The EASTERN MAIL AGAIN.-Our readers are
aware that Cave Johnson sin person" came to
this city for the purpose of arranging the East
ern mail from this city, and stopping the thou
sand and one complaints that the newspapers and
thespubllc have been making in respect to its
irregularities for a long time past
He did arrange it, but howl BY throwing it
into greater state of confusion than ever.
AS soon as he made new contract he took
good care to make every person acquainted with
the fact. The Postmaster in this city, published an
advertisement that the mail boat would leave at 5
o'clock AM, requ> sting editors to have their a
pers In the postoffce at quarter before 5, or as
much earlier as possible. So far so good; but 1t
happened that the boat was too late two or three
days to connect with the railroads, and the mails
did not reach further than New Haven. In or
der to ensure her reaching in time, she after
wards started from here at half past four, and
this, too, without any notice to that effect being
published, the consequence Of which was that all
the papers were left behind in New York. Now,
II notice had been given, there would not have
been SO much to complain Of but as it was not,
there Is every just ground for censure. But even
starting at half-patt four the steamboat was too
late to connect with the cars leaving New Haven,
and we now learn that she will hereafter start al
four o'clock in the morning.
This would perhaps be all very good if the public
were made acquainted with it, but no such trouble
was taken in the matter. Editors were publicly
notified to have their papers in the post Office
quarter before five. They did So but the,
were delayed; and now the boat leaves at four
| without any notice. Comment is unnecessary
| when we consider that Mr.. Johnson PERSONAL,
made this new arrangement

The News from Eur0Pe-Crlsls In the Money
Mnrket-MOre Failures


The Caledonia brings us five days later intel
gence from all parts of Europe. We have
given full reports of the markets and all other
commercial and financial news. The merchants
have received their letters, and the full extent
of the failures on the other side and the effect
in lis market has been pretty well determined
upon.
So far as we have been able tojudge, the effect
here as yet has not been very disastrous. Our
corn dealers stand it nobly, and we have so much
confidence in their ability to bear heavy losses,
without suspending payment, that we do not an
ticipate any very serious result. During the
past two years our corn dealers have made
great deal of money, prices have been steadily
advancing, and large fortunes have been real
lied. We have no doubt portion of these for
tunes will be lost, but that many will become in
solvent, we have our doubts.
The importations of specie into this country
since the LIST Of January have been about twenty
five millions of dollars, most of which was in
payment for shipments of breadstufis from the
United States to Great Britain and Ireland.
This, however, is but portion ofthe amount we
have in the aggregate received for flour and
grain exported. 1t is estimated that the value
of breadstuffs exported from this country within
the past year, amounts to about sixty millions OF
dollars, or about fifty millions over and above
our usual shipments. The profits on these ship
ments have been immense, and we can afford to
lose part of it.
We give below list Of the failures in Europe,
so far as we have been able to gather them.

The amount Of the liabilities Of these houses
is not less than two and half million pounds
sterling 1t is difficult, at present, to tell what
portion of this will fall on this side, or what the
amount of the assets will be. Those who have
been heavy losers will stave off insolvency as
long as possible, should they be placed in that
condition, and we may see the effect of this state
of things some months hence.
Prices of breadstuffs in this market remain
exceedingly firm. Holders do not bulge an
