some of them were behindhand on account OF
the delays incident to the suspension of travel.
An accident occurred to an Eastern Railroad
train at Rowley, running off the track owing

yesterday, the Postmaster informs us that the
alteration was made without any previous no.
tice to the Office .- Incidentally it become
known in the Post Office abant 10 o'clock
last Monday forenoon.
The change consists in OBTAINING the mail
which formerly left Boston by the first accom-
mediation train at 7,3O, until the departure of
the Pullman express fro2 the south at8 90
Although the delay amounts to an hour in
starting, it is reduced to only twenty mnutes
difference in the time of arrival, the mail being
due at this Post Office under the new ystem at
1850 instead of II 80 as hitherto; so that cili-
zens will receive their letters now at one D. NJ,
instead of 70 40. unless the train is delayed.
This loss OF twenty minutes at noon i. doubt
less an objection. but not wholly without its
redeeming feature, which is, that hereafter, we
shall dlaoays rec i've our through mail from
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington, before dinner, whereas hitherto
