POST OFFICE ARRANGEMENTS.

We are happy to announce that important improvements
have been resolved on in this department, with reference to
this district of country. The London mail for nearly a week
past, has arrived an hour earlier than formerly. This will
enable us in future to publish our first edition about 11 o'clock,
and to adopt other desirable improvements in the transmission
of the Chronicle; but having only heard of the new arrange-
ments this forenoon, we are not prepared to intimate anything
further as to our future plan of operation. The Postmaster
here has politely favoured us with a sight of the instructions
he has received, which are to the following effect :
The Edinburgh bag will, on and after the Ist of August,
be dispatched at seven, A M. by a ride to Orange-lane, to meet
the curricle, and by this ride a penny-post bag will also be
made up for Leitholm, and a bye-letter bag to Dunse. This
ride will return at a quarter past nine with bags front Morpeth
and Coldstream, and a ride will be dispatched to Jedburgh,
which will go on to Hawick without stop. At forty-five
minutes past twelve, noon, a ride will be dispatched to meet
the curricle with bags for Morpeth and Coldstream. This
ride returning at half-past two, P. M. will bring bags from
Edinburgh, Dunse, and Leitholm. The ride which leaves.
Hawick at half-past nine, A. M., on the arrival of the mail from
Carlisle, will come on without stopping, arriving in Kelso at.
half-past twelve, noon. There will thus be direct communi-
cation between Kelso and every one of the neighbouring
towns. As soon as the bags from Morpeth are received here,
a direct bag will be made up for Morpeth ; and all English
letters now forwarded to Coldstream, will, by this bag, be sent
to Morpeth.—Kelso Chronicle.

ACCELERATION OF THE MAIL.-We are happy to learn that
a plan is in agitation for accelerating the Mail 'from London
to Edinburgh, which will be of the most essential consequence
to Dundee. By the proposed arrangement, the London Mail,
instead of reaching Edinburgh between one and two o'clock
p.m.;will arrive at half-past ten a.m. ; and it is intended, in
continuation, that a curricle-mail shall be despatched imme-
diately through Fife by Dundee and Arbroath to Montrose,
carrying letters for Kirkcaldy, Cupar-Fife, Dundee, Arbroath,.
and Montrose. Our merchants would thus receive their letters
between three and four o'clock, afternoon, instead of the fa-
lowing morning. It is not intended in the meantime that the-
curricle-mail should proceed to Aberdeen, because that city
would not be benefitted by a midnight arrival. We understand
that the Members for Edinburgh and Leith and the county of
Edinburgh, are to use all their influence to promote the
scheme ; and we trust that the public bodies of Dundee will
join in soliciting our excellent representative, Sir Henry
Parnell, also to lend his aid, which, from the warm interest he
takes in all matters connected with the town, we doubt not he
will most cheerfully give. It will be seen that our Town-
Council have already moved in the matter. The Chamber of
Commerce and other public bodies should immediately bestir
themselves.—Dundee Chronicle.
