TIIE AUSTRALIAN MAIL.

A corespondent, writing to the Times, says :
" Sir,—As regards the Australian postal service, it
would seem that if we have not jumped out of the frying-
pan into the fire, we certainly have not leaped out of the
former up the chimney.

"To this date ther; is no telegraph of the arrival of
the Cambria bringing the mail to Marseilles, and, even
if the arrivrl were at once announced, the letters-could
not by any po•sibility be delivered until at least 11 days
after they were due in London.
" I noticed in the Times some days ago a letter from an
' Australian Merchant,' asking of the company some in-
formation respecting the probable detention of the mail,
but, as he betrayed an entire ign, ranee of the subject and
the route, I presume the secretary thought the task of
en'ightening him would too too arduous to be undertaken.
I think, however, it would be satisfactory to all those
who have forwarded their outward correspondence via
Marseilles to know that the bags have been forwarded
from Marseilles to Malta in time to catch the Jura. from
Southampton. • As it seems, from the advertisements of
the company, that there is but one steamer (he Cam-
bria) employed in the service between Marseilles and
Malta, and as she ought to be waiting at the latter place
for the homeward mails due there on the 12th, it 'would
seem she could not be at Marseilles to take on the out-
ward mails due tbencenn the 18th.

' If the agents of the company have net provided
another steamer to take on the bags, via France, our
corre.:pontlencd will necessarily be detained at Marseilles
from the 18th inst. to the 18th proximo—not a very
satisfactory result . to those who paid the extra postage
rates to secure the advantages of four days' later into!.
I igence.

Perhaps the secretary may on this occasion consider
;bat some infar,odtion on this subject is due touorres-
pimiento via Marveille.s.'
