DERBY MAIL.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
The early mail train from Derby being too late in
Birmingham on Sunday morning last to go forward to
Liverpool, the bags, containing letters, &c., of very great
importance to go by the American packet, were de-
tained in Birmingham until the departure of the day
mail, which arrived in Liverpool about two hours too
late for the packet. This will be a very serious thing
for the merchants of Sheffield, Nottingham, and Derby ;
but, to make bad worse, all these letters &c., are detained
at Liverpool without the knowledge of the writers, and
perhaps will remain there for weeks.
