Company; three 12,000-ton boats for a new service from the Mersey to Buenos Aires; and .four cross-Channel steamers for the ' LorsdoVi and' North-western* and' lirtat Western Railway-Companies. --In the case of Germany : a similar condition of 'affairs exists, although, strange to say, nearly all the orders in baud are for vessels of the; liner class.
