In 1859 more than two thousand petitions were presented to Parliament in favour of the plan and early in 1840 the penny postage was carried into effect with the assistance of Mr Hill, who, for this purpose, received an appointment in the Treasury. A change of government having taken place, Mr Hill was, in 1842, removed from office, on the alleged ground that his services the value of which Government fully acknowledged-were no longer re quired. The public, however, justly con- Ridered him ill-used and he was rewarded in 1846, by a public testimonial of the value of £13,360. In 1849 he was engaged in the management of the London and Brighton Railway, of which company, in 1846, he became chairman; in 1846 was appointed Secretary to the Postmaster- General, and in 1854 Chief Secretary, in the room of Col.

DESPATCH FROM BIR GARNET WOLSELEY, SUBBENDER OF NATIVE COIRFH. Nows has been received from the Cape, by way of Madeira, to July 15th. The fol lowing despatch from Sir Garnet Wolseley has been received at the War Office →→

Capt. Mo Lood has been commissioned to stir up the Swazis to aggression on the Zalus, stimulated by the price of 5,000 cattle placed on Catewayo's head. Leigh has been deputed to the Amtongas to kindle among them a mercenary friendship, and constituto them our King entchora. Col. George Villiers goes to Utrecht as political agent with Obam, who is offered 5,000 cat- tle as a reward for his fraternal act of catch- ing for us his brother. Major Schwabe has been appointed to the command of the corps of Kaffir carriers, of whose efficiency I entertain the lowest opinion. They will eat more than they carry; and go to the front like snails, to the rear like antelopos.

SIR-It seems to me about time for the Inspector of Buildings or perhaps better Bay of Nuisances should enquire into the reason why the contractors who are build- ing the houses in the Queen's Road, have not yet got the pathways clear for traffic, as the buildings were destroyed last year in December. I think the suggestion is worth looking into, especially as traffic is so much impeded.
