§ SIR JOHN SWINBURNE (Staffordshire, Lichfield)asked the Postmaster General, If there was any probability of the South African Colonies coming into the Postal Union?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University), in reply, said, he was afraid he could not hold out any hopes in that direction. The South African Colonies had been occasionally sounded on the subject; but at present they did not see their way to joining.
