POST-OFFICE RETURNS —Yesterday was printed a
return respecting the Post- office, from which it appears
that the gross revenue of the London District Post, for
the year ending the sth of January last, was 295,244/.
10s. 7d., which amount includes 198,943/. 13s. I Id. for
postage stamps, sold by the London district receivers; a
portion of which stamps must have been used for Gene-
ral Post letters. The superintending president of the
London District Post estimates the gross revenue for
the year at 159,177/. 2s. id., by excluding the general
letters; but as both are so mixed, the Accountant-Ge•
neral cannot separate.them. The cost of management
for the year was 102,9721. ss. 2d., which includes a con-
siderable part of the cost of collecting and delivering the
General Post letters of the London District. The net
revenue is returned at 192,2721. ss. sd.
