To the Editor of the "Norra-Cauxa Darcy News."
Dean Sre,—I trust you will afford space to make public the grievance from which we are now suffering here.
The Europexn Mul per s.s. Indus was delivered in Shanghai on Thursday last, the 25th ult, The German portion of the nuail was duly delivered in Hankow on the 29th ult, two days ayo. The English portion however, was partly delivered yesterday, the other part only arriving to-day fe. six days from Shanghai, Now, Sir, I cannot see the reason for this delay.' Is the mail of such colossal dimensions that it requires so long for sorting? Is the Post-Oflice system at fault, or la there an utter want of system? Once ina while irregularity " may perhaps occur, but for some w-eks past it has been quite an exception to get an early delivery of the hone mail. We might not notice it so much, were it not for the unvarying regularity of the German Mail, Till the British Post-Ottice Officials see fit to alter their free and easy methods, we cin only endure in exasperated silence, Tenclose my card, and remain, one of many Disoustep.
Hankow, 1st May.
