THE PosT OrFIcE.-The Post Office of
this town was removed on Saturday evening
to the new building in Thames street called
Swinbume's block, and opened on Monday
morning for business. The room now occupied
by the Office is singularly convenient and
well lighted; the boxes new and well fitted
up, with the convenience superadded Of locked
drawers for newspapers and letters, which
were wanting in the old establishment. The
spacious area, which forms the lobby of the
Post Office. is ample for the accommodation of
the largest number which ever assemblies there
Mt the opening and delivery of the mails, and
receives full ventilation and light from the
windows and doors in front. Altogether, the
new establishment does great credit to the
taste and liberality of the proprietor, who has
prepared il for the Government, and will add
another attraction to the building in which it
is placed

the manufacture Of cotton and muslin cloths
In England cotton had been spun so fine that
it would require a thread of 400 miles in leugtk
to weigh pound-but the Hndoo girl had,
by her own hands, constructed a thread which,
would require to be extended | 900 miles to-
weigh a pound and the Deccale muslins Of
her manufacture, when spread on the ground
and covered with dew, are no longer visible"

Faial Experiment wih Chhorgorm.-A
young lady, daughter or Mr.. Macdonald, a
baker in Catharine street, in this city recently
met her death in the most awful manner, from
the use of this now fashionable but most dam
gcrous preparation. About three weeks ago,
the ether was employed to allay the toothache
but subsequently the sufferer was supposed to
die, from what cause does not appear.-The
apparent death, however, was only trance,
or protracted swoon for, on opening the coffin
a day or two ago, the unfortunate girl had
turned round upon her face, and in her agony
and desperation had actually destroyed two of
her fingers, on recovering from her temporary
death by ether.-The Coroner's investigation
should elicit the fact as to who prescribed a
remedy which produced this most frightful
result N. Y. True Sun.

A grard plot has been discovered here, by

them into band of guerillas, with intention,
it is said, Of plundering both parties. But on
the day before they were to commence opera
tions, one of the band, member of Vests
Dragons, became dissatisfied, and laid bare
the whole plot before the authorities ; and the
leaders were Immediately arrested and lodged
in prison. The trial of the Marshal, their
leader. came off about week since, and it
is said he was sentenced to death. BE that as
it may, the prisoner, while returning to Jail in
the custody of one soldier, managed by some
means or other to drug the sentinel, and thus
