Our auctions have been in full blast. but in the
STYLES offered there has been evident Decline as all
or nearly all of the importers have run their stocks
down to a low point and sales which take place from
this time must necessarily be composed OF goods oil
which there is a redundancy in the market, OF snch
styles as suited TO the passing omen' and adapt
cd merely TO the taste, and to keep over would be
ruiu0us.
The manfcsts of the ships now arriving show
decrease in the goods coming forward, and prove our
position that the bulk Of the spring importation is
over,-cvcn among those goods received, many are
for fall trade, aud will not be exhibited in our i'm
portcrs warehouses till spring trade is over. Some
Of them OF course will be sold for export, aud as
they will go from government warehouse direct 10
the ship, their New York importation will never be
felt IN our market.
French Goods--The market for the past season
has been uncommonIy well supplied with French
fabrics and in sly les the matter has been rather
overdomc. The bulk, however, is now disposed Of
and the warehouse of the importers and auction
rooms show diminished stock, both IN quantity and
quality. Goods received per steamer Hermann were
Immediately crowded off through the auction room,
and although sold at loss, the importer considered
the first loss the best.

more expected this season. Black goods are

The California bound ships Grey Hound and jane
Parker.-We have frequently been asked the ques-
ton lately by of the friends of the passengers
port the latter part of January, wherefore it is, pro-
badly, that they have not yet been spoken with or
seen. Our answer has been, that TO avail of favor
able winds, it is customary for such outward bound
vessels TO stretch away S. Eastcry towards the coast
Of Africa, where they almost quite out OF the
track of vessels bound TO the U. States, and where
but few others except those from around Capcs Horn
or Good Hope, steering for Europe, as is the case
mentioned below, are likely to be met with. The
"Brooklyn'' had stood too the W csern coast OF
Africa and mad in consequence got bccamed, which
enabled Cant Richardson to write letter and send
il on board the Hamburg ship, the master of which
sent it ashore at Falmouth, he passed through the
English channel, and thus it reached its destination.
At the time of writing the suboned letter. the Grey
Hound and Jane Parker may have been within a few
days sail of the Brooklyn, not having yet lost the
n E. winds, and il is in this way that vessels, some
times, which sail last arrive first in port, although
they are not the fastest sailcrs.

POSTAL ARRANGEMENT WITH BREMEN

POSTAL ARRANGEMENT WITH BREMEN'
On the 9th ult. the Postmaster General sent mes
saue TO Congress- giving the plan aud terms OF post
al arrangement which had been some time agreed
upon with the government of Bremen. The arrange
ment is entirely reciprocal and the intercourse by
mail between the inhabitants OF the United States
and those of the German States will be almost as
free and simple if both parties lived under one
and the same government. The following is an alb
stract of the Postmaster's report
The American mails, conveyed In our steamers,
are received at the mouth of the Weser, some forty
miles Glow the city of Bremen whence they are con
veyed by the Bremen Government, tree OF charge,
their postage being RENTED on our mails and all
mails sent to and from this country under the new
a rangcment.
On the German lines beyond Bremen the mails TO
and from the United States conveyed at uniform
rates, even lower than the range OF their own lhu
postage rates, and fully fit per cent lower IMAM
The rates fixed ly of the German States IN
their arrangements with other nations by inc new
arrangement the Bremen Post Office becomes an
agent of our Post Office Department not only Tor the
distribution and forwarding of our mails, but Tor the
collection and payment of all American hostages that
NAV be pre- paid collected Ill Germany, at lhe
same commission that is allowed 10 our own local
Postmasters. In like manner the Bremen depart
ment will collect and pay over to the several Euro
pean governments participating IN the arrangement
their postage money which may have been prepaid
or collected IN the United States .
The privilege of sending correspondence IRON eilh-
or country to the other, with the postage unpaid or
paid at the option of the sender either In whole
or in part has been arranged with all parts OF Ger,
many, except the Austrian dominions Bavaria ana
Baden. As soon the government OF Bremen can
secure this privilege for itself from these govern
ments, or any others in Europe, the United States
are to be allowed participate in the arrangement
In short, the new treaty has effected all between
Germany and the United States that has been ac-
complishcd by the recent postal arrangement be-
tween the United States and Great Britain Below
will be found list of all the foreign postage rates as
adjusted by the Bremen arrangement, which may DC
