CORRESPONDENCE.

San Francisco Mail Sorvico.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir, — I am sorry I was obliged to leave tho meeting of tho Chamber of Commerce yesterday beforo tho discussion on the report enmo on. I intended to have urged that in tho new contract cf our mail service to England, attention should be paid to so timing tho departure of tho mails at oach ond that advantage should bo taken of the splendidsorviceoi quicksteamers nowrun by tlio Cunard Company on the Atlantic. These steamers leave Liverpool and Neu York every Saturday, and if our mails are run in connection with thorn, wo may got a 33 days sorvice to England, and a 34 days servico from England. That thero is no diiliculty about the matter ie evidenced by tho fact that it hns already boon accom plished by tho present servico. Tho mail hence on June 23rd was carried by stoam fhip Australia to San Francisco in 470 hours, or 19 days 1.4 hours. She leii here on a Tuesday, and would thus be ar riving in 'Frisco »n a Monday morning oarly. There is, however, a gain in timo of about 'Id hours, which brings it to about noon ol Sunday, and at that time she arrived, and her mails loft by tho train for New York that afternoon, arriving thero the following Saturday in time for tho Cunard stoamer that day, which delivered them the following Saturday early in Queenstown and tho follow ing morning in London, making a total of 3. days from Auckland. Put side by eido with this tho last mail which left hero, Septombor 15th, again carried by s.s Aus tralia, and which I havo no doubt mado tho run to 'Frisco in about tho samo timo as sho rcachod thero on Monday last, but it will bo remembered sho loft hero somo twolvo hours behind timo. Tho effect of not making the right connec tion in 'Frisco is that her mails will roach Mow York noxt Sunday, and will probably lio ovor there until Wednesday, and then go by ono of tho 8-day service steamers and roach London on tho duo dato, or 38 days from here. It would be advisablo to make as little alteration as possiblo from tho times of the present sorvico, but if tho full 20 days ie occupied, it will bo necessary to mako the timo of departure from here about 9 o'clock in tho morning. This would onablo the mails to bo delivered in San Francisco boforo 2 o'clock on tho Sunday, and iv London in 14 days from that timo. Tho return mails should leave London on tho Saturday, Queenstown ou Sunday, and loavo New York on the following Saturday evening, and so on, reaching here in 31 days. Any of our mails for the last three months would havo roached horo quite as quickly had they left London two days later; they would have beon brought by tho Cunard Company's steamer Etruria, which has beon making the run in under (ii days, or an average of about 440 miles each day. This Company will soon have tho Umbria and Oregon sot at liberty by tho Government, when they will have three steamers iv tho sorvico to do the passage in 6£ days. Wo ought to bo in a position to tako advantage of this quick ser vice of steamers. If our contractors have any enterpriso about them, I expect thoy will show us soon that 20 days Is too long a time for them, especially if tho Oceanic Com pany mean to do the distance from San Francisco to Hoholulu at tho speed of 1C knots an hour, the whole service, including stoppages, boing calculated at only 124 knots.—l nra, &c, Joun Milne. October 10th.

Rev. H. Bull on Earl Shafte-bury.

