The opening of the Suez

a complete
revolution in the class of vessels by
which the intercourse with these Ports is kept up. Whereas they used
to be served to
a very great extent by sailing ships, sailing ships
are now more

the China Sea, and, for
Postal purposes, many may

with Contract Packets in

in the House of Commons I observe that the British Mercantile Marine has been sextupled since 1865. This
