The penny postage and one rate system answers well enough for England, a thickly populated ritory of very small extent when compared with ours. It pays its own way there, and would not have been adopted had not the Goy- ernment previously become sure that it would goon prove self-supporting. There are various reforms which, if carried out, would go far indeed towards rendering even our rates of postage self-supporting. We for demanding prepayment in advance on all letters sent in the mails; for a settlement, dollar for dollar, between the Post Office De- partment and all other Departments of the Gov- ernment, for postal services rendered by the former to the latter, and also for rating all newspapers with postage by weight. But all these reforms are not to be hoped for. Yet we trust that the principle of the second-men- tioned may be carried out by making a direct appropriation specifying that it is to cover the cost of the postage on the free matter carried in the mails, which is, of course, well known to @ penny. Burwine oy THe Psurrenriary at Rice- uonp.—On Thursday night all the workshops connected with the Richmond (Va.) peniten- tiary were entirely destroyed by fire, which is supposed to have originated in the machine shop and to have been the work of an incen- diary, as the shop contained a large quantity of wool. The loss is estimated at $50,000. During the conflagration the prisoners, under a strong guard, were released from the main building, which at one time was almost en- shrouded by the flames. The penitentiary was destroyed once before—on the 9th of August, 1823. [=> The Collins steamers are receiving their new metallic “Nest” Life boats. Each ship is to have five, in addition to the old boats, of an average capacity of 80 persons. The first of the “nest” has already been put on the Baltic. In reply to reports to the contrary, the Journal of Commerce is authorized to say that: _ “Captain Luce has no intention of going into any business on shore, and is not aware that the Directors of the Collins line of steamers have formed any determination to “exclude from their employ the surviving officers of the Arctic.” E@" A destructive fire occurred in Baltimore on Saturday evening last, commencing in the store of J. McGowan & Sons, on Baltimore street, one door south of Paca street. Knabe & Gaeble, Clarke & Bro., Ruman & Son, Mills & Murray, Mills & Bro., Rathrock and Pea- cock, Mr. Casper, cedar cooper, Mr. Otler, tin ware manufacturer, and Kahler & Musersmith, were among the sufferers. The loss is estima- ted at $200,000. The Eutaw House was in great danger, and was only saved by the most active and difi- cult exertions. Most Important Information from Europe.
