Tin uncertainty of the voyage precludes shipping bj sailing vessels, while the accommodation afibrdcc by the mail steamer, irrespective of the danger sue delay of loading in the roadstead, is inadequate iho steamers which this company proposes to pur ciiase arc of the dimensions recommended by pi actical men of experience and standing after £ careful inspection of the Port of Rapier, and wil each be about 140 tons register, or 250 tom builders’ measurement. Length, about 120 tc 125 ft. over all; breadth of beam, 20 ft.; depth, 1 teet; draught, when loaded, 7* feet.
