In the Letter which I addressed lipour Lordships on the 14th July last, proposing to transfer to the contioul of the local Governments the several Colonial Post Offices which still remain under the direction of this Departinent, the Post Office of Hong Kong was made an exception, because it was understood that the Governor of that Colony would himself make a proposal to Hill's Government on the subject at au carly date.
A Private Letter has been received
from Sir flen Bowring, in which he conices hesreadiness to come to an undrelanding on this pount; but, as he makes no distinct proposal, I think it advisable that Hill's Government should take the initiative;

I AM directed by The Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's

in which he suggests that the control of the Post Offices in the British Colonies
in the West Indies should be surrendered to the Colonial Governments, and I
am to request that you will lay the same before Sir William Molesworth, and
move him to favour their Lordships with his opinion upon this proposal.

To the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury.
No. 2.
MY LORDS,
THE difficulty of exercising in a satisfactory manner the necessary control over Post Offices in the Colonies induces me to suggest, for the consideration of your Lordships, the advisability of surrendering that control, in most of the cases where it now rests with Her Majesty's Postmaster General, to the respective Colonial Governments.
At present the Postmasters in the following Colonies are under the jurisdiction of this Office, viz.: Hong Kong, Jamaica, Bermuda, Bahamas, Windward and Leeward Islands (Barbadoes excepted), and British Guiana.
In the North American Provinces, Newfoundland, Trinidad, and Barba- does, the control of the Posts, formerly exercised by Her Majesty's Postmaster, has already been given up.
As regards Hong Kong, it is understood that the present Governor, Sir John Bowring, will himself shortly propose that the Post Office in that Colony shall be placed under local management, and it only remains, therefore, to deal with the West India Colonies.
Should your Lordships concur in the course here suggested, perhaps you will be good enough to ascertain whether Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies sees any objection to the arrangement.
If the proposed arrangement be adopted, the Post Office in each Colony will be entitled to one penny, out of the uniform rate of sixpence, per single letter, which is now charged upon Colonial correspondence to and from the United Kingdom; and, on the other hand, each Colony will be required to bear all the expenses of its Post Office, which are now defrayed by this Department.
The prepayment of postage may still continue optional, both in the United Kingdom and in the Colonies, accounts being made out monthly, as at present, and the balance on either side being remitted, in such manner as may be determined upon.
I do not propose to disturb the existing arrangements in Malta and Gibraltar, at each of which places a Packet Agent, performing similar duties to those of a Postmaster, is stationed, because they must be considered Military Garrisons rather than Colonies, and there are obvious reasons why the Agents should remain subordinate to this Department. At Malta, more especially, the duties connected with the overland Indian Mails, and those arising from Malta being the centre of the operations of the French Mail Packets in the Mediterra- nean, render it absolutely necessary that the Post Office should be under the control of Her Majesty's Postmaster General.
SIR,
DOWNING STREET,
27th August, 1855.
In reply to your letter of 31 ultimo, I am directed by Secretary
Sir W. Molesworth to acquaint you, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, that he has no objection to the proposal of the Postmaster General that the control of the Post Offices in the West Indies should be surrendered to the Colonial Governments.
Sir W. Molesworth desires me, however, to point out to their Lordships, that under the provisions of the 12th and 13th Vic. cap. 66, it will be within the legal discretion of the respective Legislatures to alter the rates of postage for the delivery of letters, not only at inland stations in each Colony, but also at the port of arrival.
The charges to be levied for the delivery of letters at inland stations in a Colony may most properly be decided by the Local Legislature; but it would appear to Sir W. Molesworth very desirable, and especially for the interests of the commercial classes, whose establishments are usually situated at the ports of arrival of the Mail Steamers, that no change should be made in the present charge of sixpence for each single rate of postage on letters arriving from England. But as it is uncertain whether the Colonial Governments will be satisfied with the charge of one penny, which, according to the proposed arrangements, would be surrendered to them upon each single rate of postage, it will be for the consideration of their Lordships whether the possible inconvenience which would arise from such a variation in the rates of postage to different Colonies affords a sufficient reason for postponing the consideration of the proposed measure, or for previous
for previous communication with the officers administering the government, in order that the views of the respective Legislatures should be ascertained before a final decision is taken.

