The leading mercantile houses connected with the
Cape have addressed to the Post-office authorities •
suggestion that the departure of the next Cape mail
from Plymouth should be delayed for one day, via.,
from the morning of the 7th to that of the Bth.
The packet will then inform the colonists of the in-
tentions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer with
reference to the wine duties—a branch of production
in which the Cape is largely interested. Unless
the suggestion is acted upon, business in the colony
may be interfered with during a whole month ; or,
in any cue, by using the telegraph to Plymouth,
some houses may gain an advantage over others.
