70 the postaEe foreign letters generally. namely that

be the sane 10 al countries 81 scrbns the Convention;
that the postage be prepad II 81 cases. and caEe what
ever made delivery Of the letter Thus each country
will take ell TIE postage on oE90irg and HcoHIin1
letters ard that consequently q. Goszfs between the

From printed circular Of the Association observe
that st meeting Of the Council held on the Oh JAn1sTy
1873, II was resolved:
Tk.; the first object Ct the Association 10 extend re
system q uniform penny postage already IN operation De-
tween the United Kingdom ard the eanel lsaaeS 20 the
vyo. o the British Colonies and Possessions The total
amount Of postal derived rom al the colonies does
exceed 4zoooco year The whole obviously, coz q
10: be sacrificed by the proposed bat woud be
sound national policy sbandon the whole 20 pro-
mote eninenf degre the commerce, educs-on free
dom Of communication and FRENZY relations between the
colonies and the mother country"
The main principles Of the Association are indicated oy
the following resolutions Of the l0th OF August:
That IL appears % this Association that al the srga-
ments used by Mr. Rowland HUI IN favor OF the justice o.
uniform Of postage in the United hinedo apply eeI
tany 10 Colonial and probably 10 foreign
- That the of conveyance, 80 was proved y iI
Rowland Hill IL regulated far more by the NUMBER o. e1
ters sent than by the distance they are conveyed ana
that Therefore uniform rate for al distances appears
most Just -. r
this principle the recent adoption OF uniform rates or
pripted papers some Of our colonies
20 That prspavnent with its simplicity and convent
ence applies to colonial and foreign IS well as to inland
correspOndence."

BRIDGING THE SUsauEHANNA.-The MARYLAND
Legislature will probably pass law authorizing
the bridging OF the Susquehanna river, which
ought to have been done years ago; but Maryland
will exact from every passenger who passes over
the bridge per capita tar Thus passengers are
taxed ST. 80 by the Railroad Company to 20 from
Washington to Baltimore, distance of thirty
eight miles, while the railroad fare from New
York to Albany, distance of one hundred and
fifty miles, is only 81. Maryland, however,
exacs one fifth Of the fare paid to the company or
about thirty six cents from every passenger who
visits the seat Of Government. To this is now
proposed to add fifteen cents additional. This is
hching from the pockets of travellers in order to
pay the expenses of the State, and one effect of
such Legislation is to turn persons in different d.
rection of travel. Very many passengers go South
now by sea, some to Norfolk, others to Savannah.
Charleston, and New Orleans, who but for such
exactons would take the land route.
