NEIM'APERS.

- The Irish Post-Office have recently given directions
to the different Postmasters, in order to insure the re-
gular delivery of newspapers. It has long been the
custom in this country, as well as in lieland, for Post.
masters to permit papers to be opened at their offices;
and it not unfrequently happens, that when a journal
contains any interesting intelligence, it does not reach
its destination. To remedy this evil, the Irish Post-
ma:ters-General have adopted the following regulations:

I. That when a Postmaster, on opening hit Mail, Alaiil find that
any paper which he thinks should have leached the Office, has not
arrived, he will by letter acquaint the Secretary with the circtitn-
stance, and the name of the subscriber whose paper may appear to
be missing.
2. No paper is to he delivered but to the subscriber, or to his
messenger or servant, known to be such.
3. That tinder no pretence, either with or without the consent
of the subscriber, shall a deputy open and read a newspaper pre•
vious to Its being delivered to i:s owner, and of course from under
his official care. If subscribers are willing that Poitmasters should
have the benefit of reading their papers, it must be after, and not
while-they have the official custody of theist.
4. That no Deputy will, under any authority, either written or
verbal, permit any paper to be opened and read by any person but
the subscriber to whom it is addressed. If subscribers are willing
to permit persons to ;cad their Filters, it must he after the Post-
office has di'charged its duty in delivering it to themselves or their
messenger, known to br such. Post-oficet mint not be converted
into reading-rooms. Such a practice, while it must add to, if not
create the very evil comp Liked of, affords the same advautageswith
subscribers, to persons who thereby contribute nothing, e4tber to
the Post-office, the Stamp-office, or the P.ditor. Deputy Postmas-
ters must not be agents in acts which haves direct tendency to in-
-1
jure one branch of the public revenue, and by curtailing the cicada-
-1 don of newspapers interfere with the interests of the press.
