d low emulations, which for the most pad
are salllciettly refuted by notorious Mote, some p-
sis& views resprcting the events of this period that
le still too near by far to permit a critically sound
description of them.
Delta appears to attach special importance to Roe-
euth's having obstinately rejected all conciliatory po-
licy, and that he by this " has given a proof of his
ambition, of his dreamy arrogant policy." There is
sot eves one man of sound understanding in all Re-
vert who does not knew, that ou the part of Austria
the slightest attempt at a peaceable reconciliation and
understanding with the representatives of the Hen-
gsrian nation was never annotuseed infers the break-
ing out of open hostilities, by the thymica of the
Hanes, declared a traitor by the King. There is but
sae feeling, one voice about it, that this would have
base an indispessable duty of the Austrian cobble—
= set of prudence, of common fairings. No
eat could comprehend why it was not done, why the
Emperor Ferdinand, when he in his voluntary eon-
cessions of March, afterwards perceived danger for
the existence of the Austrian stn's unity, did not cry
out to his Hungarians—" The cioccessious made to
you is ths days of extreme political excitement ap-
pear to threaten the farther existence of the Austrian
collective monarchy. As a parcelling out of it cannot
be your intention, allow your plenipotentiaries to
seeemble with the deputies of the other provinces et
the empire for mature deliberation, in order that the
political reform of the monarchy may take plies is a
manner calculated to strengthen tether than to
weaken" But instead of this open loyal modest the
Ismael deceptive system, es in the times of Leopold L,
was followed, and they acted with a perfidy that
stands unexampled is history. The men of
the Austrian cabled did not dare to 'li-
mit the privileges at Hungary to a rigid
impartial scrutiny, Lc they were only too well
known to it, end it bad invariably occasioned them the
greatest trouble to circumvent them, to amuse and
the nation with their Machiavelli's eiseeells.

the monarchy, fur examining into the rights t f Hew

by all her kings—could serve sea base ; since even
the reigning house itself, that had nothing cadged
about it, had mounted the throes by virtue of sub
charters.

mails; in those ems when this would be nests-
nary to secure their earlier delivery as the Monday,
all the calms lettere, whether inland or not, would be
sent by the night mails. It is obvious that under
this arrangement none of the 19tters in question could
be delivered anywhere on the Sunday.*
17. I should also strongly advise that in the per-
Formosa, of the abovelosathsed duties at the Lstelon
office no infringement should be allowed on the hours
of divine service; the whole interval from ten in the
morning till five in the afternoon being left perfectly
free; and I shall propose to extend this arrangement
as far u practicable to the existing duties at that
office.
18. By availing ourselves of the time now occupied
by the ekrlis of the travelling post-office in assorting
such of the letters in question as now reach them
by the anecial cross posts, I am of opinion that a
brae of 25 men, at the expense of 3001. per annum,
will suffice for the duties now proposed. And when
it is considered that in the single anomaly referred to
above the plan will effect a saving of 1481. a year, it
appears highly
.probable that the total reductions
efrected by the improvement will fully compensate
such additional expense.
19. I should add that, although Mr. Bokenhain,
whom I have consulkd, sees no difficulty as reg.irds
the practicability of the general measure, he is of
opinion that little aid can be afforded by the clerks
of the travelling poet-office, consequently, though
willing to try with 26 additional men, his impression
is that a somewhat larger number will be necessary.
20. As regards the effect of the proposed change on
the amount of Sunday occupation, it is manifest, from
what has already been stated, that for the increased
forte at the chief office thee is, to say the least, a
large set off elsewhere. A further examination,
however, will put the matter in a light still more
satisfactory.

