THE TWOPENNY POST.—From the Ninth Report
of the Commissioners of Post-office Inquiry, which has
just been made public, it appears that the total number
of letters transmitted through the twopenny and three-
penny posts during the last year was 13,589,925 ; that
the number of letters collected from each town receiving-
house of the Twopenny Post department was, in four
weeks, 841,674. Of these there were "posted"' at Char-
ing-cross,lB,ll3 ; in Oxford 5treet,23,363 ; in the Strand,
29,322 ; and in Cornbill, 59,519. It appears farther that
in 1835, the number of missing letters was 3,282, of which
35 were recovered ; in 1336, missing 2,358, recovered 37 ;
in 1837, missing 2,882, recovered 52. Of the missing
letters, no fewer than 339 were " money letters," sup-
posed to contain money to the amount of 6,1731., of which
there was recovered 3,839/. The amount of receipts in
the Twopenny Post department seems to be diminishing ;
in 1826 they were 117,a01. ; in 1836 they had dwindled
to 112,924/.
