STEAMER WESTERN AUSTRALIA. ' The S'atc steamer Western Australia is still at Sydnev for sale. During the negotiations which have been proceeding with a London firm for the sale of the vessel, several offers of purchase havo been- received from Eaßtern firms, but, on account of the diflSrii'ty in securing a suitable substitute, the Government is in no hurry to dispose of the boat Judging by authoritative opinions, received by the department, the Western Australia is in demand as a thoroughly seaworthy vessel, peculiarly adapted to rough waters, and the only reason, according to official statements, that the Government desires to part with the steamer is its inpn"Viont capacity for sleeper carrying and other State requirements.
