The Tarawera sailed at one o'clock to-day for Gisborne. Regarding the steamer Great Eastern, the Pall Mall Gazette says :—“ The hopes of the Unfortunate holders of shares in that most Unlucky speculation, the Great Eastern steamship, have once more been falsified, and their White elephant is still upon their hands. Not Only has the reported sale of the vessel to a company, by which she was to be used as a coasting hulk, fallen through, but the presumptive purchasers have, it is said, com. menoed an action at law against the present proprietors for breach of contract. Wherein the alleged breach exists is known only to the directors of the ill-fated company ; and these gentlemen, so far from satisfying the curiosity of the shareholders, merely express themselves ' at a loss to comprehend ’ the grounds of action. For the rest, the accounts of the company for the past year are far from cheering. The total receipts amount to £173 Is. Id., including the sum of £24 paid in fees by visitors to this colossal failure. The expend : ture, on the other hand, reaches the total of £2834 6s. 7d.”
