Dacotah will leave New York in a few days from date, via Cape of Good Hope, for Melbourne, to take her pace in the Webb line. No expense has been spared in the outfit of this ship, with a view to speed and the comfort of her passengers. The arrangement! are very superior to those of her consorts, the Nevada and Nebraska. It is a source of congratulation that the only obstacle to a pleasant voyage between the Colonies and this country — transhipment at Honolulu —is soon to be avoided. We shall give in our next a full description of the L acotah that our Colonial friends may judge of her met its.' We team from good i authority that Mr Webb intends buiidmg ' two additional ships for this line with all liossibie dispatch ; this he is enabled to do, as Congress has repealed all duties on shipbuilding material entering into the construction or repair of ships. — News of the World, July 17.
