It appears to be now generally understood that the pf
.
time for business in the City is to terminate at four „.tr
o'clock, and to which arrangement it would-seem that /

they were when 'Change did not terminate until five,
o'clock ; and a kind of extra meeting was .beld outside
-for nearly another hour. The lateS4 time fe,IIIT
psting letters for the East or West Indian or AuF;j 30
man mails, is the usual inland hour of seven; ana r$
the correspondence by any one of them is quite 0-5,
voluminous and valuable as that to the Continetk'
while it is all deposited in the office four hours before
the letters, and consequently is by so much a tells!
to all engaged in it. From the crowded state or
Cheapside at five minutes to eleven, when the pave-.
ment is filled with persons running to be in time,
with scarcely a moment to spare, and the confusion at
_
the Post-office itself, it may be inferred that, Were
the time extended, the letters still would not be,
brought till the last minute, and it has, therefore,
been asked why, as procrastination is the order of the
day with houses connected with Europe, the time ffi
cannot be lessened, it being certain that quite su
cient would remain to transact all business and
out undue precipitation. ,stt
