Of all the great public departments among which the business of the State is divided, the Post Office is that, in the skilful, assiduous, and zealous conducting of which the public have the greatest, as well as the most direct and sensible interest. It is no exaggeration to say that evetty man in the country, from the highest to the lowest, is personally and deeply concerned in the minutest de tails appertaining to a department upon which are de pendent not the speed only, but the security of all the multifarious intercourse by letter between different parts of the kingdom to which business, friendship, and affec tion, every day give rise. Nor can the English Post Office be accused, with any semblance of justice, of a single defect in any of the qualities which ought to cha racterise such an institution, and which are essential to the full attainment of the important purposes it has in view. Of the interior arrangement of this Office it is not now our object to speak. It must, however, be said, to Ale honour of those who laid the first foundation of this establishment, and of those by whom in succession it has been gradually matured to its present high state of perfection, that it has never at any period been behind the intelligence or the wants of the age—that in the present age even, jealous, vigilant, inquisitive, and prone to discontent as we have become with respect to all public institutions, it has never excited the least discontent or suspicion ; and that its progressive improvements have not been forced upon its conductors in any instance by the clamorous voice of public dissatisfaction, but have always sprung spontaneously from their own ability and zeal. This is high praise, and praise which, we believe, the Post Office may appropriate to itself exclusively. The occasion which has led to these remarks is the perusal of some Reports ordered to be printed by the House of Commons during the last Session, and which have just fallen under our notice. They are the result of certain surveys of different lines of road, made by the direction of the Heads of the Post Office Department, with a view to ascertain to what extent, and at what cost, the distance may he shortened from point to point in different parts of the country. This inquiry is in teresting not only with respect to the conveyance of letters—the proper business of the Post Office—but as it promises results which must promote the .conveuieuce and advantages of all persons who travel for business or pleasure—a description which comprehends, with few exceptions, the whole of the middle and upper classes of society. In the year 1825 instructions were given to Mr. TEL FORD to examine the country between part of the county of Northampton and Lichfield, " in order to ascertain what improvements could be made in regard to shorten ing the distance and improving the inclinations, so as to accelerate the communication between London and liver pool, and also accommodate the local intercourse." Pursuant to these instructions, accurate surveys were taken under the direction of Mr. TELFORD, whose first report on the subject is dated June, 1826. The zurvey commenced at NVeedon, and went on to Lichfield ; from Weedon it appears that the present mail road passes through Daventry, Dunchurch, Coventry, Stonebridge, and Coleshill, to Lichfield, being a distance of 51 miles, 1,415 yards. Of the alterations and im provements for shortening the distance between those two points, Mr. TELFORD thus speaks in his Report:— " Front Weedon to Coventry, the general direction is unex ceptionable; and since Braunstone-hill has been Improved there is no serious obstacle in the way : and there is now a prospect of a farther important improvement at the town of Coventry, by which the present narrow-streets will he avoided ; but from Coventry the present road bends greatly to the westward to Stonebridge, and from thence turns nearly at a right angle to C.oleshill and Lich field ; this not only lengthens the line, bat between Stonebridge and Lichfield passes over a succession of very steep hills, and is besides in many parts unnecessarily crooked, so that any attempt at improving it would amount to making it an entirely new road. I have therefore wholly abandoned it. " By the map it will be seen, that between Coventry and Lich field a very direct line of road may be had, by passing by the vil lages of Shustoke, Nether Whitacre, Kingsbury, and Hints; and although the summit of the mass of high land at Corley-moor is elevated 245 feet above the level of Friars-green, at Coventry, yet all the inclinations may be rendered very easy, being only in two instances fur short distances, 1 in 27, 28 ; in every other cite they are as small as is con-istent with perfect road-making. The dis tance saved between Coventry and Lichfield by the new line would be three miles 666 yards. The length of new road to be made would be 24 miles 21 yards ; and the esimated expense is 50,6041. 