21. It ie notorious that a blank post is everywhere
preceded and followed hy a greater amount of corres-
pondence than usual. Taking London, the average
number of letters is greater on Saturday by 8 per
cent., and on Monday by 25 per cont., than ea other
days. But as respects the correspondence sent
through London, Saturday evening is at present in
moat towns a blank poet time. It therefore follows
that such correspondence is despatched from the
sources in unusual amoont on Saturday morning, and
on Sunday morning or evening, according as there
may or may not be a Sunday day mail.
22. Now each of these augmentation tends to pro-
duce aiditional Sunday work both to the department
and to the public. For the letters in the fleet cate-
gory are in the mat part distributed by the Post-
office and read by the public on Sunday ; and those
in the snood are foe the most part written by the
public and despatched by the office on Sudsy.
23. It is obvious, therefore, that se far as relate; to
the letters in question, the proposed change would
entirely get rid of Sunday work, ss respects the
public, while as respects the department, it woad
exchange work now dispersed through nearly a
thousand offices, fur concentrated occupation in one,
the latter requiring a lose proportionate force, and
falling co inch times as to be dealt with without in-
fringement on the hours of divine service. It is
manifest, therefore, that as respects general super-
cession of Sunday work, and the balance is in favour
of the proposed plan.
24. The advantage, however, by no means rests
here. The plan will be an important aid, as will be
shown hereafter, to measures for relieving the pro-
vincial offices as regards Sunday business in general.
25. As regards the chief offices. The force now
proposed to be employed on the Sunday would suffice
for nearly all the ordinary duties necessarily belong.
ing to that day, and thus it would be possible to defer
moat of the work now done on the Sunday till after
midnight, and thus to avoid any material increase in
the Sunday force. This latter change, however, im-
plies the precious consolidation of the inland and die.
trict post offices.
26. Nay, were it thought necessary, there me
means, arising in part out of the comparative leieurel
at moat country offices on the Saturday, by white
Sunday work at the chief office might be reduced
considerably below its present amount. As, however,
these means involve some complexity, and psegbly
additional expense, I do not prepare them at proem :
but hereafter, should they prove sufficiently simple to
be reduced to practioe, and not too expensive for
adoption, there can be no doubt that this prevention
of the weekly delay or irregularity in the vast cor-
respondence which ordinarily passes through London,
is far from involving any increase in the amount of
Sunday work, would, independently of its aid to
other measures of relief, directly prodooe a material
diminution of the same.
27. I now refer to the speobl question of relied to
the provincial offices.
The mums in oontemplation appear in the M.
lowing extract from my wants of Dee. 6,1848 :

n,* at that day.
28. This proposal having been referred by year
lordship to the English surveyors, has met with their
unanimous and eeriest concurrence.
It appears, however, that although the general
rule is to have only one delivery on the Sunday, then
are several towns in which there are two.
The diseentinuanee of the additional delivery, al-
though with one doubtful exception approved of by
the surveyors, might neverthelue, in the absence of
other alterations, produce swim complaint from the

however, would, as regards most towns in

29. This change, therefore, bong considered aspen

mending that (with possibly one or two exceptiou,
which if necessary will be unstilted hereafter)) the
second delivery be abolished throughout England and

port@ et the surveyors are submitted.
30. It may perhaps assist your lordship in de-
cidirg the important question now submitted, if I
briefly recapitulate she results, negative u well as
positive, of the whole of the mwure.
3L First, It will prevent irregularity or delay
(often amounting to 24 hours), in the transmission of
probably 50,000 litters a week.
32. Second, It will add Reiser nothing to the ex-
peeves of the department.
33. Third, It will cause no increase whatever of
mail trains or other meats of transmission to or from
London oa the Sunday.
34. Fourth, It will neither bring in nor take out a
single London letter. and therefore cannot cause
either a Sunday delivery or a Sunday collection in
London.

35 Fifth, While it will not effect the number of
Sunday collections elsewhere, it will materially reduce
the number of Sunday deliveries.
36. Sixth, While, so tar as the public is concerned,
it will leave matters precisely as they now stand io
London and the vicinity, it will tend greatly to re-
duce Sunday letter writing and reading elsewhere.
37. Seventh, It is true that se regards the London
Post-office, it will, in the first inetanoe, require the
attendant* of about twenty-five persons on the Sun-
day, but these will not be allowed in the slightest
degree to infringe on the hours of divine service;
and I am of opinion that, eventually, even this
limited attendance may be avoided, and the Sunday
work in the London office reduced much below its
present amount. On the other hand, u regards the
provincial offices, it will ulnae a very large body of
persons now engaged even during the hours of divine
service, and will thus afford to many hundreds, per-
haps even to some thousands, needful rest, and the
opportunity of attending the services of the day.
38. Should your lordship approve of these propo-
sals, I submit that the necessary application be mane
to the Treasury.
39. Some important measures of relief to the rural
messengers and rural receivers on the Sunday, which
have been suggested by Mr. W. Johnson, will still
remain for your lordship's consideration ; but, as they
are not essential parts of the main plan, I propel, to
submit them hereafter in a separate minute.
