Up to the 1st of Januury last the Cuvard and Inma lacs of ocean steamers were under contract with the Unoer the arrangement made, pool on Thursday stopped the next day at Queenstown and tovk on bourd tho mail bags sent from London the evening previons on ‘the {ast mail train by way of Hollyhead, thus allowing merchants and bankers several hours to make up their correspondence alter the time of sailing trom Liver- pook As the hour of departure from Liverpool is gov- eroed by the tide the delay at Queenstown in waiting forthe maths the following day varies from five to eight hours and usually adds a day to qho time required to make the passage across the ocean, The steamship companies were paid £150 for every time they culled at Queenstown, undor the contract, but since it ex- pired the government has, as a matter of cconomy, adopted the American system of paying only the Occan postage on the amount of mail matter taken on Doard, By this new arrangement the steamers stop- Ping at Queenstown receive for the service a gum vary- ing from $500 to $700, which they cousider entirely imadequate, {0 consequence the ateamers of the Juman and Waite Star lines (tio latver acting in the service of the former) bave declined to act as carriers, and the result 1s great annoyance and logs to importers jn this country occasioned by delay in receipt of their correspondence. THR CAUSK OF THK TROUBLE, Mr. John G, Dale, agent of tho Inman line, made the foliowing statement regarding the matter to a HzxaLp reporter yesterday. ‘heir company had received tre- quent compluiuts from importers stating that the ; Ireight brought over by tfer steamers olten arrived two or more days ahead of the twa:ls coutaming the in- voices aud other papers necessary to pass the goods through the Custom House, and that consequently they were not onty kept waiting, bat put to the ex- | pense of cartage und sturage in the public warehouses ot their goods in the Interim. in Liverpuoi have protested strongly against havin thoir iwvoiwes sent by the slow steomers. For stance, the steamer which sailed fron: the other side onthe Sth inst. arrived hero on the 13th, while the bills of lading aud invoices of her cargo, which cume by the steamer carrying the malls, did not arrive antil Saturday, the six o'clock im the evening, and consequently Were not delivered until Monday, the 2st, a delay of more than aweck, I'bo goods bad m hile been seut to the general order store at the expense of the consigneee, because they did not have the papers to pass them through the Custom Hous The steamer which lett tho other side on the 11th arrived here on the 22d, while the mails Containing tho papers relating to her cargo did not arrive until the 24th, 80 that the importers were again compelled to wait two days for their goods anu were burdened with the expense of storage. Aguin, the steamer which sailed jor ihis port on the 19th arrived on the 28th, aud tho consignees are still awaiting the arrival of the matis with the papers necessary to obtatn their goods, The loss occasioned by this condition of affairs 1s not alone the expense of delay in their denvery. WHKRE TAK FAULT LBA We are uot to blume ip the matter, as we are per- fectiy willing to carry the mails while we can do so without loss to ourselves, The British government bad adopted the American plan in an incomplete form, which subjects its mail carriers to great delxy and in- convenience, While tue New York Post Ottice author- ities close their mails for Europe in accordance with the sailing schedule furnished by the steamsbip com- panies, the English officials set up an inflexible sched- ule, having no regard tor time or tide, and require the carriers to contorin to lt. In thi way tho steamers are irequently compelled to lie af Queenstown trom five to eight hours Jor the arrival of the mail train, and thus perbaps be delayed a whole duy in thoir voyae across through missing a tide. “Now,’? continueds Bir. Dale, wo have four or five hundred passengers on board, you can easily imagiwe that during a delay of that kind it would cost as much to feed them as the government now pays for the mail service. We usually make a stay of only twenty wngers when we bave no mails to nts are iulormed by telegraph uf our coming and send out the passengers and their luggage on a tugboat to meet us.

