Australian Colonies and New Zealand, intended
to be forwarded from this country via South-
ampton, will in future be made up in London on
the morning of the 20th of each month, instead
of on the 12th, and the Mails to be forwarded
viâ Marseilles will be made up on the evening
of the 26th, instead of on the 18th of the
month.

On those occasions when the 20th of the
month falls on Sunday, the Mails for Australia
will be made up on the previous evening, and
when the 26th of the month falls on Sunday,
the Mails will be made up on the following
evening.

Ceylon will no longer be despatched on the

Commencing with the month of July, the