Pousuant to announcement, the. Rev. H. Bull proached yesterday morniug at. Ponsonby ] Wesleyan Church, and at Plti-stioet Church at night, upon tho lifo of the above ominont philanthropist. Tho rov. gentltnianjchoso as h.'s text: 5 eh. Job, and 2G verse, " Thou shalt come to thy gravo in a full age. like as a shock of corn comcih in, in his season." As an exordium, he icferred to tho fact that in olden tiinei it was considered as a high honour and temporal bl.ising, and as a reward to the righteous, if a man lived lo a great old age, and great (wilfulness was tho expected heritage ot the people of God. God's promises wore, "length of days and long lite will I givo you if ye keep my statutes." Last j ear, 2D VVesl yan niaihteis paBBOd to their rest, and their average lifo was 70 } ears. Lord Shafcusbury was bori. in ISOI, and died ln 18S5. being thus iiiibls 84 th year The lirst lliou.ht presented by ihe li*e of this great man was the eminent nobility of his personal character. He had a noble ancesTy. Soma of his a* ceßtors swayed a mighty influence in the world's history. He was' an excellent classical scholar. If he had Bottled his mind to politics, he would have risen to the zenith of political honour as a statesman and orator. His greatness rested not upon his ancestry, but upon ihe spiritual and moral yruiideur of hit* whole manhood. He wag con verted at four yeard old, having: been trained in holy things by an old nurse ot tho family, and io her he ascribes, under God, a large amount of the influence which led him Into a Christian life. Secondly: His lito presented a picture 01 persistent, un-. elfish devotion to God's word. For fifty yoara he traveled* tho level path, and never eweived fioni what ho was poisuadcd was the right aud duty. Tho Queen herself, when a girl, must havo met and known Lord Ashley, as he was theu designated. It was he whoilrßt began the agitation and brought the Ten Hours Factory Bill into tho Biitish Parlia ment. He climbed up from sup to step to wealth aiid honou". Thiidij : ll.s life showed his broad und tvanuollcal vlewi. He was a cunßisteut member of the Church ef Eoglanil. yet all the churches claimed him as theirs. Ho hated to bo bound by ecclesiastical rules ; if these went against tho right, hi preferred the) should be c st lo the winds lather than wroig should prevail. Fourthly : A jieopat the great nets of his life s work. His great effort on the Ten Hours Factory Bill, which savtd the over «o;kitu of mare children, would be suflicientto oruealm his n.emory in every heart. To this aci he had great opposition. Sir Robert Peel and a hostof oihers. including mwh of tho manufao Hiring inteiest, stoutly fought againdt him. For 25 years he fought thecauso of the downtrodden masses, and was afterwaids crowned with sue .ccb'j ; I,ICO,CCO women and children wero bene fited ,by his nioisuro. Of course, other groat workers helped him, but lie was the maiD mover. Another great effort was his establish ment of the ragged .school system. He was the lead >,r of this movemo.it It wan said, Why not leave those lariikins to tho gaoler and the hangman ? but l;ot ho. He saw in them iho possibilities of a great future and luefulnesa, and he would savo them. It was said that 70 por cent, of crime was re duced by his ragged tohool si stem. 300.000 children In London wero rescued from sorrow and shame, and mado usef al citizens. Ho a'so employed his talonts in connection with ihe harmonising of science and religion. For this end ho hnlped to cs'ab'ish the Victoria Philo sophical lustitutc, aLd remained its patron as loDg us he lived. This Sooitty has re dored great usefulness to the Christian Church, and Hon.c excel cet publications have * boon issued from tho press under thii Society's auspico3. Ho took an active interest in the proper administration of Lunatic Asylums. Ho also took a prominent part in Parliament over the bill ci tho abolition of West Indian slavery. The poor chimney sweep boys found in the late Karl ono of their bestfriends. Hoholpedtoputa p riod to tho abominable praoticc of children as condlng chimneys aa swoopors.

Weil might tho words of the poet bo Bald re garding him—

" Servant of God, well done, Rest from thy loved employ : Thy batllo'a fought, thy victorj 'a won, Entor thy Mastor's joy." Tho rev. spiakcr then pointed out tho Earl's eatthly rewards. His SOlh birthday was cele brated by a monster gathering in London, of every class, position and calling, from the highest in the 1 md to the poorest shoeblack and costormongcr that frequents tho great metro pells. Tho Bight will long be rem, mbored of see ing theflowei'Rirlswhostrewcdtho path and plat form on that great occasion w.th ilowcrs. lie was ton hed -nd replied; "that it was nothe, but God who had dono It all.'- That last great gathering in Fxcter Hall, in May last, was a o*ost memorable occasion in such a nmn's history, 'tho word a whicli he uttered on the oc casion wore a fitting close to a great life. Tho rev. gentleman Eaid that this g, iteration has never seen such a social reformer and ono whese lifo has bi_on such a publio good.
