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 ba, 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.
REMARKS 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 (lay 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. C.
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, 86c. 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 Si. 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.
