Important Postal Changes i'm the

Byan Act Of the last Congress Of the United

the charges on mail matter, which for the ben
EFT Of our readers we give the particulars.
The following article, which we clip from the
Daily H1raiA7 Cd of the srd inst. gives the
Sction Of the Postal Convention recently held
in the City Of New York, a. we'll as tue action
taken by the Postmaster at San FraDcisto, both
of which have met with the approval of the
Postmaster General Of the United States. By a
corresponding setion on the part OF the Post
Office Department Of HAWAII, facilities will be
offered our citzeas for transmitting matter
through the mails 10 the United States, which
have heretofore been prohibited because ofthe
want Of Just such regulations as the recent
postal conventiOn at New York has sactioned
and promulgated:
The recent Postal Couvsutiou held in New York

changes which Ee think. the public will secrpt s.

The Nou-arrivaI of the Steamer
Wilmington

The noa-arrivzl Of the intermediate steamer
Wilmington, Of the ?. NJ 5. s line. on the 2ls.
inst, 50 confidently expected by our people,
caused no little comment among merchants
and business men generally. We confess TO
have shared IN the general disappointment
ourselves; and this led us 10 make inquiry as
70 the cause Of the WIluiagtou's failure 10 put
IN an appearance at the time sppointed
The rasals Of cur inquiry Is. that the con
Tract between the Hawaiian government and
tie P. " s. s. company, having expired by
irs own limitation, aud the fact that the VIII
rningt0u not being the class Of steamship sat
isfactozy 20 our government, the latter informed
theP. " 5. 5. company that, unless they would
consent TO place upon the route between San
Francisco and Honolulu, larger aud better
appointed ship than the Wilmington. as an in
tsrnsdiats steamer, the company need not
send her (the Wilmington back to this port,
under any contract, or supposed contract with
this government Hence, the reason why she
has not arrived. In this connection it is proper
70 state, that inAsmueh as the recent Act
passed by the Hawaiian Legislative Assem-
bly, granting subsidy 10 the P. N. s S. Co,
which Act places the whole matter Of the con-
tract with the Ministry, we are authorized 70
say, that no contract will be made with the P
NJ 5. 5 company TO pay 4 subsidy, unless the
company shall stipulate 70 place steamer Of
such class as TO tonnage, and other requisites
As viii De satisfactory TO the government, of
which the Ministry are 70 be the judges, to ply
between san Francisco and HoaoIuIu, with
regularity and on schedule time
If the P. N. 5. 5. company do not think
proper 70 enter into such ! contract, there viii
be no1e made, and the subsidy appropriated
viii rsalain IN the Treasury, until proper and
satisfactory arrangements can be made with
other competent parties, as the exigeucies Of
the commerce Of these Islands may warrant.
Mr.. Wilder, our present Minister Of the Inte-
nor, IS live business man. and will see 10 it
that the interests Of the government IN this, as
in sll other cases, shall not suffer from neglect
OF tiuidity, no matter who the parties are
with whom be nay come in contact.
We are pleased TO know the real cause of
the failure Of the Wilmington to arrive here,
and also TO chronicle the facts, relative 10 the
subsidy for steamships, authorized by the late
Assembly.
