(to thk kditoh.) Sill, — Peimit me through your columns to direct public attention U> the careless manner m which the mails are treated that arrive here by way of Hamilton These mails seem to be regarded as no better than ordinary 1 ngga^o, and have just as litfle care taken of them. I can state positively that on the night of Friday 7th,when the river was too high for the coach to cross, the mail bags were allowed to lie at the river all through •the night. It is also a by no means uncommon occurrence when the coach arrives late at Te A rob a for the mails to lie at the stables unfil the following morning. Does not this display a- most e»:lpable Want of care ? Whether the mail-carruM- is to blame for not delivering the bags immediately on arrival, no matter what the hour, or the postmaster for not seeing that they are delivered, I k do nut undertake to say, but tberc can

be no doubt abon!. the. fact that the existing state of t.iings calls for immediate reform. — T am, etc., UusiiUVKU. P.S. — I send my name as a guarantee for the truth of what I say.
