The 'Hawke'sßay Herald' of the 11th ins , says : — We are happy to learn that a steamer, expected to arrive at Auckland in the couise of three or four months, w likely to be open to purchase by tho company; and, from her description, which we subjoin as extracted from the « Southern Cross,' she would seem to be in all respects suited to the Napier trade, , We are glad to be able to state that a new and powerful iron steamship has been purchased in Scotland for the East Coast trade out of Auckland. This new steam vessel is to be named the Rangitari, and has been built by Messrs Gourley, Brothers, the eminent iron ship builders of Dundee. She will be launched not later than the 31st of the present month, and goes round by the Caledonian Canal to Glasgow, where she will load for Auckland. She may be expected to sail from the Clyde early in March, and, allowing for a four months passage, may be looked for here about the beginning of July. The purchase of this vessel was effected while she was in course of building, by Messrs J. Cruickshank & J. Matheaon, both of Auckland, and the ' builders contracted to have her completed at the end of January. Her dimensions areLength of keel 144 feet. Breadth of beam 21 feet. Depth of hold 10 feet. Builder's measurement ...... 297 tons. Carrying capacity in h01d.... 200 tons. She is to be propelled by marine engines, of 60 horse-power (nominal!}. It will be seen by these particulars, that the Rangitari will be a noble addition to the fleet of steamers in tho Australian waters, and will do credit to this port, Sho is about equal in size to the White Swan, the loss of which to our trade was so keenly felt. Like the Claud Hamilton, the Rangitari will have tho Commander's cabin on deck* Her cabin accomodation will be oxcellont, giving space for twenty -two; and there will be berths for eighteen in the steerage. The ladies' cabin will be specially commodious. Tho cooking galley &c, will be amidships. The Rangitari is modelled on the lines of the Great Eastern, and will combine the latest improvements in vessels of her class. She will be commanded by Mr J. Matheson (of tho firm of Rattray and Matheson), who will have the honor of bringing out to his adopted country the finest steamship belonging to any New Zealand port. We wish him and his now command a prosperous voyage to Auckland. The Rangitari has been bought on account of Messrs Cruickshank and Smart, Mr D Graham, Mr A. Watt, Messrs Rattray and Matheson, and Mr. Wm. Taylor, who commissioned Mr Matheson to go to England, and purchase a steamer afloat, if possible.
