They here accordingly obtained tbe sanction of the Board of Trade for the issue of 50/. shares to the extent of *8 o.o> 0, which will make the toUl paid-np capital-one million The diTidend paid by the company in 1849 was 74 per cent, per arm., and in. 1850 8 per cent, per arm., and tbe prospects of the company warrant the directors in anticipating a still larger dividend, when they are enabled to pr.ovide steamers, for some of the lmpoitant routes now altogether neglected. The company intend establishing direct steam communication with India by the Uape and the Manritins.' and *' they trust at no distant period" to extend' their operations to Australia direct. They will haYe.no difficulty in obtaining the additional capital they require, the more eipecially because the company , is incorporated by Royal Charter, limiting the liability.ofthe shareholders to the amount subscribed. — Atlas, April 5.

We regret to have to say that our port has, during the heavj gales preralent at the' commencement of the present month, smtained the loss of two of its regular coasting traders. ,The schooner ',Hero,' 17 tons, R.

We liment'taiay\tb'at all hands 'onboard — viz.^R. S. Still, W. Webb, and F. Fairweather/were drowned. Mr. F. Armion, jun. haying been passenger by the 'Hero' from hence, when her loss had become known in town, considerable anxiety as to his safety wat felt by bis family ; their anxiety hai, howerer, been Happily relieTed by the intelligence of his safety, brought op by Mr. Faulkner of the ' Isabella.' Mr. F. Armion had gone ashore from the ' Hero' at Mercury Bay, and intended to proceed to Makatu in the ' Highlander,' bat landed from her at Tauranga three days before the loss of the ' Hero,' 4tnd bad thence gone oyerland to Makatu — The other loss we allude to is that of G.

AH hands were,' in this instsnee. happily saTed ; and we beliere also her cargo (oil) was got on shore : the ressel, however, is a total wreck.

Steam Navigation. — Among the arrivals direct from Britain in the ensuing season will be a new iron steamer, built on the Clyde, expressly for the Geetong and Melbourne trade. She is the property of our townsman Mr. Duncan Hoyle, and will' be commanded by Captain Fieyer.

She will be fitted up for passengers alone, with capacious saloon and a separate dining room. She was to sail, under canvas, during August, and may be expected here about Christmas. 'There are also two vessels contracted for at the Clyde for the Hunter River Companyone of .them intended to supercede the Shamrock in the Sydney and Victoria trade. Captain M'Kellar is acting- as agent of the Company. Other pur tic* are in the market at London for steamers for the lines now tnodopolised by the Hunter River Company.— • Geelong Advertiter.

' j Iron or Wood for Ships of War.— Several highly - influential men connected with, the shipping interest, and more especially with the various extensive steam companies, -have united in a reque-t to the Admiralty to institute further trials of the,comparative .effects of shot on iron and wooden vessels, before 1 thsir lordships' final condemnation of iron *§, a material for building ships of war or steam-paek-eti. They allege that if wooden thips were sub jected to the^ame severe trials of shot from such a fixed battery as on board H. M. S. Excellent, the resalts would be as destructive as represented by the iron targets, and having urged their lord&hips to institute new trials under various circumstances, upon their- representations,- a butt, to represent the section of both sides, of ' a line -of - battle ship,' is "being constructed in Portsmouth Dockyard, against whkh percussion shells,' by several projector's, are to be testrd, — United Service Gazette.
