Northerly strong to gale, probably with rain all other places. The cyclone is continuing on its route to tho S.E., aiid will probably pass eastward of the North Cape; there is also a cyclone to the' south and west of Norfolk Island, .travelling south-eastward, and' a low pressure from the west is approaching the South Cape. It is probable that all of these disturbances are decreasing in energy, but the one approaching North Cape has the greater intensity. • > B. A. EDWIN.
