DUBLIN, Avow 24.
A deputation, headed by the Duke of Leinster and
the Lord Mayor, and comprising some of the leading
mercantile men of Dublin, waited yesterday on the
Lord Lientnaant, at the Viceregal lodge, with refer-
ence to the postal and pasernger communication be-
tween London and Dublin. The Lord Mayor having
introduced the subject to his Fatoelleney, and pro-
seated the series of resolutions adopted on the subject
at the aunties held in the Mansion-house on Satur-
day last, his Excellency observed that he was fully
aware of the importance of that meeting, and that kis
own feelings were entirely in sympathy with their
views on the subject. In the coarse of the intervieW
the following conversation took plate :
The Lord Lieutenant—l shall emssituticate with the head
ef the govenimest—Lord Palutsietes—ow tbe whole sublet?,
sad the oharsetu of the deputation that Me dam me the
honour of wait*, on sae so-day ; and se sleet shall he
treaties as my part to Maim him to give the melt timet-
able esweiderasiew he taw to the matter ow every grouse:
Will there be any sue is Lowden who will be able to supply
isfermation se to the actual details _ _

Mr. Codd, has sea of the Chamber of Commerce—We
shall be quite prepared to &need. We did go to London
two months ago, bat it happened to be the week the French
Emperor was in town; and though Lord Palmerston re-
ceived us, ha had but very little time at his disposal
The Lord Mayor—l may remark that, although It is the
Irish people who are the requitionista, still it is the English
who will most boaeAt by this arrangemeat.
The Lord Lieutenant—l esnaot tall bow slaters my con-
viction is that both tosatries are entitled to the beet means
of eommunientirra that can be devised.
Mr. Codd—l may tell your Escelleney that there was a
memorial oa this subject presented to the government,
dolled by 98 members of parliament, 64 peers, 4 ex-Lords
Lieutenant of Irelaad, and two cabinet ministers. lairo
also mention that Lord Clarendon, though very m
occupied in his ales, was quite prepared to attend and give
evidence, es was also Lord Monteagle Sir Thos, itedington,
and many other noblemen and gentlemen" so that if the
Chancellor of the Exahequer could only be indwell° open
the purse strings I am sure there would be no opposition.
The Lord Lieutenant—The company is the Landon sad
North Western, is it not ?
Mr. Codd—Yea, your ?Excellency, sad the Chorter..and
Holyhead and City of I)ablin Steam Parket Cempeales.
This latter sompasy hada contract which they are prepared '
M give up.
The Lord Mayor remarked that the payment of /1),11001.
• year by the government only ceased a few years since.'
Mr. Codd—l will just tell your escelleosy bow we NM aid'
present cirounista..ced. The only mails whteh leave %Wm
fer Loadon are at 2 o'clock in the day and 8 °Wools in the
evening. The 2 o'clock mail is quite toe early for all mer-
cantile business, and is never used excerpt in very eneeptien-
able eases. The 8 o'clock mail does not arrive in Loudon
till 11 o'clock the :followieg day, and the letters 'resat
delivered until 1 o'clock, which is quite too late fur businem.
sad I know many instances in which transactions of a cm
considerable amoaat have been willed in coaesqueisee of
the late delivery of letters.
The Lord Lieutenant—Well, gentlemen, I shall take as
early oppnrtanity of communicating with the government,
and no effort shall be wanting on my part to early oat year
views.
The deputation then withdrew.
The Earl of Carlisle proceeds this day by special
train to the encampment on the Carmel, where the
troops will have a grand field day.
There has been once more an unfavourable change
in the weather, and a considerable quantity of ram
fell in the course of the past night. There are, how-
ever, dry intervals which may p t any vety in-
jurious effect of the moisture on the crops, and lathe
meantime all our harvest reports continue of a f -
able character. Some new wheat which has beta
brought into market is of a very beautiful quality,
and fetches a high price. There are considerable
quantities of new oats already at market. The po-
tatoes in the vicinity of Dublin have mattered a good
deal from the blight, which has in many instahces
attacked the tubers, and rendered them unfit for us.
