Tbe New South. Wales steam marine haa received a valuable addition in the shape of the Wentworth, a new steamer of nearly 1000 tons burden, purchased for the Australasian Steam Navigation Company. The point worthy of special notice is that she is fitted with the modern compound engines, and can make eleven knots an hour on a consumption of eleven tona of ooal par day — that is to say, she could make the run through to Sin Francisco on a consumption of less than 400 tons. She has brought boilers and machinery for the City of Melbourne, which, when fitted, will be able to achieve the same results. This vessel left Dartmouth on the night of the 23rd April, and anchored in Table Bay on the 16th May. She accomplished a run of 5888 miles,- making an average 0f, 256 mile a day, or 10f knots for every hour, carrying one of the largest cargoes ever taken to the Cape, her freight being between 3000 and 4000 tonß.
