will be sent to them at once after ratifica
ton, Russia having no reason TO conceal
anything. This seems as intended to re-
assure England that there is no secret

The Committee on Postofices and Post
Roads OF the House have nearly com.
pleted the bill for the classification Of
mail matters and the rates Of postage
thereon. Mail matter is divided into
four classes: First, written matter;
second, printed newspaper and periodi.
cal matter OF two kinds, privileged
and ordinary; third, other printed mat.
ter; fourth, merchandise. The rate now
existing will probably not be changed,
but the classification Is simplyfed' The
bill will prohibit the carrying Of second
class mail matter outside OF the mails
and authorize the Postmaster General TO
use return postal cards aud combined
letter sheets and envelopes. Sample
copies Of newspapers, &C., are TO be al.
mitted 10 the mails at same rate as reg.
ular issue OF registered matter. The COM
mittee is divided whether any distinc.
tion should be made on the rates on
second class matter, and the probability
Is that the law will remain at It's making
rates, 2 and 3 cents per pound.

OK Thursday last we had the pleasure of visit
ing Mr.. c. Y. Housman, Civil Engineer, at his
office, to inspect Il design of wire tramways he
has artistically drawn up with the view Of using
them on these Islands for bringing cane to the
mill and for transporting the sugar TO the beach.
The plan we saw was one of the latter. At the
head of the plan was a side view Of the tramway
with a schooner being loaded below we're the pro
file of the road. and details of the tressels, and tray
cling blocks, and the working of which Mr.. Hous-
man explained thus The load being attached
to the hook below the wire, the compressor on
the drum is relieved and the load gradually slides
down the inclined plane, whilst the empty car ia
brought up on the opposite wire. At the place
where the load is TO be deposited a spar is lashed
across the two wires, and on the projecting rod
of the travelling block striking this the load is
Immediately dumped and frees itself by the clip
hooks opening. and it can be worked with a sim
pie hook requiring but one man to attend to the
unlocking OF the sings, after its arrival on the
ground. The wire is supported every $50 feet
on three posts, which have a small track laid On
the two outer ones. 80 that as the load reaches one
Of these it leaves the rope and travels over the
head OF the outer posts. We would strongly re-
commend this novel idea to sugar planters and
others who are now paying high for carriage on
their plantations. Mr.. Honsman. who is a
thorough Railway Engineer, will no doubt add
much by his knowledge 10 the plantation inter-
ests of these Islands.
