The Bella, launch, bound for Napier, brought up in the roadstead yesterday. The Hindostan (N.Z.F. Co.) was to leave London on the 10th September, for Auckland, under command of Captain Peek. The Hindostan is to be followed by the ship Dunflllan, a new purchase of the New Zealand Freight Company. The Rangatira arrived in harbor yesterday morning o’clock. The steam launch reached her. sit 7 a.m. and the mail was landed safely about 10 minutes to 12, 50 minutes after the outward mail had closed !! ! It matters little to us where the fault lies ; but the conduct of some one in this most vital matter is reprehensible in the extreme. Captain Lloyd did his best to get the Rangatira up to suit the flood tide and whistled away for hours, but could wake no' one. The mail was then pitched into the boat, bnt as parsimony or indifference, or ignorance of the Government as to the exact state of affaire, docs not pay any one for the service of land carriage, it was delayed as we have stated. No time was, consequently, allowed for a course of post, and the benefits supposed to be derived from a subsidized mail service are lost. This is simply a disgrace ; and we hope that as the Hon. the Defence Minister is himself, a victim, we may have such a representation made to his Government ns will cause an improvement to be eflected in this branch of the public service at the port of Poverty Bav.
