Westralia, and is now i mariue superintendent at Sydney for the company, will be pleased to hear that he was pre- ] scnted with a beautifully illuminated addre«B on ; th? occasion of his relinquishing tan command of ; the Westralia. Referring to the presentation, the cirmmstarce aro*e very happily. There had been ! held a concert is aid of the Shipwreck Relief i Society, when the opportunity was taken by thß passengers to present Captain Bull with it, ex- j pressing their esteem an>! gratification at his pro- I motion to the position of marine superintendent of the Huddart-Parker line. Mr Henry Magill, H-ho had made th« round trip iv the Westralia, was entrusted with the presentation of the ad;lres». and previous to reading it said that the niiccesss which attended the Westralia was in a marked deg'ee associated with the genius of Cap- I rain Bull, v/hn had designed and had had her con- ! Btriictefi under his personal supervision. Th« Trench war vessel SufFren is a screw cruiser of licft 2iti lontl, 71ft 2in beam.

She will be armed with no less than 52 guns, of which 30 will be quick firers. A report recently received compare* the harbours of Port Arthur ahd W R i.hai-wei <xa follows:—"There is but one berth in Port Arthur j Harbour of any value, while Wei-hai-wei offers much greater possibilities of making a good nival station because there is better anchorage, and it ii more capable of improvement. Port Arthur woul'l never hol'l a vessel like H.M.S. Powerful, fur example, though, of course, it is at present more advauced tbaD Wei-hai-wei, having its own <lock 3 already. VVei-h»i-w«i will be much the better station, and will afford anchorage for any ; ship. In that respect, its value as a port for shipping is incomparably the better." The Lords <>f (.he Admiralty, in expressing their (banks for Uie services tendered to the battleship Victorious when she {.'roundel at Ihc entrance of ih'j Suez Canal by then? Pectan, forwarded a cheque for £60110 U- Messrs M. Samuel and Co. for ■ iistribiitiou as follows : £SUOO for tht owneis £50(1 for Captain Hor.k*n, :<n<l £500 for the.ship's . company of the Pec'-an.
