The s.s. St. Kilda got up steam this morning, and had a preliminary run over the measured mile in the harbour, preparatory to her official trial trip, which is to come off on Thursday or Friday. This is the first time the St. Kilda has been under steam since her re-construction. The machinery worked well, andtherate of speed attained, although not high, was considered satisfactorj^. The steamer has hauled against the upper side of the Queen-street wharf, where tho few finishing touches which have to be put to her will be added. There is, wo understand, a probability of theJSt Kilda beingfput on to the Napier and East Coast trade.
