EX rim MAIL.

A tract lias come into our hands, entitled " A
Plan for obtaining a more speedy Postage Cunt-
mcniestion between London and ►he Distant Parts
the Kingdom." The author is a Mr. Henry
Bur►ess. He .grounds the expediency of his plan
on the delay which now takes place in the return
of the mail from Manchester, Liverrool, and other
considerable manufactering or commercial towns
at a distance from the metropolis—and on " the
principle of soiling the quality and price
every matter arid convenience to the varying
wants of mankind." In illustration of the for-mer feet, be states, that the return mail is de-
layed twenty-seems hours in Manchester, whereas,
to afford perfect accommodation to the itibabitants,
eight would be sufficient ; and that the post com-
munication between the same town and London is
not performed at present in less than four days,
willies% by the mode proposed, it would be com-
pleted in Ito). lii support of the latter principle
be observes (and in our opinion correctly), that
" while it would be quite satisfactory for one man
to receive his letter in forty hours, and pay for the
pestage ten-pence, another man would gladly give
twenty, er even forty.pence, to receive his letter in
twenty hours."

The districts wherein the defects of the general
trad-coach establishment are chiefly felt, ore the
moat commercial and important in England, com-
prising the towns of Liverpool, Warrington, Man-
chester. Stockport, Bolton, Ilury, Rochdale, Ha-
lifax, Huddersfield, Bradford, Leeds. IVaketield,
Sheffield, York, and Hull. Accordingly, it is
proposed, that a new establishment be formed, un-
der the noose of the extra post (in addition to the
prtsrol), for the conveyance of letters only, PO as
to have two different modes of communication Kith
•lf the populous and wealthy districts. The par-
ticular" are thus opened by the writer :
" The outline of the project of an Extra post is, that a
light fnnehine. drawn by two horses, shall start from the
GreleTSl Yost-OffiCe, London, every afternoon at six o'clock,
carrying nothing but the extra mall and the guard, and pro.
en•d to the principal towns of England and Scotland, at the
sale of eleven miles per hone, including all stoppages.
" That the -extra pod shall arrive in London, from the
principal toa•tts, at ten o'clock • morning.
"That there shall be in London a distinct establishment
• for the extra post. That, to pay 11w expenses of this este-
Misbment, and of conducting the extra post to the several
• poiattivf its destination, and to raise an additional revenue
• f.,. she Government, a ipinslmph: postage should be charged
• 1- pon all single biters (or a smaller rate than quadruple, u
iy be determined upon). with si lower ratio or charge upon
• every enclosure, or ounce weight, which can, on consider-
al.••a, easily he regulated.
•• The number of these extra posts which it would be con-

s'tlereil &hirable so introduce is six.
•• Nr•t, the Northern ; strew!. the Dublin ; thirds the
W•esken ; (worth, the North-aestern ; fifth, the Eastern ;
• mint math, the Iri•b:'
We have little doubt that the operation of the

phew system would be found highly beneficial in
tits country. But in Ireland, from the mode in
- • which the •postage communication is conducted.
each air auxiliary to the regular mail is almost
absolutely necessary. There, the highest rate at
the mails travelii is live Irish miles per hour,

• • net equal to' six a 1141 ahall English. Many of the
coriages are constructed to c six inside passel!.
gers. The mail Irvin Dublin to Sligo, may, at the
pleasure of the Proprietor. carry twelve persons, in.
•
clodilig the coachman and guard—while nine is the
highest number permitted here. live the con-
tracts are made Irnnt year to year, su that any in.
ventions or improtements in any part of the
machinery are capable of constant application—
there three contracts are now subsisting. concluded
each for the space of twecty-utte years!
