washington. Feb. 2.-The New-York City
delegation in the House met to-day, to formu-
late g plan through which the appropriation
for the New-Tork Postofice may be promptly
secured. A subcommittee consisting OF Rep
fesentatives Dunwen. Douglas Rider and Gold
fogle was appointed 10 make the necessary In
Nestigation. and report the result at the next
meeting. to be held on Friday morning
In the opinion OF the committee, the most
feasible plan for accomplishing the purpose is
that outlined in The Tribune on January 80
by presenting to the House Committee on APP
pr0priations the urgent necessity for funds
with which 10 improve the totally inadequate
postal facilities of New-York. 1t is hoped that
the S2.0c000O item may be incorporated IN the
Sundry civil Appropriation bin. In the debate
/. on the Urgent Deficiency bill Representative

viding for the amount required was ruled out
OF order. BY implication, however, the Chair

view TO securing their support for the plan OF
