JOCELYN, 1,800 tons, another of the fine fleet belonging to the
General Screw Ste,am Shipping Company, will be despatched with
her Majesty's Mails for Adelaide, Port Philip, and Sydney, on the
4th June next. This truly noble ship has maintained her high re-
Patation for rapid sailing and punctuality, and as a sister ship to' the
Argo, which has made the quickest voyage to and from Australia of
'MY ship up to this time. The Lady Jocelyn has been employ ed
carrying the Mails to and from England and Calcutta, and after a
'voyage of about 27,000 miles, calling at sawn ports outward 'and
eight homeward, has reached Plymouth two days before her time,

assumed that she will make the run to Anstra.ia in 61) days. Mates
