GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.
The attention of Owners, Masters, and Consignees of Vessels is once more called to the inconvenient practice of delaying, until immediately before the Vessel's depar- ture, to apply for the necessary alterations in the Certifi- cate of Registry.
It is also notified to all whom it may concern, that, except in cases of extreme urgency, it will be impossible to entertain such application, or to grant Certificates on Affidavit, of landing articles contraband of war, or to transact such and similar business at this Office, during the three days immediately preceding the outgoing of the Overland Mail for Europe.
