Information has been received from London of impending important changes in the service of the Orient Royal Mail line to Australia.

This change will not coniri into effect, until the outward Egyptian, Indian, Ceylon, and Aus- , tralian sen-on commence? in London in October, and the dift vessel of the trio named to leave Tilbury or Southampton for Sydney, via ports, wi'l be tbo Avon, tho newest of a. class, and she will snil in the month mentioned.
