POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS.—We deem it high time,
as the Post-office authorities appear to be utterly careless
in the matter, that the public should take some steps to
remedy the delay occasioned by the defective arrange-
nents for the transmission of our Merionethshire mail.
in consequence of the non-arrival in this town until
after nice o'clock, of the London bags, instead of at the
appointed hour, twenty minutes to eight o'clock, the
contractors of the Tanybwlch mail have not sufficient
time to reach that place, so as to be able to return to
Carnarvon early enough for the dispatch of the London
post; and the result is, that correspondence from Merio-
nethshire is delayed at this office for twenty-four hours.
It will hardly be credited by parties who are not in-
formed on the subject, that letters lie at the Tanybwlch
post-office from seven o'clock at night until one o'clock
the next day. Indeed, the whole of the arrangements
on this line appear as though made to retard, as much
as possible, the communication between the adjoining
countries. Letters from Carnarvon to Dolgelley by the
morning mail reach, or rather ought to reach, Tany-
bwlch about halt past twelve, where they are delayed
for seven hours. At the expiration of that time they
are then forwarded to Barmouth, a distance of about
twenty miles, where they are allowed to rest for the
night, and in the morning are forwarded to Dolgelley.
But, if letters are placed in the Carnarvon Office, eight
or nine hours after the dispatch of the Merionethshire
mail—say five o'clock in the evening—and are marked
via Chester, they travel eighty miles by railway, and as
long a distance as the so-called direct mail, by mail cart,
and yet, strange as, it may seem, they reach their des-
tination within four hours of the former dispatch. Can
it be possible that Mr. Rowland Hill is cognizant of these
facts ? It is notorious that, for the same expense, the
Merioneth mail might be conveyed to its destination on
the same evening; yet, although the inhabitants of the
localities through which the post travels have more than
once brought the matter betore the Post-office autho-
rities, no steps have been taken to remedy the evil.
We understand that, on and after Wednesday next, the
15th instant, the London mail will be dispatched from
this town at twenty minutes before six, instead of at six
o'clock, as at present.—Carnarvon Herald.
WORCESTER FAIR.—At this fair which took place
on Monday, the attendance of buyers was very small.
The show of stock was very good, both in quality and
numbers, but the greater part went back unsold, the
graziers not being willing to be guided by the few buyers
present. The price of beef ranged fr
5 d., w
omsdito6d
mutton there was a good supply;

hersf
ewes, ,
61d. Pigs were at a much lower figure; bacons, 9s. per
score. There were but few horses, and prices lower.—
Gloucester Journal.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Indigestion—that Parent of
so many diseases, may be effectually cured by the use
of the celebrated Vegetable Restorative Pills, prepared
by J,ln Kaye, of Dalton-hall, near Huddersfield. This
assertion is not based upon mere opinion or probability,
but upon facts. Jonathan Good, tailor, of Winchester,
suffered for years from indigestion, he was. recommended
to try Kaye's Worsdell's Pills, and as the result, he has
enjoyed better health than for years before.—Mr. James
Noble, of Brampton, Cumberland, writes,—" My wife
was for a long time troubled with pains in the stomach,
loss of appetite, sickness,, and general debility; she was
fully restored to healih by taking one small box of these
Pills." Mrs. W., of Ewelme, Wallingford, writing to
Mr. C. J. Vennimore, says,—" I believe Kaye's Pills
saved my life last summer, when I was attacked by the
Cholera." Ellen Eggleston°, Feling-bridge, near Bi-
shop Auckland, was affected- with disease of the bowels
for two years, but was restored to perfect health by tak-
ing one box of Kaye's Worsdell's Pills." Every one
suffering from Bile, Flatulency, or Indigestion, is earnestly
recommended to give these Pills a trial. See that Mr.
Kaye's coat of arms and a fac-simile of his signature,
are printed on the directions for We wrapped round
each box, as without this none are genuine. Sold by all
Medicine Venders, price ls. 4(14 2s. Id.; or 4s. 6d.
