Posr-OrFIcK MIsxANAoKMENr.-We have fre-
quently referred to the miserable manner in
which the affairs of the New York Post Office are
managed, yet there is no change for the better
We daily receive letters from our correspondents,
and subscribers, some of them post-masters,
complaining of the irregularity of the mails from
this city. The following are specimens of what
we receive:

juno 27th and judging from the past shall probably
get to morrow morning the Herald of June Goth, sc.

any way by which it can be avoided

To THE PnorRiEron n. Y. HERALD;-
SIR :lt very unpleasant to be called upon often

resting The mail not opened after leaves the New
York fos Office until it arrives at this Office The He.
rods that carried around and sold hero by the News
Boysar receivet daily. You will please Qf in your
power) remedy the evil.
We can assure our subscribers, as we have done
on former occasion, that the mail department of
this journal is attended to in the most efficient
,,l a. ,l> e,
their paper lies with Robert H. Morris, who
appears, just at this time, to be about as
inefficient Post master as was ever nfiict-
ed upon u.s. This official is lawyer,
politician, a Post mnster, and a member of
the State Convention. 1t seems to be part Of his
nature to be eternally dabbling in politics, and in
stead ofattendng to his duties, he is sitting in the
Convention, and receiving his four dollars
day for tinkering and patching up the Cons,itu-
ton.
We believe that we shall publish every COM
plant we receive, in order to show to the public
the Encouragement of the mail department of
the country.
