CORRESPONDENCE.
—o—[We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by our correspondents.] —o— THE NEWC VSTLE (ALBEIITOWN) MAILS. To the Editor of the Uekimwhll Argus. Slß,—l wish to call attention to the disgraceful way in which the mails arc delivered up here. Last Wednesday, the postman arrived, but without any mail for us ; ho stated that he had never received one. it was not t'll Saturday night at eleven o'clock that wo received the letter-bags hero, and wo most probably should have had to j wait till next week, had not a gentleman, travelling for ono of the Dunodiu linns, been kind [enough to bring them on. It is a nice state of affairs truly, when a contractor is paid by Government to deliver the mails,regularly, to find them knocking about on the road, and to have to trust to the civility of a chance passenger to bring them on for us. A great many of the inhabitants in the district have to ride themselves, or send a considerable i distance to get their letters, and it is not very ! satisfactory to have a thirty mile ride for nothing, ! especially on a wet day, like last Wednesday. Last winter we were a mail behind for foui months, and I hope we are not going to have a repetition of the treat.—T remain yours, &c, ; / w. a. w. Newcastle, Juno 6.
