Niccol have no less than five schooners of various sizes upon the stocks, most of them in a very forward state of completion. Four of these are to the order of various parties, and will bo out of hand shortly, and in each case wo understand they are repetition orders, testifying to the satisfaction with

which former orders were executed. Two of them are being built especially for the Messrs. Goddefroi and Son, of Samoa and Hamburg, similar in build and rig to the schooner,Vailcle, which was sent down to the islands .by-the Messrs. Niccol some eighteen months ago, and are adapted for collecting cargo at the various groups in the Pacific. The order for these was received about two months ag*‘ and the rapidity with which the order will be completed is evident from the fact that the two vessels, about 20 tons each, will be launched next week, when tire agents uf the Samoan firm, Messrs. (Jruickskank and Co., will despatch them under the charge of. Captains Lombard and Schultze. The larger vessels, that is, the.two which are built to ord**r, are for local owners, one of about 140 tons register, is tu the order of Mr. McEwen, and one of 130 tons, to the order of Messrs. 11. F. Anderson and Co. -The third one is being built on spec, should register about 100 tons, and will be launched shortly after tUe others arc out of hand. Negotiati ns are in p ogress for the construction of other vessels, and whatever may be said of the dullness which prevails in shipping circles, the number which this lirm, in conjunction with what other builders have in hand, indicate that the pre-eminence which Auckland shipbuilders have enjoyed for a long time still continues. The shell of a paddle steamer, which cam© out from England in flections, has been put together by Messrs. Niccol. and was launched on the 10th inst. The dimensions of the steamer arc—HCft. on the keel, Isift. beam, and Oft. lOln. depth of hold. Her machinery, which arrived in the barque Iron Queen, from Loudon, consists of, a high-pressure engine ef 25-horse power nominal, but capable of working up to 100 ; geared on diagonal framing, while the boiler is 16ft- long and f>B’t- Hi diameter, made of the best material, and tin* paddles 13ft. The principal saloon, which is amidships, is 2Gft long, the full width of the vessel,. ventilated by a large skylight and a number of sideposts, capable of giving sleeping accommodation for thirty passengers, while the capacity for ordinary travellers would be double that. In addition to this there is a ladies’ cabin on dock, which will be fitted up with every convenience and taste. The fore-cabin is 22ft. long—the width of the vessel —and, like the other compartments, will be finished in a neat and substantial manner. While the space allotted to passengers is largo, care has been taken to provide for the conveyance of cargo—two holds having been set apart for this purpose largo enough to fulfil any demands made upon the vessel for a long time to come. The Tougariro will be rigged as a fore-and-aft schooner. The steaming power of the vessel, it will be seen, is large endugh to make her a fast boat, but what the rate of speed will be the trial trip will show, the directors preferring to let facts speak for themselves ; but those who are most skilled in such matters state that she will bo one of. if not the, fastest steamers in the harbor. She will measure about CO tons, and will be put in the Thames trade as soon as ready. •
