POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Sir, —Can it be possible that letters for England, or say Europe, posted too late to be forwarded by the San Francisco mail, which closed in Christchurch on the morning of the 3rd June were not forwarded by the next opportunity, viz, the Suez mail which left here on the 6th June, irrespective of their haring via Suez or via Brindisi specially endorsed upon them ? Surely it cannot be possible that letters failing that endorsement would be detained for a whole month to the loss and annoyance of the public ? If this is really the case, and the post office authorities neglect to avail themselves of the opportunity of forwarding letters by every successive mail leaving here, whether the letters are specially endorsed to go by that mail or not, it is time that some alteration should be made in the working of the post office by which the convenience of the public may be better consulted. And it appears to me that the Chamber of Commerce is the right source from whence such alterations should emanate. I remain in the hope, “EX HOC MALO PROVENIAT ALIQUOD BONUM.” Christchurch, June 15th, 1874. '
