THE NEW POST-OFFICE REGULATION.—The
Examiner points out a fact which must make it impossible
for Lord Colchester and Mr. Rowland Hill to carry out
their letter-opening regulation till a great reform has been
made :—" The wretched stamps now in use are so ill pro-
vided with gum that it is difficult to make them stick, and
a little friction or rough handling rubs them off. It will
be rather hard on persons who have paid their money for
these unadhesive stamps to have their letters opened, their
secrets pryed into and made the amusement of the Post-
office, on the ground of a default of postage, when there
has really only been a default, of gum, through the fault
of the Post or Stamp-office. It is to be observed that our
adhesive stamps are the shabbiest and worst in Europe."
