ADVERTISEMENT CONCERNING THE OVERLAND

ROUTE við TRIESTE.

THE DIRECTORs of the Austrian Lloyd's Steam Navigation ComPANT have informed us, that from and after the 10th of October past, a steamer will ply regularly on the 10th of each month on the Direct Line between Trieste and Alexandria, so as to correspond with the Hon. E. I. Co.'s Bombay steamer; and from and after the 25th of November past a steamer will ply regularly on the 25th of each month on the direct line between Trieste and Alexandria, so as to correspond with the P. & O. Co.'s Steamers from Galle.

The AUSTRIAN LLOYD'S Company will have five steamers available for this line, each of them between 600 and 700 tons burthen, and 260 horse- power. They are fitted up in a superior style, and English is spoken on board. The number of BEREAS in each is as under, viz :—

38 First Class, including 16 for Ladies. 20 Second Class,,,

The fares to be-£18 for first class, and ing table money and steward's fees.

7 for Females.

£12 for second class, includ-

The voyage is expected not to exceed 5 or 5 days; and as quarantine is calculated from the day of leaving Alexandria, these vessels being provid- ed with health officers, it follows that, with a clean bill of health, pas- sengers will get pratique immediately on arrival at Trieste.

For letters to England, superscribed "vid Trieste," an "Over-sea" charge is made of 18 kreutzer (about 74 cents) per oz., and half this rate for every additional oz. Any one wishing to send letters to Englud via Trieste may pay the "over-sea" rate into our hands, and address them to the care of the Austrian Lloyd's Agency at Alexandria, franking them to Egypt. LETTERS to the European Continent vid Trieste, may likewise be ad- dressed to the care of the said agency, the franking to Alexandría being attended to; and for these the prepayment of the "over-sea" postage is not required.

PACKAGES for Egypt or any part of the Continent of Europe or the Levant, should be addressed to the care of some one at Suez, as the P. & O. Co. do not engage to deliver anything not intended for England beyond that landing port, where transit or other duties must be paid; and to insure as much dispatch as possible, a Bill of Lading, with particulars of value, &c., should be sent to the forwarder at Suez. ·

For Passage, or for further particulars, apply to WM. PUSTAU & Co., Agents at Canton and Hongkong for the Imperial Royal Priv. Austrian Lloyd's Steam Navigation Company.
