Her Majesty's Mails

Threading
our
course
through
several
passages,
we
soon
find
ourselves
among
enormous
apartments
well
lit
up,
where
hundreds
of
human
beings
are
moving
about,
lifting,
shuffling,
stamping,
and
sorting
huge
piles
of
letters,
and
still
more
enormous
piles
of
newspapers,
in
what
seems
at
first
sight
hopeless
confusion,
but
in
what
is
really
the
most
admirable
order.
In
the
newspaper-room,
men
have
been
engaged
not
only
in
emptying
the
sacks
flung
in
by
strong-armed
men
and
weak-legged
boys,
but
also
in
raking
up
the
single
papers
into
large
baskets,
and
conveying
them
up
and
down
"hoists,"
into
various
divisions
of
the
building.
Some
estimate
of
the
value
of
these
mechanical
appliances,
moved
of
course
by
steam
power,
may
be
formed
from
the
fact
that
hundreds
of
tons
of
paper
pass
up
and
down
these
lifts
every
week.
As
many
of
the
newspapers
escape
from
their
covers
in
the
excitement
of
posting,
each
night
two
or
three
officers
are
busily
engaged
during
the
whole
time
of
despatch,
in
endeavouring
to
restore
wrappers
to
newspapers
found
without
any
address.
Great
as
is
the
care
exercised
in
this
respect,
it
will
occasionally
happen
that
wrong
newspapers
will
find
their
way
into
loose
wrappers
not
belonging
to
them,
and
under
the
circumstances
it
would
be
by
no
means
a
matter
of
wonder
if--as
has
been
more
than
once
pointed
out--Mr.
Bright
should,
instead
of
his
Morning
Star,
receive
a
copy
of
the
Saturday
Review,
or
an
evangelical
curate
the
Guardian
or
Punch,
in
place
of
his
Record
paper.
