In order to obtain a view of the Plan, brought into the narrowest possible compass, without wading through the minute and multifarious details, it is necessary to particularize the different stations and departments, to which the numbers affixed immediately and only relate, thus:— | No. 1. | Falmouth to Terceira or Fayal. | | 2. | Fayal to Halifax. | | 3. | Halifax by New York to Havannah. | | 4. | Fayal to Rio de Janeiro by Pernambuco, &c. | | 5. | Fayal to Madeira and Teneriffe. | | 6. | Fayal to Barbadoes. | | 7. | West India Department, from Demerara to Vera Cruz, including Chagres, &c. | | 8. | Expenses, depÔts for coals, and repair boats. | Cost of Plan by Steam.
| Number of Station. | Fixed Capital required. | Provisions, Wages, &c.

The reduction in coals by the preceding estimate will be 33,250l.; and, allowing 10 per cent. wastage on the whole quantity, the real reduction in the expenditure will be 20,000l.
