THE NEW POST-OFFICE.

Solite expectation seems to be entertained that
481 the °Peuing of the New General Post-office, in
t. 'Wotan 's-le-Grand, which is to take place, as
,e"etally
understood, on the 12th instant, a re-
, Ision
Will be made of the manner of delivering
:"`„ era in the vicinity of the metropolis, as well
°f the charge levied in different districts for
e rstage. Nothing can be more partial in its ef-
i,ets than the arrangement for delivery by the
litw„°Penny-post, which extends in one direction
`le More than a mile from the central-office,
min another perhaps a distance of four or five
8* Those who are without the range of the
diti°P"aji c aTpost, do not suffer merely by the ad-
b„rtm but the less frequent deliveries
be' 11" that limit, which loss of time frequently
coille;
in. matters of business, an affair of the
andl °St importance. Letters from the country,
from abroad, are delayed in proportion when
bed
the limits of the Two penny post ; and
514:11,,,1ze11,As in all the populous villages
I:„Culluiulg, or rather forming part of the
tio-nr:Nelis, large concerns in various descrip-
there el business are carrying on, with which
ov; must naturally connect itself a large
and foreign correspondence, it
aii.Ckillous that immense inconvenience must
Ce from the delay in delivering letters of
alp
eointment, orders, remittances in money, and
itlst,°,nlraunications, in fact, of that kind. To
Two'lce theng present unequal distribution of the
l‘lev„,ellnY post limit : the parish of St. Mary,
warkiton
, Surrey; part of St. George, South-
Sho :uerniondsey ; Lambeth; St. Leonard,
a efreditch, &c., are within the short distance of
Aosifle' or a mile and a quarter, from the General
tlef"-°ffice in Lombard-street ; while letters are
or wered at the distance of four or five miles,
po ?wards, in the direction of Limehouse,
koPiiair, and that district. It appears that me-
varCa's on this subject have been presented at
vin°°4 times from different parishes in the en-
-1111°: of London to the Postmasters-General.
