It appears that the Otago, the last vessel sent
out to Australia by the Intercolunial Royal Mail
Steam Packet Company, made the passage front
the Isle of Wight to Melbourne in 56 days, includ-
ing stoppages of two days at St. Vincent, and three
days at the Cape of Good Hope. She left the Cape
of Good Hope the 10th December, and arrived at
Melbourne the 2nd January, traversing nearly
7,600 miles iu 23 days, equal to an average speed
of 124 statute wiles per hour, a performance which
is believed to be unprecedented. The Otago is a
new screw steamer of 800 tons burthen and 150-
horse power uoininal, and was built by Mr. J. G.
Laurie, of Glasgow. Her engines were by Messrs.
Blackwood and Gordon, of Port Glasgow. She ie
to be employed in the mail service between Sydney
and New Zealand.
