspicuous places
throughout the city. 1t 10 the FIRST wholeso m-
check that we have seen given to the brutality
which has Tor a series of years past mark ed the
stage drivers of this city. As class of men, they
are, perhaps, no better or worse than any other
class; bat of late have heard instances of their
brutal and savage conduct, which it is disre puta-
BILE to any community to permit with IMMUNITY.
The jury in this case, deserve the thanks of the
whole community.

The Postal Treaty with England.


We find in one of our contemporaries the postal
treaty with England, which has just been con-
frmed by the Senate. and which possesses great
interest to the people OF both countries. 1t will be
found in our columns to- day. On looking over Its
provisions, however, we find great deal of diff
Guilty arriving at its exact practical deductions,
In a variety OF points. In some of the statements
put forth by the journals at Washington is stated
hat by this treaty, the postage on letters between
he two countries may be paid IN advance or not
at the option of the persons putting them In the
post office. II is, however, stated, that it
cessary to prepay newspapers on all occasions
Now, on examining the provisions OF the treaty,
we are somewhat in doubt whether this last point
is imperative or not. We mean the prepayment of
newspapers. Again, are in doubt another
point. In the transition of newspapers from the
United States, and passing through England to the
continent, we are not certain whether the rate Of
postage ID two cents or four. According to our
interpretation, the sea postage appears to be two
cents ; and the inland postage, IN addition for
going through England Is two cents more, making
in all four cents, on American newspapers going
to the continent, and passing through England.
But even of this we are not sure that our inter-
probation Is correct.
On the whole, therefore, while we give the
treaty in its own terms to our readers have yet
to get the Postmaster Generals directions, or a
public notice, order to ascertain Its exact mean
ing on a variety of points, which do not appear to
be clearly expressed in the terms of the treaty, or
IN the correspondence OF Mr.. Bancroft.
