Pap. 598 of 1836, and 6th Report of Post-office Commissioners_, 1836, p. 32, &c. It has been stated (see p. 3) that many letters by packets from foreign parts are returned unopened to the Post-Office, in order to save the postages, because the originals or duplicates had previously been received through private channels. It would be useful and important to ascertain the number of these. In the Finance Accounts for 1837, p. 54, there is entered in the Post-office deductions on account of "RETURNED, refused, mis-sent, and redirected letters, over-charges, and returns," the following sums:-- England L59,288 4 1 Scotland 11,129 19 10 West Indies and British N.
