MESSRS. HENRY KERR & CO.'s

INDIAN ARMY AGENCY,

AND

AGENCY FOR PASSENGERS TO AND FROM INDIA, 26, SUFFOLK-STREET, PALL-MALL-EAST.

Capt. Henry Kerr, late of the Bengal Army, having, at the suggestion of many of his brother-officers and friends, determined to offer his services as Army and General India Agent, to the Officers Civil and Military, of the India Services, and to Her Majesty's Officers whose regiments may be serving in India, begs to intimate that he has established himself in the above offices for the especial purpose of affording facilities and accommodation in the transaction of their business to Officers both returning from, and proceeding to India.

Capt Kerr hopes from the friendship and acquaintance he had the pleasure to enjoy with several Officers of the Indian Army, when he held the different appointments of Aide-de-camp, Deputy Judge-Advocate, and Superintendent of Gentlemen-Cadets in Fort William, that he will receive a due share of their patronage and support, which it will be his study to merit by a scrupulous regard to their wants and interests, and the most punctual and ready attention to all their commands and wishes.

The following is the Business comprehended in this Agency:

FOR PARTIES PROCEEDING TO INDIA. Plans of every Ship may be seen at one view-the Prices of every description of Cabin, with the precise times of sailing from Gravesend and Portsmouth ascertained-and Passages arranged for, upon terms infinitely more favourable than can be done by direct application.

Parties desirous of proceeding Overland to India, will be provided with every information and assistance to guide their plans. Maps of the route had.

Cadets and Young Gentlemen outfitted, upon any scale of estimate desired, avoiding all superfluities.

Baggage put on board the ship at the Docks, under careful direction and superintendence, without any trouble or inconvenience, and at no other expense than what is actually incurred in cartage, wharfage, &c.

Parties having Sons desirous of engaging as Midshipmen on board East India Ships, may have engagements secured on favourable terms.

Servants (Indian or English) provided for families going out, in most cases for a trifling remuneration for services during the voyage.

Military Equipments, Outfits, Cabin Furniture, &c., provided, without any expensive superfluities.

Descriptive Lists, with prices, may be had at the office.

Parties assisted in procuring Passports for travelling through France, Germany, &c. Also, Letters of Credit granted.

FOR PARTIES ARRIVING FROM INDIA.

Baggage is cleared out of the Docks, and forwarded according to instructions; or any portion warehoused during the stay of the parties in England.

N.B. Parties landing at Plymouth, Portsmouth, or any of the Outports, will be pleased to forward their instructions by letter, leaving their keys under a sealed cover, to the address of Messrs. K. and Co., in charge of the commanding-officer on board.

Native servants from India can be provided with Return Engagements, or Cheap Passages.

Families from India provided with Furnished Houses or Apartments in any situation, for any time, and at any rents desired.

Ladies and Children unaccompanied by any Male Relatives, will, on arrival, be met at Gravesend by Capt. Kerr, if previous notice be given, and relieved of all the trouble and annoyance, which Females are invariably exposed to,
