She is of 1320 tons displacement, her length being 204 ft '.'in, breadth of beam 34ft liu, and draught of water 16ft. Her engines are nominally 1200 horse-power, and are capable of 126 knots per hoar on a moderate consumption of coal. She is splendidly equipped, her armament consisting of six ssin 3 ton breech-loading rifled guns, with five machine guns of the most recent type and the usual small arms. The ship's company are a fine-looking lot of men, and consist, of 153 of all ranks under the command of M. Mauceron, capitaine du frigate, her officers being M M. Allemand. Faure, Clergean, Marten and Guy Chaunac de Lansao ; Dr. Mazet, surgeon ; M. Paul Godey, paymaster.

She will remain here for a few days, and will then proceed to France via Callao.

THE DEPRESSION IN THE FREIGHT MARKET. The depression in the freight market continues. A report from London by the last English mail says :—'* Freights have now arrived at such an extremely low level that even a triple expansion boat cannot live. Tyne to Genoa at (is 6d, with 7s 6d grain from Odessa to United Kingdom or Continent — with the chance of neing ordered to a cholera-stricken portis miserable employment. All business to the Mediterranean and homewards is as poor as this—some of it, indeed, even a little worse. An owner sending a triple boat on a Mediterranean round must now make a loss of £306 to £400, per voyage. As regards the American trad<i? it is just as bad as the Mediterranean. The best outward employment is 5s IOJd to Las Palm as. and 2s 6d for grain from New York, Baltimore, or Philadelphia to United Kingdom or Continent, open charter. This means even a larger loss than that resulting from Mediterranean employment; yet managers rush at the business, and even fix ahead to secure such ruinous freights." PORT OF ONEHUNGA. DEPARTURES.
