A Hundred Years Ago
THE " SPECTATOR," JULY 3ao, 1830.
THE NUMBER OF LETTERS.
So great was the number of letters put into the General Post- office on Saturday (nearly 30,000), that the clerks were engaged for some time after their usual hour in making them up. The extra number of papers was immense, and a great many were delayed leaving town that night, as it was impossible, notwithstanding the increase of hands, to assort them ; great disappointment was conse- quently experienced in the country, as the mournful event of tho death of his late Majesty had created the most lively interest.
SITUATIONS.

The Advertiser is thoroughly competent to Domestic Management, and would be found very desirable in a Family who have been deprived of maternal love ; the that references .will be given. Address, post paid, to M. A. P. at Forrester's Music Repository, 35, Waterloo Bridge Road. No Office-keeper need apply.
