MAIL SERVICES.
The New Zealantl Ministry, whose exlias boon prodigious in its oxtent, arc at the present moment devising means to reduce the public expenditure hy £250,000 a year, and it is unlikely they will entertain a proposal to pav £25,000 a year for a San Francisco mail service—a service, that, while it might expedite tho carrying of mails, would add nothing whatever to the trade of the Dominion. If we have any money to spend m facilitating the delivery of mails, another effort should he made to secure the calling at INe-v Zealand of the steamers now trading between Vancouver and Australia. Me are aware that Australia, does not caic to give up her present grasp of the Vancouver service to extend the period of the trip, hut if arrangement is to be made, it- should be m this direction.—* ‘North Otago Daily times.
