builders in New York, expressly for the passenger trade.
Iler dimensions are, measurement length, 250 feet ; over all,
265 feet; beam, 45 feet ; height between decks. 8 feet. This
large amount of space will allow of unusual comfort and
lserthing room being provided for passengers. The best Cabin

which they afford by any vessel which ever sailed in the trade
from this or any other country. Splendid accommodation is
provided for Second Cabin Passengers, but no Intermediate

LKINGTON and WILSON, Commercial buildings.

cable, should the weather prove unfavourable on her sailing

longing to it has ever put back or met with any accident,

passages on record, viz.: Marco Polo, first voyage, left Li-
verpool for Melbourne 4th July, 1852, arrived back 26th
December, 1852 ; voyage, including detention abroad, 5
months and 21 days. Second voyage, left Liverpool 13th
