The New Zealand Shipping Co. are In receipt of cable advices statiug t hat their new steamer Opawa has been successfully launched. The Opawa, which is a sister to the new steamer Orari, now en route s™™ Liverpool to Auckland, is a twin screw <W0 tons steamer of the following dimensions: — Length, 460 ft; breadth. moulded, Wit; depth. o'4ft. She is primarily intended ..or the company's frozen meat trade from pew Zealand, and the entire fore end Is Insulated in the holds and lower 'tween decks. One of the 'tween decks is divided "'to sections and refrigerated by brine pipes. The remainder of the space 6 are cooled by ineuus of uir driven through cool rooms, which are kept at a low temperature by the expansion n£ compressed ammonia. She has tive hatchways, each one titted with pnwiTful cargo gear, a feature of which is the great outreach over the ship's side which the derricks, possess, thus enabling cargo to be discharged direct into trucks. In addition, there is a large steel derrick at No. 'J hatch, which enables heavy lifts to be handled without shifting the vessel up to large shore cranes. Although not intended primarily for passenger service, the now steamer has a Board of Trade passenger certificate, and a few cabins are provided lor passengers. Owing to the great free-board which ships in this trade possess, the Opawa is fitted with two firing hridges, one above the other. The propelling machinery consists of two sets of triple expansion engines. Thee.a. Taviuni left Suva yesterday afternoon for Auckland, where she is due to arrive on Monday next.

She loads about 400 pipes here for To'ago Bay, The steamer Centennial, which is now considerably overdue at Napier, left Launceston on October 15, but was delayed ai Georgetown, having sprung a slight leak. It was, according to Australian flies, be'luved that a little water had found ingress through a flight nptnlug in a seam of rtie topside, as the vessel had been l.villg idie for several months. It was thnusrht to bare been only a trivial affair, and the Centeunial, resuming her voyage, cleared the Ta'nar on October 17. She is built of wood, and is of SO tons.
