NEW ARRANGEMENTS,

We learn from that obIigng gentleman,
Capt. J. ID. Murphy, that after the 2Sth
inst, the Boat leaves Northumberland for
the Junction, at o'clock, in the evening,
and arrive at the latter place, at 5 o'clock
of next morning, where the passengers take
the cars and arrive at Philadelphia, at IL
O'Clock, A. M.
The Boat for Williamsport, leaves Nor
thumberand at u o'clock, p. NJ, and will
in no case await the arrival of the Potts
vile Stage.
The public will be happy 10 observe
that Captain Murphy has more regard for
their convenience than the Proprietors of
the boats, who on this occasion, and on
every previous change of hour, have failed
to give them notice. The arrangements
for public travel in this section, are as bad
as they can be.

Rcsolrcd, That from the several reports
made upon the subject, it is very evident
that This improvement possesses great advan-
ta9"s over all that have yet been made, or
are IN contemplation, connecting the Allan
tic cities with the great Lakes Of the North.
Ia puiu, of distance it is decidedly prrirra-
bic, placing Phladcl PIMA only l36 miles
from Erir, and Blltmorc ahou the same dis
tance, white from New lork 10 Dunkirk; the
shortest road OF the Empire State, from the
scahoard to the lakes, i, is 40 miles, ma
king difference in favor of this road Of 81
miles and as respects grades and facility Of
construction, il possesses great advantages,
no grade Oh ii exceeding 80 $40 feet, and
are iwo-rhirdS Of il not more than - feet per
mile, while the New York and Duukirk road
has many heavy grades aud high enbank-
menis. Nor should we lose sight of the al.
vanlagrs possessed by the harbor OF Erie,
the greatest OF which perhaps is that ii Is
open TO navigation earlier in the spring, and
later in the fall, Than those OF Dunkirk and
Buffalo

area dozen of the more splendid gambling pa
aces in New York-two hundred Of the next

degrees ofinfamy, the appalling number of sir
thousand houses devoted to this yice." - One
passage of the article referred to, says:
ssItis thus by no means a rare sight to wit
ness at these resorts, persons who pride them
selves on belonging to the highest circle Of So
ciety, well dressed gentlemen from the centre
of Upper Trendom, military and naval officers,
members of Congress, and other political func-
tonaries, professors and students of colleges,
members Of the so-called learned professions,
and individuals eminent both in position and in
mixed up in the indiscriminste ex-
scitement of the game, with members of the
CITY police, and other noted official characters,
whose visits at the faro table are as constant
and pnnctua as those of New England Pu-
ritanD the Church. These houses, accord
ingly.have little fear from the police Of the
city. They have perfectly good understand
ing with. the agents of justice. So far as
they aree concerned, the terrors of the law are
Of no molS account than the scare-crow in q

Marion, Esq, Third Assistant Postmaster
General, and all the officers we have named
operate under his especial direction. It j, to
him that communications il relation to the
dead letter office are addressed.
The dead letters containing no retaittuncas
are never read, and those containing enclo-
sures are looked into only so far as it Is acca3-
sary to obtain I proper clue to the proper own
crshp
The whole number of dead letters returned
to the department. we can only vaguely init
mate. Thus, in o1e quarter, the bulk Of open
cd letters cqual,el about G0O0, cralnrned; each
bushel is supposed to co2tain 1000 letters
The number returned in quarter is Therefore
about six millions, Or twenty-four millions in
ayear.
Unclaimed moneys: less the discount, are
handed over to the general treasury, subject to
the demands OF Inc ltgA!luI owners boL We
believe that, for the halt tyear ending ,'u:c 23tl,
1850, the amouN. Of these WAS not more tLan
about $l7o0.
Drafts, deeds, and othcrparers Of value ans
also iewelry, memcntoes. etc, are preserved in
the dead letter office. These are often recovered
by their owncrs with much delight. In one
instance, not; great while since, gentleman,
for want Of certain documents believed to
have been lost from the mail, found himself in
the power of an unscrupu}ous person ina mat

WORTHY was involved. As q possible means
of obtaining the papers, he applied to the dead
letter office, and in about three minutes they
were produced. The package had been i'm
properly addressed.
Dead letters are usually unpaid letters.
The custom of prepayment has become vastly
more general since tae reduction Of postage
to five and ten cents In the fourth quarter Of
1850 the number Of dead letters received from
Cincinnati, not pre- paid was $500; the num-
ber prepaid, 1900. In the third quarter of
1850 the prepaid letters from the Bostonpost-
office numbered 1912; Of letters not prepaid,
94Ol. These instances are taken at random.
