§ Lord C. BERESFORDasked the Postmaster-General whether he has received a letter from the Dublin Steam Packet Company asking for protection of the Holyhead and Kingstown mail steamers; if so, has he forwarded the letter to the Admiralty; and what is the Admiralty reply?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEI received such a letter from the company, and referred the matter to the Admiralty. The purport of the Admiralty reply has been communicated to the company, but it would not be in the public interest to publish it.
