CHAHGE OF MAIL AEE AN CEMENTS. W* understand that the Fust offices Department has gives orders to have the mail carried between this place and Philadel |>hia opened at Hay's Landing, on each of its trips. This is as it should be, as a matter of ponvenieoca to tffe people of this ami Atlantic coMHeE^'Jleretofore, any mail mailer sent from here to -Mar’s Landing bad to pans'by that place on the upward trip, go to Philadelphia and return in the May's Lending mail the nexl day ; and any mailer sent from Mays Landing to this county had first to go to Phildelpkia, and return, directly by the place from which it started, the next day, in the Cape May mail; thus taking, at least, four day* to send a letter from one place to other, usd get an answer. All this arose from the fact that the May's Landing msil, and the mail to Cape May were separate and distinct from each other, and, by the contract few c frying the mail to Capo May, raid mail was not required to be opened at Mays Lending. We understand that after the expiration of the present contracts two ore to be united intone, as it ought to be.

Tbs beneficial effect of railroads upon landed property is no longef's question if doubt. The iron horse travels through a wilderness, and by the magic of his preseoce it soon becomes a region of forma.

Banque AsnoRR.—TIm barque Mary H. Kendall, CapL Wm. Shsnklan, owned by D. W- Prestcott, of Philadelphia, went ashore at tbe Cold Spring inlet, sbont three miles from this place, on Wednesday night of last week. 8he had a cargo of sugar and molasses from the West Indies, bound to i’hilad'a. The cargo was sured in New York, and «he vessel in Phil-

adelphi

mistook the Cape May light, for the Phconix Island light, farther south, which was tbe occasion of the barque being rna ashore, ere they were aware that they were

near lapd.

They stove in the beads of molasses casks ou deck, with a view of lighting the vessel so ns to get her off; bat she at last sprung eleak, so that there appears to be no prcwpect of saving the vessel. On Monday it was intended either to pnl some of her cargo on board of small vessels or land it if possible.
