TIIE NEW CLIPPER SHIP " LOCHIEL."—• Amongst the vessels now loading in this port for Australia the line new clipper ship Loeltiel challenges admiration, not only for the perfect symmetry of her model, but also for the excellent character of the arrangements err board for the accommodation and comfort of the passengers. The Lochiel is on her first voyage, and is one of the " White Star Line of Australian Packets," belonging to Messrs. Pilkington and Wilson. Her registered tonnage is Sliti tons; her length, over all, 170 feet; her beam, 31 feet • and it is evident, from her proportions. that her buil:ler has had in view the production of a fast-sailing, and, at the same time, a roomy vessel—in every respect • conveyance suitable for the trade for which she has been expressly designed. One of her most valuable recommendations is the fact that she is single-decked ; and her passengers being thus aeconimodisted all upon oue fluor, perfect ventilation can be more easily provided. She is, moreover, very lofty between decks, and affords to each passenger considerably more than the space prescribed by Act of Parliament. In her fitting-up the greatest liberality and care for the comfort inn health of those on board base been displayed by her owners; and every MeSOS adopted which their great experience could suggest. Berths are provided on iier main deck for 'MO passengers. Of this number the greater portion will be second-class, occopying that part of the ship from before the main hatch to the stern. From her extra breadth of beam, the space between the berths on each side is very ample. Forward of the main hatch is fitted up for a limited number of third-class passengers, a bulkhead being erected between the two classes. She is well ventilated by side ports, in addition to which she has air simfts through lier main deck, and neat companion-ways leading between decks and fitted with skylights, both light and ventilation being thus secured. Her poop is set apart for first-class passengers, of which she has berths for about 30, with most comfortable accommodations; and a portion of tins and of her deckboo:se—the latter capable of carrying about 40 persons—is being fitted op with berths for families, for whose pessage a small increased 1,70 will he charged. Tire crew will be kept entirely apart. under the foreastle deck. There is very ample space for passengers to promenade on deck vvithout impeding the working of the ship.
