THE SUEZ MAIL.
It appears that the General Government persist in making Wellington the port of arrival for the Suez mail! The following telegram has been received by the Chairman of the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce from the Postmaster-General: Jan. 27.—1 have received jour telegram conveying the resolutions of the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce. Arrangements will necessarily be made for the delivery of the mails at the ports of Canterbury, Otago, and Southland. As only one mail steamer can he maintained between Australia and New Zealand, the Government is of opinion that the arrangement which will he most satisfactory to the colony, as a whole, will be for this steamer to come to a central point in New Zealand, from whence the mails will be distributed without delay to the various provinces. The plan suggested by the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce would be very unsatisfactory to the northern part of the colony.—Jorrx Hall, Post-master-General."
