MAIL SERVICES.
BRISBANE, July 13. At a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr Ramsay, representing the Oceanic Steamship Company, read a paper on the advantage ot a direct mail service between Brisbane and San Francisco. Mails could be delivered in London in twenty-eight days and Queenland would bo enabled to command a large share of the American trade. It was not the intention to offer a service to the Government, but for the people to consider whether it was worth while to follow the project up. In the event of Queensland deciding to have a service, Brisbane would he the first and last port of call in Australia, and New Zealand would he dropped out altogether.
