The reduction on the rates ‘s not so much as we were in favor of ; but we are satistied, for the present, with the reform that has-been made. There is no doubt but that the House bill will be sanctioned by the Senate. The bill thet the postage hereafter shall be as follows :— | On letters, irrespective of distance, weighing half @m ounce, three cents; and every additional half ounce, or fraction of half ounce, to be charged threecents additional. Oa printed matter of no greater weight than two ounces, one cént is to be cherged; bouud books, weighing no more than thirty ‘ounces, to be deemed mailable matter. Newspapers, delivered within the Sta e, are to be charged with half of the foregoing rates No post- age is to be charged on newspapers delivered with- ia the county in which they are published, nor within thirty miles of the place of pubiication ; and a deduction of fifty per cent on the postage of magazines is to be made when it is pre-paid. In order to furnish a convenient coin for post-office purpeses, three cent pieces, to be composed of | three-fourths silver and one-fourth copper, are to be made at the mint, to counterfeit which will be punished by fine and imprisonment. There is also a change made in the publication of uncalled for letters. The new law directs that letters that may be uncalled for two weeks shall be published but cuee, instead of three times as at present. There is another feature of this law which will commend it to general favor, viz., the establishing of penny post-offices in the large cities, on the English plan. This will be a great accommoda tion. ‘The present bill appropriates the sum of a million and a half of dollars to provide fer any de- ficiency that may arise in consequence of the re- duction of postage. On the whole, the bill is very good, aud we have no doubt it will be acceptable to the public generally. [t was carried by a vote of 180 to 75. The Senate were engeged with a variety of busi mess yesierdey, which the crowded state of our columns prevents us from referring to. ‘The News by the Frankiin and the Asia—The Treaty with Switzeriand—Question for the United States Government.

The Colonization of Literia—The Slave Trade between Brazil and Africa. | Our columns furnish many important facts with | respect to the republic of Liberia, and to the opera- tions of the slave traders between Brazil and Atrica. The time has arrived when the entire suppression of the slave trade shoud be accomplished, and when some large end comprehensive plan should be carried out for transporting our idle African population to the country from which they origin- ally sprung. Mr. Cley, on Wednesda last, ad- dressed the Senate of the United States on these subjects, end it is now desirable that some more decided action should characterize our govern- meat, than that which has so long been anucipated in vain. Some months ago we had good reason for com- plaining against certam British aggressions in Brazil ; and while we, at that time, censured the burning, by the steamer Sharpshooter, of several Brazilian vessels, we expressed our sense of the difficulties surrounding the action of all engaged in the suppression of the slave trade, and declared our fears that the zeal of he agents of the British government might be carried beyond prudent limits. It will be remembered that the British boarded a Brazilian government vessel, the San Sebastiano, also, to which act wetook exception in very de- cided terms of reprobation. All thie, however, does not the less dissuade us from avowing that the continuation of the slave trade between Brazil and Africa requires prompt action, in order that the traffic may be terminated. The facts contained in the communications of our Minister Plenipoten- tiary, Mr. Tod, to the government, are significant and American citizens are often engaged in the im putting an end to such practices. Mr. Tod, and many other agents ef the government, have recommended the entre abolition of any trade be- tween Brezil and Africa in American vessels, in or- der to exterminate the evil, and there seems to be strong reasons for the adoption of such a law, though almost any other government measure would be less arbitrary in its principle. Unquestionably, the pretence of a trade between Africa and Brazil ws made the cloak for the blacker trade in human flesh; but the interdiction of an honest carryiag trade, between the two countnes, would be tyran, nical in its character, and ctrtainly the very last regulation to which any liberal government should resort. Still, at present, such a law might prove very effectual, and not injurious to any honest citizen, because, so far as we can ascertain, there is no inducement for vessels te run between Africa and Brazil, except the unholy one which all good men deplore, and would cheerfully cooperate in termin« ag. The facts to be found in our columns are such as will rrrest public attention. The letter of Mr. Gorham Parks, formerly Consul at Rio de Janeiro, is based upon etat.stics now before the Senate of the United States; and we are satisfied that they present groun:s for the interference of the goverament We have a@ strong repugnance to the importation of any slave upon this continent, not u,on feelings of humanity aloue, but in view of the great political, social, and moral evils which must spring from such business. While philanthropy and the best feelings towards the African race are aroused to make bold attempts to transport our free colored population to Libe that rapidly growing repub- lic—it is in vain that we hope fer any real benetit from our iabore, if the unpo tation of slaves con- tinues. The whole country, therefore, is inter- ested to stay the progress of tbe slave trade ia the first place, and, secondly, to throw the whole weight of ite persuasion towards our colored popu lanon, to induce them to enoy the liberal in- stitutons and social advantages prepered for them in Liberia.

