From the London Economist
The important subject TO which we adverted last week

teal conclusion by the acceptance Of tender made by
powerful and respectable company in Clasgog for the
establishment OF line OF large sOthamD-
ton TO Alexandria, and from Suez, by way of Point de
Gale and round Cape Levin to Melbourne and Sydney,
performing the passage monthly each way. In connec
ton with this SERVICE Of course mail through France

is from southampton TO Alexandria. twelve days aud
twelve hours, and to Suez fourteen days the time from

to Melbourne in forty six days. and from Melbourne
London in forty two days. Allowing our days ncllding
