THE ARMING OF SWIFT OCEAN STEAMSHIPS.

Some Interesting Koeords of those Chosen by tho English Govorameut. A recent cablegram informs us that the English Government are arming tho fast Atlantic steamers Orogon, Arizona, Alaska, America, and others, in view of hostilities with Russia, for use as fast .cruisers. These vessols ara four of the fastest and most magnificent steamships afloat, and as the part which thoy may play in the anticipated struggle would bo an impor tant one, some particulars concerning the capabilities of each which wo have col lected should prove of special interest: — The Oregon. This vessel is one of the most handsome and speedy ever launched. She waß built by .John Elder and Son, who also built the Arizona and Alanka, and particulars of her dimensions and performances are as fol lows :—Dimensions, OOOft x 54ft x 38ft ; gross tonnago, 7.250; probable displace ment, 11,000 tons ; draught, 20ft; crate surface, 1,57") square feet; probable horse power, 15,750; consumption offuolat2lbsper hour, 337 tons per day ; consumption be tweon Queen3town and .New York at re corded speed, 2,155 tons ; recorded speed, 1792 knots ; time occupied in steaming, 6 days tJJ. hours to do 2,750 knots. Tho Alasft:i. The Alaska, like tho Oregon, belongs to tho Williams and GuioD Line, and has made some remarkable voyages in her time, as will bo seen from the following record :— Dimensions, sOoft by QOft by 38ft; groaa tonnage, 0,932; probable displacement, 11,400 tons; draught, 26ft; grate surface, 1,180 square feet; probable horsepower, 11,800 ; con sumption of fuel at 21bs per hour, 253 tons per day ; consumption between Queenstown and New York at recordod spsed, 1,736 tons; recordod speed, 1G"8 knots; time occupied in steaming, C days 22 hours to do 2,790 knots. Tho America. This fine vessel, one of the National Line, was recently built by Thomson and Co., of Glasgow, tiho wrs constructed with the hope that she would do the trip between Queonsiown and New York in six days. How far this waß rral'sed can be ascer tained from tho following, which includes her dimcisions and record up to last year : —Dimensions, 340 ft. x 61ft. x 36ft. ; gross tonnage, 6,000; probabb displacement, 11,500 tons ; draught, 20ft. ; grate surface, 900 Eqraro feet; probable horse power, 900; consumption of fi'el at 21bs per hour, 182 to is per day; time occupied in steaming (Quoenstown and New York), 6 days 16 hours. The Arizona. The Arizona also belongs to the Wil liams and Guion line In 1881 she afltoiiahed everybody by making the voyage from Queenstown to Xew York in 7 days 8 hours 32 minute.", and her fast trip, which was made pubscqiiently, was accomplished in 7 days 7 hours 18 minutes. Sho was, however, eclipsed by the Alaska about a year later, when tho latter made the homeward voyage from New York in the remarkable time of 6 days 18 hours 37 minuteß. The best daily run of the Alaska was 447, which was mado in November, 1882.

AUCKLAND AS A TRANSHIP PING PORT.

The following interesting letter from Messre L. D. Nathan and Co. on tho above subject was read at tho Harbour Board yesterday afternoon :—We desire to place before your attention certain suggestions in reference to the transhipment of goods ex direct steamers to this port which we think are of some value as concerning the income of the Board and the general advantages to the port. We received cable instructions irom London in reference to tho Coptic, due this week, that "no goods were to bo trans shipped at Auckland," but wo have since ascertained that these instructions wore given under the belief that the facilities for transhipment business here were not equal to those provided at Wellington, und we have induced Captain Babot, the Marine Superintendent of tho Shaw, Savill, and Albion Co.'s line, to defor confirming these London instructions until we could represent to tho Board what the facilities lit Wellington aro, and what are equally required hero, so that Auckland could havo its proper share of ono of the most profit able portions of the shipping business, Captain Babot is in Auckland now, and if tho Board will undertake the charge of all transhipment cargo, and givo receipts for it, tho steamer discharging and paying all trucking and fctorago charges, arrange ments will bo mado for tho discharge of 1,000 tons of transhipment goods here in stead of at Wellington, where those facilities aro obtainable. As agents for the steamer, as well as to somo extent roprosonting the mcrcantilo interest of the port, we are anxious that tho Board will see its way to give the facilities referred to as a prece dent, which will have a very good effect in its bearings upon the future. We may here state that the frequent making of Auckland a first port of call by Messrs Shaw, Savill, and Albion Co.'s steamers largel) depends upon these very reasonable facili ties being given. Every leading port in tho Southern part of the colony is aiming and striving for the securing of the possession as a distributing port, as, in many ways, very considerable material advantages are gained both to the receivers of the various boards and to the public." It was resolved to make an experiment of the plan proposed in the letter on the same terms as in Wellington, the secretary to telegraph and obtain particulars of charges in that place. It was stated in the course of discussion that Auckland had storage accommodation much superior to that of Wellington,

