POST-OFFICEs—SUNDAT DUTI!S.—We are autho-
rised to contradict the statements which have appeared in
soma of the pipets r to the intentions of the
Postmaster-General reference to Senday mails. The
object of the issuers in question bee been altogether mis-
understood. Instead et adding to the Stun ay duties in the
Post-ofik• department, it will, on the whole, very greatly
rears, them; aad it will not ring in, or take out, a single
Leedom letter. It is unnecreary, therefore, to say
that there will be neither delivery nee collection of Ist-
ten in London on the Sunday. Oat of London the
Sunday deliveries will be rediscrel.—On this subject
the following notice hse been Wooed t• General Pest-
Office, September, 1849.-1. With a view to affording post-
masters sad their amistants proper rest on the Sunday, the
Postmaster-General has been pteaesa to direct—lit, That on
and after the 14th of October next, all provincial offices in
Ragland and Wales shell he closed on the Sunday tram 10
a es. to 5 p.m., except for the neemeary receipt and despatch
of mails ; the box merely being left open fur the r ceipt et
stamped and unpaid letters. tad, That the deliveries at such
places on the Sunday shall be restricted in all cases to one.-
2. Further, that to facilitate the above arrangements, and at
the same time to promote the public convenience, letters
posted at provincial offices on the blank post day for towns
beyond London, shall, if stamped end pa)ing full letter rates,
be for Needed as on other dap, eo se to be delivered, except
in remote places, on the Monday wing. No change,
however, will be made as regar e to or
posted la London."
LEITERS FOR SOUTH AMERICA.—It appears that
the employment of an agent at Panama for the transmit sion
of letters to:Chili, Peru, (ht., is tuuseereary. The following
nodes has been ironed " General Post-office, Septdmber.
1849.—As there is reason to believe that many pees its in
this errantry adopt the practice's( addreseleg t. the care of
pities at Pumas letters iittended for Chili, Peru. and letter
parts of the western mascot South America, the Postmaster-
General thinks it right to point oat that such a corm i. un-
seasessry, and that It may in some eons oce.sion del

to., are liable to postage at the rate of two tthili g• the
halt-ounce, and so on. and provided this poster be paid in
advance, the letters will be forwarded by tee Beat eh mail
pockets in the Pacific, without any deter don at P.n.s's.
