§ MR. CAIRNSsaid, he begged to ask the Secretary of the Treasury whether, in the contemplated postal arrangements with Ireland, the Treasury had considered the requirements of trade in the provinces as well as in Dublin; and whether any communication on the subject had been made to any of the Chambers of Commerce in Ireland except that of Dublin, or whether any such communication would be made before any tender was accepted?
§ MR. WILSONsaid, no communication was made to any other Chamber of Commerce than that of Dublin, but the careful attention of the Government was directed to the interests and convenience of the provincial parts of Ireland; so much so, that he had no doubt they would derive the greatest benefit from the new arrangements.
