Mr.. f. O. J. SMITH, the Director Of the Tele-
graph informed as that in a short time he expected
10 have the wires Of the Telegraph reach Halifax
thereby bringing England nearer 70 US by at least
two DAYS So that we may safely calculate upon
obtaining foreign news within ten days OF the time
OF the steamers leaving England.
The Telegraph TO Portland, he said, would be
finished this week. So that next Winter the
Down casters will be able to hear the speeches

two exceptions, we We're accustomed 70 hear last
Session from the Delegation from Maine.

believed on this ponlt-and are willing that ours,
like travellers stories generally, should be received
with cautious reserve.
Although we were IN Boston bat twelve hours
from 5 A. NJ. 10 8 p NJ inclusive--we observed
many things We took notes and may PRINT them
at some future time. This. however, may not be
an improper occasion for the expression OF our graft

papers and notwithstanding Mayor Quincy's char
