The frequent failure of the mail on the Bridgeport route is exceed ingly annoying, and should be enquired in- to; and whether the blame is traced to the steamboat or railroad, or to the Pos.

 0TThe President of the United States arrived in New-York on Monday, and was to leave this (Wed nesday; evening in the Stonington boat for Proyi- dence and Boston. On Saturday he is to attend the grand celebration of the completion of Bunker Hill Monument, and has had assigned him the most hon. orable place in the procession, which will doubtless be the largest ever witnessed in New-England.

The course of Ex-Governor Seward therefore, in presiding over meeting of the friends of Ireland in NewYork city, and expressing his heartfelt sympathies and feelings this subject, instead of the it receives from portion of the press in that city, deserves the commenduton of Fpie nd Af ihartu and ifv ard expresses the bell e that Peace only be pre- served to Ireland by all the communities of civilized men, on this continent and on the other, by all the nations of Christendom declaring their earnest yiction that IRELAND RIGHT IN HER DEMANDS and by making known that her struggles for justice have en- listed the sympathies of mankind.

Mr. Mer- rts was dated one day later than the other, and of course confers on him the appointment. So that the Tyler man is tilted Who cares7 But what an ex- hibition of Tylerism"'
 Among some papers of Aaron Burr, which have recently been rescued from oblivion, is the following note to an opinion in the famous Livingston Steam. boat case:
 "P.S. have endeavored to render these remarks intelligible by avoiding technical expressions, and think have succeeded, except where it became ne- cessary to speak of special pleading, which deies equally common sense and common language The argon of this science Gas it is termed' is like the slang of highwaymen, invented for similar purposes -integble only to those of the profession.

 Nev Financial Schems-A correspondent in Wash ngton whose occasional letters have given hints of coming events, or hints which seemed to prevent certain contemplated acts, writes to follows:
