STEAM SHIPBUILDING ON THE CYLDE.—The first
of a fleet of steamers now being built for the postal
and general service of Java and the other extensive Dutch
possessions in the Eastern Archipelago, has been launched
from the yard of Messrs. Randolph, Elder, and Co. The ves-
sels are to be built on the composite principle, in which the
whole of the frame or skeleton is of iron and the interior of
wood. The number of vessels required is nine, varying from
1,000 tons and 200-horse power to 500 tons and 100-horse
power, with large freight and passenger carrying capabilities.
The construction of the four largest of these steamships has
been intrusted to Messrs. Randolph, Elder, and Co., and
they are being fitted with horizontal geared engines, likely
to be attended with economy with respect to fuel. The ves-
sel just launched is named Kcenig William 111. She is
225 ft. long, 51ft. broad, and 22ft. deep, and her draught of
water when loaded will be 121 t. The fine steamer Europe,
one of the fleet of three built by Messrs. Scott and Co., for
the French Compagnie Gen6rale Transatlantique, has
made a satisfactory trial of her engines in Victoria Har-
bour, Greenock. The burden of the Europo is 3,400 tons
builder's measurement, and she is a sister ship to the
Washington an& Lafayette, at present plying between
New York and Havre. The machinery of the Europe,
like that of the sister ships, was made by the Greenock
Foundry Company. The engines are side lovers of 850-
horse power nominal, and the diameter of the cylinders
is 941 in., with a stroke of 108 in. The paddles aro 37ft
Gin. in diameter. The boilers of the Europe are six in
number—four of them are for working the engines, the
two others being donkey boilers. The four large boilers
weigh, when empty, GO tons each ; they are 22ft. long, 14ft.
high, and 12ft. broad. The four boilers have among them
1,131 brass tubes, each 7ft. long and 3in. in diameter, and
they are fired by 24 furnaces, each 10ft. long.
DEER DYING IN THE HIGHLANDS FROM WANT OF
FOOD.—In the neighbourhood of Craithie, adjoin-
ing the Royal estates of Balmoral and .Abergeldie, the
storm is so severe that the deer are very badly off for food,
and have in some cases died from want. Necessity has
made them bold, and they have begun to plunder the stack-
yards of the farmers, by whom they aro regarded as any-
thing but welcome visitors.—. Dundee ildrerttoer.