SIR,
WITH reference to Mr. Elliot's letter, dated 27th August last,
relative to the proposal of the Postmaster-General that the control of the Post
Offices in the Colonies in the West Indies should be surrendered to the Colonial
Governments, I am directed by the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's
Treasury to transmit to you herewith copy of a letter from the Postmaster-
General, dated 27th ultimo, upon the subject, and I am to request you will
move Secretary Sir William Molesworth to take the necessary steps for ascer-
taining the views of the several Colonial Governments in the West Indies on
this matter.
I am, &c.,
1 HAVE the honour to return the Letter from the Colonial Office, dated the 27th ultimo, on the subject of the proposal which I made to your Lordships in my letter of the 14th July last, to surrender to the respective Colonial Governments in the West Indies the control of their Post Offices.
may think
Sir William Molesworth offers no objection to the arrangement contem- plated, but points out that in the event of the several Colonial Governments assuming the control of their own Posts, they will have the full right, under the provisions of the Act of 12 & 13 Vict., capt. 66, to make any alteration they proper in the amount of postage at present levied upon their corres- pondence with the United Kingdom; and while expressing his opinion that it is desirable for the interests of the commercial classes that no change should be made in this repect, he foresees the probability of the wishes of the Colonies not being unanimous in favour of the present sixpenny rate of postage.
Under these circumstances, and as I agree with Sir W. Molesworth in opinion that any variation in this uniform rate would, doubtless, be attended with considerable inconvenience, I have to suggest that before proceeding further with this measure, your Lordships will be good enough to communicate again on this subject with Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies, requesting him to ascertain the views entertained by the Governors of the several Colonies upon this important point.

GOVERNMNET NOTIFICATION.
With reference to the provision of "the Passengers' Act 1852" restricting the number of Passengers to which the required space of Twelve feet has been allotted to one for every two Tons of the ship's registered burthen, the Emigration Officer has been instructed to apply to all ships a uniform standard of measurement, namely that now or hereafter to be employed for ascertaining the capacity of British Vessels. Ships not registered under the latest Imperial Acts must therefore procure from the Gov- ernment Surveyor a certificate of their actual capacity before they can be passed by the Emigration Officer.

