In October, 1886, the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company's old liner Tainui was launched, and in her day was one of the'finest vessels afloat. Captain E. J. Evans, at present Marine Superintendent in New Zealand'for the Shaw-Sayill Company,'-was : a number of years in command of the vessel. The old Tainui, .which, on her first appearance, was referred to as a "gigantic vessel,was of 5200 tons ■ register,. 5000 horsepower, 440 ft. in length,' and 46ft. in beam. She was capable of doing 15J knots an hour, although usually 13J was her average, on a consumption of 56 tons ■of coal a day. Her engines'were of the triple-expansion type, with a cylinder .pressure'of 1601b. to' the'square inch. It is stated 1 that slw vas capable of carrying 24,680 carcasses frozen mutton, end, in addition, an enormous amount of general cargo. Thirty-eight':' days, .22hours, '55minutes,' from Lyttelton'to Plymouth (11,110 miles) was one of the 'old ;Tainui's performances,: and on that occasion the-actual'steaming time was 37 days, 20. hours,:37 minutes. ••• 1 : Although it is 22 .years' since• the 'then "gigan-: tic liner ■ Tainui was..lauiiohed, size and comfort "and not speed .• seem .. to have been 'the principal considerations- in. constructing the new Tainui; ■ the latest addition to the companv's passenger fleet. Her'. dimensions are as .''follow':—Length, 477 ft:; breadth, 60|ft.j. depth, 42Vft. and sho has 6500- horse-power. The new Tainui has a sea-going speed of 13 knots, and is propelled, by two sets'of tripleexpansion engines, working at a cylinder pressure of 2051b. The auxiliary machinery in connection with the engine and boiler equipment is of the mo:>t improved type throughout, and includes a silent ash hoist with automatic tipping bucket and. internal shoot. The ballast' piimping plan:, has a capacity of 200 tons per . hour, ■ and efficient fire-extinguishing apparatus has been fitted .throughout the vessel. Whereas the old Tainui was only capable of carrying about 25,000 carcasses of mutton, the new- vessel will be able to comfortably stow away 100,000 carcasses. Her registered tonnage (10,500 tons) is more'than double that of the erstwhile Tainui,. which, in her day, was considered a'floating palace.

The .schooner Clyde, lailen with timber, is now en route.from Greymouth to Wellington...: Captain Jordan, of the llnnapouri, goes on holiday, 'to-day, and .leaves for Sydney by the Waikare."

It is reported. th,at. Messrs. S. Brown,-Ltd.', have chartered tlic scow Eunice to load coal at Newcastle for Wellington. • Cargo for New. Zealand coming by the . SliawSavill steamer Jtatiitua. amounts .to 5000 tons, 000 tone of which is. doasiun'ed to'. Wellington. The Matatua loft 'Loudon ■ on.'October 6.

•On Wednesday the Canadian-New. Zealand Line steamer Indrav'elli arrived at Timaru. Her next port of call is Wellington, she being duo here towards the end of next week.

This afternoon the Union Company hope to dispatch the Poherua from Greymouth for Wei; lington,- and the Pukaki leaTes on- Sunday for Wellington. The Kini is expected to leave Wostport for New Plymouth. ..

According to the Greymouth "Star" shipping matters at Greymouth last week were brisk. The timber export amounted to nearly ■1,500,000 ft., while coal represented 7600 tons. Messrs. Murray, Roberts and Co., tho local agents for Lund's Blue Anchor Line, have received advice that the new steamer Wnratah, 10,000 tons, will leava London on November 6, and is due in-Sydney on December . 25. She will leave Sydney on her Homeward voyage on January 9.

'Repairs to the propelling gear of the Union Company's collier Kaituna, which was disabled and towed to Westport by the Charles Edward, are being effected. The Union Company intimates that the vessel is expccted to leave the Coast to-morrow with a cargo of coal for Wellington.
