II seems to be universally known that the most
unheard OF arrangements were made to run ex-
presses with the Cambra's news, to this city II 10
as universally known, too, this city, that most
unheard Of combination had been organized, to beat
the Neo York Herald What is the result
We had, in justice to our numerous subscribers,
made most perfect arrangements for running ex-
PRESS and although our rivals had been for several
days past walowing in an anticipated triumph, we
had our eye to wiodward and did not despair Of
administering "a hem another Waterloo defeat
But as such occu noes are not uncommon with us,
we made no parade about our arrangements. We
were satisfied, that il energy and perseverance were
Of any avail. we should succeed and, indeed, not
liking to disturb them In their reverie, we did not
asmuch as inform them, that If their arrangements
extended as far the farthest point reached by
them navigators even psss ultra Of the earliest
oOyageuy, we would nevertheless have beaten them.

Holy Alliance was about three-quarters Of an hour In
advance Of him; but thinking nothing Of that he, with
the steam all up and ready, mounted q locomotive
which was in readiness for him by previous arrange
ment, and pursued his way to Worcester over ,be
Worcester Railroad, at a rate of speed never equa
led on this continent, reaching Worcester in less
road to Norwich, and made that point in lees than
two hours. He then went on board the splendid
steamboat Traveller, at Aliens Point, and crossed
the Sound to Greenport, distance Of thirty.one
miles, against a head tide, in one hour and
thirty-throe minutes. Probably no boat IN
the world could have run the distance with
the same wind and tide, within the same tune.
