BODLEY & ETTY take this opportunity of announcing to their Friends and the Indian Army, that they have resigned the Military portion of their Business into the hands of Messrs. MAYNARD & HARRIS, of No. 27, Poultry (removed to 126, Leadenhall.street), London, and from whose long experience in Equipments, Mess Supplies, Officers' and Privates' Uniforms and Necessaries, and the acknowledged superiority of the articles they supply, we strongly recommend our Friends to commit their orders to them, convinced as we are that they will be punctually and liberally treated, both with regard to prices and terms. BODLEY & ETTY, Gold Lacemen and Sword Cutlers. 31, Lombard Srteet. We take advantage of this opportunity to bring to your notice several matters, which, for obvious reasons, could not, with propriety, have been embodied in Captain BARBER'S "Overland Guide Book." The points we will arrange under the separate headings of― PASSAGE TO INDIA. 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, 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. In all cases we strongly advise that insurance be effected ou both passage and baggage, the expense being so trifling. As respects Bombay particularly, the precaution of early application cannot be too much enforced. The accommodation in the East-India Company's steamers is frequently insufficient to berth the passengers that desire to proceed by them; by enabling us to write two mails previously to our agent at Bombay, the accommodation required will be secured beyond a doubt; under any circumstances, if only one post to Egypt intervene, the application will, at all events, give the party a priority over those neglecting to take such precaution. It has been explained in the pages of the Guide Book that the route through France is in such a state of change, that it is impossible to give standing instructions; we have, however, taken pains to be accurately informed of such changes from time to time as they occur, and every needful particular will be given ou application. We have completed scales of Outfit suitable for Similar remarks, regarding the early despatch of heavy baggage round the Cape of Good Hope, apply to the homeward-bound passenger, who had better transmit us his instructions as to warehousing his luggage, &c. &c., by the mail, prior to his own departure. PPP (Continued.) Cadets, Military Officers of all ranks, Civilians, and Ladies, showing in detail what articles are absolutely necessary, as well as what additions may be profitably made, where rigid economy is not imperative. These lists can always be had on application. The detail of an outfit 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. SHIPMENT OF SUPPLIES. The contract just concluded between her Majesty's government and the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company will perfect the intercourse between England and India, enabling parties to supply themselves direct from home with the innumerable requisites for which they had formerly to depend on the chance of the Bazaar. To the selection of such articles we have always paid the most careful attention, whether required for private individuals or the messes of regiments. The next point, after the purchase of goods, is the choice of route by which shipment is to be effected; of course, such choice will mainly depend on the proportion of bulk to value. MILITARY APPOINTMENTS and miscellaneous supplies obtained direct from the manufacturers, at the wholesale prices, as well as musical instruments, and sporting equipments of all kinds. MESSES OF H.M. REGIMENTS going on foreign service to India and the Colonies fitted out, and their wine and supplies sent periodically. PAY AND PENSIONS RECIEVED; 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.
