We learn that the Postmaster General has lately
arranged (he departure of the eastern mail from Cin

that we shall receive papers and letters one weec earlier than formerly. Our mail now brings one

think is fn quently applied wrong: for it is no
uncommon thing to receive at this place, papers and
letters from the eastward by the way of Lexington
Louisville, &c. which might be at their destination
in half the time it takes by that route. Who would call these newspapers? no one who understands the Cleaning of the word new or news. The term old pa

Our last papers contain no foreign intelligence of
any interest, except the rise in the price of cotton, domestics &c. in the European markets. The former appears to have experienced a considerable ad-
Tance in England, which has caused a great deal of
speculation in our mercantile citie3 within a short time. There are some who suspect that matters an't just as they are represented, and that the east em folks are playing what gamblers call "thr. e pluck one;" that i9, they are playing into one another's hands We copy the following from the National Crisis of the 2d inst., which will give our readers some idea how things are going, and what may be the probable result. Jlt is amusing to notice the breathless baste with which many of the commercial articles in the late eastern papers, have been penned by editors and speculating scribblers.
