ENLARGEMENT OF THE GENERAL POST- OFFICS';O
DISFIGUREMENT OF THE BUILDING. —Wer k Men 3
actively engaged in making most extensive alteratiolj0
ej
in the Post-office, for the purpose of giving increa
%
accommodation in the inland and letter-carriers' einev-;
in consequence of the additional business that has to
transacted in those departments. To effect the enlarged
ment it has been considered necessarto enclose 311,,,
throw into those offices the portion of th magnificent ve;
tibule between the pillars on the north side, and the gene'
boxes, which will give an increase ofsrd'
to those offices of nearly 1,800 superficial feet ; but bail
the operation the splendid appearance of the noble 11,he
will be greatly diminished. That the business of I'l,-0
postal department has outgrown the proportions of t"0
building, is to be rejoiced at, but it is a matter of surer of
that, as the authorities possess a sufficient quantity c't
ground on the north and south sides, on which to erees,
additional wings, they should pursue a patchwork 5Y e
tern, first by the construction of an unsightly hurricir
house on the north-east facade of the building, and last 1;t
by circumscribing the dimensions of one of the 7Jl°
magnificent halls in Europe.
