readily reached from all parts of Old Town
by the York Road. To those whose dwellings
are more central, North Charles, Cathedral or
Howard streets, are routes which converge, with
scarcely any DETECTION whatever, upon the same
point; whilst numerous streets offer equal facili-
ties to the Western and Northwestern sections of
the city. The topography of the grounds is
another point that is well worth considering, in
view of the uses to which it is proposed to put
them, and especially as having a bearing upon
the costs and charges which the city would have
to incur in their ornamentation. In the latter
respect the economy of selecting site, which is
already partially covered with evergreens-such
as cedars and Balsam frs-and also with decdu-
Gus trees-s not less evident than the fact that
in single year, by merely directing, in the first
instance, the labor of the workmen to a iudicious
distribution of the walks and drives the main
features of a pleasure ground could be hand
somely developed, and large proportion of the
advantages of an improvement of this kind
could be utilized at once. There would be
no waiting for trees to grow, for the principal
groups already established and need but the
application of the skill of the landscape gardener
then, with but little effort, and at comparatively
small cost, we could possess public park that
within a few brief months, might be made to min

Water-whch is to landscape what the eye is
to the human face, frightening and vivifying it
nothing else can-the stream that traverses the
valley of Jones Falls will furnish in abundance
for all the purposes of Lake. OF springs for
fountains there are several the slopes of the
upands, and finally, the disposition of the
grounds is of that character which best fits them
for place of popular resort. What need we say
more, than to ask the Commissioners TO weigh
well the suggestions which we here tender to them
and to express the hope that they will reach the
same conclusions to which we have come. But if
after due examination of the suburban lands
they should chance upon site that combines
greater advantages than the one to which we have
referred, we shall cheerfulIy acknowledge that
they were more fortunate in their investigations
than we ourselves have been, notwithstanding the
interest we have long taken in the subject and the
patient study we have given to it.
Since writing the above we have received an ad-
vertsement from the Commissioners-which will
be found i'll another COMMUNICATING proposals

the Second Branch of the Common Conncn -
have spoken out more explicitly; but taking into
consideration the known proclivities of the men,
bers of the First Branch, and the private schemes
and projects that were afioat, we can readily un-
derstand why the municipal decree was somewhat
ambguously worded. The only marvel is,
that it was ever permitted to pass at all. The
irmness and discretion which were exercised by
those who advocated its passage, in its pre-
sent FORM is worthy of all praise, and nothing
now remains but for the Commissioners to con-
form to the spirit of their Instructions There
cannot be doubt in the mind of any one who will
fairly examine a plat of Baltimore, or who will
take thu trouble to examine the topography of the
suburbs, as to where is to be found the most
appropriate site for such Park "a the Ctv
requires, and s1ch as is alone adapted to the
wants of our people. We have already no;ntod
out, in previous article, the body of land which
fulfls, to greater extent than any other oil ,bo
conditions demanded in making choice of a great
public promenade, which shall be valuable both for
sanitary and ornamental purposes. Our readers
must be perfectly aware that we allude TO that

the valley of the Falls from Belvidere bridge to
the head of Charles street, little below where the
Northern Central Railway crosses the latter, fol-
lows the line of Charles street avenue Northwardly

The POSTAL PREPAYMENT REGULATION, AGAIN -
Washington correspondent says that the follow
ing notice has been issued by the Post-o1ice De-
partment:
"Prepay,nent Of Postage Jy ,Stamps-The recent
order of the Postmaster General requiring the pre-
payment of postage to be made in all cases, by
United States postagestamps, is said to have been
misunderstood by some postmasters, compelling
the prepayment of postage upon all letters and
other mail matter addressed to foreign countries"
The purpose OF the new regulation is simply to
require prepayment by postage stamps, instead of
IN money, in all cases when postage is prepaid in
the United States, leaving it, heretofore entire
y optional with the senders to pay the postage in
advance or leave 1T unpaid when mailing letters
for Canada or other British North American Prov
lnces, Great Britain, Prussia, France, Belgium
and the German States, by the Bremen or Hamburg
mails, as our postal arrangements with each of
those countries have adopted the principle of op-
tional prepayment. The new regulation referred
to is in the following words:
"from and after the LIST of June, 1860 the post
age upon all transient printed matter foreiun and
domestic, and upon all letters, foreign and domestic
must be fully prepaid by United States postage
stamps, except in cases where prepayment on let
tiers, &c, to foreign countries is OPTIONAL and the
senders do not wish 10 prepay"
In order to facilitate the prepayment of postage
on letters addressed to foreign countries, and to
avoid the necessity of afixing thereto large num-
Der of stamps, which would in some instances in
crease the weight as to subject the letters to ad
ditiona postage, the Department has ordered the
issuing of new stamps of the denominations of a.
80 and 80 cents respectively. The 24-cent stamps
will be ready for distribution next week; the 80
cent stamps soon thereafter and the 90cent stamps
as soon they can be procured.
