POST-OFFICE SUNDAY DUTIES.
A return has just been issued, giving a history of
the measures recently adopted for the reduction of
Sunday labour in the Post-office, and showing their
results. It appears that the movement on the question
originated at Bath, where, in consequence of a me-
morial which had been presented to the Government,
the Sunday money-order business was abolished on
the 6th of February, 1848—a step, however, which
WAS followed by a petition, signed by 4,752 persons,
against any further curtailment of accommodation.
Before the lapse of a year the experiment which had
been successful at Bath was carried out generally,
and about October, 1848, inquiries were set on foot to
ascertain the practicability of assimilating the Sunday
deliveries of letters in England to those in Scotland.
Fears were entertained that the measure would be
met by strong complaints, but it was thought that if
it were accompanied by an arrangement for transmit-
ting the " f,r ward" letters through London on the
Sunday the advantage thus given on the one side
would counterbalance the restriction on the other.
The plan in this shape was accordingly submitted in
February, 1849, sanctioned by Parliament in August,
and carried out on the 28th October last. The addi-
tional force employed in London on Sundays in con-
sequence of this arrangement turns out, notwith-
standing the false reports circulated in every direction
at the time, never to have exceeded the original esti-
mate of 25 persons, who were entirely volunteers,
and it now appears that on the 20th January, owing
to the satisfactory working of the system and the
facilities it gave for simplifying other arrangements,
this force was not only discarded altogether, but it
was found that the labour of the ordinary force of 27
persons was considerably lightened, and that it will
even be possible, by some plans now
the pending,last to re-
duce that number to 15 or 16. 'Within
two years other measures of Sunday relief have
been diligently prosecuted, the most important of
these being the establishment of the late
delivery on Saturday nights at • a distance of
6 miles round London, whereby, with increased con-
venience to the public, 181 men have been wholly
relieved from Sunday duty ; the diminution of busi-
ness at the provincial offices by the discontinuance of
a large number of Sunday mails; and the disuse of
money pre-payments on Sundays for all inland letters,
so that the offices are now generally closed at 10 in
the morning. On the whole, it seems that the result
of the various alterations patiently carried out by the
Post-office authorities in the midst of the mistaken
hostility directed against them, and without incon-
venience to the public, has been, first, to withdraw
the money-order business on the Sunday from 436
provincial post-offices in England and Wales and 234
offices in Ireland and Scotland ; and secondly, as re-
gards the delivery of letters, to give relief to more
than 6,000 persons, and, on the average, more than
five and a half hours each.—Times.

Mr. FERRAND.—The Leeds lidelligencer of Satur-
day says :—" The proposition which Mr. Ferran(' made to
the farmers of the Pontefract polling district, that they
should form a 'Farmers' Wool League,' is causing great ex-
citement among the farmers of Yorkshire. A requisition
from the farmers, inviting him to meet them in Doncaster on
the 20th, is in course of signature at that polling district.
Meetings aro being arranged for the Beverley polling dis-
trict on the 27th ; for the Mahon polling district ou the 4th
of May; and it is expected that meetings will take place in
quick succession at Richmond, Snaith, Selby, Wetherby,
Ripon, Knaresborough, Thirsk, and other agricultural towns
iu this extensive county."
