THE ISLAND OF MADEIRA.

Commodore MAYO, of the U. S. Naval forces on
the coast of Africa, writing from Funchal Madeira,
July I'd, expresses his entire conviction that the
general representation of the terrible poverty and
suffering brought upon the laboring class on this
Island by the successive failures of the vintage has
been in no degree exaggerated. He says
In passing over the island have been forcibly i'm
pressed by the gratitude exhibited towards our people
for the prompt and efficient aid extended to Madeira in
her necessity and have felt most proud Of that ar
reaching charity that knows limit Of nation or language
but has sought out the faminesricken sufferers IN TINS
distant island.
There is every to fear that the distress OF the
coming year will be greater than that which is past
and our countrymen may still find trustworthy objects Of
their charity in this island so beautiful but by the vs
tation Of Providence so full Of misery

United STATES AND BREMEN ARRANGEMENT
REDUCTION OF POSTAGE.

we are authorized to say that Postal Conyen-
ton has been concluded between our Post Office
Department and the Post Office of the Hanseatc
City OF Bremen, (the Minister from Bremen, Mr..
H. ScHLEIDEN, acting for the latter) by which the
postage TO Bremen by the steamers of the United
States and Bremen line is at once to be reduced
from twenty to ten cents the single rate; and this
latter rate is to be charged also on letters to and
from Bremen for all States beyond, whose postage
to or from that city shall not exceed five cents the
single rate. On letters for States beyond Bremen
whose postage to or from that place is over FIVE
cents, the single rate between the United States and
Bremen is to be fifteen instead of twenty cents.
Hence it is made for the interest Of the German
States to that their rate to Bremen is not over
Age cents that they may at once, if they please,
Joy the advantage Of rate not exceeding fifteen
cents 10 and from any part Of the United States
