The above charges include every expense, except hotel expenses in
Egypt, and wines, beer, and spirits, while passing between Alexandria
and Suez. (See p. 38.)

reader is referred to the East India Company's Regulations, p. 39; see

APPENDIX (B.)
TARIFF
OF DUTIES WHICH ARE LEVIED ON THE IMPORTATION OF THE FOLLOWING
ARTICLES:--
Notwithstanding the advice already given in this little volume, we
repeat that passengers would always save themselves much trouble, and,
by facilitating the examination of luggage, their fellow-travellers
great delay, if they would take the precaution to pack goods liable to
duty in a separate case, marked "duty goods," and leave it in charge of
Mr. Hill, the "Peninsular and Oriental Company's" custom-house agent
at Southampton, who always goes on board the steamer on its arrival,
and who will punctually forward it as directed. They should, at the
same time, deliver to Mr. Hill a list of the contents and the value of
each article, bearing in mind that duty is chargeable on the value of
the article in England, without reference to its cost price, and that,
provided the revenue officer does not approve of the declared value
made by the owner of the goods, he can seize the same, in which case,
the declared value, with an additional ten per cent., is paid to the
owner.
As a general guide, it is recommended that the _cost price_ be given
to Mr. Hill, and that he be left to estimate the duty, his great
experience qualifying him to do so.
Cotton must not be used for packing goods of any description by the
Overland Route; it occasions great difficulty, and subjects them to
seizure, under the quarantine laws.

JAMES BARBER AND CO.,
EAST INDIA ARMY AND GENERAL AGENCY,
136, LEADENHALL STREET.
It is not our custom to seek business by the channel of continued
advertisements, but we feel it to be our duty through the present
opportunity to thank the Civil and Military Services of India, as well
as many others, for the confidence they have been pleased to place
in our management, when entrusted with their commands, and, further,
to assure them that our effort to please, which has hitherto secured
to us so large a portion of their patronage and support, will be
energetically continued, and that our constant endeavour is to execute
every commission entrusted to our care with promptness and fidelity.
We feel that a general Agency of this description to be really useful
must embrace every variety of service, and that acute attention should
be paid to the smallest trifle, often regulating the comfort and
convenience of those by whom we are employed.
With these prefatory remarks, we may commence our detail, by observing--
Captain BARBER'S long experience in the East India Company's
maritime service, together with his personal knowledge of all the
first-class ships or steamers, fully qualifies him to furnish every
information that can possibly be required for the voyage to India or
China, whether the long sea or Overland Route be chosen.
Supposing the Overland Route to be chosen, no time should be lost in
giving us directions to select the best vacant berth in the steamer,
and to collect and ship all heavy baggage round the Cape, so that it
may arrive sufficiently early to meet its owner at the Presidency.
The detail of an <big>OUTFIT</big> for so long a journey is a matter of
serious consideration, both as regards comfort and cost--from ignorance
on this subject it too frequently happens, that an expenditure beyond
that which is necessary, fails to provide for the wants that might
have been satisfied for a much less sum--and, further, even when
the list is well chosen, the articles are bought at a great price,
or indiscriminately procured from advertising tradesmen, who supply
inferior goods.
We are always ready with detailed Lists of Outfit, and to advise
parties who apply in time to avail themselves beneficially of our
assistance in this and every other particular relating to the journey.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company do not in any case book through
to <big>BOMBAY</big>, and for information and assistance in removing
all difficulty while _en route_ to that Presidency we recommend that
application be made to this Agency.
BAGGAGE is fetched from any part of London by us and sent down
to Southampton, and there put on board the steamers in accordance with
the Peninsular and Oriental Company's regulations, at a fixed charge on
each package.
The BANKING DEPARTMENT of this agency includes all monetary
operations at home and abroad.
PAY AND PENSIONS RECEIVED. Life insurance and insurance on
baggage, passage and goods, effected; letters of credit granted;
private and public business transacted at all the Government offices,
and at the East-India House.
Military appointments and miscellaneous supplies of every description,
including wines, musical instruments, plated ware, cutlery, sporting
equipments, &c., &c., &c., are procured direct from the manufacturers,
and forwarded as instructed by messes or individuals requiring them.
We are always ready to give advice when required for the packing
of goods and render estimates of Cost of Freight and insurance--of
packages to any part of the world. Having directed particular attention
to this branch of the business, the fullest information and assistance
can be given.
Although it is not indispensable that parties resorting to this Agency
should become permanent SUBSCRIBERS of £1 per annum paid in
advance, we beg to observe that those who do are entitled to the
privilege of admission to a comfortable READING ROOM, provided
with writing materials, and where English newspapers and periodicals
and the latest Indian journals are regularly filed.
