Prussia.—Waifs and strays connected withthe late war continue to come under ournotice. The stamp ofwhich we annex arepresentation is thelast arrival. It ap-pears that every sol-dier had the right ofsending home newsto his friends and re-latives, letters were, how-ever, required to be enclosed, not as originallysupposed in the feld-post envelopes, the trueuse of which has been explained, but inenvelopes bearing a stamp similar to theabove, and they were then transmittedthrough the agency of the field-post office. Oldenburg.—From Oldenburg Ave haveinformation that a field-post envelope, equalin plainness to the Prussian, was issued forthis duchv during the late Thurn & Taxis, North.—The envelopes,\ silber groschen value, which Ave last pur-chased at one of the offices of this post, arereddish-yellow. Venetia.—NotAvithstanding their havingbeen already noticed, in our correspondencedepartment, in the month of August, it maybe advisable to re-mention here the appear-ance of the 2 soldi yelloAv, 3 soldi green, and15 soldi blue, type of 1861. They have beencatalogued, by anticipation, both by Englishand continental Avriters, but never did duty,simply because the previous batch in similarvalues Avere not exhausted when the imperialarms were substituted for the imperialhead. These resuscitations, consequently,must not be disregarded by the fastidiousas mere essays, being Aeritable postagestamps in the enjoyment of a sinecure. Republic of St. Domingo.—We learn,with some surprise, from a continental con-temporary, that this republic has been pos-sessed of stamps ever since1862. The discovery Avasannounced by M. Ron
