THE POST OFFICE —We have been at some pains
to compile a little return of our own that will interest our
readers. It is a return of the number of cities or towns in
Great Britain and Ireland in 1851 contributing more than
10,0001. to the revenue of the Post-office. Thirteen places,
it will be seen—of which ten are in England, two in Scot-
land, and one in Ireland—contribute more than 10,0001. We
place them in the order of importance in which they are
viewed by Mr. Rowland Hill :
London £953,663 17 11Bristol 'X25,115 7 2

The two most curious points elicited by this return are, the
monster greatness of London over Liverpool and Manchester
and the quantity of letter-writing that is gg on among
old ladies and retired officers at Bath.—Atheneum.
