DELIVERY of LETTERS.—The Postmaster-
General, anxious to promote rapidity and
eorreetaeas in the delivery of letters, has, for postal purposes,
divided London and its environs into ten district., each to be
treated, in many respects, as a separate town; and to render
this arrangement effectual, he earnestly requests that every
*um may be taken by, the public for causing letters to be
directed according to the district for which they are intended.
Initials will suffice, and for the house at which this notice is
left the initials are W. C., the district being the Western
Central,. In the direction of a letter, these initials should be
legibly written in a separate line, £ind should in all cases end
the address, thus :

JAMES THOMPSON, Esq•,
&JO, High Holborn,
W. C.
Or, when the letter is from the country, thus :

JANES THOMPSON,
500, High Holborn,
London,

w.c.

Among other means of inducing this practice, it is sug-
rested that, when convenient, each resident of the Western
District should add the name of the district, or the initials, to
his own address inside his letters when writing to his corre
Vondents, and on his address card. Also, that if in busi-
ness, he should give the name of the district, or the initials,
the beading of bills or invoices, in advertisements or
rds, and on any article of manufacture which may bear
!s address. _ _

Correspondents not attending to the above arrangement,
ithould be requested to use the initials in reply.
Information as to tho district in which any locality is in-
Cuded may be had at any receiving-house in London and its
et►virons, or at any head post-office in provincial towns,
all of which alphabetic lists of streets, &c., will be
kept for referonee. The British Postal Guide, which can be
/Procured (price 6d) at any bead post-office, will hereafter
eontain a Similar street list showing the district initials : and
like information, the Postmaster General is assured, will be
given in the London Post Office Directory for the year 1857,
in the part headed " Street Directory."
The following additional information may prove useful :
