3, zOO tons, 500 horse power. This magnificent and fart.famed
snip, fitted with oscillating engines, is the most celebrated
steamer afloat. Her- last passage to Melbourne was made in
55 days 16 hours, and back to Queenstown in 59 days, perform-
ing the swhole.yoyage of 28,000 miles in 4 months and 26 days,
including .a detention at MelboUrne of 31 days, a feat never
before accomplished by any vessel. The Great Britain affords
an opportunity for paoengers to reach Australia in as short a
time as by the overland route rite Seuthanipton, Without
incurring the very heavy expenses attendant thereon, and
avoiding entirely the discomfort of frequent changes. Her
saloon arrangements are perfect, and combine every possible
convenience; ladies' boudoir, baths, &c.: and her noble pas-
senger decks, lighted at intervals by sideports, afford unrivalled
accommodation for all classes.
