DUNEDIN'S NEW DOCK. * ■ At tho time when negotiations were being carried on for its- construction (states the Dunedin "Star") a good deal of stress was laid on the. fact that, by building the now dock, 'vessels would' be able to go into dock on the day of their arrival here, havo their bottoms cleaned and painted; and be ready to come out tho (following morning to resume the- work of loading or discharging cargo. Tlio new dock is now practically completed, and it remains to be seen whether these expectations will' be realised. As far as the handling of tho dock is copcerned, it is gratifvinK to find, judging by the despatch tho Waikare received on her last irip, that their realisation is assured. The Waikare went into dock at half-past 1 on Friday,afternoon, and at half-past 10 the same : mght she was cleaned I arid'painted and ready to be taken out, which I was done half an; hour after m'iduight. Dur- | ing the ten hours 19,840 square feet of her | hull and bottom had been scrubbed, scraped where necessary, and painted. The docking of the Waikare, although looked on as a very good performance, is., not considered to have touched the limit of pressure despatch; ? The barque Gen! completed discharging cargo yesterday, and was towed to an anchorage in the, Stream. ' - . The Blenheim was placed on the Patent Slip yesterday for repairs. ■ She is timed to resume her .running to Blenheim this evening. The Union Company's steamer Hawea is due hei'C this morning from Lyttelton. She is to embark a number of sheep for Lyttelton. The F.H.S. Line steamer Rippingham Grange is expected to leave Dunedin to-morrow for Brisbane and other Australian ports, for Homeward loading.- - According to " Commercial News," the barque Hippolas left Sydney on February 11 for Clarence River, to load a cargo of hnrrll wood for Wellington. ° • Tho S.S. Yeddo, of the Weir Line, left San Francisco on February 14, with 600 tons of cargo; for Auckland, where she is expected to.arrive about March 13. . Mi'. G. W. Andorton, late third, officer of the Taluue, has transferred to the Waikare in a similar capacity, relieving Mr. Winsloe* wl" 1 u ashore for instructioa*.

The tramp, steamer Marte, en route from Sydney to' South America, is expected, to put into Wellington for bunker supplies.
