THE ENGLISH MAILS.
A MINISTERIAL STATEMENT. •Mr.' Herdman asked the Acting-Post-mastor-General in tho House of Beprei sentatives yesterday whether he would take steps to facilitate the dispatch of English mails to New Zealand via Suez mentioning that those-• mails-were somel times detained in Sydney for, two days awaiting a steamer to this country. The 'Minister replied that the' Union Steam bhip Company had again been approached with a view to an alteration of the time-table of their steamers ivliieh would insure a closer connection with the inward Suez mails. In view, however, of the fact that the newly-established Vancouver mail servico would, together with the San Francisco service, brin" a regular fortnightly English mail iu a shorter time than mails can under the most favourable-conditions bo received via Suez, the Government was not prepared to consider any proposals in connection with tho improvement of the Sydney-New Zealand servico, unless it could bo obtained at minimum cost.
