The arrival aft the Hbsrnia this afternoon BY t,oo
Extraordinary rspidy Of The express run
by .Mssus. Adam, 4 Co., for the large city papers,
opsr the Long Island Railroad ia eOnntrion soiih the
S,oningion and Providence, and Providence road
from Bosion-7As Haiyar, annapolis, and Portland
express, run BY the same papers, in part, In this city,
and other places, uieioriOus--Ths ns,os, &c.
On change, to-day, rumor prevailed at 2 o. m.
that the Hibernia had arrived, and that the news
had passed through the city on It's way South But
imagine it was premature, as the Oregon from Al
lens point with tho express run from Halifax, ar
rived only al few minutes to p. m.
My informant was In error in stating that the
Herald run the Oregon. Itseems that paper run no
express, and that both the expresses were run by
combination of the large papers in this city, with the
Tribune, and the papers in Philadelphia, &c.
The Oregon only beat the Long Island Railroad
express to New York about forty or fifty minutes,
although the Halifax il is said reached Boston near
Ave hours before the Hibernia arrived. This ex-
press is said to have lost three hours between Bos-
ton and Aliens point. The splendid running Ore
gon done her part and a. soon as she landed the pa
psrs and messenger for this city, she proceeded to
Jersey City, Just in the nick Of time TO send the
news on by express messenger, on the regular
train, and the news, no doubt, will be before yoa
early tomorrow morning.
Messn. Adams & Co.'s express, supenntendsd
by WIN. B. Dinsmore, esq, member of the firm,
which came over the Long Island Railroad, came
through from Boston TO New York, 235 miles, in
hours and II minutes!
From Boston to Stonngton 900 miles, was run in
2 hours and IL minutes. Owing To an accident on
board Of the boat from Stonington TO tho eastern
terminus Of the Long Island Railroad 10 said thir
ty minutes were lost. From the terminus, at Green
port, to the depot in Brooklyn, opposite this city,
96t miles, the locomotive made the time in 2 hours
and 10 minutes; and would have made il sooner,
had not the tender at one point run off the track.
Six hours and fony-seven minutes, from Boston 10
New York, 10 the shortest time the distance was
ever passed over This express arrived At the depot
in Brooklyn at 10 minutes to S p. m.
During the summer, have no doubt that the
expresses from Halifax across Nova Scotia, via
Portland, Boston, and the Long Island Railroad, will
put all others at defiance.
The news 10 before you, and proves TO be i'm.
portanl The William J. Romer had not arrived
out, and serious fears entertained by the pilots
here that she is lost. The 81. Nicholas (Eclipse)
beat out, distancng her competitors; the Patrick
Henry, (EcIipse,) arrived next, the ID March, at
Liverpool, and the ST. Nicholas the 18th February,
at Havre. The Patrick Henry carried out the ar
btration correspondence TO England, which, as
predicted, advanced cotton, and depressed the Eng
lish funds.
If the Romer reached Holyhead. to which point
she was said TO be insured at the Croton Insurance
Company, in this city, she may have landed safe,
and the fact be unknown to the public in England.
You will see the English have had great battle
in India, and dearly bought victory. The cotton
had been depressed, owing to the tighness Of the
money market, failures, &c; but on the arrival OF
the Patrick Henry it went up an id. per TO-.

and Liverpool. The grain and -four market was
depressed.
The French Chamber Of Deputies had voted an
appropriation in favor Of encouraging line of
steamers TO run between Havrs and New York.
The Cunard Company were about adding another
fine steamer to their line.
Yours, truly, and in haste,
MORGAN.
