RED TAPE.
TO TH3 BDIIOS, Sib,—l am informed that under ttis-oew regulations if I sent a delayed tdqgoun bom here to Waikoikoi (10 miles) the addnsiee would not; get it until to-morrow at 9 oWoek. As the mail only goes to 'Soi three times a week, yon will understand tfaitt a delayed wire that could be called for and obtained would be a great advantage; bat evidently rader the ' present regulations if the addressee sailed for his letters they would be banded to him and the delayed wire kept till next monoing. Caa you inform me if this reeoP foriftt in, than we bad better import some half-idiotic CbJounaß ' and ' give him tbe ofßoe of chief muddler. 1 Better a little intelligence fbaS Donoat alL— i I am, &c, 1 I Tapanui, January 15. DuxrEO.
