DEFECTIVE POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS IN SOCTR
WALEs.—Putdis attention has been aroused to the glaringly
defective postal arrangements which at present exist in some
parts of South Wales. The following is an instaooe of the
iaeonsisteceies which have eons, to lightr—Rirwano, a tows
of 3.000 inhabitants, situated on the mail road from Swansea
to Merthyr Tided, although the mail names and repassed
daily, has its letters takea oa to Merthyr, where they rest
all ninht, and re'reee their steps the neat day: and letters
from Heileman are forwarded in • similar meaner. A Isnot
ean be answered from Dover in • shorter rpsee• el
time thaw from Olynnisath, which is only Ma miles distant,
and I. rushed by the mail an hour aft, r leash's Hirwaaa.
Lenora fine Aberdare to Minium, in order to srs three
maw, take a round of 64 sills, occupying nearly two daYn
in the transit. The former town is a nourishing and risias
place, contain'ng upwards of 12,000 inbabitsitte. Repeated
applketione have been made for begs to Swansea and Reath,
but hitherto they hues btu ranted by the Not.ofilos
authorities.

HOWDEN (TORRID:URI) GREAT HORSE FAIR.—
The extensive demand for horses et present eels. ing Through-
out the country as well as on the Continent, Noises the ap-
proaching fair to be looked forward to with even more than
the usual isteriat. Howdes horse fair Is the largest in the
world, not being seined even to that of Horne.stle. It woe
established by a charter of King John, and ha. claims there-
fore to very sonsidanble satiqukty. Great inoonvenience
having been sustained within thli last few years, is these-
quince of the uacertaluty to rating as to the commencement
of the show, the townspeople have set oo foot a document,
to which the signatares of moray of the principal dealers
have been obtained, approving of the 26th of Stpumber.
This was the old time for opening the fair, cad it appears
likely to be in future aiopted.
