MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY
ON MESSENGER SERVICE

NEW YORK. August 21.-A dispatch to |
the Journal and Advertiser from London /
says.
The Marquis Of Londonderry. the rev
Postmaster General. has brought down a
veritable hornets nest about the ears Of
the Government by the announcement OF
his determination to suppress the district
messenger service here I'm the metropolis.
in Liverpool. In Manchester. Leeds and
other big cities and towns.
The reason given BY the Marquis for
this, extraordinary move is that the dis
trict messenger companies are encroach-
INK upon the prerogatiyes Of the State.
which claims the monopoly OF the convey
ance OF messages 10y letter and by wire.
In no civilized country Is the postal and
telegraph service more abominabie than

sCribers were provided with call boxes,
and as the messenger offices remained
open on sunday and all night and insured
a rapid and sure delivery of letters, the

sable 20 the public.
The messengers have become especially
Indispensable since the nomination OF
Lord Londonderry TO the Postmaster Cen
.eralship last spring. Appointed in order
10 stop his attacks upon the Government.
Lord Londonderry signalized his assump-
ton OF the office by proclaiming that he
knew nothing whatsoever about postal
matters.
To the abuse lavished upon him in con-
neCtion Herewith the Marquis has nov
responded by announcing his intention OF
suppressing the district messenger ser

cities is far less than between New York

here, and this would materially reduce
the cost of running fast steamboats,.
The cost Of the railroad proper will
probably exceed 100000, while the bridge
across the Straits will cost 5000 600 more.
The bridge will be built Of steel and will
be about three-quarters of a mile long.
