since, the ST. Louis mail from this city, containing
remittances of money, swas not received in st.
Louis The mail bag was received, on that day,
ing Observed and OF course, the loss of the pack
age of letters was involved in mystery. The mail
bag received from st. Louis, yesterday, unravels
the mystery. On examining the chain Of the bag,
it was found that ofthe links had been pounded
of at the end, and then tapped and pounded to-
gether again as if welded. Several remittances of
money from this city, on that day, have not been
received in st. Louis, and il is evident the bag
was opened, in the manner above indicated, be-
tween this and ST. Louis.

DIscouRAeISG TO SHIP OwNERs.-We clip the
following from the New Orleans Bulletin of the
29th ultimo
"Never, in the memory Of 'thc oldest inhabi-
tant,' have freighs been so low in New Orleans as
at the present moment. They no longer talk of 80
much per pound to Liverpool, but only much per
bale, and, during the last week, some thousands of
bales have been taken for that port dollar each;
and, on Saturday, we heard of a shipper who Of
fered the liberal freight of seventy-fv cents per
bale. We shall be prepared to hear that shippers
viii only give vessels the privilege of taking the
cotton freight free, condition that the ships pay
the drayage.
"Week before last we told by an extensive
ship broker, that there was not one american
sci at the Levee with a single bale Of cotton on
board, for Liverpool, as the vessels which were
loading with the article for that port were excu-
sively foreign ones. We presume this is unpre-
cedented fact. Even at this time there are only
three four American vessels that had previously
been nearly loaded with provisions or other heavy
freight, which filling up with cotton at the
above very low rate. Some Of the British vessels,
we learn, have cleared for other ports in ballast"
