CONGESTION. OF SHIPPING AT ' V. ' WANGANUI. : Som6 weeks:, ago _ tho tradespeople of Wanganui were 'discussing tlie advisability of increasing .the present fleet of steamers plying .between that port and Wellington, with a view to,. receiving : their goods ; with v more Promptitude. Nothing further has been heard of. the. matter, lately,, but a complaint in another direction has arisen, viz., tliat the. storage .accommodation for the receptipn of • imports at Wanganui is/inadequate. This later gnerance comes, from the agents of the vessels at Wellington, who arrange cargo ' for a steamer, only-to find that the vessel will not return to Wellington in time to take it through, being unable to discharge her. cargo on arrival at- Wanganui. The Huia and Oreti arrived in Wanganui from Wellington on Tuesday!'afternoon., Instead of discharging and returning to \y ellington yesterday, the Huia left Wanganui at 110 and the Oreti.is to sail from thero' at 3 o'clock this morning. The southerly weather that sprang'up yesterday is almost certain to detain the two'steamers on' their ; voyage to Wellington. ' " • ■ ARRIVAL OF .THE MOERAKI. 1 .: . ' ■ ' A ROUGH PASSAGE. .
