The City Despatch Post, By reference to
an advertisement in another column it will be
perceived that the new establishment called
the City Despatch Post has been transferred
to Mr.. Charles w. Reed, under whose Judi
cious management will be made medium
of speedy intercommunication between remote
parts of the city. The success which has fol-
lowed the introduction OF similar projects in
other cities, and the patronage extended to that
recently commenced here give ample reason TO
believe that it will be of infinite public utility.
The present proprietor has made such 'altera-
tons and amendments as are calculated to
make il most efficient, and by a strict atten-
ton to the business we have no doubt it will
be literally patronzed.

quite seriously injured yesterday morning at
the steam planeng establishment of Mr.. Tur-
ner, in Conway street. He was in attendance
on the steam engine, when by some means or
other one of his hands became entangled in the
