THE MAIL STEAM-SHIP for AUSTRALIA,
4th April.—The QUEEN of the SOUTH, 1,800 tons, Corn
mander Nottstats, one of the fleet of the General Screw Steam
shipping Company, is appointed to Leave sournAm TON on the
4th of April, with her :Majesty's mails, for ADELAIDE, PORT
PHILIP, and SYDNEY. The Queen of the South, which was the
pioneer ship of the Indian mail steam-ship line (via he Cape of Good
Hope), returned from Calcutta to Plymouth on the 26th of February
last, her :turd voyage. punctually to an hour—a significant fact, and
worn y o, note. e-peeially when it is considered that the distance is
about 1.7,000 miles by a, a, and that she had to stop at sev-n ports
outward and eioht eward. This feat has not bees accomplished
.by any sh ps in the world but 11;% those belonging to the Genet'.
Screw Steam shipping Company. The Queen of the South is sister
ship to the Argo (a so one of this Company's fleet), which reached
Australia from Southampton in 64 days, and returned to England
n the same time.
Th:. Argo was the first steam-ship that returned round Cape Horn,
thus 'iterally circumnavigating the globe in 128 days, which has yet
to be equsiled. It is deemed but just to the public to state these
facts that they may knew what this Company's magnificent vessels
have done, and thus be able to form a rational calculation as to what
they are likely to do in their service to Australia. It is also essen-
tial to prevent these vessels being confounded with others which
haze not been so fortunate.
The mail service to Australia will be continued by the General
Screw Steam-shipping Company every alternate month until further
notice.
The Queen of the South is ship rigged (the Argo was barque-
rigged), and it is not unreasonable to anticipate that, with favourable
wind, she will make the passage to Australia in 60 days, or less,
thus affor ing to passengers and shippers a most desirable opportu•
nity for quick transit, that, under exi,ling circumstances in the
East, may possibly not occur again for some time. The arrange-
ments for passengers are unsurpassed for comfort and elegance.
Rates of passage money, 50 guineas to 100 guineas. Freight. 9/
per ton and 5 per cent. —Full particulars at the Company's Offices,
No. 1, Adelaide-place, London-bridge.
