THE POSTAL REVENUE.
+ •The postal revenue for the quarter ended 81st December, 1880, amounted to £34,122, as compared with £36,492 for the corresponding quarter of 1879. The decrease is only apparent, being due to a change of arrangement for paying over postage from foreign offices. Thus the postages received from foreign offices in the last quarter amounted only to £3600, whereas in the December quarter of 1879 it was £8087. In all the chiet items of ordinary revenue there is an increase, the stamps sold amounting to £27,917 as against £25,924, the money order commission to £2040 as against £1907, and miscellaneous receipts to £273 as against £237. There is a trifling falling off in the sale of postal guides and in rents for private boxes, but the whole decrease under these heads only amounts to about £40. .
