The Euterpe ie expected to leave Wellington lee this port is about fourteen days. The Union Steamship Company's Bβ. Ali'iiabra, Captain Mclntoeh, arrived from Melbourne via Southern Ports yeeterday at 2 15 •.«. Sbe tear* to-day for Wellington, Grey. **atb and Hokitika, and returns thence to Wellington and Southern Ports, taking up the Hero's rooting to Melbourne. .... Wβ (" Mitehell'e Maritime Begister") Iwi received from the Beard of Trade a hat of ships resorted durng the month ot November, 1881, to the Eedißtrar General of Shipping and SeaBen as oomiog into registry; as also of chips tba register* of which trera closed. Wβ find from tbi« retorn th*t 146 vessels were registered, ef 74.E85 net tonnage and 88,048 gross tonnage, •! which number four were purchased from foreigners. It appeani that 20 i were removed from registry, of 51,317 net tonnage and 63,844 erosa tonnage; of these latter 20 were sold to foreigners, 41 were wrecked, 15 stranded, 47 k»<s. 17 broken up, 9 abandonetl, 5 wen in β-ltfsion, 6 missing, 26 foundered, 4 were burnt, S were condemned, and 6 oS for other •vises. The amoust of tonnage launotadby the various firms on the Clyde in 1881 was largely in cxckbs ef any previous year. Altogether some 261 vessel*, havisg an aggregate summatioa of 84 : ,002 toss, were put into the water. In the year 1830, wHch was considered a prosperon* t»n, an 4 was the beet, with the exception of 1871, the tonnage reached about 248,000, or folly 93,000 vnter the present figures; while the returns of 1874, hitherto the beet year in the kiitory of the shipbuilding trade, are also overtopped by between 70,000 asd 8t),000 tons. Kren ia this large output there appeared to be Bβ diminution of the work on hand, and future prospects were of the brightest description. The number of vessels of large tonnage stood praraineatl? out in comparison with previous statistics, an* at the present rate of progress it 13 considered net improbable that in a few years hence vessels rivalling the Great Eastern in point of dimensions will be constructed on the Ifede.
