WILLIAM f. DENEALE AcQUITTED.-ln the
Circuit Court of this city, yesterday, before
the defence had concluded their evidence, the
Attorney for the Commonwealth frankly sta
ted to the Court, that the evidence against
William f.. Dcneale, charged with stealing
SllO0 from Robert G.. Brooks, was not
sufficiently strong to convict him, and there
fore felt bound. as a sworn officer, to bring
in a verdict of not guilty. The Judge acqui-
%escing, the jury rendered Il verdict of not
guiltv, and the prisoner was thereupon dis
charged. and returned to the bosom of Il doat-
ting mother, whose heart has already bleed
freely at the thought of the perils which sur
rounded her only child. For the sake of that
mother, as we'll as for his relatives and friends
generally, we trust he may 50 conduct him
self in future as to permanently heal the
wounds which his past heedlessness has
caused.-RicA. DiSp.

Tho DELAY in the New Orleans Mail.

Many complaints of yexatiOus delays IN
the transmission of the mails from New Or
leans to the North having been made to the
General Post Office, a special agent of the
Department was instructed, some time since,
tn inquire into the matter and report to the
Department the extent of the evil and its
cause.
The Department are now in receipt OF the
report of the special agent. The letter
pouches come though according to schedule
time, except in those cases where the mail IL
DELAYED by those failures to connect incident
to all great routes of transportation. In
reference to the mail pouches OF newspapers,
&C., the agent says:
81 am satisfied from my investigation that
the cause of the delay offrom one to three days
has grown either out of neglect on the part
of the different presses in New Orleans to mail
their papers in time Tor the mornings mail,
which leaves at : o'clock. or carelessness Oh
the part ofthe clerks in the New Orleans OF
fee to distribute the papers after they are
brought to the Office. | an inclined to the
latter opinion, for the reason | have intercept
ed and o~yerhauled several paper sacks made
up at that Office for Nashville, Tennessee, aud
would find as many as three consecutive dates
in the same bag"
1t has been charged, and is believed, that
a portion at least OF the delay has been owing
To neglect OH the stage route which fills up
the gap in the unfinished portion Of the Mis-
sissippi Central road, between Duvant aud
Cofeeville, Mississippi. The special agent
has travelled over this portion nj the route
three several times. and has sp red Ii" pains
in making a strict investigation, but has been
unable to fix upon any point at which delay
takes place, except as to such delays as are
known to occur from failures To connect.
