EVENING DELIVERI OF LETTERE IN THE
=mutt; OF LONDON.

At present letters are not delivered the same
evening at many places within mix miles of St. Martin's-le-
Grand, If posted at a London receiving house or pillar boa
after four p.m.; but letters for these places are posted be-
tween four and as p.m. much more numerously than during
any other two hours of the day. It is, therefore, vary im-
portant that such letters should, if possible, be included In
the evening delivery.
Hitherto, however, It has been found that the letters la
question could not be collected, assorted, conveyed to their
respective districts, and arranged for delivery, so as to enable
the latter-carriers to reach their walks before a very late hour,
and the measure, coesequently, has not been adopted ,wept
on Saturday night, when a delivery, although late, is made
as preferable to one on Sunday morning.
Beomt improvements, however, In connection with the
district offices, and the aid now etemively &traded by the
use of the district initials—by the separation, in postbag, of
the district from the general poet lettere—and by- the adop-
tion of street-door latter boxes—harem greatly facilitated the
;perationa of the department es to enable the Poatmaster-
moral to effect the delivery of the correepondence in ques-
tion in all cases in which these aids an given.
Consequently, on the 12th of September next, the late
evening delivery will be extended to many additional places
within about aix miles of the General Poet-OffiON and will
then Include all the following suburb., viz.:—Barking, 8.,
Batmen, &W., Blackheath, 8.8., Bow, 8., Brixton, 8.,
Brompton, &W., Camberwell, 8.. Charlton, 8.E., Clapham,

don at any "Igoe or pillar letter-box before six p.m., or at the

of reminding the public that the addition of the district
initials to the address ensures a priority of delivery to letters

dressed to places within the district in which the letters are
posted.—By command of the Postmaster-General.

AN ADVENTURE ox GOATFELL.—A piety of gen-
tlemen left Invereley Hotel on Monday forenoon, to amend
the lofty peak of filoatfell. The de, was hot, and the sky
was clear, bet over the distant landscape there wass ham
which invariably accompanies beat, and which gives distant
' coasts and headlands a shadowy, indefinite, end to mem%
with creative fancies to fill up the outline, s poetical upset,
but to the matter-of-fact traveller a disagreeable banter to
the vision. The party numbered seven or eight gentlemen,
some of them youthfolotimble, and active, but mote than ono
had seen the snow. of half's-watery. Having attained the
height of their ambition, the summit of Gostfell, and enjoyed
the refreshing breeze which on the hottest day is felt there,
and haviag partaken of snob ref/mintiest' foe the Mersa
manes are ever welcome to the natives of merry Zeeland,
they commenced the descent by • different path from that by
which they sacended. Some of the party had climbed the
mountains of Sei,thrland, end looked upon anything got up
in this country as mere molehills in comparbion. One stout
epeclacled gentleman of 19 stone (Dr. Smith), rubicund,
noisy, and shon-sighted, started off down the southweet
side among the lois° debris which has fallen from the reeks
above. This burp incline terminates on the top of a fearful
prwilAir, over which a traveller fell two years ago and was
killed. Down, down, went our friend in • gully merle by •
mountain torrent, till his eye caught the fearful gulf below,
and in desperation he oohing to a jutting rock, by which
hie progress downwards with checked. Holding on like
some " told swimmer in his agony,' he shouted to his
friends for aid, bet they had enough to do with themselves,
and heeded him not. They got down to Gleam* below
without concerning themselves much about their friend,
whom they now observed resting front his labours, se they
thought, on bin toffy chair. They sh,inted to him to come
along, but their shouts were lost in the noise of a falling
torrent. They now wended their way homeward to laver-
, cloy, comaoling IaSIZUSITO• with the remuk that their friend
would not fail to he at the inn in time for dinner. Bat
dinner passed, nightfall muse, and still to word of the loot
gentlemen, and jokes were not so (request', end long faces

Douglas Hotel was now appealed to. and he is ever reedy
and ever entire to aid his friends. All the sentient., hands
about the inn NM called out, waiters end coachmen were
collected, and off they rat, provided with ropes, di. The
whole night long the search wag continued, but not until
