By the Express Mail. We have dates from New Orleans to the 7th of July. Signora Pantanelli was to have a benefit on the evening of the 7th. The papers are filled with puffs for the occasion. The Mobile papers are blowing up the Whigs for turning Bentonians. Samuel W. Oliver, of Conecuh, has been nominated for Governor of Alabama, as the reform and relief candidate. A. P. Bagby is the anti-bank candidate. He is a convert. BENNETT AND HIS HERALD.-Bennett has almost as many different characters (in report) as he has whims and ideas, (and of the latter he has more than any other man in the great city of Gotham.) He is highly educated, and as enterprising as he is learned and amusing. He now publishes no less than four papers, like Gen. Jackson, taking the sole responsibility' on himself. He publishes the Morning Herald and Evening Chronicle, the weekly Herald and the Weekly Chronicle. The latter is, without exception, the ablest, hanisemest, most amusing, and edifying paper in the United States.-Mobile Exam. MOBILE, July 8.-Money Market.-Nothing has transpired worthy of notice in our market during the last three days. The ever memorable Fourth was celebrated with becoming spirit, which has been duly noticed in the Examiner. There was one or two errors in our report of Tuesday, which should be corrected. We should have stated that a strictly good article of cotton would bring 11 cents. We stated also that many would not avail themselves of the bank system. It should be the bond system. Again, in speaking of the laws passed by the legislature, in reference to the banks, we stated that they were allowed to suspend specie payments until 1840. The Bank of Mobile and the Merchants' and Planters' only were included in the law, and that, too, by complying with certain conditions. The State Banks and its branches may suspend till doomsday, for aught we can tell. The relief law itself, as it is called, is most bunglingly drawn up, and some parts much mystified. We could draft a better one ourselves. We regard the bond system as a complete juggle, and happy is the man that does not meddle with it. Whoever shall be caught in its meshes will find himself completely used up. What person would buy real estate or any other property when he finds that the banks hold a mortgage on the same for double its value? Not one.-Ib. Mr. James E.

D The Boston Times is out on grand juries, for finding bills of indictment, which prove upon trial to have been without good and sufficient cause. We shall cogitate little on this, some day. p How comesit that the agent of the Wilsons & Co. of London, said he had no intelligence of their failure of the Oxford, and yet they have made an assignment of their effects here? Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, has written a letter, stating that he is a temperate and sober man in eating and drinking. We are glad to bear it, and wish he would regulate his tongue on the same principles. Dr The weather thus far has been uncommonly cold in the south of France, and large crops of fruit destroyed in consequence. The oil crop in particular is expected to be short. A RECOMMENDATION-"Patrick do you know how to drive a Phayton? Sure, I do, your honor. Was'nt it I that turned you over two years ago?" I A man at East Boston made a desperate attempt to furnish the worms with a banquet, and make his wife a widow, by cutting his throat. Not sucf ceeding to his wish, he then tried to drown himself. The papers have been blowing up the omnih busses for years, and they are worse than ever. We t shall puff them and try the effect of that. a What's the matter with Commodors Elliott D again He does nothing but agree to disagree with e his brother officers. s Dr How the Hickory leaves are falling!
