Mr. HAMILTON BENNasked the Postmaster-General whether, as there is to be an extension of the hours of posting at the General Post Office on Friday evenings to catch the Canadian and American mails, there will be a corresponding extension of hours at other post offices in London; and whether he will consider the possibility of still further extending the hours of posting at the General Post Office beyond 3 a.m. on Saturday mornings in view of the fact that passengers do not leave Euston until 9.25 a.m. on Saturday?
§ Captain NORTONI am sorry that it is not at present practicable to make any further extension of the hours of posting, either at the General Post Office or at any other London office, for the Canadian and American packets leaving Liverpool on Saturday afternoons. The matter will be considered again when more experience has been gained of the working of the present arrangements.
