M. ‘The Stock market was very heavy to-day, and quota- tions for State stocks fell of a fraction. The cause of this decline can be partly attributed to the tone of the message and to the complexion of the foreign news.— | Illinois 6's declined 1 per cent; Pennsylvania 5's, }; Mor- s Canul,}; Harlem, 1; Long Island, }; Reading Rail- road, 2; Indiane, Norwich and Worcester, Erie Railroad, and Farmers’ Loan closed at yesterday’s prices. The commercial advices from Europe, received by the steam ship Cambria, at Boston, from Liverpool, are of the most interesting, and to this country, of the most important character. So far as regards the harvests, tho worst anticipations have been fully realised. ‘The most alarming state of things existed in Ireland, and a corres- pondence hed taken place between the Prime Minister of England and the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in rela tion to the opening of the ports, and prohibitions upon the use of grain for distillation, &c. ‘The potato crop was rapidly decreasing from the effects of the rot, and fears were entertained that before another harvest, every bushel of potatoes in the United Kingdom would be consumed or destroyed by the rot. Several cargoes had | arrived at Liverpool, ina complete state of corruption, which were, when shipped, apparently perfectly sound. This is by no means confined to the potato crop of Great Britain, but extends over the whole of Europe. ,Bel- gium, Sweden, Russia, Poland, and other countries, usually blessed with a surplus supply of breadstuffy, are this year deficient in harvests, and prohibitions have been placed upon th» export of grain. As the seasonad- vances, the deficiency in breadstufls thronghout Europe will be more severely felt. The present supply of pota- toes cannot be calctlated upon—the rot will destroy, ax rapidly as the people will consumo, and from these two causes,the crop cannot possibly last until another harvest, It is, at present, impossible to tell what_will be the result of the distress arising from the scarcity of food in Eu- rope ; but it appears, at this moment, probable that the ports of Great Britain wiil be thrown open for the admis- sion of grain from this country at a nominal duty. The leading journals of the kingdom, which have heretofore opposed such a movement, are now loud in their de, mands for au immed. adoption of that measure. The Duke of Wellington, the most bitter advocate of the corn lawa, has suggested the policy of calling Parliament to- gether, and submitting the subject at once to that body Something must be done to relieve the suffering poor: and their distresses are increasing so rapidly, and have already reached such an alarming extent, that govern. ment cannot much longer defer action in the matter. Amidst the general suffering from the scarcity and high price of breadstufis, the depression in the money and cotton markets cominues very great. The increaso in the rate of interest on loans from the Bank of England | must have a very material influence upon commercirl aifsirs. The slight revival in the cotton market, grow- ing out of the anticipated dificulties upon the Uregon question, had been merely temporary ; but a revival of acsivity, and an improvement in prices, will, withou doubt, again grow out of the agitation of this subject.— The railway mania was rapidly subsiding, and the ad. vance in the rate of interest in England and on the Con- tinent, would the fate of that movement. opening of the ports of Great Britain to the impor- tution of foreign grain, free of duty, or even at a nomi nal duty, would prove injurious to the consuming classes in every other country but this. It would induce an exportation of grain trom the countries on the continent —reduce their home supplies, and advance prices. ‘The government of these countries would be compelled to prohibit the shipments of grain, to prevent a greater evil at home than the supplies sent to Great Britain would alleviate. The press of Ireland is very bitter in its denunciations of the Ministry, and is unanimous in predictions of dostitution, bordering on famine. The delay in providing relief, admits of no excuse. The ports will not be opened until the latest moment; but tho nature of the deficiency in the supply of food is such thut the alternative must be submitted to. The returus of the Bank of England, for the week ending the 8th of November, show an increase in the Assues, compared with the previous weekly report. The notes had increased 64,7501.,which had been produced by an increase of 8,373/, of the gold coin or gold bullion, and the abstraction of 73,1431. of silver bullion, On the debit side of the banking department the Rost had increased 142/, the public deposite had increased 853,6731., the private or other deposits had increased 34.5061., and the seven day and other bills had increased 26,918/,, making the total of the liabilities 33,395,839, On the credit side the Government securities remain- ed the same, The other securities had increased 904,- 6251, the notes had increased 217,9552, and the gold and silver coin had decroased 97,8441, which eqalized the account, The bullion in both departments of the Bank had creased 162,0041., being the difference between 12,5 0421, and 13,722,948! ‘The paper in actual circulation, including the seven day and other bills, was 22,997,955!., egainst 29,153,7451, being a decrease of 358,790/. nu ® do 30ds 71 10 Long Island "560 72% 3000 . 0 "do OR 734 13.00 Penn 3's 30 do sa or0 do fe 8 60 73 S000 0 0 br» 723 19600, do 607250 do bio 7 190 the Phe ix Bank = 894% do ay 22 Bank of Com full 9 = do 90 7254 5 do, scrip 97 225 Stonington RR a 890 Farmers?

