STAMPED PAPERS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE FUN.

Sia,—l observe it is reported that the privilege of re.
transmission of papers by post for fourteen days is about
to be withdrawn from the public.
If there is any one thing which has tended to improve
and educate the public mind more than this, I have it to
learn. I hope the press will do their endeavour to awaken
Ministers to their duty, for they do incalculable mischief.
Your notice relating to the Post-office is too true, and I
hope will be remedied. There is scarcely a week but
papers are detained, or exchanged, or lost. Formerly we
had a post communication east, west, north, and
south, now we have one only to the south, so
that letters to the next post town have to go at least 100
miles instead of 14. I think this a disgrace to a publio
department. remain, yours truly,

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Our market to. day was scantily supplied with beasts.
Prime Scots and crosses sold steadily at full quotations ;
otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state on former
terms. We were fairly supplied with sheep, and all kinds
were in request, at very full prices—the best Downs having
sold at 5s 10d per 81b. Lambs, the show of which was
moderate, changed hands freely, at from 6s to 7s Ed per 81b.
There was a steady inquiry for calves, at prices quite equal
to Monday. Pigs were tolerably firm in price, but milch
cows were a dull sale.
