called her aside into tho ycstry room, and
in the presence of the rector, with whom
she was well acquainted, thus addressed
her, MADAM, do not wish TO offend Won

convinced beyond the power to controycr, il
that they were the property Of this Southern

DAILY PosT TO ENGLAND.-1t would
appear, the cable across The Gulf Of ST..
Lawrence having been repaired and re-
LAID, that our communication with the
Old World, by means Of The Allantt
Telegraph, will be certain, consfol. an@
rapid, in future We have to add
that it Is the intention Of the British
Government to establish, if possible, a
daily post with this country--tEat is, to
SEND swift mail steamer from Liver
pool every day in the week, by which
letters and newspapers will be conveyed.
In order to make this real boon to the
public, the postage, which is now twenty
four cents for each letter weighing less
than half an ounce, will be reduced to at
least half that amount. This, however,
will probably require the Joint action Of
The United States Congress >-.Phiia1ci.
