Atlas and Co., 7, Leadenhall-street. " From the head of the Persian Gulf it Is nearly a straight course by steamer to the terminus of the Scinde Railway at the Port of Kurrachee, and communication being thus established with the Indus, the connection with all the most important points of our Indian possessions will be increased to a degree calculated to create another revolution in our ideas, equal to that originally produced by the organisation of the existing transit as compared with that of the Cape. A glance at the map, taking the Austrian railways to Trieste, thence by steamer to Selucia, thence by railway, via Aleppo, to the Euphrates, and thence by river and ocean steamers to Kurrachee, exhibits a directness which, looking at the distance travermid, is almost unexampled, and begets, when the evidence respecting the absence of natural obstacles is also considered, a conviction that on • account of its political, no less than its financial and commercial, importance it will be regarded as one of the most prominent among the several objects to which the conclusion of peace enables attention to be turned."—The Times, May 20th, 1856.
