The Post Office Hotel.

' The extensive alterations and improve- • inents which have been in progress some. •". "time at the Post Office Hoi el, Mary street, are now completel. Tin's -holcl is in-t • quite as large as some on the Thames, but - we may assert with confidence that, none is better appointed. Upon approaching it a substantial verandah, extending over the whole width of the pavement, strikes the eye ; it also serves as a fine spacious baK - cony. Upon entering there is a large well furnished, bar parlor, which would also . serve as a commercial room. Here two or - three parties could sit and enjoy themselves without interfering with e»ch,oth'r. There • are besides two cosy sitting-rooms, where persons could partake of a social glass-in privacy. There is alsoadiningroom in iiar mony with the requirements of the bouse Ascending a handsome staircase,, having a beautifully polished banister, ' t!,r ■ private sitting-reoms and bed rooms, are ' reached. To our mind the sleeping ' apartments are the great feature ot the ; home; indeed, we have noi seen their equal in any house of accommodation. ' They are about 12 feet square, and the ', ceilings are lofty. Not only are they ■ prettily, papered and decorated, but the .curtains, carpets, and chamber furniture ..are:good and plentiful, and the general surroundings attune the mind to " Home, sweet home.' 1 There are also two elegantly furnished sitting rooms on this storey. The halls and passages are spread with carpet and matting. If home is excepted, we cannot imagine more quiet or comfortable quarters than - the Post Office Hotel, and tho style in which it is fitted up reflects the greatest credit on the landlorn, Mr Thos. Heron, who evidently ' has spared no expense to have everything as it should be.
