She proceeds to Port Chalmers about 9.30 a.m. to-day, and leaves for Sydney, via Ccok Strait, after the arrival of tho 2.30 p.m. train from Dunedin.

The Daily Mail says:—"lt- has been decided that the more romantic proposal to name the new fleet of steamboats built by tho .London County Council aftci' distinguished peoplo connected with tho Thames shall superecdo the first prosaic idea of r-imply numbering them. The 30 names decided upon at Tuesday's moot in? are: King Alfred. Edmund Ironside. Olaf, Charles Lamb. Karl Godwin. Fits AHwin, Colechurch, Chaucer. Whittimrlon, Cax'.on, Thomas More, Gresham, Francis DriSte, Raleigh, Shakespeare, Marlowe, Alleyn, Urn .Tonson, Christopher Wren. Ri'nvs. Ptircell, Sloano, Yanbrugli, Boydell, Gibbon, Ronnie, Brunei, Turner, Carlyle, Morris. King Alfred successfully defended London against tho Danes. Chaucer tois at one time Comp-

trollcr o[ Customs in tlm Port of London, and many of Shakespeare's plays were produced in theatres on the. banksido. Moreover, the committee proposes to nlacc a. tablet in the cabin of each boat giving a short historical note of the. person nft-er whom thu noat is named. Mr John Bum? and Lady it is added, helped' considerably with their suggestion of names." Boydell, whose name it. is pronosnd to perpetuate, was an alderman, who invested a largo fortune in cncoiirairins art, and a descendant is a resident in Otago.
