PORT WAIKATO.

[PBOH OUB OWN CORRESPONDENT.J January 17. Much dissatisfaction is expressed here on account of tlie rocont alteration in the time-table of the Postoffice. By this most eapiont regulation our mails for Auckland are closed five hours before the mail is duo here, consequently letters cannot bo answered till the departuro of tho mail throe days afterwards. As the former time-table had given great satisfaction to all parties, I am at a loss to conceive for what reason it has been altered, unless it is to accommodate some parties of sufficient influonco with the Post-office authorities to induce them to make an arrangement militating against the interests of many for tho benefit of one. A whit>per that such is the casse ha? reached here, and I therefore consider it but subject should bo properly ventilated. A great change is in contemplation as to tllQ BUperintendency of the Bteam transport on the river. Capt. Harriason is to succeed Capt. Cadell as manager and superintendent, hut with the limited means of transport at his command, it is doubtful whether the service will be in any way better performed than heretofore j in fnct, tho entire fleet of steimors now employed need a thorough overhaul, and until they aro put in proper working order it is idle to anticipate any marked improvement in the service. All things considered, great praiie is due to Capt. Cadell tho manner in which, under very great difficulties and discouragements, he haa succeeded in keeping up a I constant communication between the different posts lon the river.
