THE BuRDELL EsTATE.-The New York
Times has the following in relation to the
Burdell Estate. The relations Of DIR. Bur-
dell are making great exertions to prevent
the property falling into the hands of Mrs.
Cunningham:
son Thursday, Mrs. Canningham's coun-
sci in the case of the Burdell estate were
served with notice that a motion would be
made in behalf OF the relatives of DIR. Bur
dell to take out a commission to examine q
siding in California. Mr.. Edwards, in his
affidavit, sets forth the facts which he ex
poets to prove by Mr.. Hyde, viz: That Mr..
Hyde had been engaged since 1896 to be mar
ned TO Mrs. Cunning nam, and that she had
kept up a correspondence with him favorable
10 that end up to the 10th of December last,
some six weeks after the date of the alleged
marriage. Mr.. Edwards swears that his in
formation is derived from the personal
friends Of Mr.. Hyde. All these statements,
we are informed, are denied by Mrs. Cum
7 ningham. Her counsel seem confident that
/, the motion will not prevail, and express the
hope that the case will 90 on before the Sur
roeate as usual, and be finished without de-
lay. A letter, we are told, has been received
from party not directly connected with the
litigation now pending, in which it is alleged
that DIR. Burdell was married to person
two years before, and who is still living

- The New Orleans and jackson raj

- The New Orleans and Jackson rail-
road is making very successful progress
BY February next it will be completed to
Jackson, Mississippi, when the time to
Vicksburg from New Orleans, will be only
twelve or thirteen hours, instead of sixty or
seventy, as now by the river. In another
year it will intersect the Memphis and Char
lesion road, and with the Mobile Ohio road
and thus gain connection with the series of
roads running North, to Memphis, Cairo Pa
ducah. and East to Nashville, Chattanooga
and Knoxville and thence to all she Atlantic
cities North and South. Last week 5000, 900
of the bonds of the road were negotiated in
New Orleans on very reasonable terms, the
President, James Robb, taking for himself
$780, 900. The prosperity of the cotton in
terest for the last few years has accumulated
such an amount of Surplus capital in theSouth
that she has little need to go abroad to sell
her internal improvement bonds if her citi-
zens can once be inspired with confidence in
their own undertakings. There is now more
unemployed money in the South than in any
other section of the country.

ENGLISH POSTAL SERvIcE.-The admira-
BILE efficiency of the English Postoffice De-
partment is accounted for by the fact, that all
the appointments are made after a rigid ex-
examination by Board of Commissioners,
and promotion takes place according to mer-
1t. Nearly all grades of officers seem to be
appointed for life, unless discharged for in
competency or misconduct. All the officers
have one month holiday during the year, and
some of the employees in the London Office
half day Saturday. AT the end of fifteen,
twenty OF thirty years, officers can retire on a
pension for life, varying from one-third to
two-thsrds of the salary received at the close
of service. Letter carriers in the large cit
les have their suits of clothing (uniform)
furnished them by the government; and in
consequence of all these privileges and i'm
munities, the salaries paid are generally low
or than with us, and no doubt there is, as a
general rule, more faithfulness and honesty,
removed as each person is from political pro-
scription.

Female Seminary.

The Methodist Conference which has gain
ed so much honor for its church, and be-
slowed so many benefits upon the State, by
the numerous valuable institutions of learn
ing that have grown up in Indiana, under
its patronage and fostering care, propose if
sufficient encouragement be given by our cit
liens, to establish female seminary here,
upon the plan of the excellent school sus
tanned by the influence of the church az
New Albany, and which now ranks among
the best seminaries in the Western country.
The proposal will-we do not doubt-be gen
erously accepted by our citizens. The offer
will afford some public spirited gentleman,
al opportunity of doing q generous act and
causing his name to be remembered and re-
spected by giving them a suitable lot of
ground; and others, who are not burthened
with land, may gain record, for their names
in the same category of noble citizens, bv
contributing funds to erect the buildings
The conference will undertake to raise out
side of the city in free donations, as much rs
shall be collected within it.
Instead of conflicting with the interests of
other schools, the influences of such semi
nary in favor Of education-by making
more manifests its benefts-and the spirit of
emulation it would excite between the two
systems-would be altogether beneficial to Jour
free schools. Music, drawing, modern Ian
guages and artistical branches of education
which cannot be introduced into the Public
High Schools, will be one of the chief ac-
fractions of the Private Seminary, and render
it desirable supplement to our system of
public instruction. Su.h o school, too, is
needed here for the thorough education of
the children of the large population that i'm
mediately surround us, withous the city linn
its, who cannot participate in the benefits of
the city schools. They need a seminary of a
higher order than the common country
schools; and no where can so convenient q
common center be found for the acco-nmo-
dation of all, as in the city. Like the New
Albany school, too, it would draw large
support from abroad, and induce scholars
from the remotest South and Southwest to
seek its advantages, end make it an object to
attract strangers to our city. In pecuniary
view it would promote the interests Of the
city. and while it increased her attractions,
and conferred an honor on her name abroad
the seminary would exert an influence upon
the taste. the intellectual habits, and moral
sentiment of our own people that could not
be appreciated in dollars.

WEDNESDAY MORNING. MAY 81. 1857
Infection.

The attention of our city authorities, ought |
certainly to be given to providing some sort
OF an asylum, or hospital for persons who
may come among US with infectious diseases. |
The small pox is known to exist in s,ver raj |
localities on the Wabash and the Ohio, be- |
low US, with which we have intimate COM
mercial intercourse, and from which persons
unconsciously affected, may bring the dis
ease among US. Sick persons are daily
landed ut our wharf from steamers-often
with contagious diseases-who are permitted
to wander about the city, and become inmates
Of boarding houses, placing every person
whom they pass or come in contact, in dan
ger of infection. We have heard of two ca
ses Of infectious disease brought it to the city
last week, by destitute strangers-one landed
from 8 steamboat, another brought it uncon-
sciously from distance in the country; TIE
invalids managed to quarter themselves upon
families in compact part of the city, before
the disease was fully developed. When their
condition became known, it was found there
was no hospital, no refuge provided by the
city authorities for such unfortunates, and
they have been moved from place to place,
seeking any sort of shelter, without medical
attendance or care, making their own cases
desperate, and endangerins the lives of hun
dreds, brought unknowingly into dan
gerous contiguity to them. That we have
escaped general infection this far, is al
most miracle. Although the small pox is
ut distance, it exists in towns on the rivers
from which persons-who may be uncon-
sciously affected with it-daily land at the
wharf. Some precautionary measures should
be adopted to protect our citizens from its
;ntroduction-and above all, immediate steps
should be taken to provide u temporary hos
pital, or rest house. The safety of the city
and the interests of every citizen demand it.
II the fatal disease should once become
prevalent here, the country would be alarm
ed-trade would be interrupted, the city
would be avoided-our market supplies cut
off, and the city left in more deplorabl'
condition than at present for its bread
meats, and vegetables. a hundred thousant
dollars would not compensate the injur.
which an expenditure of 5000 or $500 coul,
prevent.

~" The Comptroller of New York city
has determined not to pay the salaries of the
old or new police till the constitutional rights
of the consending parties shall be settled by
the Supreme Court. He cannot, he says, as
sumo the risk of paying ont such large sums,
while the rights of those who would receive

get pay; and all will be compelled to wait
and take the chances of the suit to get COM
pensation for their services. This will abate
the anxiety to secure appointments for the
present.
