The Mails viâ Marseilles will be made up in London on the 8th and 24th, and leave at 8 F.M. Sixty hours are allowed for transit through France and shipment at Marseilles.
The vessels from Marseilles and those from Southampton will then arrive at Malta at the same time.
The Steamers from Calcutta will arrive at Sucz 48 hours previous to the arrival at Alexandria
of the corresponding Steamers from Southampton.
The Steamer leaving Suez on the 21st of the month having the London Mails of the 4th and 8th of the month will be met at Galle on the 8th of the following month by the Steamer from Bombay to China, to which will be transferred the Mails for China.
The Steamer leaving Suez on the 7th of the month having on board the London Mails of the 20th and 24th of the previous month will be met at Galle, on the 24th of the same month in which it left Suez, by the Steamer from Bombay to China, to which will be transferred the Mails for China.
The ordinary stay at Suez will be 120 hours, unless the Mail from England shall have previously arrived, in which case she shall leave Suez with Her Majesty's Mails as soon as coals can be got on board and the requisite repairs to the vessel and her machinery can be effected.
The Steamers to be at liberty (from the month of October to the month of March inclusive) to touch at Cosseir in the Red Sea, both on their outward and homeward voyage, the stoppage at that point in no case to exceed 3 hours.
The Departures from Calcutta will be five days earlier in the months of May, June, and July, in consequence of the south-west monsoon.
The stay at Madras on the voyage to Suez may be prolonged 24 hours, and on the voyage from Suez 12 hours, if specially ordered in writing by the Admiralty Agent, but in no case must exceed that time.
The stay at Galle may in like manner be prolonged, in case of the non-arrival of the steamer from Hong Kong with the China and Australian Mails; the total stay must not, however, exceed 120 hours, unless the vessel with the China and Australian Mails shall be in sight.
The stay at Suez may be prolonged in case of the non-arrival of the Steamer at Alexandria to 168 hours, but no longer, unless the said Steamer be telegraphed at the expiration of that period as in sight at Alexandria.
In the event of a railway being constructed across Egypt from Alexandria to Suez and the Mails being conveyed at a greater speed than the passengers, such reasonable delay shall be allowed between the embarkation of the Mails and the sailing of the Steamers from either of the above-mentioned ports as may be considered by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to be necessary for the arrival and embarkation of the passengers.
