PROMOTIONS.--POST OFFICE.

1st Body of

General Postmen--Timothy Sneak, to Broad-street bell and bag,

vice Jabez Broadfoot, who retires into the

chandlery line.

" Horatio Squint to Lincoln's-Inn bell and bag,

vice Timothy Sneak.

" Felix Armstrong to Bedford-square bell and bag,

vice Horatio Squint.

" Josiah Claypole (from the body of letter-sorters)

to Tottenham-Court-road bell and bag, vice

Felix Armstrong. N.B. This deserving young man

is indebted to his promotion for detecting a

brother letter-sorter appropriating the contents

of a penny letter to his own uses, at the

precise time that the said Josiah Claypole had

his eye on it, for reasons best known to himself.

The twopenny-postmen are highly incensed at

this unheard-of and unprecedented passing them

over; and great fears are entertained of their

resignation.