THE following Testimonials from the Judges of the Superior Courts in Ireland, the most distinguished members of the Irish Bar, and the Senior Fellows of the University of Dublin, have been presented to Robert Foster Mullins, Esq., Barrister-at-Law, of Great Charles-street, Dublin, one of the Crown Counsel on the Munster Circuit :-
From the Right Hon. D. R. Pigot, Lord Chief Baron of Her Majesty's Court of Exchequer in Ireland.
89, Leeson-street, 20th February, 1850.
MY DEAR MULLINS-I most readily give you the attestation of my knowledge of you, which you desire, since you are of opinion that you may possibly find it useful to refer to it. I am sorry that this is all I can do towards aiding you in your present views; but, as I mentioned to you, I do not interfero in the distribution of Government patronage. I say this although you made no request of me to do so, because from the footing on which we have stood towards each other, you might very fairly expect that if I had the power to serve you I would exert it.
We went the Munster Circuit together for several years, and from an early period of our acquaintance I watched your career in the profession with an interest which it was natural that I should feel in the carcer of a friend of Sir Michael O'Loghlen. I was prepared to think bighly of your talents and attain- ments, and what I saw of you, both on circuit and in town, more than fulfilled that expectation.
I have not the least doubt that you would fill with efficiency, ability, temper, and credit, any legal situation, ministerial or judicial, to which you may be appointed in any of our dependencies. You appear to me to have studied the profession well ; and I regret that you should deem it more advisable to look abroad for advancement than to seek and await it at home.
Wherever you are it will give me sincere gratification to hear of your welfare, and with best wishes for your prosperty and happiness,
I remain, dear Mullins, very faithfully yours,
D. R. PIGOT, Chief Baron.
Robert Foster Mullins, Esq., 17, Great Charles-street.
From the Ilonorable Justice Torrens, Senior Puisne Judge of Her Majesty's Court of Common Pleas in Ireland.
Grenville-street, Dublin, March 23rd, 1852. MY DEAR SIR-I have great pleasure in responding to your request to add my testimony to the many distinguished persons who have certified their opinion of your professional merits. Having had the satisfaction of witnessing your method of conducting business, both on your circuit and in the superior courts, I feel no difficulty in giving it as my opinion that I consider you well qualified, from your time of life, standing at the bar, and from your experience and practice, to fill a judicial or legal official situation in some of our Indian presidencies, or in some of our principal oolonial
possessions Your distinguished course in our University, and the succession of its honors which you obtained, guarantees to the public the appointment of a scholar, whilst your professional attainments, founded on the basis of diligence and learning, give a well founded assurance that in your judicial or official capacity you will fulfill the expectations of your friends.
I regret that the depression of all legal business in this country, owing to the calamitous times we have experienced, should induce you to seek for professional advancement elsewhere than in your own country.
Believe me, dear Sir, with earnest wishes for your welfare and success,
Your's faithfully,
ROBERT TORRENS,
Senior Puisne Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in Ireland.
To Robert Foster Mullins, Esq., Barrister, Dublin.
From the Right Hon. John Richards, one of the Barons of Her Majesty's Court of Exchequer in Ireland
Castle Park, Dalkey, January 23rd, 1850.
DEAR SIR-Iu reply to your application to me, I feel that you are entitled to an expression of my opinion, such as you desire, if you consider that such a matter can be of use to you. In compliance, therefore, with your wishes, I shall, if applied to, be at all times ready to state that I have seen you employed professionally on the Munster Circuit on different occasions, and that I always considered that you conducted your business in a very creditable manner.
I am, dear Sir, your's very faithfully,
JOHN RICHARDS.
To Robert Foster Mullins, Esq., Barrister-at-law.
From the Right Hon. N. Ball, one of the Justices of Her Majesty's Court of Common Pleas in Ireland. Stephen's green, February 10.
MY DEAR SIR-Having been requested by you to state what I know of your qualifications for an appointment connected with your profession of the bar, I feel gratified in being able to say, that from the experience I have had of your practice on the many occasious when I have gone the Munster Circuit, I consider you fitted for any position to which capacity and knowledge of his profession, entitle a barrister to be appointed.
R. F. Mullins, Esq.
I am, my dear Sir, most faitfully your's,
N. BALL.
From the Right Hon. Richard Moore, one of the Justices of Her Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland.
March 25th, 1852.
MY DEAR SIR-As you seem to think that the expression, of my opinion of your professional and private character may be of service to you, I with pleasure comply with your request. When I filled the office of Attorney-General for Ireland, you were recommended to me by Mr. Bennett, the leader of the Munster Circuit, as a fit person to be appointed one of the Counsel to Prosecute for the Crown, and acting on that recommendation, and the result of my own inquiries, I appointed you to that office. have since had judicial opportunities of witnessing your professional conduct, and I willingly bear testimony to your ability in the discharge of your duty on circuit and in town, and also to your gentlemanly character and deportment.
Believe me, dear, Sir, very truly your's,
To Robert Foster Mullins, Esq., Great Charles-street.
RICHARD MOORE,

