Thursday, the 12. h i net., Is the last day for the
reception by the government of tenders for conveying the
Australian. malt. The route and the size of the mail
packeis have been definitively settled. There cannot be a
doubt but what the tenders that will be examised ma
Thursday will lead to a graetioal result, sad the Daly subject

Peninsular aml Oriental Company weald radars that the
governmest had chose' the Panama route; hat the Egyp-
tian and Point de Clalic route having bees determined on,
it will be the policy of that company to eadmvour to obtain
the contrast if possible, lactase of the danger of allowing
a new company to ran a rival lies of packets between
England cud Poist de Gale. In feet, the directors
of the °relict I: Con par; said as mach, in their half-yearly
rsportjust issued; for they stated there that they purposed
tendering for the contract, although they believed it would
be an anprofi tibia one. There is 00 company that caa offer
such favourable terms to the government as the Peoinnslar
and Orientsl Directory. If aey other persons obtain the
contract, it will be months., probably, before its execntios
can be commenced ; whereas, if the Oriental Company ob-
tain it, they can commerce immedia,ely ; and this is •
matter of the greatest importance, considering the delay
that has taken place in esteblishing a steam packet comma-
