Loss OF A MAIL-BAG.--On Tuesday morning last,
owing to a defect in the buckles connecting the strap by
which the Birmingham and Brierly-bill bag was sus-
pended, it was unfortunately dropped on the road, and no
tidings were heard of its having been found until Wed-
nesday, when a collier informed the tollgate-keeper that
he had found it near Greatbridge. Information was im-
mediately forwarded to the guard, and the bag was
restored. It was discovered, however, that another seal
had been substituted for the one from the Post-office, and
that all the letters (between 40 and 50) had been opened.
The guard and two police-officers were immediately de-
spatched';' and the collier was taken into custody on Wed-
nesday evening. We rejoice to state that none of the
letters were missing, and that the inconvenience of a day's
delay is, as it appears, the only material result.—Ten
Towns' Messenger.