From the Right Hon. Francis Blackburne, Ex-Chief Justice of IIer Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench, and also Ex-Chancellor of Ireland.
1st February, 1851.
From the testimonials of the very eminent members of the Munster Circuit in favor of Mr. Mullins and from my knowledge of his character, I have no hesitation in saying that he is eminently qualified Lo fill the office of Professor of Law, for which, as he informs me, he means to be a candidate.
F. BLACKBURNE, Chief Justice.
[The above testimonial was received from the Right Hon. Francis Blackburne, then Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench, and afterwards Lord Chancellor of Ireland, when Mr. Mullins intended to offer himself a candidate for the Professorship of Law then vacant.]
From Master Murphy.
24th January, 1950, Chancery Office, Four Courts. MY DEAR MULLINS-I am happy to be called upon to state my opinion of your professional and private character.
This I am fully enabled to do, from a long and perfect acquaintance with both having been for many years a fellow-laborer with you on circuit, during which time, as well as since my appointment to my present office, our friendship has always been intimate and uninterrupted. With these means of knowledge, and uninfluenced by any partial impressions which they might naturally create, I can safely undertake the responsibility (for such I do consider it) of strongly recommending your claims to a professional appointment.
Your practice at the bar has, as far as my observation and information can reach, been marked by zeal, diligence, and ability; and, moreover, by gentleman-like bearing, and a high sense of honor and self-respect-I have said information, because I have several times, in your absence, heard the Judges on circuit, and the leading members of our bar, who practised in the Criminal Court, speak in the very highest terms of the manner in which you have conducted the cases entrusted to you; and I know that there were very few persons of whom my lamented and admirable friend, Sir Michael O'Loghlen, entertained a higher opinion, or for whom he felt a more sincere regard.
I am old-fashioned enough to think that literary and classical acquirements may, even in our practical day, have some influence in the selecton of persons to fill public appointments when combined with adequate professional knowledge; and if so, your high college reputation, of which you can have no difficulty in procuring testimonials, ought to be of use to you. I will conclude by saying, most sincerely, that upon every ground, public, professional, and personal, you have my earnest wishes for your success in obtaining a suitable appointment, and that you are at liberty to make use of this letter in any way in which you or your friends may deem beneficial
Your's truly,
JEREMIAH JOHN MURPHY, M.C.
To Robert Foster Mullins, Fsq, From Montifort Longfield, Esq., LL.D. and Q.C., one of the Commissioners for the Sale of Incumbered Estates in Ireland.
Fitzwilliam-square, February 25th, 1850.
MY DEAR SIR-I feel much pleasure in observing that your success in your profession, and the high opinion entertained of you by our legal brethren correspoud with the expectations which your distinguished career in the University led your friends to entertain.
From your general attainments, I feel no doubt that you will honorably fill any legal post to which you may be appointed either at home or in one of the Colonies.
I am, dear Sir, your's faithfully,
R. Foster Mullins, Esq.
From Sergeant O'Brien. MR.
M. LONGFIELD.
22nd January, 1850, 92, Stephen's-green.
MY DEAR MULLINS—I understand that you are about applying for some legal appointment, and
I feel great pleasure in stating my opinion of your qualifications for promotion.
Our acquaintance has been one of many years, and the various intercourses I have had with you enable me to add my testimony to that of others as to your legal knowledge and ability, your uniform. diligence in your profession, and the correct and honorable manner in which you have acted in the discharge of your business. I am sure your promotion would be a source of gratification to many your professional friends, and that upon trial you would justify the opinion we have formed of you.
Believe me, your's sincerely,
JAMES O'BRIEN.

MY DEAR MULLINS-In reply to your wish expressed that I should state my opinion of you as a barrister and gentleman, I have great pleasure in stating that having known you on my circuit for above twelve years, I can certify to your gentlemanly conduct, your professional diligence and ability, and your correct and efficient discharge of your business, and should feel happy to recommend you for any situation in your profession to which you may look. Indeed I have already given a specimen of my high opinion of you when I recommended you to be employed as one of my assistants in the Crown prosecu- tions on the Munster Circuit, which I did about four years ago, as well as I recollect. You are quite at liberty to refer any person whatever to me to give you my recommendation, which I will feel a pleasure in doing.
I remain, my dear Mullins, faithfully yonr's,

From Jonathan Henn, Esq., Q.C.
Upper Merrion-street, 15th January, 1850,
MY DEAR MULLINS-As I have gone the Munster Circuit ever since you joined it and have had ample opportuuity of observing your conduct, I feel happy in bearing my testimony to your diligent attention, and to the ability with which you have uniformly discharged your professional duties. I assure you it will give me great pleasure to hear that you have been appointed to some really good situation. I mean such a one as may gratify your own honorable ambition, and as your merits in my opinion entitle you to expect.
Believe me, very sincerely your's.

J. HENN.
15, Harcourt-street, 25th January, 1850. MY DEAR MULLINS-You are fully entitled to call upon me for my opinion as to your professional character and qualifications, though it cannot be of any service to you in furthering the object which you bave in view of obtaining a professional appointment from the Government.
I have had the pleasure of meeting you in professional intercourse for many years, and it may
be sufficient to say that my experience of your legal attainments and personal character fully accords with the high testimonials you have received from Mr. Bennett and Mr. Henn-men whose good opinion, whatever may be your fortunes in life, you may be justly proud of having acquired.
I have no doubt you will discharge the duties of any office to which you may be appointed with ef ciency aud advantage to the public, and I regret that I can contribute to your success only by my good opinion and good wishes.
Believe me, my dear Mullins, your's very faithfully,
HENRY MARTLEY.

