IMPROVEMENT IN TIIR LIVERPOOL POST
OFFIC'P..
It will be seen by the fullownig letters, that Mr. Haskisson
has eau& t: some very valuable improvements to be made in
the Post-office regulations of Liverpool :
Somerset-place, 111th March, 11323.
51Y DUAR Sla.--I think it right to mention to you, that some
time ago I received representations on the subject of the inconve-
nience felt at Liverpool. as wet! from die delay frequently expe-
rienced in the delivery of letters, owing to the establishment of the
Post-wince Leiog inadequate to this service, especially In Pans of
the town remote from the office, as nn account of the extra charge
of one penny for such delivery. Although these representations
did not reacit the from any of the mercantile associations, or even
from individuals with whom I was personally acquainted. I never-
theless telt it to be my duty, as one of the Members of Liverpool,
to communicate with the Post.'Master-General on the subject so
intimately affecting tbecomfosts of a great part of its inhabitants.
To this commumeasion I had the pleasure of receiving the in.
closed answer from Mr. Frecling, the Secretary to the Post-office,
which I lose nb time in transmitting to you, as containing infor-
mation of It general interest, and I hope of general satisfaction to
die large community over which you preside.
I base the honour to be, my dear Sir,
Four faithful humble servant,
W. lIUSKISSON.
To tke Mayor of Liverpool.

General Post-dlice, March 13, 1325.
Mr DEAR Sts,—ln returning you the enclosed from Mr. Car.
patter, of Liverpool, I send you the part of the report made to us
by the Surveyor of the district, and you will see that 11r. Carpenter
had little cause for individual complaint. I ant glad, however, that
ycu called our attention to the subject of a more convenient and
early delivery of the letters at Liverpool.
The Post-Master-General, after full; consideration, has decided,
first, to extend the general delivery of the letters to the extreme
boundary of the township of Liverpool; all letters within that
boundary will be distributed without any part being subject to the
charge of penny postage, and by means of additional letter carriers
and a new disttibution of the walks, the delivery of them will be
accelerated, and there will be two deliveries in the day instead of
one. I ant truly gratified that your interference io this matter has
led to an arrargenttnt so beneficial to the inhabitants of Liverpool ;
and I am sanguine enough to hope that the increase of accommo-
dation will, if not immediately, hereafter produce sufficient to re-
pay the expense; be that as it may, we are justified in having in-
curred it.

I have the honour to be. my dear Sir,
Your faithful oblisrd servant,
F. FREELING.
