The~tJnion Shipping Company this afternoon '.- received a cable to the effect that the steamship i Hanroto sailed from Glasgow on the 25th of October. She hag eighty-two passengers for New Zea»':d. ' The first of the new steamers now but ding in Britain for the Westport coal company— the . KawatiH — sailed from the Clyde for Port : Chalmers, via Westpoit, on the 27th inst.' This steamer will be followed from the Clyde by the . . Arawaiti about the Ist of December, and by the - Wareata' about the Ist March next, both for the ■ante [company. These steamers are all of the same dimensions and power, being 170 feet in length, 26 feet in breadth, and 11 feet 3 inches depth of hold. They are intended to carry 500 tons on a draught of 11 feet, and will be employed trading between Westport and tlie principal New Zealand ports. It is the intent ion of the directors of the company to order several more steamers of j.a similar class for their Westport and Greymouth ''•coal trade. ' The Botomahana was taken into the Graving dock yesterday afternoon, in order to ascertain what damage she had snstoined whilst she was on the Irocks inside the Bluff Harbour on Sunday -last, - - As soon as the dock wa's pumped ouc an examination was made, iwhen it was"; found |that . the damage sustained was far m're serious than ■ had been anticipated. The vessel certainly made no water, but the cause of this no doubt was, that the most serious damage is under the water-ballast tanks, which are fullof water. The whole of the damage is on the port side, a little abaft amidships, under her machinery. It has been caused by the heavy weight of the vessel while lying on on the rocks. Besides a number of dents in her ,; plates there is a hole under the boiler, also two holes under the ballast tanks, while her rolling choke is twisted and broken in all directions. - This no donbt added to the strength of her being built of steel, and was the saving of the vessel, for had it not been for the rolling choke there is '■ < every probability thai: her bilg-s would have sustained most damage. Her keel forward and aft is also much damaged. She . is expected to be rsady for sea again in a fortnight. ' "
