JANUS LEAVES MELBOURNE TO-DAY. -

One of the most consistent traders between India and Australia is the British-India liner Janus, which before being taken over by the present owners was a unit of the Archibald -Currie Line. The Janus is to leave Melbourne to-day in continuation of another voyage from Calcutta, and should reach Sydney on Monday next. A discharging berth has been reserved for her at No. 21 Jones Bay wharf, while, as is usual, Burns, Philp & Co., Ltd., will be her agents. After discharging her inward freight the Janus will go to Newcastle, where she will load coal and horses for India, proceeding thence to Brisbane, where more horses will be taken onboard. She will eventually steam to Melbourne, where she will complete loading.
