REMARKS ON TABLE No. 3.

This steamer will receive from the Demerara steamer at
Barbadoes, as shown in the preceding table, all the outer
and inter-colonial mails destined for places specified in table
No. 3, with which she proceeds as there stated, remaining at
Grenada, going and return to coal.
She is to regulate her stay at Trinidad so as to leave it pre-
cisely in 29 days 6 hours after the out mails left Falmouth,
returning by the same route to Barbadoes, collecting home
and inter-colonial mails by the way, which she is to deliver
to the Demerara steamer going to St. Thomas.
Having performed this service, this branch steamer waits
at Barbadoes till the arrival of the next outward mails, &c.,
from St. Thomas, when she proceeds as before.
The quantity of coals to be taken in at Grenada is stated
at 70 tons each way, calculating by the supposed consump-
tion ; but this is not intended to prevent the captain taking
even 100 tons each time, if he conceives it to be necessary.

No. 4.— JAMAICA STATION.—ONE SMALL STEAMER.
Out mails arrive at and are despatched from St. Thomas
in 22 days, to St. Juan's Porto Rico, Cape Haytien, St.
Jago de Cuba, Jamaica, St. Jago de Cuba, Cape Haytien,
St. Juan's Porto Rico, St. Thomas. Total from and re-
turning to St. Thomas, 14 days 2 hours.
REM ARKS ON TABLE No. 4. _

On the arrival of the steamer from Europe at Saint
Thomas, this steamer receives the outward inter-colonial
mails for Porto Rico Hayti, and St. Jago de Cuba, with
which she proceeds as shown in Table No. 4. Like the
Demerara steamer, !she must leave St. Thomas's as soon as
she can get those mails, and at farthest before midnight on
the 22d day after the time appointed for the outward mails
leaving Falmouth. The Jamaica out mails are not for-
warded by this steamer, but by a direct steamer, as shown
in Table No. 6.
This arrangement is made to afford the island of Jamaica
seven clear days for replying to its correspondence.
Having delivered the mails at Porto Rico, Cape Haytien,
and St. Jago de Cuba, this steamer proceeds to Jamaica,
where she remains till 31 days 15 hours from the time the
out-mails left Falmouth, when she receives all the home
and inter-colonial mails from Jamaica, and returns by the
same route to St. Thomas, picking up home mails and ex-
changing inter-colonial mails by the way. On her arrival
at St. Thomas, the home mails, '&c. are transferred to the
steamer bound for Bermuda ; and, in due time, the steamer
employed on Table No. 4 performs the same work over
again.
As this steamer will have nearly five days and a half to lie
at Jamaica, she will complete her coal there to 400 tons,
so as to require no coals at St. Thomas.
Should the stay of three hours each place, allowed at
Porto Rico, Cape Haytien, or St. Jago de Cuba, going and
returning, as shown in the table, be unavoidably exceeded
or curtailed, the stoppage at Jamaica must be regulated ac-
cordingly, so as to ensure this steamer leaving that place as
before mentioned in 31 days 15 hours from the date of the
outward mails leaving Falmouth.

No. S.—BERMUDA STATION.—ONE LARGE
STEAMER.

Home mails arrive at St. Thomas, and are despatched from
thence in 37 days from the date of the out mails leaving
England, to Bermuda, St. Thomas. Total going to and re-
turning from Bermuda, 12 days 20 hours.
REMARKS ON TABLE No. 5.
_..

This steamer is employed to receive all the home mails
collected by the steamer employed on tables Nos. 2,3, and 4,
as also the outward mails for Bermuda, provided they arrive
before midnight on the 22d day after they are despatched
from Falmouth.

This steamer proceeds with the whole of the home
mails to Bermuda, where she meets the steamer from Ha-
vana, receives from her the mails, &c., for England, and
after completing fully her stock of coal, proceeds to Europe,
as shown in table No. 8.

