Tlio "account ia reproduced from theNcv York filler aid : —She haß a condensing beam j£|CDgino, cylinder 81 inches diametir, and of piston twelve feet, fittel with .^Sickles' cut-off. The steam and eihauat ■jvalves are what is known as doublo-joeket ;J|or balance, instead of the single orDick |i erson valves, which w ere removed at great j expense because not working satisfactorily. Their air pumps are 48 inches in) diameter and five feet ltroke. There is an ordinary jet coi^enser, and also a surface condenser; Lightiall's patent, with independent circulating pump, etc. The water wheels *re 32 feet diameteroverbuckets. There aroVjurplain cylindrical boilers, 13 feet 4 incht? diam eter, 12 feet 3 inches long for tht after boilers, and ten feet for the forward bc^ers. I There are three furnaces, 3 feet 6 inches | diameter on each boiler, making 12 i T . i naces in the four boilers. There are 2tf) tubes in each boiler. Each boiler has a j; ehimnrf 7'feet, diameter 9 feet, 6 inches high, delivering the smoke into a tiplate common to all; the smoke pipe is 8 feet _ diameter and 86 feet high above the steam chimneys. The total grate surface is 300 square feet; the total heating surface is 7,280 square foet, without the steam chimney; proportion of fire to grato aur ftofe, "Mt to 1.

have been made to mako the ma chinery of the Dakota to conform fully m all particulars with .veil kncvin practice, having in view the extended service this steamer is intended to perform.. Modern improvement of detail, well tried and understood, have hjso bsenintroducod The boilers of the Dakota are cylindrical, made 01 extra thickness of the very best of Pennsylvania boiler iron—the heaviest f'Ter adopted in this country—and aro pntended to oany high steam with short nt-off, and thus economize cons <jhich is Tory important item in the Pacific service, rhere coal is alvrays eostily. The boilers aye been tested officially, at a hydrostatic '■essure of sixty poxmds, -which is much jgher than usual. The machinery of the \kota is intended to be operated upon the tapound principle, as far as can be with Wlo cylinder, and full hopes are enter- Hed that great speeed will be obtained p small consumption of fuel.

RIVAL OF THE CIRCUS.

LmAVs Royal Italian Circus has j Te(y the new mail steamer Dccotah i j~. .s &Yd company brings with it some j k;f;h e;entiiils of its efficiency from the I united a tes. It is a combination of talent tl} s without a rival in the world, and is dtj-iked as t| lo strongest and most talented U p e that has ever appeared. A circus ovo a n other amusements is always p(lltir< es p ec i a iiy if j t as uy pretensioi to boing "a good show." We are us rc d that evorythiug has been flono to ink it a success. Our readers \ are aware hat by tha preceding mail i steamer Ml E yder, the agent in advance, arrived m.uckland and heralded the approach of b circus. He has also not been idle m ng preparations for their appearance. Electing the best available spot m the toa—namely the site for the nevrraarket-h.se, he obtained leavo to erect a eircii9 vi]ui] ji n g. Everyone pass ing must bave-on attracted by tho hand some pietoriallacarde that havo the last week or two afaed the hoarding placed round the sits, Wing them a foresight of what they will \ permitted to see upon the opening of ue circus. The troupe consists of, fir&md foremost, Signor G. Ohiarmi, describ. a s the King of horse trainers, the Fra, O ni of America; then the .brothers Usq, tke first acrobats m the world ; Bsi>i ta Catalina Holloway, a beautiful youu}j que ,trieime ; tho Eec heda family, consxtg of Marie, Adelaide, La letito FranoiUud Guiseppe, tha eccentric musioia* the Creoles Toodora and JJelen Cuba, thU tt cra daring and ac complished equestriLe. These two Ethio pian pupils were phased out of slavery by the enterprising pjp r i e tor of tho circus. Mr. George Hollanoii somersault eques trian . Mr. 'V^l^. a. v . leaper and tumbler; Vi ss Fanny Carlo, a talented pantomimisthd gymnast; Miss . A.Bridges,an unrivallUight-rope artiste; Senorita Teresa Euiz\ graceful eques trienne ; Mr, E. Bowfad, the renowned English clown of tIA modern school. Thon comes Senor J»V Eomano, with his trained guanaco, caVed by himself on the pampas of the Aiintine Eepublic; Mr Karry Clark and MMMinnie Gracie both unrivalled gymnaati\ and La Potito Emilio. This numoronipoiEipany is ac companied by what is cfecribed as tho finest stud of horsea in theSj-orld, consist ing of nearly thirty trained steeds. Tho wardrobes, uniforms, typings, para phernalia, &c, are all of thefchest descrip tion, and form tho most coiplete organi zation in tho world. % proprietor modestly announces that toW intelligent and discriminating public %¥ praise and exaggeration aro supernuous,W a simple statement of fact iss all that iilecessary.

Our friend Archard seems to\o in lucks way. He won the Occidental Wcepstakos on the Melbourne Cup with 4^ thereby netting a sum of £42. He \ no w the fortunate winner of the CalcuttaWeepstake on the lOllerslie Handicap, by ivhich he pockets a sura of £61 ss. \
