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.
Surely Sir Rowland Bill 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-
ing the paper, which is often kept back till
next morning, which loses a day to our
subscribers, !rho 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. t e make this suggestion in a spirit
of good will, and hope that good may come
of it.

THE SUN.
LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 1860.

When one comes to examine calmly into the
one simple reason (frankly given and accurately
expressed) which has, according to his own show.
ing, induced the Emperor of the FRENCH to take
forcible possession of Savoy and Nice—it is, really
and truly, nothing less than absolutely ridiculous.
France—until strengthened by the addition to it
of a territory amounting in extent to about one-
fiftieth, of its own imperial dimensions, and by the
addition also of some 582,000 new citizens to its
already vast population of some 36,000,000
Fi until that should be done, could not, for-
sooth, be regarded as secure within her own frontiers !
NAPOLEON 111., with absolute power in his grasp,
with an army of 600,000 soldiers at his beck and
bidding, with a. steam fleet such as France has
never possessed before, ready to obey his mandate
in the scattered seaports of the empire literally at
any moment, upon the flash of a simultaneous signal
through the radiations of the telegraphic wires
concentered in his MAJESTY'S private Cabinet in
the Palace of the Tuileries—the imperial ruler of
that formidable and well-armed State actually pro-
nounces his dominion to be jeopardised unless Savoy
and Nice
are summarily
ceded to France by Sar-
dinia. That is positively the one only reason for this
flagrant act of
esi
annexation. And that reason we
do again unh •
ta
gly pronounces to be nothing less
than absolutely
A deduction front this has been not unnaturally
and very admirably put by
a contemporary.
it is argued, "twelve millions of Italians, menaced
en the north-west by Austria and her formidable
Quad! il-teral, with the sea-coast open to the
superior navy of France, and a Government
not yet consolidated by time, can inspire
such terror into the breast of the con-
queror of Magenta and Solferino that he cannot
believe himself Fafe unless he seize Savoy and Nice
in order to shelter himself behind them, what
amount of territory will be required in order to
secure France a gainst the evil designs of forty
millions of Germr ins united for centuries in a federal
