further to the extensive arrangements new made ter the
Sunday distribution of newspapers, and to others waiting
the decision of this question, as also to the means now had
to special mensengers, and to the ecenmay el laborer in the
organised anangements of the Post-offin we are not asittafied
Wt the general effect of the measure Would be a dieaftsish
finaday labour.
The Sunday distribution of newspapers, refereed to above,
avian of course from the fact that so many of the weekly
pipers, whether is London or the country, an published
on the Saturday. Aced the refusal of the Post-odes to de-
liver these journals as usual, has been felt by both proprie-
tors and renders as a great hardship.
Foe further information as to the ants of the recent
estop, we must refer to the reports of the cavemen.
II Aria, regard to ahem various reasons, we inesider the
res-riction estahlishod by the recent order net only as inex-
pedient, but Joannal oar ita main purpose.
In exercising a niesepoly of postal entwine., the go-
veroment, as it appears to us, takes upon itself the duty of
forwarding the public correspondence without any delay,
which may not be demanded by nuns of the most cogent
eaten. We need not point oat that the poet-ofitee is net the
only breath of the public envies in which a aortal& amount
of Sunday labour is required ; and it may be added,
that the general practice of delivering end deepatehing
letters on the Sunday is all parts of the United Kingdom,
except London (including even Dellis and idinbergh),
dates back, eo tar as we eve aware, from this first regular
establishment of a post-office in this kingdom, while the
non-delivery of letters iu London on the seas day appean
have an equally early origin.
With a view, therefore, of making a redaction in the
amount of Sunday Ishtar in the Poet-office, es it minted
immediately Ireton the 23rd of June lest, without sees.
plotoly patting as nil to the collection said delivery of
titters and otter Poet office packets on Sands)*, we recom-
mend the adoption of the following arnaposesits
With regard to the London Post-office, we think that the
system which was la torn at the time specified, and which
has not been Aided ty the recent order, shoind be con-
tiered.
With regard to the peoviseial poet-offiNii, we yesommand
that a delivery of letters as the Senday should be resumed,
subject to the following methadone, many of whisk have
been sanctioned by the previous practice of the deportment :
1. That there be 'sly one delivery and one stallestime.
2. That the delivery be made at nett • time es shall are
interfere with the hours of divine servioe, especially of
morning Dery ert.
3. That this delivery be mule either by letter carriers or
at the window of the Post-c Mee, according to the practice
previously pursued on Sundays in each plow. In Edin-
burgh, Glasgow, and most other towns in Scotland, it has
been the practise to deliver letters only at the window on
Sunday. The inhabitants of these towns have become ha-
bituated to the arrangement, and we do not, therefore,
advise Its discontinuance ; but we do rot propose its ex-
tension to other riling, when each a mete has sayer been
introduced, because it affords les, oonveidence sad semerrity
to the public, while it produces no diminution of Benda;
labour.
4. That, ae far as possible, every post-office be closed on •
Sunday at 10 a.m. for the remainder of the day, with the
anyway exceptions seising !rem the late snivels of mane
which hiss heretofore existed.
5. That no money manors for inland letters be received
at a post-office on • Sunday; and that no such letting be
received except such as ere stamped or unpaid.
6. That whenever the letters, which were delivered on
the Sunday miming, reach their destination by 8 o'clock on
Saturday night (which is the are in some of the more re-
mote parts of the kingdom), the delivery be made the oases
night instead of on the Sunday morning.
7. Tent where the duties era such as to prevent the rend
letter-carrier from attending divine serene, an arrangement
be made for presiding a substitute at least on the alternate
Sundays. We apprehend that the additional cost Weaned
by this arrangement would be josided by the importsuos of
its object.
8. That is retaining a Sunday delivery of letters in a
rural district the Postmaster. General be guided by the pre-
valent feeling of the locality ; and that where the prevalent
feeling of the district is opposed to such delivery, the Post-
master-General, alter sat yfif himself of the fact, take
the requides steps for suspending it. This priadple has
eireedy hem sated on to a considerable extent by the de.
L The Postmaster-General, in the years 1848 and
549, withdrew no less than 404 Sunday torsi posts, 320
wholly and 84 partially. In some instonecs, however, the
%habitants, finding the withdrawal more inconvenient than
they anticipated, subsequently requested that the post might
be restored, which was aceordingly dose.
9. That an option be afforded to every householder to sus-
pend the Sunday delivery of letters at his how, oa his
written application to tee local post-office. It would be ne-
cessary that this permission should be guarded by proper
revelation of the department, in order to prevent the in-
tionvesiene which would arise from frogman *images.
10. That the smottemsuts already seeds by the Pc it-
master General for the whhdrawal on the Palsy of *com-
paratively useless mails be motioned upon the same prin-
ciples whisk have been 'beady adopted, and that they be
rendered es eompline es pendble.
