SUSPENSION OF SUNDAY TRANS MISSION OF MAILS. _ The official documents relating to this subject have just been issued, and we extract from them the report of Mr. Rowland Hill on the Birmingham memorial, praying for a cessation of Sunday transmission of mails, together with the Minute of Colonel Moberly, addressed to the Postmaster-General : MR. ROWLAND HILL'S MINUTE. BIRMINGHAM NEMOBIAL-SUSPENSION OF POST•OFFICE BUSINESS ON THE SUNDAY. The Postmaster-General. I. In obedience to your Llrdsbip's instructions, I beg to submit my views on the consequences that would arise from acceding to the prayer of the memorial from Birmingham, viz, "that the transmission and delivery of letters may be wholly suspend:A on the Sunday." 2. Tho memorial itself enters hit() no explanation of the arrangetnents by which such change is to be eflected; but plans have bt en put forth in various quar ters, suggesting as a means the simple suspension of all Post-office transactions, whether of collection, transmis• sion, or delivery, for the twenty-four hours of Sanday, thus making Sunday literally a dies non, or pause, and leaving everything else on its present footing. 3. If this were practicable, there can be no doubt that, whatever might be its effect upon the public convenience, there would at least be . a highly valuable relief to the department. 4. That, with this advantage in view, and with an anxious desire to promote your Lordship's wish to relieve the servants of the Post-office from all dispensable la bour on the Sunday, I have felt bound, while submitting measures for this important object, to stop short of the change in question, strongly as it has been urged upon me by its advocates, front my conviction—first, that such suspension is altogether impracticable as a simple measure; for, if adopted, it would necessitate other al terations of a very eoznplicated character ' • and, se condly, that even if it could be effected, still the inevi table inconvenience to the public would be greater than would be borne. 5. Still, if, with all the facts fully before it, Parliament should resolve to incur the risk of the change, it will, of course, become our duty to 'carry out the plan with as much attention to.the convenience of the public, and as near an approach to regularity in the proceedings of the office, as so anomalous a course will admit of. 6. The proposed measure is divisible into two distinct parts ; first, the suspension of collection and delivery; and second, the suspension of conveyance ; and there is this important difference between the two, viz., that while the first may be adopted in any particular place without ma terially affecting the convenience of any other place, it is obvious that the second cannot occur, even as respects any portion of a single line of mail. without affecting the convenience of every place which that line serves, whether directly or indirectly. The former, therefore, might without detriment be adopted in detail according to the wish of each particular place, while the latter would in justice require the general concurrence of all places_ alung the line, or connected therewith._ 7. As regards collection and delivery, London is already in the state proposed; and though, owing partly to the non-dispatch of letters from London on the Sun day, the delivery of that day in provincial towns is pro bably the heaviest in the week, still there could be no insuperable obstacle to placing any other town, where the inhabitants in general so desired it, in a similar po sition. There would, however, be great difficulty in ascertaining the general wish, except in the case of cor porate towns, for it is hardly necessary to say that on a subject like this the general feeling of the letter-writing public is very imperfectly expressed by a town's meet ing. In the case in question it seems particularly diffi cult to ascertain the real desire of the parties concerned, seeing that the Town Council and the town's meeting of Birmingham came to decisions quite at variance with each other. 8. What preponderance should be required in a majo rity thus applying for restriction it is not easy to deter mine. The rule proposed by the surveyors as regards application for the Sunday suspension of a rural post is, as your Lordship is aware, to require that the majo rity shall be in the receipt of six-sevenths of the letters. 9. If, however, any rule should be laid down placing the suspension of collection and delivery in particular places in any degree at the option of the inhabitants, I would strongly advise that, wherever the suspension is adopted, it should be made absolute; for a delivery at the window, as in Edinburgh, while it affords but little relief to the department, actually causes a great increase in Sunday labour on the part of the public through the employment of special messengers, besides occasioning a scene of confusion outside the office quite inconsistent with the object in view. 10. Wherever the Sunday delivery continued, I ap prehend it might still be arranged, without serious it,- convenience to the department, for individuals to be protected against the delivery of letters upon notifying in writing to the postmaster their wish to that effect; with the understanding, however, that such notice once given should not be withdrawn without timely warning. As to the posting of letterr, that is clearly optional with every one. _ _ 11. As regards the suspension of conveyance, there is no place of any importance to which we can turn for an example. For although until lately no letters were transmitted through London on the Sunday, yet the let ters on their Aay to and from London have constantly travelled on the Sunday in all directions ; so that the restriction lately removed in no way affected London. letters, but only those of other towns. 