Auckland Shipping. The "Wiltiam Denny." — The William benny has proved herself to be a vessel every way equal to the duties of the line upon which she hus been placed, having made the passage from Sydney, in the face of strong S.E. weather, in seven days. She took her departure from Sydney about 3 p.m. of Monday, the 17th inst., experiencing fair winds and favourable weather for the two first days, and anchoring outside the North Head at 11 p.m. of the seventh day. With the wind free, and under steam and canvas, she made from ten to twelve and fourteen knots an hour ; and with the wind dead on end she ran from eight to nine knots. During her passage from the Clyde to Melbourne, which was accomplished under canvas in 77 days, she frequently performed her twelve and thirteen knots, on all occasions proving herself to be a powerful and easy sea-boat, and, as such, one eminently qualified for the Sydney and Auckland trade. We give the following particulars respecting the build and internal arrangements of the William Denny. She is a barque-rigged vessel, built of iron, divided into five water-tight compartments ; she is of 600 tons burthen, and fitted with a. screw (before the rudder) propelled by an engine of 200 horse power. Her length is rather more than seven times her beam, the former extending to 2' 0, and the latter to 28 feet. She was built in the Clyde in 1853, by Messrs. Denny, Tulloch, & Co., and with the exception of one or two trips between Melbourne and Launceston— in which she gave marked proof of her speed and power — has not been otherwise employed. Her internal fittings are unpretendingly elegant. The main saloon, which enters from the main deck, is a noble apartment of sixty feet in length, about seven feet in height, admirably lighted by deck skylights, furnished with richly stained and engraved glass. On either side of the long range of tables, there are a succession of state rooms, not entering directly upon the saloon, but approached by intermediate passages, at the end of which handsome marble wash stands are fixed. These passages a»e screened by curtains ; and on either side are the entrances to the state rooms, cf which there are twelve, each containing two berths. The inmates of the saloon are thus spared the annoyance of having bedroom doors thrown op«»n upon them at all hours. The whole extent of the saloon, on either side, exhibits handsome walls, framed in tasteful pannel work, painted in imitation of maple, ornamented with richly gilt mouldings, relieved with handsome scrolls, and surmounted by an exceedingly chaste and tasteful cornice. Music and literature likewise contribute their means of enjoyment; a piano occupying the forward, and a select library the after end of the saloon. In case of emergency a curtain can be drawn across the after part of this well proportioned chamber, and extra sleeping accommodations for about twenty passengers provided. The lower or second class saloon is situated immediately underneath the main saloon. It is well lit and ventilated ; fitted up with much comfort and convenience, being divided into four distinct compartments, each furnished- with eight sleeping places. The steerage is forward. It is lofty, well lit, and well ventilated, and possesses accommodation for about forty passengers. The cabins for- the officers of the ship are six in number, and are conveniently placed on the main deck between the fore and mainmast. The cookhouse is situated in the same locality ; and an admirable kitchen it is, with a splendid and extensive cooking apparatus, manufactured by W. Smith & Co. of Greenock, and equal to minister to the wants of at least 200 persons. The poop deck affbrks a spacious promenade. And a visit to the Bridge, where the ship is conned, is well worth while, it being fitted with the newest description of working telegraph, as well as with an alarum whistle, (for the purpose of warning passing ships) which can be beard at a distance of about two miles. The William Denny is provided with five boats, two of them life boats. She is fitted with a donkey engine which works four winches, as well as the fire hose that leads frojn the engine room to the bows of the vessel. Her daily consumption of coal varies from 10 to 15 tons according to quality. She had 350 tons on board at starting, and has room for 300 tons of cargo. She mounts six guns ; and besides the commander, four officers, and a first and second engineer, is manned by twenty-seven hands, stewards, cooks, and cabin servants included. — New Zeatander, July 2G.
