THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.
LONDON, February 22. The Shipping Gazette declares that no proposed enterprise ever met with fiercer opposition than the Australian mail scheme. The syndicate has no intention of relinquishing the contract, but its trouble has been to raise the debenture capital. The financial world has displayed singular indifference to what, in other circumstances, would have been regarded as a sound investment. Received Yesterday, 4.50 p.m. MELBOURNE, February 24.
The Postmaster states that information has reached him from a reliable and undoubted source not connected with the contractors that a powerful influence is being used in England to block the mail contract. He declared that the Government would protect Australian interests, and as far as possible the contractors. No ring or combination would be allowed to impede the progress of'the Commonwealth.
