ARRIVAL OF THE JUNEE.

A NEW COASTAL STEAMER.

The Junee, the new steamer which has been built by the Adelaide Steamship Company for general cargo and stock trade on the Australian coast, arrived at Port Adelaide on Monday evening from the eastern States on her maiden visit to Port Adelaide. The Junee is a sister ship of the Sea Belle, and is exactly like her, except that her arrangements have been adapted to the Australian trade. The builders of this steamer were Messrs. Mackie & Thompson, of Glasgow, and she is classed 100A1 at Lloyd's. The Junee is constructed of steel, and her dimensions arc 312 ft. by 42 ft. beam and 18ft. 6in. in depth. The gross tonnage is 3,132, and her dead weight capacity about 4,000 tons. On her trial trip, when fully loaded, the Junee averaged 11 knots. Messrs. D. Rowan & Co. have equipped the vessel with triple expansion engines of 1,500 indicated horsepower. Capt. T. Allen, formerly of the South Australian pilot service, who is in command, brought the steamer out from Glasgow. She is to leave for Western Australia this afternoon.
