Postage on Printed matter in Cuba.

We are authorized to say that the Postmaster
General has received, through the Department
of State, official information of the increase of
postage on printed matter in the Island of
Cuba to just double the former rates. The
following extract of Royal Decree, of the 9th
November, 1853, published by order of the
Captain General in the Havana Official G azette,
of the 18th January, 1854, will explain itself.
The rates therein stated are, of course, in ad-
dition to the United States postage, which has
to be prepaid on all similar publications sent
to Cuba. The Decree provides that
"Foreign newspapers coming from any coun-
try whatsoever, shall pay one rial Oh cents)
per ounce, if loose, and eight dollars per ar
roba Us Spanish pounds) should they come
direct from the EDITORS Office, provided that
their agents in the Island give tho necessary
security to the effect that the packages contain
no other printed matter bat that designated on
the band they must be covered with, nor any
private cyphers or other manuscript but that
of the address. No charge to be made for in
land conveyance.

also pamphlets taking that title, and books
published in periodical numbers. shall pay

GENTLEMEN: Feeling confident that you are

Your report Of the proceedings of the Senate
on Monday last, says, Mr.. Bright presented a
petition from Messrs. Dewey, Brown, and
Sehutt, for a railway along Pennsylvania
avenue Also, another to the same effect,
signed by John c. Read aud ninety other
citizens.
1t should have read Mr.. Bright presented q
petition from George W. Yorhy, of Washington
City; II. n. Dewey, of New York City; E.
Schutt, of Ithaca, Now York; and John l..
Brown, Of New York City, asking the privilege
of laying railway for city travel. And tina,
petition was presented at the same time
favoring the proposition, signed by ". W.
Seaton, r. W. Latham, John c. Riyes, ]. H
ButhmaD, and fourteen hundred other citizens
living along the line Of the proposed railway
1t is truly gratif ying to find such citizens
favoring an enterprise that will be Of SO much
comfort and convenience to all classes Of Gu,
large and rapidly increasing population
say all classes, for the price that this com
pany propose to carry passengers is so small
that it comes within the reach of all-five OF
six cents, as it may suit the convenience Of
tho passeDger-from the heights of George
town to the Navy Yard gate-a distance o.
four and-a-half or five miles
These neat and beautiful conyeyances will
emphatically be the peoples carriages, deci
dedly preferable to the noisy, heavy ant
clumsy omnibuses now in use.
1t is also pleasing to find that the gentle
men making up this company, arc men Of
practice, enterprise, and experience. Mr.
VERIFY is known as one of our most active and
enterprising citizens, ever among the first in
matters calculated to benefit the interest and
welfare of our city. Mr.. Dewey is, 1 learn
the superintendent and part owner of the third
avenue road in New York; a man of prac
tice, experience, and abundant means. Mr.
Brown is large manufacturer and contractor
and has built several railways in New Yorl

MISREPRESENTATION.

We are not little amused at the sub
terfuge relied upon almost invariably by
the conductors of various journals, to
break the force of facts published in the
Star, which happen to expose, and thus
to defeat sinister purposes, the accom-
plishment of which they desire. Thus,
they seek to discredit our expositions Of
public affairs, by the allegation that We
are in the receipt Of patronage and favors
from the Government. We have simply
to say that this is wholly untrue. We
enjoy ENTHUSIASTICALLY nothing, from
the favor of any one in power. The
Government advertisements which appear
in our columns, are inserted in obedience
to the requirements of the law, ordering
that the Government shall advertise in
the two papers published in this city Of
the largest circulation-a legal provision
designed to benefit and protect the inter.
est of the Government itself, and no,
that of the publishers of the Star or any
other newspaper. We are, therefore, in
debted, not to the Administration fel
such public advertisements, but to dis
eliminating public who already demand
of us about three times a. many copies
of the Daily Erening Star, as are printed
of any other daily newspaper published
in this city. We have merely to add, in
conclusion, that the law compelling the
Government to advertise in the papers o.
largest issue was passed long before thu
Star existed

~ We see by the Court Records, that the
two counterfeiters, White of Buffalo, and Law
renee, of Epping, N. H., have been placed
under ten thousand dollar bonds, each, for
making and selling, limitations Of Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral. This is right If the law
should protect men from imposition at all, it
should certainly protect them from being i'm
posed upon by worthless counterfeit of such
medicine as Ayers Cherry Pectoral. We
can only complain that the punishment is not
half enough. The villain, who would for
paltry gain, deliberately trife with the health
Of his fellow man, by taking from their lips
the cup of hope, when they are sinking, and
substituting a falsehood-an utter delusion
should be punished at least as severely as he
who counterfeits the csin of his country
