A COBBESPONDENT Writes to faquire how it Was that our worthy Postmaster General omitted to mention the Parcel Post, in his lengthy report, as he must have had some thing interesting to say on that head, It is most likely that our new Postmaster could have enlarged on that subject to any extent, as his great difficulty seems to be condensation. But it is possible that the pablle have cessed sending mechanical dolla, steam engines, and torpedoes through the Post Office, and thus deprived our G. «P.
