A colonial city that can turn out a steamboat such as the Tauranga—"manufactured on the premises," —need not fear for the future. The machinists, the builders, the various tradesmen engaged in the completion of this really handsome steam-vessel, have much reason to be patisfied with the result of their labours ; for although the arrangemfnts have been made rather frght so far ob coft is concerned, we are aware that the utmost satisfaction has been given to the owners—indeed it would be strange were it otherwise, when all the demand for extras over and heyond that anticipated scarcely exceeds three hundred pounds. It is seldom, indeed, that a vessel of this class is built with extras amounting to less than £700 or £800. We have to congratulate the shareholders upon the judicious and economical arrangements of tho directors in the matter; but to Captain Seliars alone is due the credit of keeping down the outlay not really anticipated for extras to the sum already mentioned of three hundred pounds, &c. "We percehe that it is the intention of the company to call at tho Barrier, Mercury Bay, and Tairua, at all of which placeß there is a numerous and increas'ng population, who will no doubt tend towards the profitable employment of the steam-veesel. The Sea Bbebze.—The Bay of Islands trader Sea Breeze, Captain W.

A new system of propelling steamers has been invented in France. It coneiets in substituting for paddle-wheels or for a screw a single wheel placed in the water in the centre of tho vessel. Experiments have been made at Lyonß, and have perfectly succeeded. Tho Minister of Marine has had four steam-sloops constructed on the now plan, and one of them has already been sent to Cochin China. Mitchcll's Steam Journal, April 12. On Saturday afternoon a twin Bcrew-steamer was leunclied on the Clyde from the yards of Messrs Cennall, Rutherglen.

At Marseilles, on Wednesday last, as the steamer Dauphine, of the Compagnie des Transports Moritimes, was about to leave the Port apoleon for Bona, she was, by the violence of the mistral and the breaking of a cable, driven with great violence on the blocks of stone on which the .jetty ot Arenc is built. Her bottom waß broken in in one of the compartments, and water rushed in. She fell on one side. The Duke of Edinburgh and the officers of H.M.S. Galatea, with a great number of men, imme- . diately went on board and rendered every assistance —the Prince not only giving orders, but lending a hand to the work to be done.

Tho ship Ironside, Captain Hod ley, will come to the Wharf to-day to discharge, taking up the berth vacated by the Countess of ltussell. Boat Adrift.—Captain Jones, of the Meteor, reports that when ho was at Tologa Bay, on the 10th instant, a boat came ashore there, of the following description : —l6 feet keel, straight stem post, painted blue outside, red insido, and contained 2 women's petticoats, children's clothing, 2 pair blocks, 3 padlocks and staples, nnd a Government boat awning bearing the Government mark on it, and also branded in three places " condemned." It, no doubt, belonged to some natives. Tee J and. —Tho schooner Jano, Capt. Faulkner, arrived in harbour last evening from Napier via Poverty Bay, bringing a cargo of 6 horses, 13 pigs, 4 tons potatoes, 2 tons pumpkins, vegetablo marrows, &c., also 1 passenger—Mr. Tuckor. The Jane left Poverty Bay on Tuesday last, and had nothing but ' a continuation of heavy S.W. gales on the coast, compelling her to seek shelter on Friday last in Trjphena Harbour (Barrier). On Sunday the weather moderated, and a fresh departure made for this port, arriving hero last evening. Tho Ringleader, cuttor, and a topsail Bchooner, both bound South, were sighted off the East Cape on Wednesday last, and there were 14 vessels lying wind bound in Hicks' Bay, when tho Jano passed on that day, two of which wore tho Tawera and Donald McLean, bound to Poverty Bay. The schoonor Mondewai had loft for Tairua, for a cargo of sawn timber. Captain Faulkner reports that upon his arrival at Poverty Bay from Napier, during a heavy galo ho had tho two jibs blown away, and finding it impossible to remain outside, the vessel was headed in for the river; shortly after crossingtho bar the schooner grounded for a short time, chafing off a quantity of copper and carrying away a pieco of the falso keel. Uiis will necessitate hor going on the hard for examination before sailing again for tho East Coast on Saturday next. Tho vessel soon got off after striking without any further damageHints to Wheat Shits.—During the presen season several of tho wheat-laden vessels have suffered moro or less from the cargo shifting, and in ono caeo a veßsel was compelled to return to tho anchorage with a very strong list to port. Captain Bkelton, of the Summer Cloud, made a trip acrois tho Pacific Ocean last year, and his experience may be useful to otlierß. On sailing ho had the wind from the westward, and waß therefore inclined to mako a long reach on ono tack; but on second thoughts he • changed his plan, and during the first thtee days at sen he put about repeatedly, till the cargo had fairly settled down. The barque was on even keel when he arrived in Sydney, and several other vessels which followed him, and had taken a long tack at starting, came into harbour with a stroke-and-half list. Thiß course is the more necessary with South Australian wheat, as it is contained in much largor bags, and is therefore not so well stowed as the California.— South Australian Segister, May 21. Tho Balmoral, schoonor, hence, Captain Roberts, arrived at Melbourne on the 16th instant. The Argus of tho 18th instant says:—" The barque Lorenzo Sabine returned to tho bay yesterday, after having been in collision with the schooner Balmoral, from Hobart Town, on Wednesday evening. An official enquiry will, in all probrbility, bo held regarding the circumstances." The same paper of tho previous day says : —" Tho schooner Balmoral arrived in port yesterday afternoon, after having met with light N.E. winds throughout the passage. On Wednesday evening, about, eight o'clock, when the schooner was within two or three miles of the channel lightship, she was fouled across the bow by a barque, and had her bowsprit and gear carried away. The name of the barque was not ascertained." —Tasmanian Times, May 25.
