The patentees and builders of this novel, but now approved, class of vessel, Messrs. W. Doxford and Sons, and reported to have booked orders for six more turrets. Four of these are to be ships 360 ft. lone, and are intended for Messrs. Angier Brothers, of London. The others are for north country firms. The Turret Steamship Company, which was the first firm to acquire one of these vessels, has found the working of the Turret and the Turret Age so satisfactory that it is understood they are increasing their capital to further add to their fleet. According to the Baltimore Sun, the canal connecting the Atlantic and the Pacific is to be neither the Panama nor the Nicaragua, but a canal in the north-western corner of South America, where, it is alleged the tides of the Atlantic and Pacific approach within 18 miles of one another. This statement is made on the authority of Mr. J. A. Karweise, a civil engineer who has just returned to the United States from a survey of the region. The proposed water-way is to be at sea-level. The canal works would be 8| miles long, including 11,300 feet of tunnel. The total cost, with approaches formed by dredging, would be 45,000,000d01. On the Pacific side, San Miguel Bay would be the harbour, on the Atlantic side the Gulf of Darien.

Messrs. Harland and Wolff have launched the large twin screw steamer Ikbal, constructed for Messrs. Edward Bates aud Sons, Liverpool, for their Eastern trade. She is 445 feet in length, and her tonnage 5400. She will have four pole masts, schooner rigged, and be fitted with all the most approved appliances for the working of ship and cargo, as well as with a complete installation of electric light Her machinery consists of two sets of triple-expansion engines made by the builders. THE E. L. MAYBERRY. Last evening a barque was reported as being about two or three miles outside of Canoe Rock. This will in all probability be the American barque E. L. Mayberry. from New York, via Port Chalmers and Nelson. She should arrive in harbour this morning. Messrs. Arnold, Cheney, and Co. are agents for the vessel, which, on discharge, is to load up with kauri gum and flax for New York. THE RAPID. Yesterday'morning H.M.s.

Tauranga, the latter vessel being under orders to proceed to Sydney. The Rapid left Sydney on the 13th instant, aud made the trip under easy steam, light head winds and sea being experienced nearly all the way. During her stay in Sydney the Rapid went into dock, and received a thorough overhauling. Sir Henry Ogle still retains command, and has with him the following officers :—Lieutenants Martin, Bolton, Hatchard ; paymaster, Mr. Alton; chief engineer. Mr. Chapman; surgeon, Dr. Sparrow. The Rapid will remain here until the arrival of H.M.s. Orlando, which is due early next month. THE MIOWERA. The Canadian mail steamer Miowera, which has reached London from Vancouver, is to proceed to Newcastle-on-Tyne. She will there be thoroughly overhauled, and on June 23 will leave for the first of three special yachting cruises to Norway, each of which will be of 14 days' duration. These tours have been arranged in conjunction with Messrs. Cook and Sons. The last of the Miowera's three cruises will end on August 8, and subsequently the vessel will sail on a round-the-world cruise, in conjunction with the Canadian-Pacific Railway, to take up her berth on the direct line between Canada and Australia.

DEPOTS FOR SHIPWRECKED CREWS. The Kergueleu, St. Paul, and Amsterdam Islands have depots supplied with stores and clothing for the use of shipwrecked crews. The following description is given of one of these depots :—" It is in a cave at the foot of the west cliff of a rocky chasm, running north and south, and its position is indicated by a stone cairn Hi feet in height and about 14 feet broad at the base, erected on the summit of the west cliff of the chasm. This cairn, visible from Gazelle Basin, is painted black, and shows clearly against the grey rocks which form the background. The entrance to the cave has been closed by large stones.
