ormous increase in the work dow thrown on the Department, arose clearly, conclusive and forcibly put, that they must produce a very strong impressión upon the authorities and the public. The case thus presented by Mr Lister scarcely needs strengthening by come parison with the postal arrangements in Shanghai. It stands out in relief, on its own merits. What is to be done, in view of the backwardness of other

public works and with a prospect of a still further increase in mail communi- cations, will puzzle the Government more than we can say.

The remarks made by the Postmaster. General upon the development of his Deportment well deserve to be printed separately, as they disclose a broad pro- gramme which covers every branch of the work of this valuable public Depart- ment. He writes S
