Asimign Pow Dituvenr.--On Monday WY com-
menced • fourth delivery of letters, namely, at seven at
night. A London mail is received in time for that
delivery, and letters posted for Weymouth are also
cleared. Thus letters posted in London in the forenoon
are delivered the name night, in time to send off an
answer for delivery in London next morning. The con-
venleoce of the arrangement will be readily AGM
CiirTsa Sroppir;lL 01, • Hosts&—On Tuesday evening a
hone, belonging to Mr. Sheppard, cal, proprietor, dashed
off from a house in Pulteney-buildinga, outside which it
had been left while the driver rang the bell, went through
Belle Vile into FAst-stmet, and into the shop window of
Mr. Saunders, thence down East-street to the quay, and
up through Malden causing much alarm. Just oppooite
Mr. Lundie's stores the horse was taught by Mr. John
Thompson. carter for Mr. Lundie, who prevented it doing
further damage.
UNPLEASANT AEVAIIL—There are rumours of a rather
serious "complication" with respect to some gentlemen of
this boromth, which must either result in a very ample
apology being tendered by the offender, or in serious con-
sequences. It Is hardly safe to du more than generalise,
but we hear that a leading tradesman of the town mails
an offensive statement with regard to two gentlemen who
are of high public standing, attributing it to a report. The
gentlemen affected are determined to hunt the report, if
It is one, to its origin, and it seems next to impossible to
do so, without the whole matter becoming, as it nearly is
already, public talk.
THE MATHS'S EXPLANATION.—The Mayor, having heard
that Col. Akers WWI aunuf,eedr by His Worship's expression
in the Council Chamber, to assure him that the last
thing he intended charging him with was the intentional
stating of that which was untrue. The Mayor exceedingly
regrets that the word untrue escaped him, as he had no
intention of using so forcible an expression. His intention
was to convey that Colonel Akers had stated that which,
had he mule proper enquiries, he would have found was
not the fact. The Mayor is perfectly satisfied Colonel
Akers would not, and could not, make any statement
which he did not at the time fully believe, and trusts this
explanation will lie deemed satisfactory„
THE ALLIGIISNIAN ISCLL.RINGILEA.—The bad weather on
Thursday seemed to have but little effect on the company
who were attracted to hear the bell-ringers. Mr.
Wheeler's entertainments always draw good audiences, I
=because they are so well advertised, and pertly
we are always sure of something good. The I
Alleghanians gratified these who visited them, both by
their singing and bell-playing, each sings beautifully, and I
their voices sound especially well together. " The Raven' ,
was exceedingly well sung, and the scene of "The Burn-
ing Ship" was most striking. The bell-ringing was even
better than when they performed in Weymouth before,
continued practice having brought them as near perfec-
tion as can he conceived. Among the great variety of
Mr. Wheeler's entertainments, we can heartily recommend
the Alleghenian&
