THE ACCELERATED CONTINENTAL MAIL SKR-
Wm-- The accelerated mail services, at fixed bows,
between London, Paris, &mewls, fix., commenced yester-
day. The train started from 1.. n-bride at 7 a.m.,
reached Dover at 9.2, and the mail packet Prince Frederick
William was steaming out of harbour with mails, pas-
sad
saewT:be made ara and Tridatt9.ls, Againstala, aend thersh b
train left
Calais for Paris and Brussels at the appointed time.
During the day the WIWI, increased so much that on
the arrival of the train at Calais from Paris, at
1.10 p.m., nearly low-water time, there was too much
sea on the bar for the passengers to go out in the
roads. The new steam tender Poste, however, took out
Captain Devot and the mails, and with some difficulty
put them on board the John Penn, when that vessel came
across with them to Dover in the strong wind and sea in 91
minutes, and they came up to London in two hours by the
DOW mail train. The weather was so rough that the passen-
gers that left Dover at eleven a.m. by the South-kastem
packet could not land at Calais, and had to remain in the
roads until about five p.m. Under the most unfavourable
circumstances of wind and weather the object of the change of
hours and acceleration of despatch has been accomplished. The
mails that left London yesterday morning were in Paris last
evening in time for being forwarded by the night mail trains
to the provinces; and by the use of by
small steamer at
Calais the mails that left Paris on Monday night at 7.30
p.m. arrived in London in time to be forwarded to the pro-
vices yesterday by morning mail trains, and the mails that
arrived in Paris from the district, beyond and left that city
yesterday morning at seven o'clock arrived in London last
evening in time to be sent into the country by the night
mail trains.

The Pera arrived at Southampton yesterday with
the heavy portieu of the Calcutta add China wails.
