§ MR. CAVEsaid, he wished to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, When the two new Contracts with the West India and Pacific Steamship Company for carrying Mails to Jamaica, &c, will be laid on the table?
MR. PEELsaid, in reply, that only one contract had been entered into with this Company, of which a copy was laid on the table that evening. The contract was for the two services, and being terminable at six months' notice, had no clause suspending it until it had been one month before the House.
