SAPPHIRE. - The Sapphire, the latest addition to the squadron on the Australasian Station, came Into this port under sail yesterday evening at 6 o’clock, from • Auckland. ■ • She is quite a new vessel, haring been , launched atDaveuport in September, 1874, this being only her first cruise. She is built of wood, and is ship jjmd, carrying an immense spread of canvas, which could be witnessed yesterday afternoon as she came up the harbor under almost all sail. She is 1800 tons, : bullderfs'measnrement, and has a powerful arm an cat on board, carrying 1 , as she does, 14 muzzle loading 68ponnd rifled guns, a very effective class of ordnance, and 75 Martini-Henry rifles, while there is a veiy plentiful supply of Harvey's torpedos, moat formidable engine of destruction, revolvers, pistols, cut- . lasses, and other implements of war on board. There are embrasures atstem and stern for pivot guns. Theartillery,' both small and large, is kept in splendid condition, and the same term applies to every other part of the ship, as she comes into port an embodiment of discipline and. cleanliness. The dimensions of ‘ the Sapphire are given, as follows Length between perpendiculars, 220 ft.; length overall, 247 ft.; beam, • 'B7ft- and' depth of hold, 13ft. The engines, which drive a screw, are compound condensing of 860 horse power nominal. They are a credit. to .the builders, and wore made at Howthorn's well-known establishment, and are of great strength and highly finished. The speed of the

Sapphire when under steam Is from 12J to 131 knots per hour on a consumption of coal computed on a scale of one ton for every 16 miles distance. Withithe canvas spread, and without the aid of steam, it is said that she can reach the same speed, and when sail and steam are continued she can reel off 14 knots comfortably. The complement of men and officers on board the Sapphire is 225 all told, and of these SO belong to the marine artillery, and are in charge of a sergeant-major.
