About nine o'clock yesterday morning the TJnion S.S. Co.'s Australia arrived from Wellington and East Coast porte with a general cargo. She left Wellington at 6 p.m. on the 22nd, and called at Napier, Gisborne, Tokomaru, Waipiro, Awanui, and Oreti Point, experiencing moderate and fine ■weather during the passage, and berthed at the Queen-street Wharf as above. We learn that Captain Crawshaw, of the B.s. Australia, is to take charge of the island Eteamer Wainui on her arrival here from Wellington, from which port she comes in charge of the chief officer, Mr. Stewart. Mr. Kemp, formerly chief officer of the s.s. Te Anan, has been appointed to the command of the Australia. Shipowners and others will notice by reference to our advertising columns that alternative tenders are invited, closing on Wednesday, for the floating or purchase of the s.s. Chelmsford, as she now lies stranded at Opotiki. The Chelmsford is a staunch vessel, of light draught, and very suitable for the coastal trade, in which she has been successfully engaged for some time past. From Lyttelton the brigantine Circe arrived in port yesterday after an uneventful passage of three weeks. She brings a full cargo of grain, breadstuffs, etc. The Circe left Lyttelton on the 6th May, and experienced northerly and nor'-westerly winds, with moderate weather during the whole of the trip. She was off Tiri on Saturday, and made the harbour yesterday. The schooners Christina and Agnes Martin arrived from Russell yesterday, both bringing cargoes of coal from Opua, the former 100 tons and the latter 65 tons. On Saturday the discharging of the American barque Essex was completed. The barque Elinor Vernon is at present engaged in getting out her inward freight. As soon as this is finished she will at once begin to load gum for New York, while the Essex will remain in port until the Elinor Vernon is a full ship, when she will be placed on the berth for the same port. The Fijian steamer Wainui, which was reoently injured on her trip to Wellington, has been repaired, and is expected to arrive here this evening. She will take in cargo and leave for Fiji to-morrow evening. The three-masted schooner Maile hauled in to the Queen-street wharf and berthed at the inner western tee, where she discharged a portion of her cargo. From Rarotonga and other islands the well-known trader Ada C. Owen is expected daily to arrive, with copra and island produce.

The following information in regard to the largest steamship in the world, the City of Kew York, which was recently launched on the Clyde for the Inman Line, will prove of interest: The City of New York is 525 feet on the waterline, or 560 feet overall; 63| feet beam, and 42 feet moulded depth. Her gross tonnage is 10,000 tons. She has four oomplete decks—promenade, upper, main, ■aid lower —with partial deck above promeiwtde deck, and partial deck below lower dock. The number of complete transverse watertight bulkheads, all of which are witheut doors, is fourteen, so that the average length of each compartment is 35 feet, or a tittle more than one-half the breadth of tho

vessel. She is fitted with two sets of engines, each eet driving a separate screw, lhe engines, which are recognised as being the best in the world, are in two separate compartments, subdivided by a watertight bulkhead, and the boilers are "V thr _ee separate compartments, completely cut off from each other. The new steamer will run from Liverpool to New York in the Inman line.
