Owing to the methods adopted by the Hongkong anthorities, the English and Franch mails of week apart will on this ocasion arrive almost aimaltenasusly.

It has been pointed out to says the Kobe Chronicle of 8th February, that the responsibility for the late arrival of the English mall this woek does not rast with the P. & 9. Co., which we may say we had no intention bur remarks should suggest, as the company is eterally interested in getting is mail through as quickly as possible. The real difleulty is that the mail subsidy offered by the British Govern ment ends at Hongkong (Shanghai), while we understand that of the M. Co. extends to Yokohama. Now that Japan s tem place as a commercial nation; it certainly would be to its interest to offer a subsidy for quick de livery of mails from Europe, but we are afraid that this in not to be expected at present.
