performance of the triumphal rites is natural amphi-
theater in shape, and Of such vast dimensiOns that

have special gate of entrance and egress, so that

the Get to between Heenan and Ed yard f. Price, the
conqueror of Australian Kelly. As Mr. Price is q man

After this part of the exhibition is concluded the pecu-
mary results Of the Heenan Fund will be presented
to the Champion with appropriate speech by gen.

City DELIVERY OF LETTERs-SHAYErUL MTsMAY-
AGEMEST.-0n Saturday last note addressed to
person in THE TRIBUNE Office was deposited in Of
the United States mail boxes in the vicinity of Sixth
avenue and Fortieh street, appointing business in
terview for Monday. The communication, however,
failed to reach its destination until about o'clock on
Tuesday afternoon in consequence of which great in
convenience was occasoned to the parties concerned.
This we believe, is fair specimen of the manner in
which the city delivery Of letters is conducted. 1t is
not very surprising under these circumstances, that
Mr. Boy and others succeeded well with their pri-
yae city dispatch posts. Telegraph companies are held
responsible for any culpable negligence the part of
their employees; why should not the United States
Post Office Depart nent be held equally responsible for
any loss that may be sustained through the cupabe
negligence Of its subordinates?
The New POSTAGE STAMPs.-The thirty.cent post
age stamps recently ordered by the Government are
now on sale at tie PostOee. The ninetycent stamps
Will be ready in a few days
YAcHrING.-The yachts Of the New-York squadron
rendezyoused yesterday at Whitestone, near Glen
Cove. This morning they start upon their annual
cruise away down East.
The City Post-Oflice cannot be too highly COM
mended for its energy and promptness. Last Thursday
night, Auguat ., intrusted to its charge letter
containirga valuable Enclosure addressed to gentle
man in Grand street, near Broadway. This letter
finally reached it's destination yesterday at q o'clock
The distance between the PosOfice at the corner Of
Liberty and Nassau Streets and the corner of Broad
way and Grand street, was thus accomplished by the
active carriers of our excellent Uncle Samuel in about
10 hours and 80 minutes. Evidently the Post-OHice
is an institution that ought to be encouraged.
