It is believed that the time has now 1 come for such an alteration in the means' 1 of communication with other ports as. this Company contemplates. The ra- < pidly increasing trade of Wanganui, the< great difficulty settlers have in conveying their cattle to a market, and the iucreas-' ing demand in the more thickly popula ted parts of the country for the ruralproduce of this district, all point out the necessity for placing the coasting trade of this place on a more satisfactory' footing. * It is well known that the conveyance 1 of. Cattle and Goods by sailing vessels for short coasting voyages is uncertain, and in the case of perishable merchandize almost impracticable. The facilities hitherto afforded by the Wellington Steam Navigation Company, while perhaps all that could be reasonably expected, have not met the wants of the district ; and serious loss both of time and money has been occasioned by the frequent delays occasioned by the want of power of the steamers or other causes, and by the unsuitable accommodation in them for cattle and sheep. The vessel whioh it is proposed to purchase will be a Screw Steamer of about 296 tons burthen or 150 tons register, drawing when loaded ft., with 21 ft. beam and 140 ft. overall; built and fitted up with moveable stalls, for the accommodation of Cattle. It is believed a!t present that such a vessel is being built in anticipation of a proposal made being accepted : and as the order for the steamer goes home by the September mail, it is reasonable to expect she will be here in less than n ; ne months. It may be with confidence anticipated that this Company will be able to secure a considerable addition to its income by the carriage of the mails between this and Wellington. The steamers at present bringing the mail once a month receive £SOO per annum for the service.
