The sides ~t lie had ot th- office in St. Martin's -1 -Gr ind have b en brought out level with the lonic s‘de pillars which support the roof of the vs sr ibules, and , wo capacious rooms constructed. l'hat n the ut rt. side is for ttie posting of letters to every par , ot the world, with the exception of the L nd. n district area ; and that on the south sld low used as an office for the sale of stamps, Pubtal Guides, 'he dist, ibution of letters left "till al ed tor," poste restante le ters, &c., &c. Glass ,ky-i ights have been fuser ed iu panels in the roof, and though the . iterations have materially marred the effect f the building, considered as a specimen of architt-ciure, the hall has a light, if not an ele- gant appearance. At the north-east corner of the ti.il is the Electric Telegraph Office, and next to it the pos•ing-hox for the "district" area. An officer, iu unifrirm, is cous , autly on duty during the day irr the hall to answer inquiries and give information to applicants. I.IIE UNDELIVERED AND RETURNED LETTER OFFICES. In consequence of the enormous increase which has taktn place in the correspondence passing chi ough tue chief überopolitan office, it has fol iin% ed hat the inquirers for letters " undelivered," ~r become " dead," from various causes, have mul tiplied in something like a similar ratio. To meet thi. increased and increasing difficulty a most elabo ra! e scheme been designed by the heads of the office, and executed by Mr. J. Gould, the surveyor. c,,tisists of ihe cousolidat ion of the Undelivered with the Rtturned Le:ter Office, and in order to effect tide oiject a spacious room has been con sti ucted, completely over the sorting offices. This room is built upon immense iron girders, which were tais,d and have been fixed in a very brief space ( f time, and happily without the slightest accident. Below a door has been opened in the no:tu-west corner ti the front of the building, where is pbcGd a window for applicants for miss sin;.; lvtt , •rs. These improvements, whilst they will couch f,cilit4te the duly, will also be highly valued by the public, wh , will ave much time in conse quence, and receive a much more speedy answer to thei. applieatitns. Inasmuch as much misapprehension has arisen onsequetic- of want of official information in regard to "de -a" anti " on, 'aimed" letters, our eporr er has writ. en to the Seer( tary of the Post , 44 Office, anti received ti,e following reply :—" I beg , leave to acqu oo that there is no printed list - f übcl letters kept at the General Poet Office, nor is the econt of de d letters which is kept in the re urue I lett. r branch of this department accessible to Ihe pitt , lie.

As almi,st every body ku we, the scene in the hall just before six o'clock w.s one of indescrbable confusion, from 'o. rush or toe with bags and sacks, boys with bundle , , and hund.eds with single newspapers, to the window inside the hall. The mouth of the y Y le ter box has bet-n widened some feet, and the t,ingle papers must all be posted there, while the age, instead of being pitched into the window and over into ihe office are taken in by the front door of -he new under-ground office, put on a counter, op, ned, rind the c,,nleuts poured into baskets by the side of the counter. The baskets are placed upon a tram, and immediately it is filled—which of course is instantly—it is wheeled off, placed upon the ledge of the ascending machine, and by the medium of the " everlasting chain," lifted with the 6 % men to the sorting room at the top of the building, o he silted and despatched by the mails two hours afierwards to all parts of the habitable globe.
