Our Special Express from Boston-Annihila-
tion OF the Holy Alliance.
1t 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. 10
as universally known, too. IN 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 numerous subscribers,
made most perfect arrangements for running an ex-
press; and although our rivals had been for several
days past walowing in an anticipated triumph, we
had our eye to wndward, and did not despair of
administering to them another Waterloo defeat
But as such occurrences are not uncommon with us,
we made parade about arrangements We
were satisfied that, If 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
thern navigators, even Plus ultra Of the earliest
Voyagesv, we would nevertheless have beaten them.
Our readers are aware of the extensive prepara-
tons that were made to oppose US. We will now
proceed to give the history Of express, and the
incidents connected with its journey, from the time
left Boston until it reached our Office promising,
however, that the express Of the Holy Alliance, alias
stockobbing and specializing express, had received
the news at Halifax N. S. and that the express for
this journal was managed by Mr. l.. Bigelow, the
enterprisng proprietor of the Fltchburg keane, and
Montreal daily express, gentleman Of unparalleled
enterprise and energy, and whom we commend to
the patronage of the public at large.
The steamship Cambria arrived in Boston II half
past ten o'clock, ON Wednesday night, and the
express Of the Holy Alliance arrived at about the
same time Our energetic express agent boarded her
Immediately, and before 1t was known she had ar
rived After he had received the papers for this Office,
and got every thing ready to start the express Of the
Holy Alliance was about three quarters Of hour in
advance of him; but thinking nothing of that h, with
the steam all up and ready, mounted q locomotive
which was in readiness for him by previous anange
ment, and pursued his way to Worcester over b0
Worcester Railroad, at a rate Of speed never equa
led on this continent, reaching Worcester in less
than one hour. From Worcester he took the rail-
road to Norwich, and made that point in Ices than
two hours. He then went on board the splendid
steamboat Traveller, at Aliens Point, and crossed
the Sound to Greenport, a distance Of thirty-one
miles, against a head tide, in one hour and
thirty-thrce minutes. Probably no boat in
the world could have run the distance with
the same wind and tide, within the same time.
On arriving at Greenport our agent took the Long
Island Railroad to South Brooklyn The run upon
this road was nprecedented-indeed, we dare
hardly state the speed The President Of that
Company, In accordance with the contract we bad
made with him, had relays Of locomotives stationed
At three different points the road, to supply any
deficiency that might arise, and each tender was
provided with hand car, that would, in case OF
emergency proceed at the rate OF twelve miles per
hour No accident, however, occurred, and I'll
went smoothly up to the time OF the arrival OF our
express agent at this office.
The phole running time Of osw express, from ne
time it left Boston Sntl reached s~ c0Scs. ssas
,evem hours and fue minutes, rats Of spssd sssr
before approachsd in the histsvy Of ssens1.
Owing to a detention in a former express, BY
which our agent was obliged to take the Sound route,
md trust to luck for success, and which, indeed,
would have beaten the alliance, but that the boats
progress was impedel by Toe at Throgg's Neck-and
not desiring to be caught in the same di dilemma,
second time-we had arranged another express by
the Sound without the ice, and il reached our Once
about two hours after our hrst one A regards the
Holy Alliance Express, there are a. yet no positive
tidinqs, but we have hopes will arrive sometime
this week Some one has said, however, that It ar
rived Yesterday afternoon.
Immediately after the news reached our Once,
became bruited around the city that the cambria
had arrived and business Of all kinds was susPeho
ed. until our extra WIS issued. The crowd afouao
our office was never 90 great. The in'sassss aA.s-
