EXPORTS. Per Victoria, for Sydney: 5232 sacks chaff, 200 sacks sand. 140 sacks hides, 868 sacks oats, 26 hides, 20 sacks coffee, 11 empty returns, 22 empty cylinders, 21 dumps tow, 291 cases gum. 30 casks whale oil, 15 drums • gas liquor, Sβ empty ammunition cases, 30 empty hogsheads, 39 bales hemp, 4 bales horns, 100 sacks sawdust, 12 cases fish, 50 sacks broken glass, 81 bars silver (valne £8350), one stallion, and 32 cases sundries. It is expected that the barque Hazel Craig, now at Auckland, trill load timber here for Sydney. The s.s. Mangapapa did not leave for Whakatane to-day, as advertised. Her trip will be taken by the s.s. Tasman, leaving Auckland at 10 a.m. to-morrow. " The s.s. Tasman, which was recently acquired by the Northern S.S. Co., arrived from Wanganni last night. The vessel picks up hex running in the local trade tomorrow. The barquentine Volador left Newcastle on Saturday last for Whangarei with a load of hardwood for the Public Works Department. After discharging she loads white pine for Sydney. The new cargo steamer English Monarch, 4947 tons, commanded by Captain Froggatt, left New York on August 13 with a carjro o£ case oil for Auckland, ■Wellington, Lyteiton, and Dunedin. She is due here at the end of October. The s.s. Invertay is expected to arrive at Auckland from New York, via Durban, abont Monday next. She has 161.000 cases of oil for New Zealand, of which cases will be landed at Auckland. Messrs. L. C. Cillespie and Sons are local agents for tiie steamer. The Tyser steamer Hawke's Bay is expected to arrive from Liverpool direct about the end of this week. Another Liverpool trader, the Oswestry Grange, which is coming out via Australia, should arrive here towards the end of next week. The Tyser steamer Indradevi leaves Gisborne for Napier to-day. She is expected to leave Napier on Saturday next for Auckland, where she should arrive on Monday morning. The Indradevi finishes her loading for London at this port, and sails hence direct on Tuesday or Wednesday next. The local agents for the steamer are Messrs. Heather, Koberton, and Co., Ltd. Trouble seems to follow th« ship British Yeoman, forinery known as the Stefano Rnzeto. She put into the Blnff last year, and was sold by order of the Admiralty Court to provide payment for the bottomry bond, the purchaser being Mr. Waterston, of Invercargill. The vessel then loaded coal at Newcastle for San Francisco, and made a very lone passage, "which caused her rates of insurance to be raised fifteen guineas. She apparently had further troubles at .'Frisco, for an American shipping paper reports that the United States District Court has given a Judgment in the ship's favour for 17,740.68 dollars, and awarded the cargo of coal for freight and demurrage charges. The vessel returns with a cargo of lumber for Sydney. THE RIPPTMJHAai GRANGE. It is reported that instead of making Auckland her first port of call, the Federal-Honlder-S.Mre liner Eippingham Grange is bonnd for Wellington direct Consequently she is now due to arrive at Wellington about September 16, and will afterwards proceed to Auckland, tbence to Southern ports to complete unloading. SHAW, SAYTL.L, AND ALBION LINE. THE TAINUL It is understood (says an exchange) that the new passenger steamer Tainui (10.500 tons) will take up the mail running shortly, :uid that Captain Moffat will be her commander. The Tainui is anticipated to start on her maiden voyage from London on November, 12 (due Wellington Deeembet 29), and thenceforward will replace the Mamari in the mail service, of which steamer Cap- ' tain Moffat has at present command. With the advent of the Tainui the Shaw, Savill, ' and Albion Company will have a complete fleet of mail and passenger steamers of a very high class—viz.. Athenic. Corinthic. lonic. Arawa, and Tainui. The most recent addition is said to tie an even frner vessel than the new Arawa, being replete with every convpnienee and comfort for passengers that the latest innovations can supply. THE OTAKI. The new steamer which has been built for the New Zealand Shipping Company by William Denny Bros, is a similar boat to the Orari and Opiwa, and will be employed in the direct trade b&t-ween London and New Zealand. She is of 11,000 tons register, says an exchange. The Otaki is. however, i a distinct innovuxion in one respect on any other steamer on this side of the Hue. as she is furnished with triple screws. Reciprocating engines drive her twin screws, and she . is also provided with a low-pressure turbine, which drives a third propeller—this n: i being known as a combination of a reciprocating engine and a turbine. This does away with the difficulty which has hitherto hampered the manoeuvring of . turbine steamers in confined waters, and when the Otalci is berthing she will berth i as an ordinary twin-screw boat, whereas when out at sea, her turbine will be put in action, The builders claim that this type of engine should effect a considerable saving in the consumption of coal. Another addition is also to be made to the company's fleet in the way of a passenger steamer, arrangements having been made with Messrs. William Denny Bros, to build a new twin-screw passenger ' steamer, 4Soft x 60ft x 35ft, to the order of this company. Her speed will be 13 knots when fully loaded, and she will have accommodation for 56 first-class, 75 second-ciass, ' and 103 third-class passengers; but .the i third-class accommodation can be extended to hold 400 if required.
