THE B.M.S. CLYDE,

The P. *na O. steamship Clyde, which hns jast made its first journey to Sielbourne, is the fourth new steamer placed on the Australian line by this company, within a few months, aud it U stated that the company propose building seven more fine vessels of a similar type, nnd and in an equally magnificent manner. The Clyde, which coat something like £147,000, was built by Messrs. Denny and Brothers, Dumbarton, and engined by Denuy aud Co. She Iβ over 4100 tons gross register, and classed at Lloyd's 100 Al. Her principal dimensions are —Length between perpendiculars, 390 feet; breadth moulded, 42 feet; depth moulded, 34 feet. She i» built with straight stem and eliptical stern, is fitted with two funnels, and rigged as a three-masted schooner. The masts and principal yards are of steel. The lower holds and 'tween decks afford capacity for 3750 tons cargo. The Clyde has accommodation for 126 first and 48 second-class passengers, in rooms ranged alongside each side of the main deck and under hurricane deck amidsh*.p3. The bath-rooms contain solid marble baths supplied with hot and cold water thronghout. On entering the companionway to the saloon, one is Btruck at once with tho great beauty and detail in the finish of the vessel, but on descending the staircase and entering the salopn there is a feeling of wonder and pleasure at the scene. This saloon is situated aft of the engiae's boiler, measures 45 feot x 39 feet, and is. lighted from the sides and through a large skylight on the roof of the deck-house overhead. The deck-house encloses music-room, captaia'3 room, and the companion, through ■which entrance to the main saloon is obtained. All these apartmentsaro furnished in the highest style of art. With regard to the main saloon the architects' efforts have been most successful. Here the Eastern architecture is. pleasantly blended with the renaissance, and contributes to the luxuriousness and cheerful aspect of the ealoon. The panelling fore and aft and across the aft end of the saloon is worked into bays divided by pilasters, the principal weoda used being satinwood and sycimore down to the dado, and from that to the floor mahogany, walaufc, &c. The side ports, with satinwood architraves and carved caps, are surmounted by arches, the space between filled with embossed canvas, decorated in gold and crimson colours. Gold is largely used in decoration, and producss a charming effect, combined with the delicate whites and grey« which constitute the prevailing colours of the painted work. The fore end of the saloon is devoted to side-boards, bookcases, lie, the centre sideboard, containing a harmonium, the case of which has been specially designed and executed in satin-work. In the centre of aft bulkhead of saloon a handsomely cirved fireplace in satinwood has been placed, having marble j*mb inlaid with onyx, grate in cast brass and bronze, the whole surmounted by a plategUss mirror profusely embossed. In tho front of the fireplace 13 a beautifully worked screen of cut crystal and brasswork. In the music-room is a beautiful piano (Collard and Collard), fitted in a sycamore case. The piano ie placed in a recess in the fore end of the room, supported at each side by a smaller recess, in which elegant j flower vases are placed. One peculiar and beautiful feature of the work is the ceiling of tho j saloon. The table lamps are of a Florentine cinque cento design in motalwork, with cut raby glass; the other lamps are similar in character. The door handles of the music saloSn are of an extremely beautiful design in ivory obruss, electroplated with gold. The floors of the saloon and music-room are laid with paraqnet of special design. The dining tables are fitted in the saloon to accommodate first-class passengers, the seating in connection with which consists of circular revolving chairs of special design. The smoking-room on tho upper deck is panelled in white-veino.l marble, incised and gilded and paraquet floor. Tho furnishings include marble tables and lounge seats. The accommodation for second-clam passengers is in the fore part of main deck, with six berth rooms at eidea of vessel, with dining accommodation in centre. Bathe and other conveniences are fitted admirably. The engines of the Clyde aro of compound inverted direct-action description, of 5000-borso power. The officers of the Clyde are Messrs. E. M. Edmond, K.N.R., commander ; Vv. D. Mudie, chief ; O. Noke, second ; A. Weinson, third ; Berrymin, fourth; and Morton, fifth officer; Dr. Dunlop; J. Kocke, purser; and D. Kennio, chief engineer.
