This truly splendid Vessel, just launched, and the largest
"Merchantman ever built in England, will undoubtedly prove
-to be the fastest of the Australian Fleet, as she has been con-
structed expressly with the object of attaining the very highest
rate of speed. Her vast dimensions enable the Owners to
rovide Passenger Accommodation not to be met with in any
Vessel afloat. Thorough Ventilation has been secured, and,
by means of Ports, of which she has one at every seven feet,
and numerons Skylights, the Passenger-deck is perfectly
lighted in every part. The undersigned have, therefore, no
hesitation in affirming that the TAYLEUR presents advantages
as a Passenger Conveyance superior to any Ship hitherto des-
patched to the Australian Colonies.
