The FOREIGN News AND The TEIEeRAru.-Itis
a remarkable fact, that from the time when the
associated press of this city first entered into an
arrangement for receiving the foreign by each
arrival from Halifax, distance of nearly thou

disappointed in single instance nor has there
been single instance in which an important mis-

the progressive enterprise of the age.
