Temson, and Dale. Vessels making port to-day report heavy weather outside, and this condition nt affairs apparently extends up and down the East Coast. The Tyser line steamer Star of New Zealand, which left Napier at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, should have arrived here yesterday morning, but up to the time of writing there was no sign of her. The Union Company a steamer Taviuni is also making a long passage from Auckland, from which poit she should have arrived yesterday evening. Both vessels have probably put to sea on account of the heavy weather on tho coast. The Talune, which left Wellington for Lyttelton at 2.20 p.m. yesterday, evidently struck heavy weather on the run down the coast, as ehe did not reach the Southern port until 2.20 this afternoon. The Rotomahana, which loft Wellington at 8.10 last night, arrived at Lyttelton at 2.15 this afternoon. The barque Fclecitas, which has been lying in the stream for several months past, broke away from her moorings last night, and went ashore on the beach' at Kaiwarra. It is understood Unit the vessel is on a sandy bottom. The Harbourmaster (Captain Johnson) advises that tho black buoy at the Staple Rock, south of Worser Hay, has broVen adrift, but will bo replaced as soon as the weather permits. The failing of the Wakatu has been delayed until 6 p.m. to-morrow. BT TELEGRAPH? GLASGOW, 19th September. Sailed — Aupouri, the Northern Company's new steamer, for Auckland.

Rain fell again last night in Wellington,, but the weather cleared up this morning. This afternoon the sky again became heavily overcast, and threatened more rain. Snow fell at Queenstown last night, and rain .at Christchurch and Balclutha. The shade temperatures in the four centres at 9 o'clock this morning were:— At Auckland 54deg., Wellington 53deg., Chri6tchurch 40deg., and Dunedin 45deg. The hearts of Miramar Councillors have been cheered of late by the business-like aspect of the local wharf. A complaint was received at last night's meeting of the Council re the crowded state of the wharf on .two occasions recently. This led the Mayor to remark that it was good news to hear of the large shipments of timber at Miramar, and it was also good to notice in the shipping columns of the local paper that such and such a steamer had left such and such a port for "Miramar." The Defence Department has issued an order that in all cases where volunteers,, while in training camp, become sick, or are injured while performing some military duty, they are to be shown on the parade-states "Sick." In every case a medical certificate that the volunteer was unable to attend parades, by reason of sickness or injury caused by or 'received on military duty, must accompany the parade-states on whioh he is shown as sick. Capitatnni in such cases will be allowed. Mr. Arthur Coe, of the Wellington agency staff of the Equitable Life Society, is lying seriously ill at his hotel in this city. Tho civil action in -which Christopher Pinnock, plasterer, last Tuesday sued ■his brother, Georgo Pinnock, of the Trocadero Restaurant, for £200 wages, camo before Dr. A. M' Arthur, 6.M., for further 'hearing this afternoon. Mr. Beer© appeared for plaintiff and Mr. Findlay for the defendant. Defendant was being cross-examined a 6 wo went to prass. While inspecting the deer in the Albury ranges, members of the South Canterbury Acclimatisation Society were agreeably surprised to find, in the high limestone rocks on the Government reserve, hundreds of native pigeons. It is the intention of tho Acclimatisation Society to guard these birds jealously from destruction. As an admirable sanctuary could be made on this reserve for pheasants, it is probable that the cock pheasants which tho South Canterbury Acclimatisation Society arc getting from Blenheim, and the hen pheasants they are to geb from the Taranaki district, will bo liberated there. No date has yet been fixed for the enquiry which the Cabinet has directed Sir James Prendergast and Mr. H. S. Wardell to make into the matter of the suspension of the four Post Office officials in Christchurch in connection with the" voucher incident. The members of the Board of Enquiiy are still in Wellington. The New Zealand Volunteer long and efficient service medal has been awarded to Lieutenant C. E. Carter, oil the D Battery. The colonial mails which left Melbourno per R.M.S. Orient oO tho 16th August, via Naples, arrived in London on 'the night of the 18th inst., one day early. At tho meeting of members of tho No. 3 Co-operative Building Society of Wellington held last evening, to decide by ballot a loan-appropriation, the number drawn was 109, 'held by a member who holds 'three shares in the society. Mr. Georgo Smithies, formerly Town Clerk and Engineer at Petone, has resigned the post of Towen Clerk at Wangnnui, to accept which he left Petone some three- years ago. At a meeting of tho Wanganui Council this week (says the Chronicle) Councillor Liffington spoke in glowing terms of the manner in which Mr. Smithies had carried out his duties, and regretted that his health would* not permit him to continue his office. The Mayor endorsed this tribute, but he was glnd that while the burgesses were losing a very valuable Town Clerk they were 'not losing Mr. Smithies's services entirely, .