They abolished the distinc- tons in forms of action—the fictions in pleading, upon which particular forms of remedy depenied, of course fell with them--and they provided more hberal rules of conetruction of pleadings, to avoid the necessity of the numerous repetitions which produced a mass of verbiage through which no one* but an experienced pleader could carry the prin- cipal thought. The intention was to assimilate the forme of pleading in suits which were dependent upon equitable principles, to those originally used in asserting legal rights. The legal profession seem to have wholly mis- apprehended the nature and object of this change. Instead of continuing the use of legal forms in cases depending upon the application of legal prin- ciples, they have framed their complaints in the manner of pleading in equity, where a discovery was eought. The consequence has been that the court, counsel, and jury have been involved, in numerous cases, in a mase of issues upoa the evidence, so numerous, so immaterial and fri- volous, that they have been compelled to throw aside the pleadings, and try the causes upon the oral allegations of the counsel. We are gratitied to perceive that this error is about to be corrected, and that the courts intend to impose costs on those who remain longer ignorant of those principles. Another error, perhaps not less general, but not hitherto so burdensome and vexatious, is made in Tespect to the effect of the Code in abelishing the disunction between legal and equitable remedies.

There bills are remarkably well executed, and calculated to deceive almost any storekeeper. On the night in question, it seems Barah Wood, one of the prisoners, entered the store No. 81 Catharine street, and made a purchase, and in payment, gave one of the $10 counterfeit bills, Mr. Albert Journey, after obanging the bill, thought that the woman looked rather guilty, and he suspected the bill was bed; but pot certain, he allowed her to leave the store. However, he did not feel satistied, and fellowed out after her, and in the street he caw her meet four other women, and they all conversed together, and ap te be acting in concert; Mr. Journey thereupon felt truth of his suspicion. still more anxious to ascertain the Accordingly, he followed after and weber them from |. store to store, up Ci ow the Bowery into Grand street. Mere they teok a for down town, and Mr. Journey got into the same conveyance, and preceeded with them. They stopped at Dey street, and all got out, and as they were going down the street, Mr. Journey called the aid of the Third ward police, who toek the five women into custody, aud con- ‘veyed them to the Fg statiob house, om the charge net ie by Mr. Journey, of passing counterteit money. tain Hopkins inquired their names. which they gave as follows : Barah Wood al: her person $33, good ont ” elly, on her person, $98 and two gold rings. Wilson, ber Green, on A Jal eon, $62. Havanna Mowers, on her person, $74. M MoUready. Emiline Wiener. Charles Wirner, on bis person, $191. Mansfield Wood, on bis person, All the above money found on the persons of the prisoners was good, evidently taken in exchange for the counterfeits, as mot @ dollar of bed momey was then fo j and resumption is th if they bad any, they must have thrown it at the time of arrest. The follewing is of the stores where the wom passed thi a rious money :—No. 81 Cathar! street; 89 Divi- sion street; Hunter & Co., 684 Grand street; dr store corner ot John street No, 26 Broadway, drug store 66 Market street, dry goods store 616 Grand street, and No. 100 Chatham street. In each of stores the women passed a counterfeit $10 bill; the parties bave also identified them as the guilty personr. Each of the women carried a carpet satchel, in which were placed the small articles pur- chased, consisting of gloves. cologne bottles, obildren’s shoer, aehild's hat, ludia rubber shoes, together with other trifling articles purchased for the express pur- ose of obtaining the change of a $10 counterfeit bill. Phe moneys on their perscms was found in their peckets, rolled up in separate packages, just as it was received from the store keepers, in change. Very near $500 in good money was taken from the prisoners, and a6 only fifteen of the $10 bills have as ye: been brought to the station house, it is presumed that mauy more have yet to be brought against them; and now that the publication takes place allthose who have been impored upon by this gang of rsgues will be able to identify the parties on caliing on Captain Hopkins, at the station house No 38 Barclay etreet, amd thus pro. mote the ends ef public justice, This association of counterfeiters, beyond ® doubt, came from iad phia for the express purpose of disposing of a» large quantity of spurious money; but in this instance it ears they have brought their pigs to awrong market. he women state that they have small families de- pending upon them for supportin Philadelphia.

