The Express Mail Of yesterday came through
from Mobile in due course, but brought no news
from the North or East. A few Western slips were

we believe that nine tenths of the failures of the
Mail in the same way. II is not therefore just
T. own contractor leave this fact unno'iced,
vet some of city papers not only furben to do
Mr.. Whitman This act of justice bu, by imputation
if not by direct charge, leave the onus of failure
on him. This was particularly the case yesterday
when one of our omplnining brethren said it was
an additional ggra vation in the failure of the
to think that it was lying still about a hundred
miles from us. when many impatiently
looking for it. Never have tho Mobile Boats of
| the Mail limo been so punctua under all circum-
stances as since Mr.. Whitman had the contract,
but he can neither control accidents expedite
a slothful rider. Last week the Ouachita was
run into and disabled, and being compelled to GO
bach the bes, way she could, the mail was lost
but in most other cases the delay has occurred

TIE CAMP.

The "li,le" Camp, as tamiliars term it, opens
on Sunday evening with TWO novelties, each high
ly distinguished in it's grade. The first is Bull
wcr's most exciting play "The Lady of Lyons"
We have never this represented, but we have
road il with critical care, and if experience give
any weight to opinion, it may be considered as
by far, tho most effective drama Of the day. We
pronounce this with fresh remembrance of the
plays of Knowles, and ye, have no fear that our
Judgment will be impugned by those who wncss
the representation. The critics Of New York ac
cord almost. unlimited praise TO Mrs. Barrett for
her performance of Pauline, and Mr. Fredericks,
who played Claude MelnotIe a, the Park, lost
nothing by the strictes, comparison with Forrest
When to these wo add that Baryet's old soldier
Dumas was pronounced by all, superior to any
of his cont mporares, little can be wanting to in
sure the first performance at the Camp triumph
The second piece is called 'Presumpive Evil
donce,' in which VIM. Seton plays sailor in true
ma utical style. His sailors the most ship shape
on tho stage. 'hn Green plays Pryce kinshcieye
an Irish peasant Of an orig nal, and most pee ua

tun of tho authors dream. Such bill us Thu

AT half past 8 last evening a well dressed mn
found lying on the bnnquetre in Gravitr 'st.
between Carondeet nd Baronne in a state of total
insensibility. He was found, face upward, while
the rain pouring down in torrents, in such
situation that death must have shortly ems sued had
he not hsen seen by Aldermen Gloyd and some
friends who Instantly called loudly and frequently
for the "Wach." For a length of time none
s~ sred to the call: at length one came from Com
mon ST. and being unable TO move him alone, rap.
ed long and loud with his staff, but all in vain
The Alderman then ordered him to spring his
rattle which, on his authority, was done. The
man rattled until his arm ached, yet no came,
| AT length a neghbor huranely took the nsensib!e
| being into the shelter &, his humble house. Such
| negligence needs comment. The Alderman
We presume, will report such culpahle absence
on the part Of thosewhose duty it was to be on the
neighborng heats. If such conduct be not promp.
y p.tntished, the watch may as well be dismiss
ed al once.

Hork for Firemen. Some years ago Mr.. Bar
Der Beaumont, president of an Insurance office in
London, made calculation that there were seven
fires, mad alarms Of fire nightly in the British Me-
tropoIis. But the average of positive fires is about
two per diem. as appears from records kept at
some of the offices. In tho year 1886 there took
place 6s4 fires. Last year there occurred ZIG:
and in the present fer the month of January, 81 :
February, IS: March, IS: April SO: May. 81: June
90: July, 40: August, 81. 1t is enormously com
puted by some who have commented on this
satement that there are more fires take place Than
in any other ctyin the world. This is only true
in certain way. Ii ia natural there should be
m ore in London than in any other city known
because it is much larger than any other with
whose details we become acquainted. Londor
Contains about million and three quarters OF in
habitants, and from this fact, and its vast exten
has larger aggregate than Others, but the rela
tive risk in London is less than in many of GU
own cities, us the houses ALL or nearly all bull
of brick, so that il is rare that a FIRE consume
more than one house before il is put out. w
have no statistics OF the fires in own city wit
| which TO compare this statement but have it'll
| doubt our opinion would be found correct if III
wo tables could be conirastcd.

Noble Pisitor.-Many of the ars,ocrni 8 of Eu-

and in most cases, where they have been dis,in-

their urbanity and good breeding-the Marquis Of
Waterford always excepted. We in hourly
expectation Of hearing the arrival of the Earl OF
Durham in New York and have doubt he will
be highly delighted with the evidences which will
there NEE, him of the ulvantages Of free govern
ment, for the Earl has ever been distinguished for
his great iberaiity in politics. Lord Charles Wei
lesly, second son of the Duke Of Wellington and
Lieut. Colonel of the 18th foot regiment, has been
for some time in New York where he seems te
have iarried with much satisfaction before joining
his regiment in Canada. His quiet unaffected
manners are the subjects Of remark, daily, in tn,
New York papers. These visits have good ten

which have too long existed between tho oil
country and our own, for many must return will

is prubabl from the returns received thar his vote

handsome ma ority Of 1857 for the wing candidate
hui the ID townships neu'razed i, and returned
DR. Duncan again to the infinite disgrace Of the

This result is attributed by the Wing TO the
want of personal popularity in Col Pendleron in

party, in the second, as they might have poled nj
