Whatever objection an exact criticism might offs

Mr. Cohan has taken but few liberties with

THE RECENT POST- OFFICE
DELINQUENCIES.
In reference to the late disgraceful combination *0 64
existed amongst the letter-carriers in opening the le,
of sporting gentlemen, and in order to put a stor
effectually to such practices in future, the fo lecoce
notice was affixed to the walls in the General Poet'
on Thursday : " NOTICE.
-‘• It must be distinctly understood that no sub-;ort:
or letter-carrier, may, in the office, open any letter 14
tended for himself until he has shown the addres,
some other sub-sorter, or letter-carrier. a " The late disgraceful proceedings have rendere4oo

of collusions such as existed amongst the parties re.ctoi;

of the 08515 007
inspectors to examine the addresses of letters they to"
observe open in the hands of any sub-sorter or let

POST-OFFICE MONEY ORDERS.— The suggesoi
for an alteration in the rate charged on Post-office 1/2vrid
orders, noticed two days ago, have elicited some r";,obotc
on the side of the deputy post-masters, some ofd for
consider that they are not sufficiently remunerate rot
the increased trouble and risk they incur in perfe Os:
the part of their duty to which these money orderer
long. Since the Government have taken the
iii Ji
order business into their own hands, it is said tha fold?
number of orders issued and paid has increased 01300 or
and the revenue derived from them has increased 4,,„;,fe
500 per cent. The trifling sum the postmasters re"tbef,
per quarter, in lieu of their original fees does uctsnets'
think, give them a proportionate share of the gee or
benefit derived, especially as they are put to the to
tu,
penses of account books for the purpose, and 1100
pay a fine of 2d. whenever an error is committed. rt 4,
with the expenses, and what with fines, the deputy
masters seem to be of opinion that nearly the wbeetigli
their allowance is absorbed. That they do work °IOC
for their money is shown by the fact, which tb'ef
tye
forward, that every deputy postmaster who grabtst the
order has to make five separate entries, and tha
deputy paying has to make four.—Times. 11110
We understand that the King of the Fre°

appointed for his Majesty's departure. to tbi° WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE.—The approaches o'osir
bridge, which have been most objectionable in cool'
quence of the steep " gradience," are about to be %feel
derably improved, it being in contemplation to ret,' acv'
