PORT OF DEPARTURE FOR Tr'

CAPE MAILS.
of de-
We stated some weeks since that the port
parture for the new mail contract steamers to the
Cane of Good Hope would most likely be PlYnputh'
although the Liverpool people have been eodeavour-
ing to secure those packets to their mighty port. The
fallowing is from the Plymouth Journal, and to it we
may add, that the completion of the Great Western
Docks, end the perfecting the line of electric tele-
graph from London to Plymouth, will be a Sine qua
non in any arrangement t—
'• We have just seen a letter written to a friend at
Plymouth by a gentleman in London, who says"—
You will be pleased to learn that the contract for the
conveyance of the mails to the Cape of Good Hope
has been conceded to the General Screw Stearn-ship
Company, of which company I am a director and sub'
manager. We have quite determined to make Ply'
mouth our port for the departure and arrival with the
mails ; hut we hope to be assisted by the
t
town and interested parties in carrying cut
our good enterprise by raising some shares atanna
them. We propose, in fact intend, to go to the
Mauritius, Ceylon, and Calcutta, and our ships will
be full-rigged screw steam-ships, of 1.850 WO,
register, capable of carrying about 120 tons o'.
goods, and 120 passengers first-class, in additiol
to engines, 20 days' fuel, and stowage. To show
am a f, iend to Plymouth, I have written instructions
to the Turkish snips of war shortly expected to Put
into your port. In the absence of the Turkish AITY:i
bassador, three ships are placed under my orders an'
control, and it is my intention to keep them at Or
mouth until the early Fpzing:
" We trust some efforts will be made locally to en'
deavour to carry out the writer's views. lequiri'l
are being made with a desire to meet his views, and
we hope that such an opportunity of proving thief
advantage of this port will not be lost sight of.
't
we succeed in obtaining these mails, there cannot
be a doubt that other mail companies will sOI:?,"I'
find it to their interest to come here. This W'l
he especially the case on the completion of the &ee'
tric telegraph to London (now, we hear, determi
m
on), which will bring the metropolis and the vi°
of England very many hours in advance of any other
port: ,
