THE POST-OFFICE.
TO TIIE EDITOR OF TUE TIMES.
Sir,—On making inquiries this morning at the post-
office here I find that no instructioas have been received
from head-quarters in London to remove the odious em-
bargo that is at present laid on such unfirtunat letters
as roach the post-office on Sunday mornings. It would
seem that Lord John Raszell's ConamittE.e had no need
to hasten the making a report, as it remains q•iito as
dead a letter as if it had got the Sabbath ban upon it. I
see that his Lordship, with his young family," is see-
ing the sights in Scotland; that Sir Charles and Lady
Mary Wood are at Ilickleton-hall; that Earl Grey is in
the north; that Sir George Grey is in waiting to attend
her Majesty into Scotland; and that, in short, no mem-
ber of the Government is now on duty to und ) its hasty
and ill•advised measure. Lord Clanricarde (1003 not ap-
pear to have heard the Marquis of Lansdowne's last loud
lament in the House of Peers on the postal obstructions;
but in that ornamental hou-e public grievances are
generally heard with great difficulty. Unless some
popular pressure is brought to bear upon the Post-
master-General, nothing will be done to remedy the op-
pressive restriction of the Sunday &livery of letters at
present. In regimental exercise, when a company exe-
cutes a mans:o2yr° allwardly, the drilling sergeant
adroi:ly corrects the bunglers with the alert phrase c f
"As you were." All that is now asked is, that the
noble officer at the head of the Post-office will smartly
call through all his lines " As you were!"
I am, ycur obedient servant,

AN ELEPHANT AT LARGE.—A curious incident
occurred during the fair at Redditch, in consequence of the
large elephant belonging to Batty's menagerie having fancied
a midnight stroll in the garden behind the hostelry (the Fox
and Goose), in which it had% temporary abode. It managed
to force open the door of the place in which it was confined,
without going through the ceremony of picking the lock ;
and it being beneath his dignity to climb the wall like a
common garden thief, several yards of bricks and mortar
were speedily levelled, but this was only% commencement of
the work of demolition. A large apple-tree was despoiled
of fruit and branches, pear and gooseberry trees shared the
same f?..e, rows af celery and be '8 of carrots disappeared in
the animal's cap cicras maw, and, by way of exercise after
such a hearty meal, he was engaged in making fireweed of
a fine laburnum tree, when one of the watchmen was at-
tracted to the spot. The assistance of the keeper was ob-
tained and the monster was again secured. Mr. Batty re-
WhiC4 had been done.

TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
We, your Majesty's Commissioners appointed by a
Ginatiaision bearing date the 8:h day of January, 1849,
for the purpose of inquiring into episcopal ar,cle3pitular
e: twos and incomes in England and Wales, humbly
present to your Majesty this our second report.
In our first report we stated that we bad endeavoured
to apply to the manors, house property, and; mines be-
longing to the Church principles analogous t those
therein recommended with regard to the 'management of
farms and lands, but that in conscepence of the difficul-
ties which presented fte nselves we deemed it expedient
to reserve the question as to the management of those
kinds of :property for further consideration. We have
since applied ourselves specially to this branch of our
inquiry, and we now submit to your Majesty the follow-
ing observations and suggestions thereon.
MANORS AND MANORIAL LANDS.
Manors are frequently included in leases for lives and
years; the lessees, who in some parts of England, espe-
cially the sou•hern and western counties, are styled
" lords farmers," keeping the courts, ani having vested
in them all the rights and privileges of the lords during
the continuance of their leases.
Many minors also belonging to the Church are " in
hand," the bishop or other dignitary, as the case may
.13e, retaining their lordship.
OF the manorial lands, some aro copyholds fir lives,
and some of inheritance, and are subject to the payment
to the lords cf quit-rents and fines (either arbitrary or
certain) on renewal, dea'b, or alienation, and are liable
income c,ises to heriots arso;
all the 'an is being 11,Ad
by copy cf court roll, anddealt with according to the
custom of the manor in tSlich they are locally situate.
We do not feel ourselves. justified in recommending
the same indulgence to be allowed t# the lessees of ma-
nors as wo have advised with i6spect to other estates be-
longing to the Church, such lesees having, in our opi-
nion, no claims on account of capital expended or hal-
provemants effected upon the property.
We think, therefore, that bases of manors, especially
those in the Lands of lords farmers, should not b,-) re-
newed, but that Such lenses should either bo run ote, or
the manors sold, according to the judgment of the tie n-
tral Board, as might seem to them must expedient for
the interests of the Church. _ _

Exceptions should, however, be wide, and the lesiees
should ba e Aided to renewal in cs•les where the minors
are held in connexion with mines or demesne lands,
which should be dealt with upon the same principles as
are recommended in our former r,port with respect to
farms and lands.

We think also that the copyhold and customary
tenure of manorial 'lnds should bo as soon as possible
extingn6hed; the copyholds for lives b-ing in sem'
cases at the discretion of the Central Board, treated as
leaseholds for lifts, -and in other cases, t)g,-.ther wi:h
the clpyholds of inheritance, enfranchised; all raoneys
to be received by way of purchase-money or for en,
franchienaent being invested as advised in our former
report.
We further recommend that in all future enfran-
chisements of copyholds for lives the practice of ex-
changing the lives before enfranchisement should either
be •discontinued, or otherwise that the fines- taken for
such exchanges should be treated as capital and in-
vested.

HOUSE PROPERTY AND BUILDING LAND.
The house property belonging to the dignitaries of
the Church appears, generally speaking, to be let upon
leases for 21, 30, or 40 years, or for three lives, and
some is let at rack-rent. There is alio much valuable
house property and building-land let for a long term of
years, either under special Acts of Parliament, or the
Leasing Act referred ts in our former report.
The am: ants of the fines paid on the renewal.s of the
leases vary in dill-rent dioceses.
With respect to the 40 years' leases, ordinarily re-
newed every 14 jeers, the fines are in some places
only three-quate:s of a year's fitleable value, and in
other places one year's value, or a year and a half's
value.

In this last case the fine is not far from the true
value of the reversionary term of 14 years fur which it
is paid.
We propose to apply to these usually renewable
leases of houses the sane principle which we have pro-
posed in cur first report with respect to leases of farms
and lands, but with the modifications which appear to
us to let required by the nature of the property.
Wo suggest that in consideration of an additional
annual rent, to be paid by. the lessee, the right of per-
petual renewal at the existing rate of flue be secured to
the lessee, and that new valuations should take place,
not at each period of renewal, but every 21st year.
The additional annual rent should be determined as
fellows:—

1. The value of the dry term of tha lessee (i. e , his
term without any right or expectation of renewal) should
be ascertained.
2. Toe value of the t?rin with the right of perpetual
reacwll at the usual rate of fine should likewise be esti-
3. The lessee should be charged with an additional
rent calculated on half the difLrer.ce of these valuer.
Considering th st this additional rent will bo a well-
securcd rent, 5 per cent. on the ahoye-zientiotiel half
difference will be suffitien% _ .

In illustrating this recommendation by examples, it
should be borne in mind that the fec-simple of house pro-
perty seldom exceeds 16 2-3 year,' purchase, yielding an
into rest of 6 per cen'., and accordingly in the following
examples the value of partial or reversionary interests in
the property is estimated at the like rate of interest,
though in practice a higher rate of interest would pro-
bably be allowed in the calculations.
