THE EXPRESS CAsE.-Mr. Holbrook, the agent
of the Post Office Department, has obtained suii-
cient evidence to commence the suits against the
express companies, charged with carrying letters
over the United States mail routes.
The case of the United States u.s. Thomp-
son & Co.'S Express, for violation of the
Post Office laws, in carrying letters out
Of the mail over the Western Railroad,
between Springfield and Albany, came up before
his honor Judge Sprague, in the United States
Circuit Court, at Boston, yesterday. Nearly the
whole of the day was occupied in settling the
question whether the way in which the mail is
carried by the railroad company between Boston
and Albany constitutes, according TO the lam
guage of the law, a contract with the Postmaster
General.
The mail Oh this, like many other routes, is
carried sometimes, for while, merely by verbal
agreement, no contract having been executed,
both parties governed by former contracts, which
have not been renewed. Robert Rantoul, Jr.,
for the prosecution Choat and Ashman for the
defendant.
If the points raised by the defendants counsel
in this case are sustained, Mr. Cave Johnson
must make contracts with the railroad companies
Mt once, or the letter-carrYing business will be
taken ont his hands by these express companies.

We give, on the first page OF this DAYS paper.
the affdavits Of four or five individuals employed
by the press OF this city to procure and forward
by the New York and Boston magnetic tee-
graph the news from Europe, upon the arrival
of the steam ship Britannia at Boston,
We give these statements, made under oath,
Tor the purpose OF placing before the public the
facts connected with the matter, TO enable them
to draw their own differences. 1t appears to us
as if those engaged in transmitting the news, the
company's operators, had, for motives as yet un-
explained, grossly deceived the parties employed
by the New York press, TO say the least,
When such an important method of communi-
cation this is in the hands of those who sacri-
flee public benefit for private interests, it be-.
comes dangerous matter, and completely de-
stroys all the advantages Of the invention.
We have repeatedly stated that these mag
netic lines should be the hands of the CO.
vernment, .and the experience of the past week
confirms our first impression. No one can place
the slightest confidence in of these lines, as
they now managed, as there appears to be
tos much fanaticsm, or some otLer ism, behind
the scenes calculated to turn them into the hands
ofspeculators.
The conductorsor propretors OF these telegraph
lines no doubt imagine that they are beyond the
reach of the people the power of the press, but
they may find out their mistake when it is too
late. We are disposed to give them the benefit
Of any investigation they may choose to make be-
fore condemning them any further. 1t is due to
themselves and to the public that an exposition of
the affair should be given. But ncver tride With
the starving.

ATLANTIC STEAMERS We understand that the
French government have recently made con-
tract with private company to run line of
steamships between the city of New York and
Cherbourg, in France. The government, it APP
pears, has coded to this company the steamship
Ulloa, Darien, Christophe Colombo and Cana.
da, each of which is two thousand tons burden
and $50 horse power, for the term of ten years,
on condition that they have them insured for
twelve million francs. BY the terms Of treaty, it
is said that these vessels were to commence run
ming on the first of December Aext, but it is pro-
bable they will not be ready till early in the
spring.
Every person knows that the United States
government has made contract with company
in this city to run line of four steamships
from this port to Cowes and Bremen, the first of
which will eave here next spring. This company
have thus far been highly successful Their
steamship now on the stocks in this city will be
magnificent vessel. We refer our readers to a
notice of this company in another column of this
days Herald
The English government has also made con.
tract with Mr.. Cunard to run line between here
and Liverpool.
The Great Western Company will probably
build one or two more vessels.
Thus it appears that in the year lS47 we will
have four different lines of steamships running
between this port and Europe-numberng, in
all some seventeen or eighteen vessels. The
benefits arising from which, will be chiefly felt in
New York, but will also be extended to the most
distant parts Of our great country.
The influence Of our government and instiiu'
tons on Europe will, of course, be proportonably
increased by this frequent and rapid communica-
ton. Steam seems designed as the great elemen.
in advancing the prosperity and greatness Of the
United States.
