Mr James Mills, managing director of the Union Company, returned by the steamer Ventura. He states that he has passed orders for five new steamers. One for the Intercolonial trade, similar to the Maheno, will be finished next year. Another fast turbine steamer, of 3000 tons, to replace the Rotomahana for the Lyttelton trade, will have a speed of twenty knots and accommodation for six hundred passengers. There will be two cargo steamers—one for general trade, with a capacity of 7500 tons, and the other for the Westport coal trade, of 3200 tons capacity. The fifth will be a tug boat to tender the Company's vessels at AVellington.