The steamer from Havana completes her coals at Bermuda,
and in 30 days 10 hours from the time the last Bermudean
mails left England this steamer proceeds to St. Thomas,
where she will be ready to receive and convey the next out
mails for the Demerara route.
A good Bermuda pilot is to be kept constantly on board
the ship that performs the duty on Table No. 5, and the cap-
tain, not being hard pressed for time, is never to attempt
going into Bermuda at night, or in thick weather.

No. 6.— HAVANA STATION.—ONE LARGE STEAMER.
Out mails arrive at and leave St. Thomas in 22 days to
Jamaica, Cape Antonio, Havana, Nassau, Bermuda. Total
going from St. Thomas to Bermuda, 17 days 22 hours.

REMARKS ON TABLE No. 6,
On the arrival of the out mails at St. Thomas's this
steamer receives the out and inter-colonial mails for Jamaica
—the Chagres Station, table No. 11—Havana, Nassau, and
Mexico, table No. 7. With these she proceeds to Jamaica
direct, where she delivers, every alternate time, the Santa
Martha, Carthagena, and Chagres mails to a schooner wait-
ing at Jamaica for them. The steamer waits at Jamaica 24
hours, and coals, as far as practicable ; then proceeds on to
Havana, where, every alternate time, she meets a schooner,
to which she delivers the Honduras mails, and a steamer with
the Mexican mails.
The Havana steamer remains there about four days, or as
long as may be necessary to complete her coaling ' • after
which she takes up the route as shown in table No. 7, and
performs that service.
As soon as the Havana steamer reaches Bermuda, she
completes her coaling, and is then disposable to take up the
route to St. Thomas, as shown in table No. 5, or to proceed
for Europe, if required, as shown in Table No. 8.
The steamer from St. Thomas, as shown in table No. 5, is
calculated to reach Bermuda in one day 14 hours after the
Havana steamer ; but should she not appear in that time,
the steamer from Havana must not depart for Europe till
11 days after she had quitted the Havana. This will allow
three days for any casualty delaying the steamer from St.
Thomas.

mails foi that place and the city of Mexico ; she then goes on

Vera Cruz, and remains there till 54 days 16 hours after the

specie, &c., from Mexico and Vera Cruz, she then returns
to Havana, meets the outward Mexico steamer, receives
coals sufficient to reach Bermuda, and proceeds upon that
route, as shown in table No. 6.
Although it is stated in the table that four days is the time
allowed at Havana for coaling, yet this steamer must never
leave that place for Mexico with less than 450 tons, taking
time, at all events, to complete that quantity, but preserving
rigidly the time for leaving Vera Cruz—namely, 54 days 16
hours after the out mails left England.

No.B.—HOME ATLANTIC.—ONE LARGE STEAMER.
Home mails from Havana reached Bermuda in
from the time the out mails left England ; and the home
n
collected St, Thomas reached Bermuda in 41 days m 0 hours
from the time the out mails left England. In 43 or 41 days,nr
or as soon as the steamer from St. Thomas has completed her
coals, the whole of the home /nails leave Bermuda for
England.
REMARKS on TABLE No. 8.
As it must be optional with the company's superintendent
at Bermuda which steamer of those there collected he will

send to Europe, this table has been made out separately,
though in reality it is merely a continuation of the homeward
voyage.
In general, the steamer proceeding home will be the one
from Demerara; and she is not to quit Bermuda till her coal
is complete, so as to render it unnecessary to coal at Fayal
or Falmouth, and to obviate the possibility of being short of
coal in the chops of the channel.
Having landed the mails at Falmouth this steamer will
proceed without a moment's delay to Southampton.

No. 9.—LA GUAYRA STATION.—ONE SCHOONER.
Out mails for La Guayra and Porto Cabello arrived at St.
Thomas in 22 days from England, when this scheoner pro-
ceeds with them, to Laguayra, Porto, Cabello, and St.
Thomas. Total going and returning to St. Thomas, 25 days
20 hours.
