LONDON, 31st January.
The Orient Steamship Company has como to an arrangement with tho Australian Government whereby a full fortnight mail service will once more be maintained instead of as in the past few years' gaps in tho service occurring during the summer tourist season, when Orient liners are withdrawn for Norwegian voyages. These voyages will still bo made, but the Commonwealth has agreed to alternate fortnightly sailings being filled by an expedited service now being arranged with the Peninsular branch service, via Suez, commencing with tho Baradinc on 12th April. The Balranald, Ballarat, and Bendigo will follow monthly, receiving the outward Australian mails from Indian mail steamers at Aden and reversing the process homewards.
