From the Courier and Enquirer.

"The National lnielligcncer says, tha
in view of the failure of several parties
in Europe, on whom bills have been
drawn by emigrans in this country, il
is proposed to establish IN international
post office money-ordcr department ny
the United States and Great Britain,
through which rcmittances can be made
AT such rate OF exchange as will barely
cover the cXpenccs of tie department,
and thus insure perfect ere lit and sale
~. The amount sent by cmigrants to
their poor relations in Europe is cstIma-
ted at over two millions OF dollars annu-
ally"
In addition to the foregoing, we find
that the London Press as called atten-
tion to this subject; and most cordially
do we concur in the opinion, that some
thing must be done, and that promptly.
We OF course perceive all the objections
whch exist to any such arrangement a.
is suggested, on the pant Of Government
Nothing is more certain than that Gov
ernment should never attempt that
Which can be better done by private en-
terprlsc. We are very sorry TO learn
that by single failure which occurred
recently, at least fifty thousand dollars
of the funds of the hard working poor
Of this country, transmitted for the pur-
pose Of bringing out their relatives from
Ireland, have been lost, and the great
est distress in consequence experienced.
This is by no means the first occurrence
of the AinI. We have long felt the alb
solute necessity Of a remedy and there
fore it Is, that we learn with unmingled
satisfaction, thai private enterprise, uni
ted TO an enlarged philanthropy, has
suggested the most efficient remedy.
We are glad to hear it stated that the
last steamer brought letters from the
grea, House Of Barring Brothers & CO.,
to the equally conspicuous House on this
side ofthe Atlantic GrinncI, Minton &
Co.. calling their attention TO the great
extent of the losses which have occurr.