12. The only cases in which such suspension has yet been effected are, as fir as I am awate, in small rural districts, which have applied, with a general concurrence of the parties interested, for the discontinuance on the Sunday of their particular branch post. If such applica tions became numerous, and such discontinuance conse quently extended, it might in time become practicable to extend the suspension to branch posts serving severally to many places; and, without entering into further de tail, it is obvious, that with the concurrence of the pub lic such suspension might thus be gradually carried to a ♦ery great extent. At the same time I must admit that I have not the remotest expectation of a state of things such as would justify the interruption of the mails on the trunk lines, which, setting aside all other considerations, are, I apprehend, indispensable for the purposes of Government; for t) whatever extent their place might be supplied by the electric telegraph, it is clear that, even if its limited range were not a sufficient objection to its being taken as the sole reliance, its use would, after all, be but the substitution of one kind of Sunday labour for another, the balance as regards amount, notwithstanding all appearance to the contrary, being very doubtful. 13. Independently, however, of the necessities of the Government, I see no reason to expect that those of the public, when fully understood, will be regarded as ad mitting of the interruption proposed. The various plans put forth on the subject exhibit great misapprehension as to the facts and possibilities of the case. Thus, it is commonly taken for granted that the change in question would merely put all other towns in the position which London holds at present; the fact being that it would, in a great degree, impose upon London the inconveni ences, as respects blank posts, now sustained by the pro vincial towns, and upon the provincial towns those now sustained by London, each retaining its present incon venience undiminished. 14. Supposing for a moment that it would 'be prac ticable to suspend all the operations of the Post-office for twenty-four hours without suspending the progress of the mails for more than twenty-four hours (of which I will speak hereafter), let it be considered how such suspension would a ff ect the convenience of London. f 5. I will first deal with the dispatch of Saturday night. The consequence of the l.ropoaed suspension would be, that every letter or newspaper contained in this (probably the largest dispatch of the week) would not be delivered, whatever might be its destination, until 24 hours later than at present. Thus the letters and newspapers of this dispatch, which are now delivered at Harrow, Northampton, Birmingham, Liverpool, &c., on Sunday morning, would necessarily be delayed till Mon- day morning; those for Aberdeen, Inverness, Wicklow, Carlow, Cork, Drogheda, Belfast, &c., which are now delivered on the Monday morning, would be delayed till Tuesday; and those for Wick, Thurso, &c., now de livered on the Tuesday, would be delayed till Wednes day. To illustrate this further, it may be observed, as respects Ireland, that while in Dublin the delay would be from mid-day on Sunday, in all other places it would be, at earliest, from Monday to Tuesday, and in some remote places even from Tuesday to Wednesday. A similar observation will apply, in a great measure, to Scotland. 16. Nay, to carry out the measure according to the strict rule demanded, the interruption of the Saturday night's dispatch L must be extended to all continental mails, seeing that even if the letters can all be got on board by midnight, the sailing of the Post-office .packets (which are for the most part our own) clearly involves as great a violation of the principle as the conveyance of the mails by land. 17. Next as respects the letters, &c., now arriving in London on Monday morning; first, no letter posted on Sunday at a place more than 100 miles distant (though on a line of railway) would be delivered in London before Monday afternoon, even where there was a day mail; in all other cases such letters would be delayed till Tuesday morning. As regards places more than about 300 miles from London (still keeping to the rail way), the same delay would occur .to a large part of the letters posted on the Saturday. As regards places not on the lines of railwpy, it is obvious that a much smaller distance will produce the same effect; and there are places so remote that the delay would occur even to letters posted on Friday. 18. Thus, a letter posted on Sunday at any hour at Birmingham or Bristol, or on Saturday after four P.M., at Carlisle on Newcastle-on-T)ne, or on the same day tiller twelve at noon at Dublin, Edin'ourgb, or Glasgow, instead of being delivered in London, as now, on. Monday morning, would be delayed till Monday after noon, and one posted on the Sunday at Marlborough or Petworth, or on Saturday (after four P.M.) at Scarbo rough, Ilfracombe, Launceston, Honiton, Cardiff, or Brecon; or oa Friday (after four P.M.) at Dingwall, Wexford, Waterford, Galway, or Sligo, instead of being delivered in London, as now, on Monday morning, would be delayed till Tuesday morning. 19. This is on the supposition that the existing maile only are maintained. The use of special mails would certainly lessen the delay, though it could not prevent it PUBLICATIONS. NEW WORK BY THE REV.