15s. 4d. " But as Coventry lies four miles west of a straight line drawn between Weedon and Lichfield, it became necessary to examine whether a still more direct line ntight not be obtained by passing through Rugby, Nuneaton, Atherstone, and.Tamworth. A sur vey was accordingly made in this direction, and is laid down in the insp. The line leaves Weedon at the junction of the North. ampton road ; it passes for some distance along the Watling-street road, and upon leaving it passes in nearly a direct line by the vil lage of Hilmorton to the town of Rugby ; from this town it passes by the villages of Newbold, Stilton, and Attleborough to Nun eaton ; trum thence by the village of Mancetter and town of Atherstone, to Tamworth, and from that place along the present road to Lichfield. " This line is on the whole very direct, and the inclinations may be made quite easy ; very considerable portions of the present roads have been adopted, which, although they must be wholly re made, yet in sundry instances would save purchasing land and making fences. The distance between Weedon and Lichfield by this line is 46 miles 146 yards, being one mile 603 yards less than by the most improved Coventry line. The estimaird expense is 76.5921. " As the line is now laid down, it passes through the town of Tamworth, which requires about two miles and a quarter of new road south of that town, and also a new bridge over the river Anker ; but if the present road was followed to the town of Fazeley, and about one mile of new road made from that place to the hill at Hopwas, the general line would be shortened about '2OO yards ; advantage would he taken of the new, bridge which is about to be constructed over the river Thame at Fazeley, and the expence of making one over the Anker at Tamworth would be saved. The amount of expense would be about £4,2.15 Rs. RI being about A'3,473 17s. 3d. less than that through 1 . 311111V0/Th. " 4. Although this last mentioned line k the most direct, yet being most expensive. I was induced to have a survey made of the sewn of Rugby to the Holyhead road, at the village df Willoughby, and by travelling upon that road through the town of Daventry, to save eight miles and three quarters of road•making. The dis tance between Lichfield and Weedon, by this route, is 46 miles 1,36 447! 1,201 6,000 0 0 Total. 1 7499 12 0 5,917 18 1 11,640 18 8 15,459 5 1 • 84 19,949 4 7 1,207 1 80,544 ut. 1,563 14,559 5 11 1458 174,7 , 26 4 7 I " From the foregoing statement it appean that by the new lines, when compared with the present mall road, there would be saved in the distance Miles. Yard,. Between Weedon and Lichfield Between Lichfield and Liverpool ll In all l5 355 While, by getting rid of the bills and dillies, and malting the whole of the road surface hard and smooth, that travelling would be further bene6ued equal to one ball the above distance, or upwards of seven miles, in all 22 miles, which, in point of time, may be reckoned about two hours and a bait." If to the expense of the most direct road from Lid,- field to Liverpool by Runcorn, we add that of the slortes: and best route from Weedon to Lichfield, we shall havv the sum of 249,2481. 18e. 7d. or, in round number:, a quarter of a million sterling. The saving of 22 miles, of equal to two hours and a half in time, in the commu►ica tions between London and Liverpool, must, no doubt, he in every point of view desirable. Among the printed papers from which we have niade our extracts, is another report of Mr. Telford, 'mask lately as February in the present year, by order of the Commissioners for the improvement of the Holyhead scud Liverpool roads. In this Report he takes up the sumy at Talk-on-the-Hill, and proceeds from thence to Liver pool, and points out various plans by which the rt)a.l may be greatly improved, and much shortened. 're result may be thus given : DIM Ne I. ~,—.....44..........., Miles. !Yards. 1. Present mad road from Talk-' on-the-11111, by Ctanage and knots• ford, Warrington and Prescot, to Liverpool .. I 2.

The difference in expense betwee ti this and the plan No. 4, is about 80,0001. and the saving in distance by the former plan, as comr,lred with tile. latter, is only four miles. Certainly, cn • the first view, the advantage in this instance does not seem equivalent to its estimated cost. We should nevertheksm in cline to the general principle, that when expensive• improvements are undertaken, prudence not only ad mits, but requires, the nearest possible approach to perfection, although it be attended with a great innise -diate sacrifice. The calculation must depend on the ag gregate amount of traffiii, not as it is at present, heit as it may probably be at a future and even a distant period. Experience in similar cases in this country has ticquentiv justified anticipations which, when first announced, were deemed most extravagant and alittrel. The Reports are accompanied by several well-exicuted maps and sectiobs.— Darbeton Bridge From Dadamn Bridge through' Newcastle From Tal-on-the-Hil to the Town of Sandbach From Sandbach to the Town of Middlewleh From Illddlewich to the Town ofl Northwich From Notthwieh across the Weaver Valley to the road from Aston to Preston Brook, at the letter Al on the map From the letter M to the south shore of the river Mersey, by the green line, to the site of the Cast-iron Bridge.
