Description THE POST OFFICE AND TELEGRAPH OFFICE, BOMBAY. These two offices are exceedingly well arranged for the purposes which they are intended to serve, and the Telegraph Office in a somewhat fortunate example of the adaptation of Oriental architecture to modern European uses. Until the recent terrible visitation of the plague, Bombay was the richest and most active city in the Indian Peninsula. It is sincerely to be hoped that ere long the traces of its terrible epidemic may be removed, and that the trade which these two offices so effectually serve may be restored to its former activity with the returning prosperity of the people of the great Western capital.
