A cable to hand states that the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company's Mamari left London on April 27, for • Lyttelton direct, and is duo at the southern port on Juno 8. SUo is in ballast. The "Otago Daily Times" says .that the unusual circumstance • of one of. the company's boats leaving the Homo port in ballast, it is understood, is due to an effort on the part of the man* agement to relieve the block in the freezing works, which at Ghristchurch and elsewhere are at present freezing more meat than can be taken away. . TOKOMARU, PROM LONDON. A report of the voyage of the Tokomaru, which arrived at Duncdin on Friday, showj that the vessel left London at midday on March 10, proceeded down the river to Holehaven, loaded a quantity of explosives, and sailed for Dunedin at 8.15 that evening. Light easterly winds and fine weather were experienced down channel and across the Bay of Biscay, Cape Finisterre being, passed at 4 p.m. on the 13th. Moderate southerly winds and dull weather prevailed from there to Teneriffe, where she reported at 4 a.m. on the 17th, and two hours later she exchanged signals with the same com« pany's s.s. Matatua, Homeward' bound. Light N.E. trades and fine weather pro-, 'vailed to th» equatoi, which was croased on March 24. Light to moderate S.E. trades, but a considerable swell, were met with towards the Oape, which was rounded on April 3. In latitude 41deg. 54min. S., longitude 34deg. 55min. E., on April 7, the French baraue (KDG P) was passed,, bound froin a Mediterranean port to Lyttelton. She was 94 days out/and wished to be reported "All well.-' The run across the Southern Ocean Was marked by a succession of north and north-Casterly gales and high seas, considerably Irig the vessel's progress. Orossing the Tasman Sea a dense fog was encountered but the 'weather cleared on approaching the New Zealand coast, and the Snares were passed at 1.30 on Thursday morning, and at 4.30 p.m. the Tokomaru was reported passing the Nuggets. A barrjue and a four-masted ship, both steering east, were passed the day before the Shares were sighted. Captain Macfie is still in com* mand of the Tokomaru.

The Tyser liner Whakarua, at present loading at this port, will probably get away for Gisborcie this afternoon. Captain M'Lean, of the Horiowai, transferred to the Tarawefa at Lyttelton, on Saturday, and Captain Bobertson, of tho Tarawera* took tho Honowai to Dunedin. Mr. W. 11. Waters, late second engineer of the Westport Coal Company's steamer Canopus, has becomc a partner of the Dun- ' edin firm of J. Anderson and Co., brassfounders and engineers. j Titania, four-masted barque, 1031 tone, • has been chartered to load phosphates at Fabre Island or Surprise Island for edin. I On Saturday afternoon, the Nikau left ' Wellington for Nelson, with £ho fcow Ugaru iu tow, and she arrived at Nelson at U a.m. yesterday. As previously men-. tioned, the Ngaru will be used to assist in the raising of the Anchor Shipping Com- - pany's KoI. ' /On Friday close on 10G0 tons of general cargo was handled at the' wharf at Nevr Plymouth from tho southern steamers Corinna and Te Anau. The cargo handled,: . with that of the Rarawa. constitutes probably a record foi* the wharf (says tho "News"). The Corinna landed 550 tons, arid - tho To Anau landed 412 tonrf. The "Ee4eTaVS.ott\&er-Shlic "Line steamer Cornwall, which left Lyttelton on "Wednesday for "West of England .ports,, loaded, tho following cargo at Timaru and Lyttelton:—From Lyttelton—For Avonmouth: 5493 sacks of wheat, 4164' carcasses of muttoa and lamb, 616 crates of cheese. For Liverpool: 15,353 carcasses of mutton and lamb, . 400 cases of preserved moats, 3.0 casks of .. tallow, 367 sacks of peas,. 285 sacks of beans; 1233' sacks of wlioat. For Glasgow:101 casks of preserved meats, 113 crates of cheese, 2365 sacks of wheat, 1207 sacks of> peas. From Timaru—For Avonmouth-. 249S . carcasses Of frozen mutton and Jamb, 1603 sacks of wheat, 276 sacks of oats. For Liverpool: 18.8C0 carcasses of mutton and lamb. For .Glasgow: 15G0 carcasses of mutton and lamb, 210 sacks of wheat. , The new coal bunker at the breakwater" l is nearing completion (says a New Plymouth exchange), and the dredge is now employed in providing berthage spaee to allow of small colliers to moor alongside and' discharge direct into it. The new blinker is quite up to date. It has a hold- * ing ,: capacity of about 2QO tons, discharging from the bunker to the dredge ' (or whatever boat may require ,qoal) is done by means of a chats, allowing the .coal,whon the bunker is full, to come out'almost automatically. As the Harbour Board will most probably always keep a largo stock of coal on hand this should prove a convenience to any coastal steamer, which is driven by adverse weather or.' other causes out of its course, to replenish her bunkers here.
