BURxrSa OF A MAIL CAR.-the Cleveland Plain
dealer gives the following particulars of the recent
loss of portion of the eastern Mail, while on its
way westward, by the burning of a car which &C.
cidentally took fire between Cleveland and Cincin-
natl:
"The car on which the late mail vas burnt was
a common freight car, open only at the sides
When it was found TO be on fire, 1t being IN the
night and the train in rapid motion, there was no
way to communicate the fact 10 the conductor or
the engineer except by the cry Of "hre," and the
noise of the cars and machinery in this case ZEN
dered that mode Intellectual. For miles the train
sped on its freTy way amid the solitude and dark
ness of night, until the flames bursting OUT lit up
the scene around, and the discovery was made by
The brakeman. II did not want but few minutes
with a FIRE kindled in such combustibles, (there
were several sacks of feathers in the car, famed
by such breeze as the speed OF the tram would
naturally make, to ignite the whole contents 10
glowing heat. When the car was finally stopped
the flames from the burning car was some twenty
feet high lighting up the country for miles around.
The flames occupied the side apertureS, and there
was no ingreSs except through the ends, which
were battered in as soon as they could oe' ana

worth repairing. 0ftheir contents, some eight or
ten bushels of the burnt remnants have been
saved, and now await, in the Cleveland post Office
the orders of the Department. 1t is most of it due
at Cincinnati, Louisville, st. Louis and other
southern offices. 1t came mostly from new YORK

sy with Arrangements to that end. He had receive
ed many kind attentions from members of the Brit
ish Ministry, and more especially from Lord FaIm-
eIston, between whom and himself an intimacy
had sprung up, which can hardly fail to iaclIlate
his official labors.
