I was governed in my statement by the fact that some of the smalier cities, whese postmasters conduct both branches with one set of clerks, accom- modated prople during the usnal business hours. J still contend, aud “P. 0.” himselt must admit, that the present arrangement in Wastington excludes thousands from the ad- vantages of the system who are justly entitled to it. Of all the larger cities he named, none has an equal number of temporary residents to this city, who have business interests in the various states. The daily appeals at the Post Office here, besides the communications alluded to bs bes O.,” should bave come weight with the Postmaster to extend the hours for the first three or four days of each month, at least, or change them from 8a. m. to 4 p. m. to 10 a. m. and6p.m. That, or aay Sulinn accommola- tion, would be hailed with joy by Many.

Revvuction or Cawar Freiouts.—The Cum. berland Times of yesterday says: Mozday, by general consent of the boatmen, the freights on coal to Georgetown and Alexandria were re- ducel five cents to each point. The rates, therefore, are now $1.35 and $1.40, respectively, being the closi: ‘tes of last year, and fer an advance ou which the boatmen held out for several weeks at the opening of the present sea- son, gaining the advance, which they now, howeves, voluntarily relinquish, in the hope, we suppose, that shipments will be stimalated. Busixxss.—Business in our city is unasually dull this season. The spring season has been backward, and the business of the river front and Chesapeake and Ohio canal has received @ great set-back by the action of the canal company in advancing the rate of tolls on coal, whic, added to the izcrease allowed the boat- men in freights, has brought the canal into com} etition with the railroads, which are, it is well known, bidding strong for the coal trade.
