TIRE SUN, LONDON,

we had no further occasion for Mr. Ross's
services, and we regret that we had no
vacancy for him upon our establishment—
we regret it the - more, because the genuine
spirit of persecution inherent in all Jaco-
bins, has pressed upon the Morning Chronicle
the necessity of (reluctantly as we firmly believe)
dismissing this gentleman from his permanent en-
gagement with that journal. And thus this unlucky
man—a gentleman of education and talent, and of
unspotted honour—is with his family thrown up )n
the world, for having merely discharged, with fidelity,
the duty owing by every good subject.

MORNING MAILS AND MONEY ORDERS.--The pub-
lic are scarcely aware of the extent of the morning mails
daily dispatched from the General Post-office, and the number
of post towns at which money orders are now made payable.
The following analysis will convey an idea of the importance
to the community of these branches of the Post-office ser-
vice ;—ln England and Wales there are 906 post towns to
which, by the regulation list corrected up to yesterday
(March Ist), there are dispatched daily, per morning mail,
150 bags—nearly equal to one-sixth of the entire number.
At 610 of the above post towns money orders are granted
and made payable—an increase of nine-tenths, as compared
with the extent of the practice some few years ago. In Ire-
land there are 682 post towns, of which there are 327 se-
lected for the receipt and payment of money orders ; and in
Scotland, of 636 post towns, 213 possess the same kind of ac-
commodation. It is but partially known that newspapers
and letters for the whole of Ireland and Scotland are dis-
patched by morning mail from the General Post-office.
AMERICAN DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.—Mr. Shep-
pard, late of England, committed suicide at Saco, Maine, a
few days ago. Mrs. Loring French also committed suicide at
the same place, on the same day. Mr. Edward O'Connor,
late of Ireland, Counsellor-at-Law, destroyed himself at
Boston, on Monday night. M. Messemer, player on the
cornet-a-piston, from France, was assassinated at Mobile, on
the Ist instant, but is expected to recover from his wounds.
Judge
_Turley, of Nashville, has been caned by Major
Turner, for offering an insult to a lady; and Mr. Maxsey,
Mayor of Nashville, has been caned by Mr. Payne. Mr.
Richard Polhemus was murdered near Freehold, New Jersey,
on Friday, and a neighbour of the deceased, Mr. W. Reed,
has been arrested on suspicion. Mr. Leech, believed to be
from England, was killed in a quarrel with Messrs. Law,cm
and M'Leod, at Nevi Orleans, on the 23d ult. At Caddo,
Texas, on the 10th ult., Judge Hansford was barbarously
murdered by Mr. Moseley and his son-in-law, because his
judicial view of a lawsuitwas adverse to their interests.
BELLS IN FRANCE.—The Archbishop of Bordeaux
has published a long and interesting pastoral letter on church
bells, from which we extract the following passage :
" There is a diocese of France, that of Belley, in which
200 steeples have been rebuilt or newly constructed, and pro-
vided with bells of all sizes; there is not a village in Lor-
raine that has not recovered its former peal of bells; and in
the towers of the cathedrals of Paris, Lyons, Rheims, Poi-
tiers, Strasbourg, Nancy, Rouen, Amiens, Sens, and Ven-
dome, are still to be seen the celebrated bourdons which added
so much to their renown. The steeples of the cathedrals of
Nantes, Chartres, and Rodez have been lately furnished with
peals of bells far superior to those of which they had been
despoiled."
