The New Zealand Herald says that ■the new boat will be at least 4000 tons, will be able to beat the record in point of speed of any bo it In •this port of the world, and will not only be fitted ■with refrigerating machinery and the electric -light, hat will be specially ventilated for a tropical passage. Shonld tha period of the contract be extended to five years instead of three, the Union Company will build two other boats of similar capacity and spaed, to be employed on the service between San Francisco and this Colony. Bat from San Francisco cotres the intelligence that, in consequence of the purchase of the Zealandia and Australia, the building of a new steamer has been abandoned. The price is said to be £IOO,OOO. A small craft which has bean purchased by Blair and Co. for the lime tia.de was launched from Wright and Orr's slip yesterday. She is the handi--rork of Peter Wallace, of Wilfiamstown, who commenced her construction some 15 years ago, and Las been at work at it, off and on, ever since. The length of the craft is Sfift 3ia over all, the beam is 15ft Bin, and the depth of hold is 7£t. She measures -about SO tons register.—Argus. Captain T. M'Gee, who was in command of the Union Company’s s.s. Waihora when she struck on the uncharted rock in Banks’ Straits, on her passage from New Zealand, via. Hdhort, has made arrangements to remain on shore. Before the accident occurred, it was well-known amongst his circle of acquaintances that he intended to relinquish the -seafaring life, and enter into business at Sydney. ■His connection with the steamer was to have ceased on her arrival at Sydney after leaving here, hut in the meantime the accident upset, for a time,- all Arrangements. Having done all that he could for the steamer in her difficulty, and seen her in a fair way of being afloat again, be has sent in his resignation to the Directors, and an intimation that he intends settling on shore, os was previously understood. It is a rigid rule in the Union Company’s service, and one that has been on several occasions ■strictly enforced, that when an accident of the •description which happened to the Waihora occurs, the master has no alternative but to resign or be •dismissed. In the severance of hia connection with the Company, however, Captain M’liee has the <jood wishes of the Directors.—Argus,
