STILL LATER FROM EUROPE.--THIRD ENGLISH MAIL FOR MAY.

The frequency and rapidity which now-a-days charac- terize the communication between the Old World and the New, no longer renders the arrival of an English Mail an event of such paramount importance as it was considered in those days when there was but one Packet in the month; or, still further back, when a period of three months not unfrequently elapsed before an English Newspaper reached our ice-bound shores. Who is there that does not remember the enthusiasm whick brightened many an eye—the anxieties, the hopes and fears which swelled many a breast, when the intelligence was duly heralded on the Post Office window that “ an Inglisk Mail had just arnved!” The rough blasts of old Winter, let them be ever so rough and keen, could not dispel the anxious crowd which besieged the Post Office until the commor curiosity would be gratified by the distribution of the various papers and letters. ‘‘ What’s the news from England :” was the only ques- tion to which most people seemed ready to give utter- ance. “Has Trade improved or grown dull? Have there been any changes in the Ministry ?—any distur- bances in Ireland? any wars or rumours of wars upon the Continent? Has Louis Phillippe been shot at? Have any “infernal machines” been invented in Paris ? Has the Duke of Wellington made 2 speech in the House of Lords? Has Sir Robert Peel triumphed over the Whigs,or the Whigs over Sir Robert Peel 2” These or similar ones were the common enquiries of the time, which lasted not merely for an hour, or a day, ora week, but very generally until we turned from our blankets on
