med by the Post Master here, SAYS the New
York Journal of Commerce, that the per.
son whose duty il is To- bring the mails to
the New York Post Office, states that be
found the mail bags laying on The deck Of
the boat, the officer in whose room they
were usually placed for safeguard, having
retired TO his berth and left them on The
deck, instead of retaining them in his room,
and delivering them TO the post Office pcr.
ter when the boat arrived.


The boat reached New York al o'clock
in the morning The mail must have been
taken of in the interval between ihe land
ing and the arrival Of the porter from the
Office How accurate this statement may
turn out 10 be, we cannotfell, but as it stands,
it throws the responsibility for this affair
upon the management of the other end Of
\ the route.
