It is not surprising, there fore, to be that on Christmas Eve the un- happy-officials at St. Martide-le-Grand were overbelined by the ruab of huge bags that poured in upon them from all quarters brimful of ponce and goodwill. Some of these baga could not, it is stated, even be opened, and the despite of their contents was of necessity delayed.

Inland mails, on the ground of the grave inconvenience to mercheute of delaying their bills and other. mercantile advices. There cannot be a doubt that the delay of twenty-four hours in the despatch of a Christmas surd would be a less serious matter than the delay for a week, or a fortnight perbupo, of an important letter on business to a foreign country; but Manchester, whose misaon it has besu to promote love, joy, and pose throughout the civilized world, surely should not comphuis of the inconvenienocoaused by these outburata of kindly feeling at Obrist-