It is a ‘penny wise, pound foolish’ ar- Tangement by which the British government is ate tempting to coerce the steamship companies into call- ing at Queeustown,”” ST. MARK'S LITERARY UNION. The chapel of St. Mark's church, om Stuyvesant place, was well filled last evening, on the occasion of the regular weekly meeting of St. Mark's Literary Union, The Rev, Dr. J. H. Rylance, who presided, in- troduced the Rev. Dr, John Cotton Smith as the lec- turer of the evening. The reverend Doctor's subject was “The Providential Preparations of the Republic.” Beginnivg with the destruction of the Roman Empire by the northern tribes and the introduction of Coristianity, the lecturer traced the course of {reeaom, religious and civil, to the present time, alluding by. the to the Engliah puritan settlers of New England, Dateh of New York and the cavalier of Virginia. He then considered the physical characteristics of this country, the concurrence of circumstances that brought the entire country under the dominion of the | Anglo-Saxon poe iee discovery of the Gul! stream, the discovery ot gOld und coal, the immigration {rom Europe in tho sixteesth century, the mechanical in- ventions of this and the last century, and the irresisti- bie tendency of the nations toward a democratic form of government; all of which he declared showed the superiptending ‘providence which cared for our land. ‘The lecturer concluded with an eloquent peroration respecting the duty of citizens in the present political | excitement. THE “BROKERS'” PRAYER MEETING. The Methodist church in John street was well filled yesterday afternoon by an audience, in which there were a number of Jadies. The services, which were ted by the Rev. Wayland Hoyt, of the Strong place Baptist church, Brooklyn, were conducted in the auditorium of the church, Tbe Rev, Mr. Roach, of the Metho- dist Episcopal chareh, made « fervent prayer in be- halt of the business men of the metropolis, whom, he hoped, would not torget Jesus aiid the affluence that commerce brings.

Ip bis testimony, yesterday, Hand averred that the market value of the dismonds stolen was not moi than $15,000, and yet, by the quiet, undulating curront of shrewdness, be calculated to sweep in a mortgage of $20,000 on tho said collateral, This was to be effected by McCarihy, who was to receive for his ser- viecs $1,000, The lame lawyer, who hobbled about the New York Hotel, was to got $500 for bis labor in the prem To this simple arrangemont Hat could forsee neither objection nor obstacle. McC: carthy wus in dead earnest, and tho lame lawyer metaphorically threw away hig cratchos in manifestation of his zeal and er ity, But there were strange thoughts passing through the mind of the legal gentleman with the er- ratic leg—thoughts calculated to upset all prior ar- ravgements, With a cool cunning he devised 9 fiendish plan for getting the fee simple of the costly baubles, Whether the prisoner McCarthy was a party to this or not cannot, as yet, 6o far as the evidence adduced 48 concerned, be stated. Hand says emphatically that he was in the plot, and suspicion is strong ugainat him. The diamonds, however, are gone, and Hand is diseon- solate. THY BXAMINATION. Atthe Tombs Police Court yesterday the examina- tion was continued before Judge Kilbreth, plainan mm took the stand and meekly withstood the cross-exumination of ex-Judge Curtis, He repeated in detatl t arious interviews between the prisoner und Dimself and admitted that a Mr, De Wolf, Passen- He had no hesitation in trusting the prisoner with the diamonds, never fora moment sus- pecting his honesty.

Jobn Morse, cab driver, took the stand and swore that on the morning of tlie robbery he was engaged by McCarthy andalume mau. They drove to soveral | poe among others being Earie’s Hotel and No. 20 | Zast Thirteenth street, At the latter place McCarthy and the lame man got out, and alter remaining a short | time in the houso returned carrying a small bag. Coming down town again McCarthy got out at Frank- lin street. The lame man subsequently alighted, but soon alterward returned and was driventothe Bel- mont Hotel, He was told by the. Jame man to let no | one enter his carriage uotil they returned, He obeyed. ‘The examination was at this point adjourned until afternoon, On reassembling Hand again took the stand, and, in answer to questions by ex-Judge Curtis, ed that the mustangs which he intended to pur- je for his and McUarthy’s joint enterprise would ce $6,000, He udimitted tuat he boped through McUarthy’s aid to raise as a loan onthe diamonds more than they were aciually worth in a good market, After a short examination of Captain Murray, who made the arrest, and John Judd, the cab driver, the case was adjourned until this morning, at ten o'clock, THE OWNER OF THK DIAMONDS, The actual loser by the theft of the diamonds would appear to be Mrs. Lynch, who keeps the old diamond establishment on Broadway, in the New York Hotel building. She represents the jewelry as worth from 10,000 to $15,000, and thinks that the logs will poy, fall upon her, Mr. Hand has been well nown ‘o her for sevoral ycars and has otten bought large amount of jewels and other valuavics, sometimes paying cash for them and sometimes obdtai ing the goods upon credit. He has always | been scrupulously bonorable in these trons- action! and she therefore entered into the Jate arrangement with him without any misgivings. He received the diatnonds at a nominal estimate of $5,600, and was to dispose of them tothe best ad’ tage and allow her a percentage on his profit or com- mission. Since the jewelry wus coufided to bim she bus not known of bis negotiations, and was first ap: prised of the loss by the morning papers, She appears to bear the loas with considerable equanimity, and says that ber previous losses in similar ways buvo been | 80 considerable that the present cag dots not afiect her especially. ‘THE PRISONER, COLONEL M’CARTHY.

