The postage to all other places,
to which there is no regular con-
veyance by packet, is Is. lid.
Letters to all other places in the
West Indies can only be forwarded
by private ships, at ship letter
rates.
Letters for any of the above
places, if ordered to be sent by
ship, via Liverpool, are taken at
half the Packet rates, which must

in.
The returns of the Packets are
calculated thus : — To Jamaica and
back, 16 weeks ; America, 15
weeks ; Leeward Islands, 13 weeks;
Malta, 14 weeks; Brazil, 20
weeks ; Lisbon, 4 weeks.
From July to December inclu-
sive, the Packet touches at Per-
nambuco and Bahia, on her out-
ward passage to Rio Janeiro ; the
other six months on her home-
ward passage.
In November, December, Janu-
ary, and February, the Packets
touching at Bermuda go to New
York direct : during the other
eight months they go and return
by Halifax.
Letters for places abroad, to
which there are no Packets — as
China, New South Wales, Sierra
Leone, Cape Coast Castle, Goree,
Senegal, St Helena, and many
parts of South America — . are
forwarded in sealed ship letter
bags, by vessels sailing from Lon-
don or the out ports. Postage