Tat". oA t r gv s u place, Regent-street FRESH BEEF FROM AUSTRALIA.—We have lately had some bed' submitted to our notice of most excellent quality, and perfectly preserved in tin cases, from Newcastle, near Sydney, New South Wales, of which considerable quan tities are being imported into this country; and we earnesly recommend it to shipowners, as an invaluable substitute and change for their crews once or twice a week, instead of salt beef and pork, especially as this change will not involve an extra expense. Many masters of ships have used this Aus tralian beef, and certified to its general fine quality ; and with emigrant and passenger ships it must come into extensive use, because it does away with the necessity for taking such large supplies of live stock; bnt a powerful recommendation is found in the fact that the Admiralty, aware of the great utility of using preserved boiled beef for the crews of her Majesty's ships, have required tenders for. the supply of ,1 1 000 1 0001be..Shipping and Mercantile Gazette. 0 • proposed measure of stopping the business of the Post office on Sunday. With respect to the delivery of let ters on Sunday, the objection would not seem to be so important, as 11 more particularly applies to the rt ceivers of letters, and as each town would be able to de cide how its trade aas atLcted by the measure, and would then be able to ascertain the extent of incon- venienco to which it would be subjected, still, even in this case, there are other parties unconnected with the places whose interests are involved—i. e., the writers of the letters—who would bo injured in all these cases where prompt action was essential, and speedy informa tion required. The great objection, however, applies to the delay that would be occasioned in the dispatch or transit of the mails on the Sunday, the force of which will be at once appre ciated by an inspection of the accompanyieg table. In framing this table it is assumed that the mails dispatched on Saturday night would either be stopped at twelve, midnight, and again continue their progress immediately after' midnight on Sunday, or that they would not re sume their progress until collected by the mail trains on Monday morning, which, in most cases, as respects letters from or passing through London, would be, under present arrangements, the day mail trains from the metropolis. That this last of the two cases would ,occur is most probable, when it is considered that the Post-office would not undertake (unless ordered to do so) to direct the railways to start trains immediately alter, midnight on Sunday from those places where the mails bad stopped at midnight on Saturday, as such, trains, having scarcely any passenger traffic, would be exceedingly expensive. The probability,' therefore, would be, that either the first trains sent by the different companies from the metropolis would be employed, or that, as it would be desirablo to send forward, through London the letters that had arrived on . the . Monday morning from towns at certain distances from London, r as well as the' lettersposted in London in the - morning .before a quarter to eight o'clock, the day mail trains starting from the metropolis on the Monday morning. would be selected as those combining all classes of cor respondence., and by these means the expense of a double communication would be avoided. With respect to the dispatch of the correspondence to the metropolis from the couatry,the results would be dif ferent according to the various circumstances attaching to the different towns; but the effect in general must be an interruption seriously injurious to intercourse by post between the various parts of the country, involving fre quently the loss of communication for long periods of -time with distant countries, where the interval for re plies between the arrivals and departures of foreign packets was limited. What the effect would be upon the Yost-office revenue, or upon the trade and commerce of the country gene rally, it would be impossible to say. In my own opinion it would be most injurious, as, in point of fact, the mea sure would almost be a return, as regards one day of the week, to the slow communication which existed between various places in the kingdom in the early part of the present century.

