ELEvENpENcE SAvED.-A gentleman lately re-
turned from England states that the effects OF the
Penny Postage System NOW in successful opera
ton throughout Great Britain upon the intellec-
tual, moral and social habits of the lower classes,
are truly astonishing, as well as cheering; that
hundreds Of thousands are learning to write, for
the sake Of corresponding with their friends. The
effect of reducing postage from shilling to
penny, in increasing the number Of letters, is well
told in the anecdote of an Irishman, writing to
his son in London, Remember, my dear boy,
not to forget to write oten for every letter sares
me eleuenpence This, belt remembered, how
ever, is not mere anecdote: for the number of
letters has actually Increased by many millions !;
and as the result, for several years past the Brit
ish Mail, carrying letters at the uniform rate Of a
PENNY, and newspapers for nothing, has cleared,
over all expense, about THREE MILLIONS Of dollars
annually
