THE COLONIAL STEAMER WILLIAM THE FOURTH, Ol" 120 TONS MEASUREMENT AND 40HORSEPOWER THIS Vessel is well worth the attention of parties engaged in the Coasting Trade of this or of the' neighbouring Colonies, carrying a much larger Cargo for her Tonnage than any other steamer of modern construction. She is in good order and can be employed by any purchaser at once, and without any outlay. Her speed has been much increased by the SUPERIOR and POWERFUL MACHINERY Which has been recently placed on board By Messrs. Napier and Co, of this city, Enabling her to maintain a speed of eight knots when fully loaded. Her running expenses,as regards fuel and otherwise, are very small, while her character as a sea boat stands unrivalled. Tno only motive for disposing of so useful a vessel is, that she is superseded in her trade by larger and more powerful steamers. • For the Inter-colonial Trade of New Zealand no other vessel could be better adapted: she is fully found, and can be taken to sea at the shortest notice. For further particulars, any intending purchasers can apply to THE MANAGER Of the Illawarra Steam Navigation Company, Phoenix Wharf, Sydney. CHRISTCHURCH VOLUNTEER FIRE BRIGADE.
