THE POST-OFFICE AND
NEWSPAPERS.

Scarcely a day elapses that we do not
receive complaints of newspapers missing,
being too late, or arriving several posts be-
hind time. This is an intolerable nuisance
to our subscribers, and is, besides, highly
prejudicial to ourselves. Where rests the
evil ? It is idle to complain, for polite
answers and promises avail nothing.
gurely Sir Rowland Rill will have some
merciful consideration, and endeavour to
redress the grievance. It is a double griev-
ance,. for we are made to pay for not send-
mg the paper, which is often kept back till
next morning, which loses a day to our
subscribers, who truly say that old news is
no news, causing anger rather than benefit.
If the General Post-office be not large
enough, then extend it, or build another
capacious enough for every purpose, be the
cost what it may. It will serve for all
time. e make this suggestion in a spirit
of good will, and hope that good may come
of it.
