CHESTER, FEB. 27.—PARCEL ROBBERY.—A most
daring as well as adroit robbery was committed upon the porter em
ployed by the London and Birmingham Railway Company on Thurs-
day morning last. It appears that the porter left the station at
Euston-square with between forty and fifty parcels in his basket,
for delivery in various parts of London ; when he got to Gray'.
Inn, a man came to him and said he bad been sent after
him from the station with two parcels, which he produced,
and which he said were to be delivered immediately. The
stranger told the porter if he would run with the two parcels, he
would take care of his basket till his return. The porter most tbol-
ishly took the bait, went off with the two fictitious parcels, and on
his return found his basket and parcels had all disappeared. The
consequence of this act of egregious folly on the part of the porter
can hardly be imagined—no doubt it will be serious ; one or two
of the parcels were froth solicitors in this city. The railway coin-
pang are, of course, liable for the act of their porter, and will, do
doubt, do all that they can to remedy the loss ; but in the case of
legal documents, it is very often impossible to obviate the injury by
any pecuniary compensation.
GREAT NUMBER vF NEWSPAPERS DISPATCHED.-,
The dispatch of newspapers on Saturday night last from the General
Post-office was so large, that it was found impossible to get through
the duty before nearly three-quarters of an hour beyond the usua'
time. The number posted, assorted, and dispatched, is estimated
at 130,000, besides which 35,000 were forwarded by the morning
mails. _ _ _ _

ISCRF.ASE OF TUE MORNING MAILS.—The arrange-
ments to the north of England, rid the Peterborough branch of the
London and Birmingham Railway, being now completed between
the Post-office authorities and the Railway Company, several towns
on the line will have, in future, the benefit of a morning dispatch to
and from London. Stamford (six miles from the station at Sibson),
is also put on the morning mail list, there being a coach in connexion
with the line, by which conveyance the bag is forwarded. Bags are
.now made up six times daily at the General Post-onice for Brightqn,
and dispatches from that town received equally frequent for delivery
in London. It is said that Mr. Hudson, of the Eastcln Counties line,
.hits'masde en offer to 'the Post-office authorities to convey the bags
