SUNDAY LETTER CAURIERS.—Some of the pas
sengers, when they arrived at Southampton, on Sunday last
by the excursion train from London, immediately sent off
two carrier pigeons, with notes announcing their arrival safe
from railway accidents. .The pigeons,. es soon as they were
let. go, ascended over the town of Southampton, and for a
fit; moments they kept darting towards all points of the
compass. and revelling apparently in the sunbeams that
were playing on Southampton water. In a very short time,
however, true to unerring instinct, they flew off rapidly in a
north-easterly direction towards the exttropolis.
