The mail of the "Hibernia" frem Liverpool,
was the largest ever brought to this country
There were over so, 900 letters and $50 bushels
of newspapers brought out Good gracious!-
The mail reached the Boston Post office at
O'Clock on Wednesday morning, and soon after
O'Clock in the afternoon, this vast number of
letters were sorted, mailed and sent off to New
York by the evening train, via Worcester and
Norwich railroad. The Hibernia brought ~
passengers across the Atlantic, and among them
is Coleman, who has become so eminent in Eu-
rope and this country, by his "Eolian Attach
ment" to Pianos.
The iourneymen bakers of New York and
Brooklyn hold a mass meeting tomorrow night,
for the purpose of adopting measures which
will improve their condition. The "bosses' are
invited to attend and doubtless wages will be
advanced. Both parties then understand con
which side their bread is buttered." The Jour
neymen masons, after the LIST of March, will de-
mand Sl.75 per day.
The trial of Mr.. Adams, of Ohio, for obtain
ing goods, of Suydam, Sage s Co., under false
pretences, is a complicated as well as curious
affair. There are strange Developments made
by the witnesses. 1t seems there are heavy OPP
orators in the Provisions in this market, who
speculate i'll produce just az Brokers do in
stocks selling in advance large quantities, sub
ect to future delivery. Many business men
are in constant attendance on this trial.
Collector Van Ness has got himself full up
to the chin in shot water" In addition to the
other candidates for the Office and the circle of
friends they have actively contending against
Van Ness, the officers he discharged the other
day, Gall undoubted Democrats and most eff
cient and experienced oflicers,) are most zeal
ously at work to undermine him; and it will be
a miracle if he is not politically upset and
thrown overheard
Delightfully."- interspersed with the round Of
concerts and public balls, in this city, are occa
sional lectures from some highly cultivated
minds and classical scholars, Prof Elton, for
merly one of the accomplished Professors of
Brown University, has G ven three lectures in
this city, on Herculaneum and Pompe,
which have delighted those who have been
SO fortunate as to hear them. Professor
Elton resided some years in Italy, and both
from observation and classical researches, he is
enabled TO throw not only instruction, but the
deepest interest into his lectures. He is an &C
complished gentleman, and on his way South,
he proposes to tarry few days in your city,
and doubt not he will repeat his lectures if de-
sired. He is worthy of any attentions which
may be bestowed upon him in Philadelphia
mentioned yesterday the determination of
the New York business men to establish steam
communication between this city and Balti-
more, not only to carry freight but passengers.
This has grown out of the exorbitant charges
on the Railroads and Canal between New York
and your city, as well as to Baltimore. For
years, these high rates and inferior accommo-
dations have been the subject of perpetual
complaint. Various efforts have been made to
get Il reduction or to supply new facilities and
get up some opposition, but as yet, they have
all proved unavalipg. But one remedy seems
to be left for the business men of New York,
and from the spirit exhibited at the public
meeting and character of those who propose
to engage in the new enterprise, success is in
evitable. In the meanwhile Philadelphia suf- |
fers from the cupidity of few men, and her
business must materially be curtaied, because |
nobody can approach your city, except under
the most odious exactions of a few capitalists
residing in New York or New Jersey