From Grald Fitzgibbon, Esq., Q.C.
January 25th, 1850.
MY DEAR MULLINS--I have had the pleasure of knowing you at the bar, both as a friend and a lawyer, almost since you were called to the profession, and have been concerned in cases with you. I should feel it much easier to express the opinion which I entertain of you to any other self. I can very truly say that I know very few of your standing at the bar, better qualified as to pro- person than your- fessional acquirements, and none superior in moral and gentlemanly deportment to you. It is due to you, and to those who have to select from our profession, persons of ability and integrity for public offices to express
the result of my intercourse with you, and I do so with perfect confidence, that you will do credit to the judgment of those who may appoint you to any office requiring legal ability and moral integrity in the person filling it.
I am, my dear Mullins, very sincerely yours, Robert Foster Mu"ins, Esq.

MY DEAR MULLINS-I am very glad to hear you are likely to get promotion, and with great pleasure add my testimonial to the many you have already got of your qualifications as a lawyer and a gentleman.
The very great distinction with which you passed through the University is the best evidence of your abilities, in addition to which, from twelve or thirteen years acquaintance at the bar, I can answer for your continued attention, good temper, and good sense. I have no doubt that you will perform the duties of whatever office you may get with credit to yourself, and in every respect to the satisfaction of those who may appoint you, With best wishes for your success believe me always,
Very truly your's,
JOHN PLUNKET.
To Robert Foster Mullins, Esq., Barrister-at-law. From the Rev. Thomas Luby, D.D., Rogius Professor of Greek, and Senior Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin
Trinity College, Dublin, December 17th, 1849.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. R. F. Mullins, Barrister-at-law, for ruany years during his course through College.
FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END HIS COLLEGE CAREER WAS MARKED BY DISTINCTIONS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER, He obtained first place at entrance, several First-Class Classical honors, FIRST OF THE NIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS, and A GOLD MEDAL AND ETHICAL MODERATORSHIP AT HIS DEGREE EXAMINA- TION. His character, religious and moral, always appeared to me quite uncxceptionable, and his conluct most gentleman-like and exemplary.
I feel assured from my knowledge of him, that in whatever official position he may be placed, h

will discharge its duties with ability and efficiency.
To R. F. Mullins, Esq., 17, Great Charles-street.
From the Rev. George Sidney Smith, formerly Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin.
December 13th, 1849.
I had abundant opportunities of knowing the conduct and character of Mr. Robert Foster Mullins (now a member of the Irish bar), having been his College Tutor during his residence in the University of Dublin, a period of seven years.
He distinguished himself from the first by obtaining the highest honors. His place at entrance marked him as the most prominent Classical Scholar of his Class; this character he maintained by carrying off successive prizes until the Scholarship Examination, when he achieved the high distinction of the first Scholarship.
Subsequently he obtained a Moderatorship and Medal at his Degree Examination in Logical and Ethical Science.
I have pleasure in adding that the conduct of Mr. Mullins was marked by great diligence, regularity, sobriety of deportment, and moral principle during his honorable College career.
GEORGE SIDNEY SMITH, D.D., formerly Fellow and Tutor of Trinity College, Dublia. To R. F. Mullins, Esq., 17, Great Charles-street.
From the Rev. James H. Todd, D.D., Senior Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. R. F. Mullins during his residence in the University, where he distinguished himself by obtaining many of the highest Undergraduate honors.
His character as a gentleman, and as a religious and conscientious man, won him the esteem and respect of all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.
JAMES H. TODD, D.D., Senior Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin. To R. F. Mallins, Esq., 17, Great Charles-street. From the Rev, S. Butcher, D.D., Regius Professor of Divinity, and Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin.
Trinity College, Dublin, December 24th, 1849.
I have had the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with Mr. R. F. Mullins, Barrister-at-law, since the period when he first entered the University of Dublin.
His University career has been one of very eminent distinction. At the Entrance Examination he obtained the first place; at the subsequent Term Examinations he was equally successful, having obtained several Classical Honors of the First Class.
He was the first of the University Scholars in his year, and at his Degree Examination came out with an Ethical Moderatorship of the highest Class, and a Gold Medal.
His morat conduct I have always regarded as most exemplary, and in his deportment I have always found him most strictly correct and gentleman-like.
From all that I know of his attainments and character, I feel satisfied that the duties of any official station in which Mr. Mullius might be placed, would be discharged by him with credit to himself and advantage to others.
