'An Imperial parliamentary paper published in January shows the amount spent bj'; Great Britain and othor countries upon naval protection, and the proportion in which: these amounts stand to the commercial interests involved. The United Kingdom, with a mercantile maiine of more than 9i' million tons, with a foreign trade which shows annual clearances of nearly 49 million tons, and a home coasting trade of 54 million tons clearances, spends upon its naval seagoing force £33,302,260. The Empire altogether spends just on 34 millions «terljng. India and (lie colonies contribute less than £700,000 between them, although -ilio Australian Commonwealth alone shows annua! clcarances of shipping amounting to 12 million tons. Two new high-speed liners are to ho constructed for the Cuitard Company, one at Barrow-in-Furness and the other at New-castle-on-Tyne. These veesols will be 760 ft long and .of 32,000 tons displacement, and in order to assure that they will steam from port.to port at the unprcccdently high speed of 25 knqts, they are to bo practically full boxes of machinery, the boilers and engines occupying, with the coal bunkers, the whole or the nndcr-water part, excepting for the immense cold-air rooms nccessary for the carrying of food supplies. But in view of the ".'great length of the ships and their height they will carry a population far in excess of the 2000 or 2600 accommodated in the existing liners. It has .been dccided -to fix three screws in each vessel; each of these screws will bo driven by an entirely separate engine, capable of developing or. the .Atlantic 20,000 indicated horse-power, so that tjje three engines together will he equal to the enormous total of 60.000 indicated horae-power. The quadruple expansion system will be adopted, so that alto-.getlior-there are likely "to be 18 cylinders in the main propelling engines, and these will ibe the first ships fitted with three screws for the Atlantio service. The lime allowed for the building of the ship.; is from '25 to 27 months, so that they should bo on their station in May or June, 1905. The barque Silvcrstream, which arrived off the' heads on Sunday afternoon from East 'London, South Africa, is to load at Dunedin fur a Homo port, and was towed into port and anchored in the lower harbour yesterday afternoon.
