Postage Stamp Envelops.—We understand that the Postmaster General has accepted the proposal of Mr. George F. Nesbit, of New York, to furnish the Department with the postage stamp envelops authorised by the act of the last session of Congress. These convenient little wrappers will consist of three sizes—note, letter and official. The denominations will be three, six, and twenty-four cents; the latter intended for foreign correspondence. They will be self sealing, and bear a stamp similar in style to the English stamped envelope, and are expected to be manufactured exclusively for this important purpose. It is probable that the envelopes will not be put in circulation before the first of January next; but every exertion will be made to have them earlier.—Nat. Intelligencer.
