MAILS, ADAMS Il Co., &c.-It was seen during
the recent suspension ofnavgaton, that the express
lines were Of the greatest value and utility to the
whole community. While the steamers were fro
zen in the docks, Adams & Co. run two Expresses
day between this city and Boston, stopping at ali
the intermediate towns, dropping money parcels
here and other parcels there. They not only sem
light despatch coach with small parcels, but they
forwarded large packages and boxes by teams,
thereby keeping up the communication with tn,
East with the same rapidity and regularity aswhen
navigation was unobstructed. All these movements
were made at an enormous expense, and carried
through without any aid from Government.
Such enterprise as this ought to be fully reward
ed by the public and we are glad that the business
of Adams & Co. is rapidly on the increase. II
should be recollected that the special messenger
OF this line carried dispatches for the steam shil
Britannia as far as Worcester, at least eight hours
ahead Of the post office agents, and there waited t.
give the latter chance to go into Boston will
them. This is certainly worthy of appreciation,
not alone inthanks, but in dollars and cents Wher
| the mails miserably managed as at present.
| and individuals like Adams and Co., step forward
to assist the merchants out of the ice, by cutting
passage for them to Boston, two hundred and fifty
miles long, the latter ought pat the ice cutters OIL
their back, and patronise them, instead of the lazy
| Government agents, and Preside drones.
1t is said that this Express line connects all the
great cities of the Union by specialmessengers
makes Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Charles
ton, New Orleans, Cincinnati, nc. like SO many
stopping places on the Worcester or any other rail
road. Time and space have become an "impaL
pable nothing" to them
