New Book,

The STATUTES AT LARGE AND TREATIES OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, from December /,
1915, to March 3, 1851. Arranged in chronicle
gical order. With References TO the matter OF
subject. By authority of Congress. Edited by
GEORGE MiNoT, Esq, Counsellor at Law. Vol.
TX. PIP. 1865. Boston CHARLES c. LITTLE and
JAMES BRowN. 1851.
In this volume, the annual publication of the
Laws, SC, by the same publishers, from 1916 to
1851, inclusive, are bound up together. In the
nual publication the public and private acts and
treaties are kept distinct. Here the same plan is
followed. All the public acts from December 8,
lS45, to March 3, 1851, inclusive, placed to-
and all are PACED consecutively. The most of the
volume is of course composed of the public acts !;
and they of the chief importance to the lawyer.
There are but few lawyers, however, who do not
have occasion to refer to the private acts and to the
treaties, land to them this volume furnishes what they
need. This is especially the with the treaties.
Questions of law, growing out Of the widely extend
ed commercial relations of the country, depend not
unfrequently upon the terms Of treaties, and it is
therefore of the greatest convenience to have at
hand collection of the different treaties with
foreign countries. The general accuracy of
this edition of the Laws is now fully appreciated.
The volume is published by authority of Congress,
and the annual publication by these publishers is
tho o,'iy official ediinn- and th~ e"y edition.
The volume is also of general interest. The whole
legislation of this country for six years, and the
results of its diplomatic intercourse during that
time, here given. Whoever knows these laws
and treaties, and their history, knows the history
of the country for that period.

One Of the letter-writers from this city en-
lightens his readers at the North with story
that the POSTMASTER GENERAL, by late de.
cision, authorizes members of Congress to frank
letters to their destination in any foreign coun-
try, and that such decision is contrary to for
mer decision of the Department. Upon in
qury at the General Post Office we learn that
there is not the slightest foundation for such a
statement.
Franked letters TO ENGLAND or other foreign
countries, transmitted under our postal treaty
with Great Britain, are chargeabe as unpaid
letters with the full rate of inland, sea, and for
eign postage.

We notice that the Washington correspond
ent of northern newspaper announces that
Colonel FITZ HENRY WARREN, Second Assist
ant Postmaster General, has been promoted to
the office of First Assistant, and that General
5. ID. JACOBS, the First Assistant, has been APP
pointed Second Assistant
Upon inquiry at the proper Department, we
are authorized to say that that statement is in

The Postmaster General in his revision of
the regulations of the Department, has conclu-
ded to change the duties of those officers, and
on the l5th instant the First Assistant will be
transferred from the CoNTRAcT to the APPOINT

the Appointment to the Contract Office.
The change is to be one of duties-not of
offices.
Editors who have copied the announcement

his digestive organs prevented him from tasting

The Hungarian Refugees.

A telegraphic despatch informs us that the
United States steam frigate Mississippi arrived
at New York yesterday from Gibraltar, whence
she sailed on the 9Th ult. She brings about
forty Hungarian refugees, who had been COM
panions of kossUTE in his exile. Another de-
spatch states that kossUTH was to sail from
Liverpool in the steamer Asia on Saturday
last
In another column we give pretty full ac-
count of proceedings connected with KossUTH' s
rooopto" at Southampton, which appears to
nave been as flatterlng as his most sanguIne
friends could desire. The London papers of
the 9th ult. have extended reports Of speeches
made on the occasion of banquet given by the
Mayor of Southampton. KossUTH awaited him
self of the opportunity tc deliver himself of an
elaborate exposition of Hungarian history, the
causes Of the rupture with Austria, and the lead
ing features the prolonged struggein which he
bore so conspicuous a part. Mr.. Golden and
others declared their warm sympathies with their
guest. MIR. Crosby, United States Consul at
Southampton, went little further, expressing
hope that, at no distant day, the Government
Of this country, in conjunction with the Gov
eminent of England, would be found willing to
interfere more decidedly than they had done in
any struggle that may take place between the
peoples and the absolutist sovereigns of Eu-
rope. Both at Southampton and Winchester
KossUTH paid warm compliments to the people
and institutions Of England and the United
States.