WAITAKEREI WEST ROAD DISTRICT.

A meeting! of tho Waitakerei Weßt ratepayers was held at tho Board room, Waitakerei railway station, on Saturday, the 11th inst. There were present elovon ratepayers, also the Chairman and Secretary of the East Board. Mr John Smyth, Chairman of tho Board, presided, and stated his viows in regard to abolishing the Board. Ho thought that, with the small revonuo now at the Hoard'a disposal, thoy could do but very little towards the number of roads to be maintained. He considered the two sys tems were no longer required. Any work of { oi portanoe the county had to be called on to do, and it was now time to terminato this unneces sary expense,- Mr J. G. Kelly stated that aßhe had lost confidence in the member for the riding, respecting his action in slopping the Valley Raid, he had altered his opinion. He should now vote for continuing the Board as a check upon their member.— Mr Simpson considered tho time had now ex pired for tho Board to be longer useful.—Mr Hunter was in favour of its continuance After a considerable amount of warm discus sion, the Valley Road cropping up. evideuuy tho chief griovmico o£ the day, Mr Kelly pro nosed, seconded by MrO'Neil, "That the Road Board continue as it is." and on being put to the meeting it was carried by a majority of three. Tho Valley Road was the next and most impor tant business. The Chairman, in explaining his action respecting the Waitakerei Valley Road, said that he had tone into it with tho intention of doing his utmost to get tho Council to carry the road through, but found some of those who had signod the special rate petition had written to the Council requesting their names to be taken oiF it, and others declined signing for an exten sion of the road through thoir land, which ho was anxious to place in tho hands of tho county. And immediately after the county had decided on taking this road eomn ot those he had considered his chief supporters sold out at three times the rating valuation thoy had suned to pay upon, and this speculator imme diately after placed it on tho market at an enor mous profit. There was also no hope of any ar rangement other than taking Mr Dilworth's land under the Publio Works Act, and the risk of heavy compensation for it. Under all those circumstancef, ho considered he would be doing an injustico to many ot those who had signed to pay tne interest on The rnonov to bo borrowed for this road, and himself in particular, being tho, largest ratepayer, in addition to giving about two miles through his land for nothing. Ho therefore withdrew from it. Ho had oppos. d an application for a driving license in tho creek, ana would do Ms utmost to pi event monopoly in lauds as being detrimental to settlement. The meeting had dispersed, and was recalled at the instigation of Mr Kelly, when he proposed, and Mr O'Neil socondcel, "Ihat the explanation of tho Chairman was totally unsatisfactory, and that the ratepayers have no contldonoe in their member," which was lost by three votos. This terminated a vei y noisy meeting.-(Courespondknt.)

We are requested by Mr Moss to state that the suggestion made by him to tho Hon. Mr Ballance for trains to the Volun teer encampment was for Easter Sunday and Monday, not for Sunday trains only, as would appear from the reply of the Hon. Mr Richardson to a deputation from tho Chamber of Commerce yesterday. The reply received from the Defence Minister was, Mr Moss tells up.oxaotly that reported in our Wellington telegrams, namely, that the Native Minister had applied to the Public Works Office, and found the proposal for Sunday and Monday trains to the encampment impracticable. It is much to bo regretted that thoy were not run, for tho friendß and families of the Voluntooi'S, as well as a great many of the general public, wore deprived of the oppor tunity of attending tho church tervices at the encampment, which many would, under the circumstances, have liked much to do. Between the two departments, tho Defonce and the Public Works, a very regretable blunder has been made, but it is too late now for a remedy, ,