A pursuance of these investigations will show that similar delay would be produced as regards a portion of all the dispatches from London made towards the end of the week, and all arrivals there towards the beginning of the week; the amount of derangement of course dimi nishing as we recede from the Sunday. 21. One point connected with the delay of the letters now delivered on the Monday morning see ms to require particular notice. At present, if a North American mail reaches Liverpool on the Sunday in time for the evening dispatch, its letters for London are included in the first delivery of Monday morning, whereas by the proposed change they would be delayed till Monday afternoon, and thus be delivered, I apprehend, too late for the business purposes of the day. 22. Another inconvenience which would arise from the twenty-four hours' interruption of Post-office busi ness is, that at most places the number of blank post days (that is, those days on which the communication with London is delayed), would be doubled. Thus, at Birmingham and Bristol the Saturday night's dispatch for London remaining in effect as at present, and there fore Saturday continuing blank post day, Sunday would be added as a second blank post day. So also as regards the letters from London, Monday continuing a blank post day for letters posted in London on Sunday, Sun day would fm the first time become a blank post day for nearly all the letters posted in London on the Sa turday. 23. To mitigate this evil it has been proposed to make a special dispatch of mails from London on the Monday, at 1 A.M. It is scarcely necessary to observe that the preparations for such a dispatch must entrench on the Sunday; but if this objection were obviated by adopting a somewhat late hour, the proposed dispatch would con sist of nearly empty bags, unless,indeed s is should tempt the people of London to write letters on the Sunday. Even then the number of letters, confined as it would be to the letters of London itself, would be quite insufficient to justify the expense. 24. Baying thus set forth, though very imperfectly, the inconveniences that would accrue to London from the interruption of the mails, I have to repeat the re mark that the same inconveniences would attach to every provincial town, and, except the few which are as well provided as London with railway communication, in even greater force. 25. It is also to be remarked that thus far I have treated each letter independently ; but it •is obvious that with respect to all letters requiring answers the chance of delay would be double. Weed, there are some towns so remote from each other, even within the island of Great Britain (as, for instance, Falmouth and Inverness), that the delay of a day would occur let the correspondence commence on whatever day of the week it might. 26. The estimate of inconveaiences given thus far is, however, made on the assumption that it would be practicable to suspend all the operations of the Post-office for twenty-four hours without suspend ing the progress of the mails for more than twenty four hours. But this assumption is manifestly unwarrantable ; for, taking into account that a cenvenient station is not to be found wherever it may be wanted, and that time must be allowed both for irre gularities on the railway and for the removal and safe stowage of the mail bags after the stoppage of the train, as also for their replacement before the time of starting, together with the necessary examination at each change to secure against any omission, there must be a margin of an hour or so before midnight on the Saturday, and of about half as much after midnight on Sunday. - 27. This additional interruption, the necessity for which has been recognised by some of the advocates of the plan, has two important consequences. In the first place, even supposing it involved no difficulty with the trains, it is obvious that there would be a delay of an hour and a half in the time when the mail would reach every succeeding station however remote; thus derang ing the proceedings of the department at place after place throughout each line, and in remoter parts produc ing this disorder on two successive days, not only alter ing the hours of delivery, but also disturbing arrange ments with the branch mails, cross mails, and rural posts throughout the greater part of the kingdom; and the evil doubling itself, as it must do from its applying to the mails in both directions, would, I fear, introduce an amount of disorder beyond all remedy or endurance. 28. Secondly, the difficulty as respects the trains is of a very serious character, for these being passenger trains will, of course, pursue their route notwithstanding the stoppage of the mail bags; and as the rule must be for the bags to be dropped about eleven o'clock on Saturday night and to be taken up again about thirty minutes before oue on Monday morning, it is obvious that the Sunday night's train, if starting at its usual time, would reach the place where the bags were deposited the pre vious night too soon, and must wait an hour and a half before the mail bogs could be allowed to proceed, and as the passengers would never consent to such a delay, the difficulty must be obviated either by the train start ing an hour and a half later on the Sunday or by the einploymerA of a special train, either of which arrange mcnts would throw upon the department an euormous increase of expense, besides creating serious danger to life and limb by the irregularity thus introduced upon the lines of railway. 