IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR THE MORNING

MAILS.

In consequence of the numerous complaints that have
been made to the Right Hon. Viscount Canning, the Post-
master-General, from parties who have experienced much
delay in the delivery of their letters in the country by the
morning mail trains, the Post-office authorities have
deemed it necessary to issue the following important,
notice as regards the time of posting letters and news-
papers at the receiving-houses in the metropolis and
vicinity, to be forwarded the next morning by the early
morning mails, which will not only save much delay, }lout
disappointment to those they are addressed to in The
country, if strictly adhered to. A general notion prevails,
that all letters put into the boxes at the receiving-houses
very early the same morning, will be forwarded to their
destination by the mail express trains, and thus are the
delays complained of occasioned by themselves, and not
Post-office, or railway companies.
The public should be informed that all letters or news-
papers intended to be sent off by the morning mails must
be posted at the receiving-houses the previous evening,
before 10 o'clock, or they will not get off until the usual
hour of departure the next evening, as the boxes through-
out the metropolis are cleared at 10 p.m. Letters and
newspapers for the north and north-western counties,
Scotland, &c., can be posted at the branch-offices, Charing-
cross, Old Cavendish-street, and the Borough, the same
morning, viz., newspapers, 6.45 a.m., letters 715 a.m.
At the General Post-office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, and the
branch-office, Lombard-street, the boxes for newspapers
will close at 7 a.m., and for letters at 7.45 a.m., which in
eludes all the different towns and places transmitted by
the. mail trains of the North-western Railway (Euston-
square) and the Great Northern Direct (King's-cross).
To all other parts of England, Wales, and Ireland, the
letter boxes will be open at the above offices for news-
papers until 7 a.m., and for letters until 8 a.m. At the
General Post-office and the Branch-office, in Lombard-
street, for newspapers until 7.45 am., and for letters until
8.30 a.m.

There are upwards of 350 post towns in England and
Wales, to which letters and newspapers can ho forwarded
by the morning mails.

To Scotland, Ireland, Prawn, and all Countries vid
Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and the Mediter-
ranean, Belgium, Holland, Prussia, Austria, the whole of
Germany, Russia, Poland, Greece, Turkey, &c.
The public are respectfully requested to pay strict at-
tention to the time of posting their letters and newspapers
for the morning mails.
