Mr. Forsyth, M.L.A., was soon by a repro: sentative of the Briidane Daily Mail with respect to the new facilities which Measts. Burns, Philp and Co. have decided to give with a view to encouraging Queensland trade with the East. For the past 12 months Messrs. Burns, Philp and. Co. have been running the steamships Guthrie and Airlie from Sydney, These vessels comprise the only direct line that run between Australia, Singapore, and the East. The first port of call after leaving Sydney, under the new arrangement, is Samaral, in New Guinea. New Britain is then touched at, and after that German New Guinea, | Port Moresby, in British New Guinea, is the next port of call, and thence the vessels ga lo Thursday Island. A run is then made to the Dutch East Indies. The island of Banda is the next place visited, and after that Amboyna is reached. Thence the steamers sail for Macassar, the principal port of the large island of Celebes, and from Celeb:* the steamers go to Singapore,
If sufficient inducement offers later, Messte, Burns, Philp may cause the vessels to call at Samarang. in Jaya, Sourabaya, Batavia, and [139 thence go direct to Singapore. Mr. Forsyth
