@ur Postal Arrangements with Burepe. Is the establishment of five lines of steam ves- gale between the United States and England, and the contemplated starting of otber companies, we see the inthwate and manifold relations sabsieting between the Old and the New World. Those rela- tions sro a peortemry consequence of the immense trade between America and Europe, and the ties of yelatiopehip that exist between many of our citi- seve and the denis-ps of the Old World Such being the case, we need not wonder at an agitation arising em doth sides of the Atlantic fora cheap interne tdopal postal srrangement, whereby friends can owe unicate oftener wth each othar than they oaa afford to de under the present dear sysiem. The eheapeving of postage in Great Britain had the ef- fect of quadrupiirg the mumber of letters parsiog | threngh the Port Office, and proporsiona:ely increas | img the revenue With that fact before our eyes, it is but a fair deduction to suppose that equally bene- ficial results would flow from a similar arrangement | being made with regard to ovean postage. It was | ‘wader this impression that the Secretary of the Lon- | den Cheap Iaternational Pi stage Association ad- | dressed a letter, on the 26th ult., to Horatio King, | Aq, of the Post Office Department, Washington, ehowing the inequalities and injustice of the present sgeem. On the 20th inst., that gentleman replied in a lengthy epirtie (which has just been officially pablishes) in which he satisfactorily shows that the British government are more opposed to reform than the United States. In order to enable our readers to properly appresiate the subject, we annex ‘the principal points of Mr. King’s letter :— Bome of the reasons why itis considered that Great Britain chouid long rince have been willing to adopt a more Isberal policy towards the United States in this matter of ‘transit protege on cidere muils are— 1.
