"in. ports." The largest of the fleet is the Herzogin Cecilie,' a German fourrmasted: barnno. of ; 27S6■■■'• tons, which has been; waiting for instructions at Port Phillip Heads.' -The next'largest vessel, i.e., ..the Herzogin Sophie Charlotte; is of the same rig and nationality, as- the. first-named.-.

Both .those .-vessels are school ships for the future officers of the well-known N.D.L.;-Company, and were visitors to; Sydney 6ome "few - years ago,; The next in size is the Bolgian four-master L'Avenir, 2155 tons, and she:is.practically a new vessel, and was-described in our. columns some time ago. " Then, we, have the well-known' Port Jackson, now about to sail from Sydney laden with wool, and general cargo.for London; - The smallest of the batch is the Dartford, in port n't Melbourne, which has iu'st made her first voyage as a cadet, ship, and according to latest, reports .has proved herself ..well' adapted, for .the business. .'•'. , ;,-.,.-

This decision, has 'been brought, about principally by the rapidlVexpanding trade done between, the two countries and will be', welcomed, by importers generally.. Hith--erto ' steamers wore sent •; forward , at"' lengtW nerioda, nnd•, the : support, offered was so good that at times cargo is said to have heen'shut out and Kept back until the next sailing Thi new time-table nrovides for praotically monthly sailings - from Gothenburg and Fredorickstadt commencing from next* April,' and also includes Fromantle and Adelaide,in the ports of call The increasing trade certainly warranted this improvement; and there is-little donbt that both the G.A. Company and Australian importers, who • also have, another service, the SwedishSouth African Line, at their, disposal, will-pro-fit by it.
