veying letters in the West lndia mail steamers, is as
certained to be about one thousand dollars per letter ,
This of course does not come out of the writers of
the letters, nor the receivers thereof, but out Of the
English COVE rnment. These steamers are run at a
great expense, each being manned by eighty men,
and consuming about thirty tons Of coal a day. II,
after this great outlay, they no dot carry more than
one letter each trip from Tortola to st. Croix, as
was the case with the last mail steamer thence, we
shall think that the steamers either belong outright
to the British government. and were built to hover
near our coast, or that the Steamship Company
is composed OF a very philanlhropic and public spi.
r'ed set OF men, to carry letters for other people at
an expense OF one thousand dollars each.

rican comic singer-his various hits at the times, a por-
ton Of which, We understand, are of his own produc-
ton, is an attraction Of itsen, while Master Bates's horn.

presented by any Museum. Mr.. Dingle's c~alebreted Co.

On DIT-Wonders will never cease. Among the
signs of the approaching millennium is tina; Of the
contemplated change in the profession of one Of our
great tragedians, who, report says, is about to COM
mence the study of Theology. What foundation
there is for this report we know not, but it is certain
that he has recently received numerous visits from
pious ladies and gentlemen while seated on the
anxious bench. Can any of our readers give us an
account of the musical soiree recently held at his
house, in 22d street, at which theological professors,
students, and many other devout persons were
present! We would be happy to obtain some
account of this affair, which it is said was a splendid
and judicious combination of refinement, elegance
and piety.
