We publish in this days Handkerchief is a
double sheet-an extremely full and ample sum-
mary of the interesting intelligence brought across
the Atlantic by the acadia" steam ship, and which
reached this office yesterday by exclusive express
overland from Boston, several hours in anticipation
Of every other newspaper establishment IN this
