EeIy Mail arrangement.

We received at an early honr thls morning,
New York papers of yesterday evening, when
were brought on from Philadelphia last night
by the Rail Road. under the new arrangement.
The news viii be found under the - Eastern
Mail' head. For long time past it has been
the practice to send mail from New DIRK at
five O'Clock each afternoon (Which, contain
ing an account of all the business of the Gay,
is the most important mail from that cIty.)
This mail cot into Philadel phla at about ten
O'Clock. p. M, and was there suffered 10 sleep
till o'clock the next morning. This bad ar
ranpement has been broken up, and now,
thanks to the energy Of the Rail Road ComPa-
nv and the new Postmaster General, the mail
is brought on direct from PhiladeI phia, and
arrives in Baltimore by six o'clock In the NOR
ming, instead Of three o'clock inthe afternoon.
thus placing our merchants in possession of
their New York letters before the business OF
the day commences, instead of after it has clos

those for the West, were enabled TO take the
cars at seven O'clock this morning, and those
for the South took the Washington cars at 9
o'clock. The mails also proceed on in the
same way. Thus the mil md passengers
were advanced fully one day over the old az
rangement.

if it prove correct, will greatly add to the mail
