INDIAN MAIL REGULATIONS.

The following mail packets are on the Calcutta
and Sues line:—The Bengal, Alma, Nubia, Bentinck, Hin-
dman, sad Ava. The following are on the Bombay and
Suez line :—The Ottawa, Singapore, Ganges, Banlay,
Madras, Pekin, Aden, Norma, and Cadiz. The packet Donald
to Saes from Calcutta may be detained a day at Madras, and
also Eve days at Point de Gale, in case the China packet has
not arrived there. The packet for Sues from Bombay is not
detained on her except to coal at Aden. Some of the
above- are slow and other. very het. It
would be most desirable if the authorities at Calcutta and
Bombay would send word every packet what steamer. they
despatching with the next homeward mails, because
rone knowledge in England of the speed of the steamers
In question it could be estimated pretty nearly
when they would arrive at Suez, and much anxiety
would be prevented thereby in this country. The Bombay
and Suez packets also trade between Bombay and China,
and the authorities at the former places should be desired to
sod the fast IMals to Suez and the slow ones to China. If
the Marseilles portion of the mall, either from Bombay or
Calcutta, which arrived first at Sues were hurried eases the
desert, it would reach Alexandria in about twelve hours.
It could then arrive at Marseilles, aid Caglieri, is five

to reach Marseille. even after it has started tram
Sues The last mail took thirteen days in reading
Marseilles after the first portion reached Suez. The gears-
went has one of its fastest steamere, the Cando:, at present
at Alexandria waiting for the Siamese ambassador. Why
not employ theCaradoc in running with an express portion of
the Indian mail during this anxious period f Her Majestfa
steamer, Desperate, which is at present also at Alexandra,
could attend neon the ambassador. Why not run a steamer
from Alexandria to Constantinople, and telegraph to Lendon
from the latter pbecoi The distance between Alex-
sable and Constantinople it not above halt so grist
so that between Alexandria and Cagliari, and
there is a telegraphic communication between London
and Constantinople. The Bombay mail usually arrives at
Suez first, because it has not the space to ran over nor the
etoppagea to make that the Calcutta mail has. It starts
from seven to ten days after the mail leaves Calcutta, and
brings much later no re from Delhi. The contract time for
the ma to reach Suez from Bombay is from siammen
eighteen days. Now, when it is considered that some of
the mail packets arrive at Sun four or five days before their
time, there nano no meson to doubt that if a very fast
steamer were put on between Bombay and Sum, and • similar
one between Alexandria and Conetantinople, we might
have in London telegraphic news from Bombay In little over
• fortnight. It ehuuld be borne in mind that both the
Bombay and Calcutta mail. are due at Suez on
the sth and 19th of each month The government
telegraph despatch rid Cagliari is due in London on the 9th
and 23rd of the month, the telcgraph despatch ea Trieste is
due in London on the 11th and 95th, and the telegraph
despatch rid Marseilles on the 12th and 28th.
If them despatches do not arrive at those times then there
has bees: deli through a plow boat, a stoppage at Galls or
Madras, or pe a late departure from Bombay or Cal-
cutta, w the authorities there would he justified in
authorising provided any gnat disaster or soccer was likely
shortly to happen. It is possible that the second Calcutta or
Bombay mail Oruro the feet one may arrive at Suez to-day,
and that we may be ea the eve of receiving a month's later
news, during which the most important events may have
transpired in India. Its such a cam Sir Cohn Campbell's
anival and immediate ;Proceeding, in Calcutta will no doubt
be announced, and also the arrival in Cakutta of all the
troops that have been obtained from the India and China seas.
