Ihe following are the diplomatic salaries as pro-
posed by the new bill:
Great Britain. $l7 SOC
France aud China .................. Is, 00C
Spain, Russia Austria, and Prussia. ....... $4,000
Brazil and Mexico .... 10000
Turkey, Peru, and Chilli observation-disclosures. 5000
Switzerland, Rome, Naples, Sardinia, Belgium,
Holland, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, Argen-
tine Republic, New Grenada, Bolivar, Ecuador,
Venezuela, Guatemala, and Nicaragua... $500
The Secretaries of Legation to the above mis-
sions are, according to their importance, divided
into three grades, at 81 500, $4,000 and $2,25O,
respectively, except to Great Britain, which is
$4,000; to China $4,000.
As regards the salaries to the above different
Courts, SO far as the expense of living and the i'm
portance Of the mission is concerned we can see no
reason why there should be any difference between
Great Britain and France, nor why SO great differ
ence should be made between those two missions
and those to Russia, Austria, Prussia, and Spain,
all of which are highly important missions and
very expensive capitals. 1t would add but little to
the aggregate expense to place the missions to all
those six Powers on footing of equality, and fix
the salary to each at $4,000 At So 1000, without
outfit or return allowance, the new compensation
will not even be equal to the present one, taking
the average term of service at four years, which it
seldom exceeds:
Four years, at present salaries Of $9000... 900
Outfit and return allowance. l3, 500
Making for the four years.................. 49,500
Equal to S12,375 per annsm. Circumstances
certainly do not justify any reduction in the present
rate of compensation, and $15 900 per annum would
be but reasonable rate for the salaries to those
Courts, and particularly with the restriction that it
was not to until they arrive at their post,
and is to cease SO soon as their successor arrives
instead, as heretofore commencing when the APP
pointment is made and continuing until the return
to the United States.
1t would probably also be advisable if the rep
to those posts where the salary is less
than $4,000 had only the rank of Ministers Resi-
dent; for in Europe, where every thing Of the
kind is regulated and understood with great preci
sion, Minister Resident is not expected to live on
the same scale as = Minister Plenipotentiary; and

The false position in which this places representative

often OF serious inconvenience to his nation If mpor-
tant objects are to be accomplished with the Cabinet the
goodwill Of the ruler greatly facilitates them and this

The bill provides secretary for each legation and this
required both BY the services to be performed and by
prudential considerations without such an officer the

COUNTERFEIT QUARTERs.-The N. Y.
Journal of Commerce calls the attention
of the public to a counterfeit quarter Of
dollar, which is the closest imitation
in appearance of the genuine coin,
which ever fell under its notice. 1t
was taken at the post Office, and paid
into the Sub-Treasury, where it was
detected by the weigher and tester of
coin. This counterfeit appears to be
made of zinc or other bright metal, is
cast to resemble exactly the genuine
coin, and is afterwards galvanized"
with pure silver. 1t is dated 1855"
is about 10 grains lighter than the
genuine, and is very brittle. By the
latter characteristic, it may easily be
detected, as it will readily break by a
blow from hammer. There are proba-
bly, but few now in circulation. and re-
ceivers of money will do well to be on
their guard against them.
