The Challambra, which was launched on July 4, lias had to he returned to dock, as the port shaft °P cnl "S has had to bo rebored, and the date of her delivery cannot bo forecasted. Ino culj other vessel concerning which information is available is tho Goolcha, which was launched on July 9. Mr. Poynton is dissatisfied with the rate of progress being made, and he is unable to say when the contracts will be completed He states also that there aro indications that t,no shins will cost considerably more than was originally calculatcd-fJI a ton.
