POST-OFFICE REGULATION WITH REFERENCE TO
THE TRANSMISSION OF NEWSPAPERS.—Considerable misap-
prehension has for some time existed with reference to the
following point in the practice of the Post-office—the right
of newsvendors, and the publie generally, to write the name
of the sender, or the'initials of such party, in addition to the
address of the person to whom such newspaper is intended
to be delivered. It has been thought by many persons that
it is pet fectly legal to do so, and the practice to a considerable
degree has been pursued, to the delay of the body of mails and
the annoyance of the authorities, as well as the vexation of
the public, whose papers have consequently been charged
with postage, according to their weight. Vendors and others,
however; may now be aware that such practice is contrary to
the regulation of the Post-office ; but as a most valuable con-
cession, on the part of the Postmaster General, has been made
in favour of the bona fide newspaper dealer (that of the right
to have his name and address printed upon the cover), the
following letter, from the assistant-secretary of the Post-office
to a newspaper agent, is subjoined, by which it will be per-
ceived that the question is now set at rest by official autho-
rity :
"General Post-office, Nov. 13, 1845.
" Sir,—l beg to inform you that the enclosed newspaper
cannot be forwarded without full-letter postage, in conse-
qnence of your name and address being written upon the
cover. I beg to add that newsvendors are allowed to have
their names and addresses printed on the covers of news-
papers, but that they are not permitted to write them. I
am, Sir, your obedient servant,
"THOMAS LAWRENCE, Assistant Secretary.
"Mr. William Lawrence, 12, Great Trinity-lane, City."
General O'Brien, whose name has been previously
mentioned in this paper, and extracts from whose pamphlet
upon the affairs of the River Plate and the conduct of Rosas
have been placed before our readers, has now left this country
for Monte Video. It is but due to this Gallant Officer to
state, that he was in this country a most indefatigable agent.
By his means and exertions numerous petitions were pre-
suited. to• Parliament on the commerce of the River Plate;
and in his interviews with the Foreign-office here, as well as
in France, he was incessant in urging upon the Governments
of both countries the necessity for the interference that has
now taken place.— Times.
OBSERVATION OF SUNDAY IN DISPENSARIES.—
Yesterday forenoon Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest, at
the Vriend-at-Hand, Colonnade-mews, Russell. square, on the
body of John Herridge, aged sixty-seven, a boot-maker.
The deceased died almost suddenly on Sunday evening last,
and his wife called in a private surgeon, though she would
rather have consulted Mr. Lloyd, of a neighbouring dispen-
sary, who had formerly treated deceased successfully; but
she could not do so, as the dispensary, she said, was closed to
patients on Sundays. The Coroner was surprised at this,
and could scarcely credit a proceeding which could be only
justified by the cessation of illness on Sundays. A juror con-
firmed the statement, and said that certain dispensaries
afforded relief only on six days in the week, and rested on
the Sabbath. Verdict—" Natural death,"
