The steamer which has been sent Home for lar the Northern Steamship Company of Auckland is to be in length 25ft greater than the s.s. Wellington, and will have a foot more beam M,«in that steamer. She is to be fitted up for passengers. . Tho American Government ib building at Delaware an iron steamer to coat for the Fish Commission. Its dimensions will be Length, 2oOft; beam, 27ft 6in ; depth of hold, jgft 9in; burden, 800 tons. It is to be named tba Albatross. It will bo fitted with a deep sea Arsdge and eight miles of wire rope. One of the first important services of the Albatross will be tfca transportation to London of the American OT HfH»tiAn for exhibition at the great fish exposition next May. The Orient steamer Cnzoo s recent passage from London to Melbourne was accomplished in forty-two days, including stoppages at St. YinAsnt and the Cape of Good Hope. Some of nor raining from the Cape was remarkably good, the beat day’s work being 358 miles and several / Athens 340. When the las* mail left New York suitable diipe for the Australian and New Zealand trade were next to impossible to obtain at any figure, very heavy rates had been paid. This is attributed to the springing np of a demand for jwm'tt for the English and Continental markets, which gave steamers full employment, the withdrawal of a number of vessels by charter to the English Government for use as transports to Egypt, and a large barrel and ease oil trades for ...Kng ships, also by reason of few arrivals especially of sail, freights had advanced greatly. According to the “ Kolaiaohe Zeitnng.” a young Norwegian is about to undertake a feat of almost unexampled daring. B e proposes to cross tho Atlantic Ocean in a rowing boat which he ia having built for his own use. It is 12ft in length, 4ft wide, 2fi to 2JEt in depth, and has a covering before and_ behind. A socalled floating anchor will, it is said, serve to keep the bow of the boat in position when the Occupant of the oratt is asleep. _He thinks the Golf stream will help him considerably in bis journey. He will not, of course, be able to oook during the voyage His victuals will consist of bisonit, preserved meat and vegetables, "*teondonaed coffee, and 50 gallons of water. Bis early experience in his native waters makes him entertain no fear from any sto ms which he may encounter. He has some idea of taking a wager on the accomplishment of his task witbin 100 days, bat the main object of his experiment is to show what a hardy Norseman can do in ihe way of enduring exposure on the open sea.
