Gilpins News Rooms in Wall street, were
crowded 10 excess at early hour yesterday
morning, with merchants, loafers, brokers, PICK
pockets, clerks and gentlemen, with their hats
and hands filed with letters and parcels to go by the
steamers. Their anxiety was So great to get their
letters into the bags, they pushed, crowded and
squeezed to such extent, as almostto prevent Mr
Gilpin and his assistants, from attending to their
business The cheualiers dindustrie kindly relieved
three gentlemen of their pocket books during the
morning


As il is impossible to tell which will arrive in
England first the have sentduplicates, and
consequently, double the number OF letters will 60
out to-day than ever went before. 1t 10 estimated
that, BY the steamers and packet ships, upwards Of
eighteen thousand letters and parcels were des-
patched, from this city yesterday.


1t was amusing TO watch the different Persens who
vent 10 Gilpin's with letters. They were perfect
eopslomoraiion and spoke all the living languages,
and had n. NJ. Noah been there, all the dead Ian
guagss would have also been spoken


There was such rush and pressing forward, that
nany handed their letters to these who were in


better position, with directions to get them into the
bags IN some way no matter how, but to get them in
One gentleman had two single letters, which would
have cost him oaly fifty cents postage but he passed



and tsld him he might keep the balance, II he would
get them into the bags Of the British Queen.


Every chair, aud bench, and table, were occupied
With persons aiting their turn which we are afraid
never came with their letters stuffed in their pockets
Many wore the very picture Of dependency and as
tonishnent With their mouths and eyes wide open
they stared and looked upon their chance utterly
hopeless.


Ito o'clock, we went down with our budgets Of
letters, and after pushing and elbowing for half an
hour, we gave up il despair, and were compelled to
get into William street soon possible, to pre-
vent sufocation.


After recovering, we went down to Messrs. Wads
worth and Smith, and by dnt Of labor we succeeded
in getting one parcel into the bags Of the British
Queen Thence we proceeded over to Mr.. Richard
Twins with the rest Of letters for the Great
Western. They were all news documents, and we
never paid postage the like description Of letters
We passed them into the window, with the word
that they were frsm the " Herald" Office. There
is dollar and fifty cents TO pay for these" said the
clerk 10 us. "Oh no, our news letters always go
free. There 10 Captain Hoskens, will you please
ask him about theml" Captain Hoskens looked over
them and asked from whom they came. When told,
he said "CertAialy, they 60 free all letters and
packages from the Herald Office 60 free in the Great
Western I'll take them with pleasure" We
left Mr. Twins very much pleased with Captain Hos
kens, and thus ended hour and ffty miautes, by
the City Hall clock, occupied in despatching one
budget OF letters by the steam ships.
