POST-OFFICE.

The following memorial has been transmitted to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer
" To the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of
her Majesty's Treasury.
_ _ _

" The Memorial of the uedersignrd Bankers of the

cities of London and Westminster.

" Sheweth that your memorialists have learned with
great concern that certain alterations have been in contem-
plation with reference to the business of the London Post-
office on Sundays.
" That the quiet and domestic comfort which they, their
clerks, and dependents have hitherto derived from the
rest of Sunday, has been mainly secured to them by the
total cessation of business at the London Post-office on
that day.
" That your memorialists deprecate even such an altera-
tion as the transmitting of letters through London on that
day ; because they are convinced that, if such a step were
to be taken, the result would be, in the first instance, the
receiving and delivering of letters at the head offices for
such as might send or call for them, and ultimately the
opening of the Post-office on that day for every other
purpose.
" Your memorialists, therefore, pray that the cessation
from business, which has hitherto existed in the London
Post-office on Sundays, may continue to be observed.
" And your memorialists will ever pray.
