INCREASE OF POST-OFFICE BUSINESS.—The labours of
the Post-office now and in 1829 are scarcely comparable.
In 1840 it was said, with an expression of wondering
surprise, that 40,000 letters left London daily—and the
entire number passing through the office amounted to
76,000,000 annually. The next year, at the reduced
rate, they were more than doubled ; and every year the
increase has risen higher and higher. During the last
six years the average increase amounts to no less than
260,000 letters and 14,000 newspapers daily. It is esti-
mated that the number of letters which will pass through
the General Post-office in the present year will be about
95,000,000—the newspapers nearly 2,ooo,ooo—over
and above the numbers which passed through it in 1846,
though the reduced postage law had then been in opera-
tion for some years. The Report of the Post-office of the
United States for twelve months ending the 30th June,
1852, shows that the number of letters that passed
through the American Post-offices during the year was
under 96,000,000, or less than a quarter of the number
transmitted in this kingdom ; but it is worthy of notice
that 88,710,490 newspapers and other packages of printed
matter were charged with postage during the year, and
that in addition, 27,073,548 passed free.—Athenceum.
PRIZE FOR ENGLISH HORSES AT CHANTILLY.— The