29. The above considerations must be borne in mind in estimating the advautige to be expected from the pro posed change ; for as the stoppage of the mails does not involve that of the trains, the release to be antici pated is limited to the servants of the Post-office. Now the bulk of the employment connected with the pro gress of the mails (supposing the various towns to sus rend their deliveries and dispatches) would rest upon the guards, but the stoppage of the mails would, I fear, bring them no release on the Sunday, but only a change in the mode of occupation, as it would, I apprehend, be found indispensable to an efficient responsibility that the bags, whether in motion or at rest, should remain in their custody, and if so, even supposing all other diffi culties to be surmounted, and the plan to be carried out in its highest possible integrity, the guards must still remain on duty throughout the day. 30. Seeing how imperfect would be the relief to the department, and how serious the interruption to the du ties it has to perform, it may be well also to glance at the nature and extent of the correspondence which would be thus interfered with. 31. The number of letters transmitted through the Post-office averages nearly a million per day; and sup posing no more than an average day's letters to be in volved in the several delays p ro d uced by the proposed interruption, and that one letter in a thousand contains information of sudden illness or death, or other matter of pressing importance, this would give nearly a thousand cases per week in which delay would painfully interfere with the f, clings of relatives and friends, or lead to se rious trouble or loss. 32, The pressure hence arising would be so painfully felt that means would undoubtedly be resorted to for effecting the required communication; and thus a large amount of contraband conveyance would inevitably arise, at once detrimental to the object of the change and in urious to the revenue, which would, however, further suffer, and in far greater degree, from the extent to which correspondence would be actually suppressed. 33. There is one view of the question in hand on which throughout this minute I have carefully abstained from offering any remark, feeling sure that your Lord ship expected and desired that I should limit my mi nute to those points on which I have access to peculiar sources of information. 34. The chief conclusions arrived at in the foregoing minute are, first, that as the collection and delivery of letters may be suspended in any particular place without material inconvenience to other places, such suspension might safely be made wh ene ver applied fur with the general concurrence of the inhabitants. 35. Second, that, as the conveyance of the mails could not be suspended on any part of a line without produc ing inconvenience to all places served by the line, the suspension should not bo made except with the general concurrence of all such places. 36. Third, that, to whatever extent the Sunday sus pension of branch mails may be thus effected, there is no probability that either the nece ssities of Govern men t or the convenience of the public will allow of interruption to the mails on the trunk lines. 37. Fourth, that while such interruption would pro duce great inconvenience throughout the Country, de ranging the hours of delivery and dispatch, and d ou bli ng the number of blank post days, it would seriously affect the convenience of London itsel f, del aying by twenty four hours the delivery of every letter an d newspaper contained in the dispatch of Saturday night, o f many o f those of Saturday morning, and som e even of previous days; throwing all Sunday's delivery on M on d ay, an d great part of Monday morning's on Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning, and so on , pr od ucing also a corre sponding delay in Monday and Tuesday's arrivals. 38. Fifth, that it would be impossible t o suspend all Post-office business for twenty-four hours without sus pending the conveyance of the mails for a longer time; and that, besides producing the irregularity set forth above, this anomaly involves insurmountable difficulties with the railways. 39. Sixth, that even if the se diffic ulties could be overcome, the mere stopping of the mails wou ld , i n a ll probability, add no material relief to that which would arise from tho independent measure of suspending col lection and delivery. 40. Seventh, that the suspension of Post-office busi ness on the Sunday would interrupt the progress of a vast number of urgent letters, thus causing much suffer ing, and leading to a large amount of contraband con veyance, which, besides injuring the revenue, would re produce in another form the very evil which it is in tended to remove. 41. However it must be regretted that insuperable difficulties prevent a complete abolition of Sunday duty in the department, it must b e highly g rat i fying to your Lordship to review the improvements commenced a year ago with the suspension of money order business, and which, proceeding uninterruptedly to the present time, are now in such a state of advancement that in a few days the Sunday duty throughout England and Wales will have been reduced to probably little more than half its original amount; this great benefit having been ob tained in such a mauner as not only not to impair, but greatly to promote the public convenience. sth January, 1850.

TEIN CONDEMNED CONVICT IN ITORSEMONGER.• LANE GAor..—Yesterday, Mr. Keene, the governor of the above gaol, received a respite from the Home-office, for Thomas Denny, the young man now under sentence of death for the murder of his illegitimate child at Ewell, the circum stances of which have been so recently before the public. It may be recollected that the chief evidence against him was his own child, an illiterate lad about seven years old, and Eliza Tarrant, the mother of the infant. The lad swore that both of them stabbed the child with the * awl, but the female ' denied it. In consequence of such evidence being taken the Secretary of State has thought proper to commute his sen tence, and it is likely that he will have a free pardon. The unfortunate man received the respite with heartfelt gratitude, and expressed his thanks to those parties who had interceded for him.
