MAIL AND CABLE SERVICES.
Mr Henniker Heaton, m his paper read at the Colonial Institute, declared that the postal loss on a penny sea route would be within without allowing for the increase of letters. If such a proposal were adopted, he advocated a reduction of the Continental charges to a halfpenny, and said that the Colonial Conference had not uttered a word of sound criticism of his proposals. He denounced the oppressive cable monopoly, and advocated the Imperial- Colonial purchase of the Eastern Extension Company's lines, and the construction of a Pacific cable, and thus to enable the establishment of a shilling tariff.
