(ADVERTISEMENT.]--NOTICE.—TO the readers of
Belt's Life inLondon.—The sudden and injudicious change
which took place in the postal delivery of letters and news-
papers on Sunday, the 23d ult., we regret to say caused
much disappointment to our readers, the recurrence of
which, as far as came within our province, we have endea-
voured to correct by publishing an early edition of Bell's
Life, which is delivered to the newsvendors at Five o'clock
on Saturday morning, and by them dispatched by the morn-
ing mails to stfch places as have the advantage of a double
daily Post-office delivery. There are still, however, several
towns to which the advantages of the morning mails do not
extehd; and we fear in such places inconvenience may still
be 'experienced. We believe it is the intention of the Post-
master-General as speedily as possible to make the delivery
4 morning mails universal—a desideratum much desired on
every account. We have now to state that, in compliance
with the anxious requests of our friends in all parts of the
kingdom, we shall henceforth continue our early publication
-on Saturday morning, so that Bell's Life may be had 300
miles from the metropolis on the same day, and those re-
siding in towns to which the day mails have not yet been
extended may, by the assistance of local agents, either at
railway stations or elsewhere, avail themselves of this early
edition, which; for all useful purposes will be found sufficient,
as ,the intelligence, sporting and otherwise, will be brought
down to the latest moment by means of electric telegraph
and other appliances. For the satisfaction of those who de-
sire to have still later news we shall, after the arrival of the
morning mails in London publish another edition, which, as
heretofore; may be transmitted by rail parcels; and so with
our "Town Edition," published on Sunday morning at Five
o'clock, and containing every important incident occurring
up to the latest hour un Saturday night. To our numerous
subscribers, for their unexampled ant extensive patronage,
we beg to return our most grateful thanks—a patronage most
extraordinary, there not being a city, town, or village in
