It appears that our mail communications will persist in adhering- to the usual irregularities. Our English mail is now twenty days overdue, and yet there is no sign of its approach. Notwithstanding the continued grumblings and the remonstrances of all the Australasian group of imperial and important dependencies, the British Government seem determined to overlook the utter inefficiency of the means iised. by the present Company for the transmission of her Majesty's" mails to these colonies. It seems therefore that I the source of any improvement in this resI pect must be the colonies themselves. From the loud and constant coinplaints Australia there can be very little doubt that an early, demonstration of some kind or other 'will take place to rectify matters, and wherever that occurs it is equally obvious that New Zealand ought to join in any-measure that might ensure greater regularity, and in which her interests were fairly considered without undue sacrifice to those of her more aged and populous neighbours.
