Perforated Postage Stamps. Great
Conrenience. James Campbell, the
Postmaster General, has recently introduced
an improvement in the postage stamps, which
according to the Philadelphia Ledger, adds
greatly to their public convenience. He has
had them prepared on sheets with perfora-
tons around the borders of each stamp, SO
that they can be separated from each other,
without using knife or pair of scissors. =
Besides the saving of time in this improve
ment, there is greater security that the
stamp will adhere to the letter, there being
none of the risk of the edge turning up as
when it is continuous. This plan of perior-
ating letter stamps is praeticed in Europa
and Mr., Campbell had the contractor to pro-
cure a machine from that country for use
here The contract is made with Toppan,
Carpenter & Co, Of Philadelphia, and, in
addition to a supply for that city, the stamps
have already been sent to New York, Bos-
ton. Baltimore. Cincinnati, St. Louis, New
Orleans, Chicago and Albany. The amount
of letter writing in the United States may
be inferred from the number of postage
stamps used The number sold by the gov
ernmeut last year reached nearly one hun
dred and fifty millions of stamps -Balti-

DETERIORATION One of the london pa
pers says that the chief characteristic of the
year just closed has been the amount OF
moral delinquency, in certain classes of the
British public in fraud, peeulation and rob-
berry, Persons of high standing for probity
upon whose character suspicion had never
breathed, are involved in these crimes Ii
sums up the causes of this deterioration in
"a haste 10 be rich = accompanied BY ex-
pensive habits and the love of display. The
same causes have operated with similar mis-
chief in our own country. All, with few
exceptions, are engaged in the race for
riches, and it is both strange and alarming
to see with what perverson of the moral
sense, and utter disregard to neighbors'
rights and Gods authority. Both in our
higher and lower classes it is much needed
that the lessons of simplest justice should be-
more extensively cultivated Those that
have acquired wealth set the example Of ox-
trayagant expenditure, and these who have
not the wealth at hand, from an oyerpower-
ing desire TO initiate their ostentation, hest
tate not to resort to the most nefarions iaeans
to acquire it, What remedy is there for all
this? We know of none but the fear of
God and the power of the gospel of Christ.

these had full Sway reehpterit4a

LEDRU RoLLIN.--This noble French
Patriot and scholar has been an occu-
pant of English soil since the Revolution
by which the present Emperor came to
power. 1t is now probable that in obe-
dience to the d demands of the French
Government, poor Rollin will be ordered
to leave the "frce soil of merry England:
The London Neacs well observes.
1--WE cannot imagine that an English
cabinet can be 80 far lost to a sense of
wha. is due to English honor as basely
to sacrafice an exile, who has done no.
thing to forfeit his right of asylum, to
the conscience-inspired fears ola despo-
tic government. Even though the title
of the Emperor Of the French to the
crown We're as clear and legitimate as
that Of our queen to hers--even though,
like her, he were enthroned in the breast
of his subject il would be cowardly
and degrading to seek to conciliate him
by the sacrafce of a man who has as
good a right to feel himself safe as any
man who breathes the air within its