Reynolds testiticd that when he drew ap the will the deceased expressed a wisi to bo burled in the grave of ner former husband at Green- wood, Surrogate Livingston stated that, as the hus- band hadan interest in the personal property, be should bo made a party to the proceedings. It 1s alleged that efforts will be made to show that the deceased was not married to Osbora, but lived with him for some time and then left him, repenting of her misdoeds. The contestant holds that according to the of 1860 no charitablo institution can accept more than one-half of the entire property lett by the deceased. RAISING THE WIND.

THE MACHINERY FOR HELPING THE POOR— BT. JOHN'S GUILD—TEB CB IT PAYS FOR COAL—OTHEB SOCIETIES, ‘The spring-like weather we have had for the past few days relieves poverty of some ofits very darkest shaden; at least of those which strike the ordinary eye assome of the hardest to be borne. No doubt frost and rain and damp suggest the miseries to which the poor are subjected and heighten a picture that at all times must have desolate traits, But the real sting of the distress lies not in the poor being cold, but in the poor being hungry, and. therefore, though the genial sky might lessen the hardships the puor have to suffer, it could not supply the life-giving nourishment which ig wanted nor restore contentment to poor wanderers in the streets who are hopeless of getting work. At the Washington Market and Fulton Market soup kitchens, yesterday, the numbers of those who were bungry and availing themselves of this only chance to get something to eat were undiminished, and the same respectable class of peoplo as might have been noticed on cold und bleak days were there, still dependent upon this generous donation of the market people for a warm meal. Women and children, a8 usual, es- pecially at Fulton Market, sought the relief with the same quiet patience as did the men, keeping their places in the long liue that extended down the side- walk from the kitchen door, ST, JOUN’S GUILD. Tho affairs at St, Jobn’s Guild do not seem to pro- gress as favorably as might bo expected. Yesterday was another dull day in the pleasant pariors on Four- teenth street, Late on Monday evening a donation of $100 was received, and this, with about $200 received up to two o'clock yesterday alternoon, were the total receipts trom ral sources. Yesterday, however, the several browing establishments in the city were to make @ united subscription to the Guild, amounting to the needed $1,000 ior a sige day’s disbursements, and it was understood that Wail street and the Produce Ex. change will exch make a contribution of $1,000 before the week closes, But these ure special subscriptior and not what tho Guild can fairly rely upon to carry ou its operutions. Hitherto the mon poured in trom the charitable all over the city pontancous git, and it would now seem as if those united efforts of ail street apd the Produce Exchange were the inst hopes of acontinuance of contributions ona scale necessary to sustain the institution, In speaking with Mr, Wiswall yesterday as to tho present status of the Guild, tne roporter was informed thut the load the organization was was too great for the Last year, Mr. wall said, $57,000 in money donations, groceries to tho value of $10,000 and garmonis to the value of $15,000, This winler the receipts in money, groceries and garments were about the game ug in 1876. But last winter the pumber of dependent tamilies was only 5,000, while this winter, owing to the yeneral distress among the working classes, the number was swelled to 7,000, and there were 2,000 more on the booxs that wore yet unvisited and could not be tor want of funds, It was increaso in the numbers of the poor, said Mr. ud the disproportion in the daily receipts, thatthe present iuoporative condition uf the Guild was due. In reference to tbe price paid for coal by the Guild Mr, Wiswali desires the publication of the following :— MR. WISWALL'S CARD, To tue Epitor or tus Hers — Ino ive in the Henatp of this morning s communication “R. P. K.," in relation to the price which St. John's d pays fur the coal supplied by it to the poor.