It is gratitying to find that, whilst the annual transpor- tetion was greater for the year ending the 30th June, 1845, than for the preceding year, by 224,645 miles, the cost was Jess by $62 791. On the 80th June, 1845, there were 14,183 post offices. There were established during the preceding year 852 w offices, and 269 discontinued. : Oa this day, the namber is 14 003, There weré appointed, during the same period, 2,033 postmasters. 7 were appointed in consequence of deuths or resignations ; 17 m consequence of a change of the rite of the offices ; 763 removals; 14 where the commissions expired, and not reappointed ; $52 by the establishment of new offices. 616 of the number of coa- tractors fined, or deductions made trom their poy for omissions to perior a, or uregularities in the perforiu~ ance of their contracts which amounted to $10,521 50, after deducting the remissions of fines, The revenue of the department for the same period expenditure for the z same time amounted to 4,320,731 9 ‘The net revenue, alter deducting the commissions of postmasters, contingent and incidental expenses, amounted to $2.942,217 27. Full returns of postmasters for the quarter ending tha 30th ot September Jast,have not a8 yet been received and settled, so as toenable the department to make an accu- vate statement of the revenues of that quarter. A care- fl examination has been made of those received ; and, by comparison with them of former returns from the same officers,! am induced to believe that there will be a fulling off from the nett revenue of the last fiscal year of about forty five per cent Assuming this to be true, and that the savings on contracts let, and to be let, will equal the expense of new routes to be put in qperation, and the amproved service that may be rendgred neces- sary to meet the demands of the public, then there will be @ diminution of the means of the department to meet the expenses for the present year of $1,823,997. The difficulty heretofor@existing between the de- partment end the yorhee ae and Baltimore railrovd company, growing out of the refusal of the company to take the mail from Philadelphia immediately on its orri- val from New York in the ight, has been settled by the engagement of the company to perform that highly ne- cessary aud important 8 rvice onthe opening of the spring, alter they have completed the repairs of their road which will increase the despatch of the mail west of Baltimore, and south of Washington, twenty-four hours, It is deeply to be regretted that the New York and Philadelphia railroad company still. persist in their refu- sal toconvey mail agents jor the department over their road. This is @ service rendered by all other compan! where it is desired ; and upon no ot er route isit more needed than this. From this—the most important soute in the U. Sta’es, and for which they receive the moximum pay allowed by law —the mail agent is excluded, and the service thereby material y injured We eae 1 hos been shown that t © savings in New Yurk and New Eng and at the 3 last *pring exceed d one qua ter: famillon of dollars. Shoul: sim lar sav ngs ber al zed n the ot er sections, when placed um erthe ne» law, there willbe, nt e western section, af ert'e Ist of Juy next, areduction in the c st of the annual trans) rtat on of about 335,000; in th southern section, alter the Istot July, 1847, about $238,000 per annum ; and iv the micdle section, afte the let of July, 1843, $130,000 per annum. The wiole red ction thus made, alter the Isto July, 1848, in the transportation of tbe mails, will be $1,005000 yer annum, It may not be safe to infer, 1 om the re ucti n of p ices of trans- portation in New York and New England, that a similer one may be ade in the oth rsectio sof the Uni n, whe. subjecte: t+ the pro isions of t e new Jaw. In the former, the higher grades of service had been more generally employed, because of the greater facilities for the mail service, than in the latter. The * new jaw, only requiring that species of service which is necessary fur the sufe and speedy transportation uf the mails, would enlarge the field of competition, end reduce the prices wore in the one than the others. The prices for transporting the mails may be injurionsly affected by the state cf the trade and markets of the couutry. The extent of the cowntry, its increasicg population, will demand additienad and improved service, and, it ex tended to Texas and Oregon, will not allow any reduce tion of the expenditures iu this branch of the service ‘The compensation to postmasters, and the expenses of their offices, are the next principal source of exjendi- ture, aud amounted. for the year ending 30th cf June last, to the sum of $1,409,875 Is. The prastice of sending packages of letters through the mails to agents, for distribution, has not entirely superseded the transmission of letters, over post roads, outot the mails, by the expresses. The character of this offence is such es to render detection very uncer: tain, full proof almost imposs:ble, conviction rare. The penalties are seldom recovered alter conviction, and the départment rarely secures enough to meet the expens of prosecution. Ji the officers of the department were authorized in proper cases to have the persons engaged in these violatious of the law arrested, their packag trunks, or boxes, seized and oxamitied before a p:opt jnaicial officer, and, when detected in violating the law, retained for the examination of the courtand jury, it is believed that tue practice could be at once suppressed. ‘There seems no just reason why individuals engaged smuggling letters and robbing the department of its legitimate revenue, should not be punished, in the same way and to the same extent ax perrons guilty of smug- glug goods; nor why the same means of detectiun Should not be given the Post Oitico Department which are now given to the Treasury. Weight aus bulk of the m add much to the cost of transportation, whica consti near three fourths of the whole expenditures of the department; and if it is to be sustained on its own revenues, it is but just and [lie that elt matier passing through the maiis should e compelled to pay a fair bgp ste of the cost incur- red 1m its tran portation and delivery. A discrimination has usually. been made in behalf of newspapers and other printed matter, because they are supposed to ad- vance the policy of the government, by contributing to the general diffusion of intelligence among the people, npon which depend the maintenance and perpetuation of our free institutions. There was, under the old liw, too great a difference between the tax upon letters and printed matter. The tax upon the former was 0 sarily bigh, and became oppressive to the citizer tux upon the latter was not so h gh as materially to inter- fere with their general circulation. There are no rej lar returns made to the depart: different kinds of matter passing through the mails, upon which an opinion might be formed of the actual cost of the d.fferent kinds, and the proportion which each should pay. One of my predecessors, in 1838, had an account kept, for one week, of the weight of the mails, distinguishin, between the weight of letters, and newspapers, pamphlets, in the cities of New York, Philadelphia, Bal- timore, Washington, and Richmond, from which it ap- peared that the whole weight of the mails was 55,241 pounds ; of which, ‘The newspapers weighed.

This great inequality in the cost of transportation did not war- rant the difference in postages under the former law, and was most unjust to the friendly and business correspon- dence ofthe country. The reduction of the letter post ‘age by the late law was but an act of justice to that class sfour ollisens who hed Bean 80 long ‘and so oppressive ly taxed for the benefit ot oth ‘The same necessity did not exist postage on printed matter.
