The Postal Arrangements or the Steamships.
What ought to be done

There are now four lines of ocean steamships
in active operation between the United States
and Europe-the Cunard line, plying between
Boston and England the French line, between
Cherbourg and New York; the American line,
between New York and Southampton, and the
Sarah Sands, between Liverpool and New York;
and, in very short time, we shall have
Cunard line of four steamships, between Liver
pool and this port Each vessel of these several
lines will carry a mail to and from its ports of
destination; and considerable portion of their
income will be derived from postage and pas
sengers.
1t is the interest of the propretors and
agents of each, to fix the days of departure
of their vessels that no two will leave
either Europe or America on the same day This
is,manfestly their policy, not only on account OF
the difference it would make in the amount OF
their mails, but also account of the number
of passengers they would take. II two steam
ships leave the United States the same day, OF
course the mails and the passengers must be d.
vided between them; for 1t cannot he expected
that both would get much, each, as one would.
The same may be said Of passeng One ves-
sci would get half, or perhaps third, while the
other would get the remainder.
We are informed that the American line
intend to arrange matters, in this respect, to
the satisfaction of the public. Inasmuch as Mr.
Cunard was the first in the field, he has fixed
upon the days on which his vessels shall depart,
and that adheres to the same days as here
tofore. The proprietors of the American line
will fix theirs, so that hereafter their days
of sailing will not conflict with the Boston
line. The French line being next in order,
it remains with the agents q ereof to fix
their days of sailing, SO that they will not
interfere with those of either of the other
lines, and SO with the other lines to follow
If an arrangement of this kind were entered in
to by all the lines, it would be advantageous to
all the proprietors, as well to the people of the
three countries. Besides,we should have regu-
lar weekly communication with the Old World,
and rice versa.
We commend these considerations to the at
tention of the proprietors and agents OF the
French line of steamships, with the hope that
they will see the propriety of having their YES.
sells leave on days that will not interfere with
the sailing OF those Of the other lines.

WHEAT FROM THE BLACK SEA.--On the Goth

settles, all loaded with wheat The port was so
crowded, that at least 400 vessels were obliged
to lie at anchor outside.

After all, the late "important" news from
Mexico is of no importance. Although il is sup
posed that General Scott will be compelled to,
march to, and ke,..ihs CITY of Mexico, yet
nothing authentic has been received to indi-
cate what will be done. Our actual advices
from the city of Mexico are four days later, and
from Vera Cruz six days later.

Boat has been destroyed by fire. She caught last
Tuesday night about O'Clock, whilst lying at her
wharf on West Falls Avenue, and burnt to the wa
ter's edge. The boat we learn, had been employed
in towing out vessel during the day, and had come
to at her wharf about o'clock, when her fires were
put out and shortly afterwards all the hands, with
the exception ofthe cook, left for their homes. The
cook was employed in the forward part Of the boat
when his attention attracted by dense smoke,
and on going aft he found the whole hold in flames
He Immediately attempted TO give the alarm by ring

will be of great interest to that class of political
economists who take pleasure in possessing them
selves of such knowledge. A statement of the full
amount of Breadstus, and every description OF Pro-
Visions exported from the u States to foreign ports,
from the organization of the Government, will be
embodied in it. The exports from 1920 to Both June
last, have been already published, or the present
years ready for publications but to prepare those

Houses in the U. States have been recently over

tary to carry his measure into effect.
