THE BRINDISI MAIL ROUTE.
Duneiun, This day
Tlie committee of the Chamber of Commerce has carried the following: — "That the committee view with concern the proposal of Sir Julius Vogel to increase the rate of postago on letters via Brindisi to Is per half-ounce, as iv their opinion such a step will practically close this route to the goucral community, and so deprive them of the mail communication with Home which they now enjoy. That great value is attached to the existing facilities for communication, hut while appreciating the advantages which the direct steam service and the San I rancisco mail route confer, the committee are of opinion that it would be an unwise and retrograde step to curtail the present facilities" That a copy of the foregoing resolutions be forwarded to the city members, so as to use their influence in the direction indicated."
