IN vertisement of the 30th of September, 1852.

the act of 30th of August last, establishing the

purposes" Bidders will therefore govern
themselves accordingly.
The vessels, however, to be used in transporting
the malls on the Pacific line must be constructed
in accordance with the requirements of the acts OF
