We have derived not only pleasure, Dot profit, from reading Mr. Plitt's excel lent report, made to the last session of Congress, on. the Post Office Department. In addition to the intelligence he commu nicates concerning European Post Offices, his suggestions about the reforms which might be introduced into our own, are highly judicious and practical. He pro poses two rates of postage—for all letters weighing but half an ounce, under 500 miles, five cents—the same over five hun dred miles, (en cents, adding fee addi tional cents for every half ounce under 500 miles, and ten evils when it exceeds that distance. He proposes that every thing exceeding a pound should be exclu ded from the mail, and postage to be paid in advance. In any point of view, it does seem of Immense importance that a reduction should take place in the price of postage. The present high rates restricts corres• pondeoce vastly, while the amount of lets ters carried by private individuals on all the great mail routes exceeds belief. In this way the Department limes it large amount of revenue, anti individuals are subject to great inconvenience, and often times losses. Mr. Plitt says that he is informed, by persons acquainted with the fact, that at least one dal/' of the letters between Boston and New York are car ried by private individuals. We happen to know, that between New York, Albany and Troy, two-thirds of the letters are carried in the same man ner. In the two latter cities there is an established place for depositing letters. Just before the boat leaves for New York they are tied in a package and handed over to some person who is known as a resident, who deposites them in — the New York Post Office. As business men be tween the two cities are daily passing over the river, a sale conveyance is always had, and a hundred letters are often taken by one individual. We have no doubt the same thing is practised to a large ex tent between this city and New York. If the postage was reduced, ind:viduals would not seek private conveyance. Even new, it is not those who write occasional letters, but it is those whose postage bills are enormous, and whose correspondence , is extensive, who evade the law, by sen ding their letters by private individuals. What singular and contradictory treat. ment Banks meet with in different places. In this city, the Bank of the United States is denounced for having ruined itself by loans to corporations, and assuming their debts; and the other Banks for having greatly crippled themselves by the same course, lessening the value of their stock from ten to twenty per cent, and render. ing the day of resumption distant and doubtful. Ia Baltimore, a loco-fop Anti-Bank city, they are urging the Banks to adopt the very course ours has pursued with such disastrous results. Notwithstand. ing the sad experience of this city, we ob-• serve but one Batik disposed to profit by it. The people of that city will, 1 . 40 re long, condemn their own course in this matter, and approve that of the Bank in question, for thus refusing to accede to a step so directly hostile to the true prin ciples of banking. How strange the infatuation, to sup pose that the true mode of resumption is for the Banks to waste their means in the voluntary purchase of unavailable, depre ciated assets. They will thus go on load• ink the Banks with depreciated and una vailable assets, until they are incapable of bearing more; and then these very wise acres, who have thus broken down the Banks, and rendered resumption impossi ble, will turn upon and curse them as rot ten Banks. In this city, the effort is to lighten the the Banks of these burdens which bear so heavily on them. In Baltimore, they would impose them per force. Here we consider such assets as a bar to resump tion. In Baltimore they repose, as a sure and safe means of resumption, that the Banks should expend their funds in the, purchase of depreciated Rail road itotes.— Unitid Slates Gaxette. Tux FIRST DUEL FOUGHT in New York, says the Tattler shortly after the Ameri can war. The circumstances were reu • liar, and elicited great remark and much interest at the time. Congress was in session in Philadelphia, when a Monsieur Longchamp made some remarks offensive to Girard, the French minister resident in Philadelphia- The French minister caused marines to be brought on shore from a French frigate at that city, and with their aid endeavored to secure Longchamp. He was prevented, and severely rebuked and censured. The minister, irritated and fevengeful, employ. ed a odevaut French officer to quarrel with and kill Longchamp. Aware of the snare laid for him Longchamp left Philadel. phia for New York. Here the officer fol lowed, and insulted and challenged him.

