of your letter containing the copy of a resolution passed
ex the 22d inst. by the vestry of St. Pancras.

so plainly their attachment to my dear brother. I can-
not express how deeply I am touched by it, and how
soothing and gratifying it is to my feelings to be assured

of his position as their representative.

acknowledged by them, and I shall never forget the man-

TEMPORARY ALTERATIOY LV AMERICAN
MAIL PACKET SERVICE-

GENERAL POIST-OFFICE, Nov., 1854.—Owing to the
employment by her Majesty's Government of several of
the British North American contract mail packets for
the conveyance of troops, it has been found necessary to
suspend, for the present, a portion of the mail service
heretofore performed by that line of packets ; and, until
further notice, the following will be the arrangements
for the conveyance of the American mails :

The mail Which, in due course, should be despatched
by British packet on Saturday next, the 2d December,
will not be sent ; and the first British packet to leave
for America will be that of Saturday, the 9th December,
on which day a packet will leave Liverpool for Boston,
calling at Halifax, Nova Scotia ; and thenceforward the
British mail packets will be despatched every alternate
Saturday, instead of every Saturday, as hitherto, and
will on each occasion proceed to Halifax and Boston.
A. United States mail packet will leave Liverpool for
New York on Wednesday, the 29th inst. ; but, after
that date, in order to keep up a postal communication
at regular intervals, the packets of that line will change
their days of sailings from Wednesdays to Saturdays,
departing from Liverpool once a fortnight, alternately
with the British packets, but proceeding on each occa-
sion direct to New York.

Litters addressed to the United States will be for-
warded by the first packet, whether British or United
States, unless directed otherwise ; but letters for Canada
or any other of the North American provinces will be
sent by the British packet alone, unless directed per
" United States packet," in which latter case the letters
will be liable to a postage of ls. 2d. the half etnce, in-
stead of the reduced postage of ed. or Bd., as the case
may be.

DEALING 1N QUESTIONABLE SHARES.

Several instances of dealing in questionable shares
having lately been brought to the knowledge of the com-
mittee of the Stock Exchange, the most recent case being
that of the Columbia Mining Company, on the scrip
certificates of which it was affirmed that 1/. had been
paid, although on inquiry it appeared that there had
been no deposit whatever, and that they were entirely
worthless, the following resolution was pat forth yester-
day :---
"Resolved,—That it is the bounden duty of brokers
who offer, and persons who deal in, sharesof any new core-
Pally to take the precaution, in the first instance, to ascer-
tain whether the company be of a bone fide description, se
as to afford nolacility for the introduction of fraudulent y-
created shares into the market, to the detriment of the
character as well as the interests of the Stock Exchange.
"Nov. 27."
" By order of the Committee.
" GEORGE WEBB, Secretary.

THE CREW OF THE TIGER.—The following officers of
her Majesty's late steamer Tiger have arrived at Berlin

Mr. Soudantore, second mate ; Mr. Edward Lawless,
assistant-surgeon Mr. Quin, gunner i Mr. Delaney,

WRECK OF THE PRINCE.—The Prince screw-stcamer,
which was announced yesterday as having foundered
the Black Sea on the night of the 14th, with all on board,
was a new vessel purchased by the Government some
rnment some
700 ea
months back from the General Screw
tonsw burdener ,
Company for 105,0001. She was of 2,
and bad only lately returned from the Baltic,
l he she
had performed her first services. aasvtaccounts
tohf
her were that she had arrived at Balakla
inst. ; and, as she must therefore have safely landed the
troops she had taken out, the loss of life was limited, it
is hoped, to her officers and crew. The Sea Nymph,
yircltirexperriened a similar fate, is believed to have
Pe
