On previous eccarlone the Chamber has had to complain' of delayed deliveries ol various meile causing great inconvenience to the mercantile community. The complatats now laid hilare the Commitee, coples of some of the principal of which are enclosed, are of the non-delivery of Important baslness correspon dence duly posted but never received, This is a much more teiloos maller, since it not nuly entails inmediate loss, personal annoyance, and larreaching inconvenlerce, but it tends to destroy all confidence in the Past Office, a department in which it is usual to place implicit reliance.
1 perfectly clear that there is wide spread pilfering in the Port Office, and opportunties for it must given, which ought not, in a well regulated ·ffice, to ha affaded. The system of protecting the malls adopted is evidently faulty, and the supervision exercised over their making up and despatch would seem to be either very Casual or lor ffective to admit the robberie lately perpetrated,
Having regard therefore, so the serious nature of the complaints of which those laid before (1

ASSASSINATION OF THE EMPRESS OF AUSTRIA.
"
One of the most cruel and porposeless mar- ders recorded in modern annals was perpetrated on toch alto, when the Empreis of Austria WIS fatally stabbed åt· Geneva by an Anarchist of Palian birth, hat Italian origin, named Luc. cheni. The Empress, who had been staying For some weeks at Montŕžux, mide a visit to Geneva on the morning of the fold in a small itramer. She torched at the Hotel Bra Rivage, and shovely before one o'clock left the hotel and way walking down to the floating pler to re-embark on the wearer when Lacchent stepped up as if to speak to her, but suddenly drew a letto from his pocket and stabbed her In the region like heart, The Empress fell to the ground with a faint cry, bet lismediately rose to her feet, an! with the aisletance of her ule get on Soard the steamer, which way at once stapted. As however, the Empress very soon became u conscious, the vessel returned to the pier, and the Empress was cruriel back to the hotel, where se fred shortly afterwards The murderer,
xhen iri cilng the wound, ran eff, bat was coptated by two carmen, who handed hira over to the police. He offered no resistance. At the police-rtation he declared that he was an Anarchist, but refused in answer questions. He aro valed in exam'ra'd ʼn ther he had seen the Empress four years ago at Budapest, and ime mediarly recrgmlied her. He added, "I hase she is dead. That blow did not bil," When the new of the crim" was coneyed to the Empero Francis Joseph the first ellect upon him l described as having been terrible ; bet he wan alermomis able to master ble gitif sufficiently in give the recessary instructions to various officals. The Intelligence baiciered the utmost

The effect open the Emperos of the news, which was communicated with all possible con- sideration, is described se terrible. When he ralised what had happened he wank toto a chair with a convulsive shud ter, grasping his head with both hands as if I would bant. With a deep algh he exclaimed-" I see I am not to be spared any single misture in this world." According to another account, he said :~~ It is incredible how any creature could have hold brade on each a woman, who never hast a soul, and only did gond all her life." Then followed. long silence. The Emperor, nevertheless, was able to receive his besther, the Archdoke Lad. wig Victor, and the Archduke Franz Ferdinand; who arrived z lile later, well an mveral of the Ministers And Court officiale. All were deeply affected by his griet no less than by the strength of witshat enabled him to master it in order to give the necessary instruc feas to the ||effelals.
