which I have stated may not he quke correct; I am, how_
ever, satisfied that the total distance between Newcastle
and Edinburgh will not exceed 96 mike, and that There-
fore the mail, travelling at the rate of nine miles and a
half per hour, including stoppages, would exempt:eh the
journey in 39 hours.
The respective exact distances, and more particular in-
formation as to the inclinations, will be stated in the me-
morial, which I shall have the honour to transmit to Lis
Grace with as little delay as possible.
I am, &c. Sic.

MEMORIAL FROM EDINBURGH, DATED 1629,
FOR AN ACCELERATION OF THE LONDON

MAIL TO EDINBURGH.
To his Grace the Duke of Manchester, Postmaster-
General, &a.

The great importance of an expeditious communication
between London and Edinburgh and the North of Scotland
is so strongly felt, and so universally acknowledged, that
the memorialists conceive it unnecessary for them to en-
large upon it. They may, however, observe that the
changes which have recently taken place in some of the
public departments in Scotland add great weight to the
considerations which formerly existed fir improving the
intercourse between the two countries. Many matters af-
fecting the commercial and shipping interests which could
formerly have been disposed of in Scotland must now be
made the subject of correspondence with London, and it
is evident that if the mail could be expedited so as to ar-
rive before business hours are over, a day in the course
of correspondence would, in many instances, be gained,
which is now lost. The immediate measure which the
memorialists, after fall consideration, recommend for that
purpose is, the establishment of an additional mail from
Newcastle by Wooler to Edinburgh. Great sums have
been laid out in this country in improving that line of
road, and further very extensive and important impro►e-
ments are now carrying on. It is very considerably
shorter than the road by Berwick, and when the improve-
ments which are now commenced are completed it will
be 19 miles shorter. A considerable expettet is at present
incurred by the bye poets which carry 'letters to different
places on that road. They would be saved if a mail-coach
were established : and the memorialists have every miser?,
to believe that it might be contracted for on such terms as
would occasion little or no additional expence to Govern-
ment. But even if it were attended with expo/lee, the re-,
venue of the Post-office would be improved by the were
rapid communication between the metropolis of Saeatland
and London, and there can be no duabt that all the other
branches of the Scotch revenue, as well as the country at
large, would be materially benefitted.
The memorialists :ay before the Postmaster-Geueral a
copy of the resolutions which were this day adopted by a
meeting of the Noblemen, Freeholders, and Justices of
Peace of the county ; and while they earnestly hope that
his Grace will give his sanction to this measure, which
will confer a great and immediate benefit on this country,
they conceive that it will more than any other tend to for-
ward those improvements in other parts of the roads,
which, when carried into effect will greatly diminish tha
expence of the northern mail, by shortening the ennann-
nication and making it more safe.
Tlie Postmaster-General, by granting this additional
mail, will therefore aid the progress of measures which
are well entitled to the patronage of Government, and will
both increase the revenues and advance the general plea.
pe rity of the empire.
