Mr Simieckles has wired lor the outgoing S in Francisco mail from Sydney to bo put 1 «lf five day.", and the succeeding mails to lie sent at intervals of 28 diys from the altered date. This would have the effect nf causing thodepiitnre of tho mail from Auckland to take plane on a Saturday, instead of a Motid iy. It is understood tint the alteration will enanle tho mail to citoh the fast steamer at Now York, wherehy a saving of three days would lie effected between Now Zealand and liond'ei,
Tho (rovni-Miiioiit have refused to allow the present mail to he altered, as the notice is too short, and have wired to know whether the ch-ingeis to be pcriiiment or not.

The dates of the diiect mailn will have to be alteied to accommodate the new airanuement', and the Union Company will also have to alter their timetable, in cons' , !>'i"np.\