MONEY MARKET, PFaivay, Januery 17—6P. M, ‘The stock market continues active, and what is more extraordinary, most of the transactions for several days past have been for cash. Prices: were not so firmly maintained today, at the first board. Delaware and Hudson declined 16 per cent; Hudson River Railroad %; Ohio Loam and(Trust ; Portsmouth Dry Dock %; Stoning- tom 3; Norwich and Worcester }s; Farmers’ Loan %5 Morris Canal %; Canton Company %; Erie Railroa@. 3s; Harlem %{; Beading Reilroad}. United Stateo 6's advanced }{ per cent; Reading Mert. Bonds %2 At the second board, Farmers’ Loan fell off }< per cents Morris Canal \; Portsmouth Dry Dock 3<. Cantom, Company advanced 1% per cent; Reading Railroa® 3; Long Island %; Norwich and Worcester %. Ther decline in Morris Canal is attributed to the expose re cently made of the financial affairs of the company, It appeare that the directors have thrown away upom the preferred stock all the advantages and benefits the: old stockholders expected to derive from the enlarge~ ment snd improvement of the canal. It is iz contemplation te consolidate the eld stock, under the authority of the act passed February, 1860, the. first section of which says, “that the said company are Bereby suthorized and empowered to reduce the number of shares of their capital stock to ten thou~ nd two hundred and fifty shares, which sharee shall have the same nominal value as heretofore.’” This consolidated stock was offered at the board, to~ day, st 90 per cent, seller four moaths, and no takers. ~ At the markct price of the old stock, the consolidated: would cost 92 per cont—within 8 per cent of par— which is # pretty good price, it must be admitted, for &@ non-dividend peying stock, a stock, too, standing behind 11,760 shares of preferred stock, which must receive ten per cont dividend before the old can re- ceive one cent. Erie Railroad was not in much de- mand to-day. Holders do not feel so confident as they have in relation to the advance anticipated. [¢ has been so frequently stated thet prices would rum up to par, that many who would have sold long ago. still hold on. Nothing can be done in fancy stocks without rhorte, andthe bears have been too shy of: Erie for a long time, to be caught in a very tight place. The movements in the Legislature of Pennsylvania, im relation to the Reading Railroad Company, have ha@® 8 favorable influence upon the market value of the. Mortgsge Bonés of 1870, without depressing the mar- ket value of the stock. By tbe arrival of the steamship Aeia, from Liver~ pool, we have two days later intelligence from Londem: and tbe continent of Europe. The commercial ac- counts are favorable and satisfactory. Cotton was steadily advancing, and the markets centinue active. Breadstuffs remein without change in quotations. The financial advices are not so encouraging. The- increased rate of interest by the Bank of Englan@® had cheoked the exportation of gold. and the move- ment has not been made a moment too soon, as the bank was rapidly losing its bullion. On the first of January, 1850, the bullion in the bank amounted to £17,016 168; on the twenty-third of March, £17,270,0485 and on the third of January, 1861, £14,968,681—show- ing a decrease, since March, 1850, of £2,316,262. The bank rate of interest, at the latest date, was three pen cent. It had previously been two and a half from November, 1849. The shipments of gold from Londom to France, have lately been larger, in consequence of the contemplated change in the metallic currency of France, and the probability existing of gold being @is- carded. English houses having payments to make im France, aroanxious to make them in gold while it io e legal currency, which acoounts for the large shipe ments within a few weeks, Money was improving te value in the London market. There had been a fair demand for American securitivs, without variation im quotations. The receipte at the office of the Assistant Treasuree of this port, to-day, amounted to $92,717 87; payment $20 027— balance, $2,941,953 19. The Danville and Pottsville Railroad has been sol@ by the Sheriff of Northumberland, in Sunbury, for the sum of $130,060’ It is thought that it was purchase@ for the Trevorton and Shamokin Coal Company, whiol owns the larger portion of the coal land in the county The road will now be put in order, the bridges rebuilt and an fron track put down. There have been sent to California from Boston, during the last two years, according to the annusl statement of exports, 27,762,206 feet of lumber, 15,601,705 shingles 5.918.000 bricks, 570 house and store frames, an@ ~ 644.867 feet of timber, besides doors, window frames ‘ashes, &o,, almost without mumber, The export of building materials for the year 1860 shows a considers able falling off, compared with the previous year, Richmond Examiner states that the banke in Richmond have lost, within the last three monthe $62 664 04 of their silver It has been ascertained that $54.080 of this amount has been shipped direct to New York for export to Europe. and it is supposed the bee ance bas indirectly reached the same deatination.
