L _MAIL TO LIVERPOOL

*ADD CT

A mettborial was forwarded to the Earl of Lichfield, the
Postrnast(T-General, on Thursday last, from the merchants,
hankers, and traders of Liverpool, requesting that an addi -
'tional nu:il might be dispatched from London to Liverpool.
At the T,resent time the mail arrives in Liverpool from London
at half- past four o'clock in the afternoon, and the letters arc
delivered at half-pas e. Thr: t fiv mail leaves Liverpool again
ft nine at night ; and as there is not sufficient time
ter;; that many
beta veen these hours to prepare answers to the numerous let-
of the houses in Liverpool daily receive, nor to
tat:end to the advices of their correspondents, a whole day is
kJ-at, as the answers to those letters cannot be forwarded till
'acne o'clock the next night. So with regard to the arrival
sat the mail in London. It arrives in London at a quarter
before seven in the evening ; but as it is then too late for
;any persons to attend to business letters, their delivery is
delayed till the next morning, and another day by that
means is also lost. In the memorial which was transmitted
to the Earl of Lichfield, it is proposed to have an extra
mail from London to Liverpool, to start at twelve o'clock
in the forenoon, and arrive at eight in the morning. This
would enable the mec,,Vnts to send answers to the letters
brought by the mail on
day would b 'the previous evening, and thus one clear
would also give the e saved 'in Liverpool, and another in London. It

other. There can be no doubt that such a conveyance would

'the former was two hours and 40 minutes, and of they atter four
hours 30 minutes. The number of Peers at the legislative sit-
tings amounted only ten times to above 100, and never ex-
ceeded 112. The average number who voted the laws was
953 and, consequently, only six abcve the third required by
the standing orders of the Chaeoer to render the vote valid.
