THE SUEZ MAIL SERVICE.
A complaint was made in the House of last week, during a discussion on the mail services, that the inward English mail sometimes lay in, Sydney several days before it was brought over to Now Zealand. It was suggested by one member that a 3mall subsidy to the steamship companies might result in an improvement in this connection. Possibly there may be some ground tor the complaint, but the Suez mail service appears on the whole to be giving satisfaction. Judging' by statements that have been made by business men in the South Island, it
would be time enough to talk of expediting the despatch of the mail from Australia when the Postal Department here had taken measures to ensure the prompt forwarding of the mail after its arrival in the Dominion.