Before J udge Ulshaeffer. CAUTION TO STONEICEEPERS.—Henry Perks and wife vs. Hiram B. Gray—This was an action to recover damages for an assault and battery and false imprison ment of Mrs. Perks. It appears that the defendant keeps a millinery store at 164 Catharine street, and that about the Ist July the lady went there for the purpose of purchasing a hat. She fixed upon a shape that pleased her, and requested that it might be trimmed. The ribbon was cut ofi, and she waited until it was completed. She then stated that she had been sent there by Mr. IVoodford, a gentleman living close by; and that he would pay for it. There was some demur to this on the part of the de-, fendant, when the lady said she would not have it at all, and was quitting the store. The defendant then followed her, and insisted that she should leave some thing upon it, which she refused to do, when he seized her by the arm, and sub sequently by her scarf, and thus detained her at the door for several minutes, until a mob collected, whom he enlightened up. on the cause of her detention. For the defence, it was contended that the plaintiff could only recover damages,' as it was not shown that she had been in jured by the transaction. There was al so some evidence to show that the lady was intoxicated, and that she swore, 'she'd be d--d if she took the hat.' The Court charged that no doubt it would be very convenient to store keep ers to have the right of detaining persons under such circumstances, but it was not the law of the land. The plaintiff might go to a store, and select a hat and have it trimmed, and then turn upon the heel and go oti; whether or not the husband would be liable was not now a question before the court—he spoke merely of personal rights; of the power to arrest the person anti detain them for one instant. The law was extremely jealous of the rights of persona, and it could not be tolerated, that any one refusing to complete a contract, could be forcibly detained until he did so. —The case was simply one of damages, ESCAPE OF A M ORDERER- • YOUTII7, SeITIOS, who killed Professor Davis, at the U n i. versity of Virginia and who hail been lib erated on bail of $23,000, failed to appear when his trial came on, so that his recog• nizance are forfeited.

We think with the New York Commercial Advertiser, that if this bailing system is to be continued, we had better adopt the Turkish practice at once, and establish a pecuniary mulct, in cases of homicide, the fine payable to widows and children and other relatives of the: slain.—Boston Post.

Passing a few days since, in the steam boat Telegraph, between New Bedford and :Nantucket, the subject of Temper ance was under discussion, when one of the passengers remarked that if we wish ed tu see a thoroughgoing temperance man we might in the person of Capt Phinney ,the worthy commander of the boat. On the suggestion, another of the passengers ,enquired of Capt. P. whether he did not use ardent spirits, to which he replied, "1 never drank a teaspoonful of rum, brandy or gin, or any other ardent spirits, nor of wine, cider or beer; never chewed tobac co, smoked, of took a pinch of snuff; and I never drank either tea or coffee." 'But' says a passenger, 'what do you drink with your breakfast?' "Cold Water," was the answer. "And what with your dinner?" ,'Cold Water!" '-And what with your supper?" Cold Water!" "But" says he, "what do you do when you are sicke , "I never was nnwell in my life." was the ready and instructive reply of Capt Kin ney, and we could not but reflect how much of human suffering and wo, how much of the ills that flesh is heir to, might be avoided, if people would only a dopt the absemious habits which are adop ted to our condition, and like captain Phieney, conform more nearly than they usually do to the immutable laws of nor physical natures. —Maas Spy. 1 1 'You blundering scoundrel,' said the owner of a crockery store to one of his as lsistants, yesterday, •what did . 1 , ou knock over that China set for?

A PERILOUS ADVENTURE,--A ballon assensiun was made from St Louis on the 9th inst by Mr S Hobart, accompanied by a young lady. After the ballon had attain ed the height of about two miles, Mr H. wished to descend, but found the valve cord was bound fast in the neck of the bat loon, which hung in folds, pressing on the small hoop overhead. In this difficulty, the bold adventurer climbed up the cords to the hoop, and resting upon it, disentan gled the valve cord, which was necessary to give hint command of the , balloon. He{ then descended, and made a safe landing about eight miles Irom the city. READ 4 WHAT IT HAS DONE.

One thing may be relied upon—that if the pills are per severed with according to the printed direc tion which accompanies each box, the cure will be effected much sooner than the pa tient could have expected. The many lin gering chronic distaset we daily see, are ow :ng either to mercury er blyeditese, or to n t having been properly purged in Fey, es, Inflamations, Colds, Measles Small Pox, or lying-in. It is utterly impossible for us to at tain or keep health without sound purging. We may fasten up the disnr,ler by harks and tonics, but if it be iu the hotly, it must come out before health cap be enjoyed, acid sooner or later it will break out of itself worse than ever, if this method of purifying the blood is delayed too long. No danger can arise from purging with Brandreth's Vegetable Pills It h es been proved, beyond doubt, that these celebrated pills and the human body are naturally adapted one foa the tether.
