DEAR SIR,-We purpose despatching the S. S. Mecca for Australia, about the 2nd of next month with a full complement of passengers, say 363 or thereabouts. Of these, 300 will be Sailors, Firemen, Carpenters, Trimmers, Boatswains, &c., intended for service in the Company's steamers running out of Sydney, and under agreement to sign Articles upon arrival at Sydney, in the same manner as the 62 men per S. S. Gunga in May last, and 109 men per Ocean last month.
As soon as the present coal cargo of the Mecca is discharged, we will have her measured and apply in proper form for the necessary licence, but in the meantime we shall be much obliged by your letting us know if the same regulations with respect to detention in a depôt and double medical examination as were carried out in the case of the Ocean, will be all that is necessary, so as to enable us to set to work at once and engage the various crews.
We are, &c.,
GEO. R. STEVENS & Co., Agents, Australasian & N. Co. of Sydney.
