The line for carving the mails. Bat the British line
commenced making weekly trips and the Collins
line longer alternating with the Britisn the Amer
lean hostages fell off, might have been expected.
The British line was considered the regular iine at
least by the British General Post-Oihce, and the
American steamers were treated as transient YES
sells. IL Is for this reason that our Post Oce De-
partment has given notice to the British that we re-
Quire a new postal arrangement with England which
snail secure RECIPROCITY. provided our steamers by
alternating with the Brtsh are able to perform ha
the service
The efTec. of the establishment OF the Collins line
ofs,eaners on the commercial interests OF the coun-
Try. is thus sketched:
When the Cunard steamers first began TO ply, they
charged as high as flO and Gl2 sterling ID tun. AS
the Collins line started these ffelghts came
downt to 81 lOs and nov frelghts from England TO
l. y
United States 10 England to anything that may be
obtained-from 63 Dol. of Flour to 2s 81. Dbl.
Considering that FIcights the greatest obstacle
to the free interchange of commodities, would re-
specially submit whether the Collins line OF steam.
eIs from Newly rk to Liverpool has not stimulated
trade In general, and by shortening the passages,
benefited especially the trade In Provisions and
Breadstuffs. Apples, Lard, Cheese, Beef, &C. are
now carried out to England at a mere nominal
freight and because steamers admit OF a superior
ventilation arrive ont in state OF perfect preseEva-
tion IL is great mistake therefore, to suppose
that ii is merely the seacOast and the Atlantic States
which benefited by regular American steam
communication with England. The West and the
South are equally benefited by it. Western Pfoyis-
ions have been carried In the Collins ne from New
York to Liverpool for less than they could be sen.
down from Albany to the City Of New-York
The Philadelphia Mint have been coming
some samples of new gold dollar and haltdollar
pieces, which thus described The dollar consists
Of fat ring on which there is superscrption, but

The coin may be carried string-a m)st con-
venient and safe way of carrying money. Hafdol-
lar gold pieces, not yet called for by any law have
been sent down. and look very pretty These half
dollar gold pieces would be more convenient still
than the dollar pieces, and may be carried in the
same way.
We gave yesterday statement of the
securities in the New-Jerey Banks The following
statement presents them in tabular shape.
