MR H. BERKELEYsaid, he would beg to inquire whether any tenders for the conveyance of mails between England and the Cape of Good Hope, and also for extending the same to the Mauritius, India, and homewards, had been received; whether any decision had been arrived at; and, in the event of a decision being arrived at, whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer would have any objection to lay on the table copies of those tenders?
§ MR. WILSON,in reply, said, that several tenders for the conveyance of the mails in question had been received, and were under the consideration of the Government, who would probably decide upon them in the course of to-morrow. When the question was determined, there would be no objection to lay upon the table copies of the tenders.
