Tue local office of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha informs us that, starting from the present date, an arrangement has made so that passengers holding first or second-class tickets from here to Japan are privileged to break the sea journey and travel by rail instead of by steamer, without any further charge (excepting the transit tax levied by the Central Government, as well as the extra charges for tickets by express trains, for sleepers and for meals, which outlays the traveller himself must disburse) over the whole or a part of the journey between Tokio, Yokohama, Kobe, Moji and Nagasaki; further, that tickets for such purpose will be issued, on application, either on beard the steamer, or at the com-barny's branch office at the place where passengers connect with the railway. Such passengers may also have the additional facility of their baggage, within the limit of free conveyance, being transported by the steamer.
