NEw POSTAL ARKASGKnKSr-OuR PosrAI. TRsA-
ny WIN GREAT BRITAs.-We give, in another
part Of to-day's paper, Official document, issued
by the Postmaster General at Washington, con-
tanning, in full, the details Of the postal treaty re-
Gently entered into between the United States and
Great Britain.
The particulars are arranged in chapters, under
appropriate heads, and comprise the regulations
between the respective Offices Of exchange, regu-
lations respecting the exchange of correspondence,
progressive rates of postage, &c, letter bills, &C.
Acknowledgement Of receipts, accounts, &c, dead,
missent and returned letters and table Of in struc
TONS. We would recommend all our readers to
post the document in their places Of business, for
they will find II valuable reference.
Out Of evil, it is said, good comes. Il has been
particularly in the Of our foreign postal re-
lations. Mr. Cave Johnson managed to knock
them into pie, and. by his bungling and msma-
nsgsment, rendered treaty necessary. The re-
suit is, that our citizens can now send letter TO
any part Of the world, with the assurance that il
will reach its destination, and can know to a cent
what the postage will be.

This is certainly better than the Boston line has
done; but this is not all-for, besides these divi
dends, the company has expended, cut of the
earnings of the line, $4,000, in putting up iron In
place of copper wire the whole length of the line.
Much has been said about the irregularity of the
telegraph, and its uncertainty, but both greatly
exaggerated. Between New York, Albany, and
Troy, during the year l04S, (not including Sun
days,) the line worked three hundred and thirteen
days, not losing single day; between Utica and
New York, with loss Of two days only; between
Syracuse and New York, nine days loss; between
Rochester and New York, twenty-six days loss |;
between Buffalo and New York, twenty-nine days
loss. The whole length of the line is five hundred
and ten miles. This certainly is something to be
proud Of, and is perfection as think pos
sbe. Sill, however, the business of telegraphing
is only in its infancy

TROUBLES OF THE CoDIFIERs.-The new code
oflega practice appears to be made up, all through,
of trouble and vsxation. After bothering and an
noying the public by their mode of reform, which
is as old the locomotion of the crab, or Irish
buls-that is to say, it is a reform backwards-the
commissioners very naturally set to work to tor
ment and bite one another. A very mysterious
communication from John c. Spencer, one of these
commissioners, has been going the rounds of the
papers, setting forth, affecting to set forth, the
reasons which impelled him to infict upon the
State the terrible calamity of resignation of his
Office. There were only three of these commits
sioners; but they could not agree-nay, they could
not keep their temper! They were, in fact, law
yers; and even the marvellous new code could NOT
teach them the propriety and wisdom of the advice
of a transcendently illustrious poet =
60! little children never let
Your angry passions rise;
Your little hands never made
To tear each others eyes,"
Hence, Mr. Spencer, like prudent man, cuts the
whole concern. We hope that peace will go with
HIM, now that he is free of "the CODE" VIII CHI is
pretty generally regarded as one of the greatest
humbugs of the age.

with bread. She was first amused by throwing
the crumbs into the water when she eat her meals
on the stones Of the bank, and seeing the fish dar

has ted them regularly since. Strange as il may
seem, they know her voice; On our requesting
her to feed and call them, she did so, and called

could see the turtle popping their heads up over
the pond, then swim to her and take the bread
from her hands. The fish did the same; several

all Sizes Hooked around her, perfectly tame. Tho
