THE MAILS.
MELBOURNE, March 20. Speaking in regard to the Vancouver service, the Postmaster-Gene-ral said there was a possibility of an improved service, with a smaller subsidy from Australia, and that end would be attained by bringing Now Zealand into the service. It was not easy to say what would happen if the Sail Francisco service was discontinued. The suggestion had been made some time ago to transform the Vancouver and Sun Francisco into a four-weekly schedule at an accelerated rate of speed; then if the two lines alternated they would have a regular fortnightly service, which would bo equally valuable to them ami New Zealand. Such a service might lead to greatly increased business. The Union Company seemed most anxious to meet the Government, but other companies were ready to compete for the carriage of mails.
