Towns and Co., of Sydney, havo been advised by cable.. that the French steamer .Saint-Louis- arrived at Noumea on Sunday afternoon, February 11, from Sydney. It: is supposed that the vessel's noxt trip will be to Wellington, to which port sho is to tow the Kcalea Line hulk L'Aube. MANTJKA LEAVES SYDNEY. The Union Company havo received ad. vico that the Manuka is next week's Sydney Sydney at 1 a.m. yesterday. Sho has 103 saloon and 118 steerage passengers, but her cargo total will not bo known till this morning. She is not expected heje until early on Tuesday morning, and will probably go south the same day. MESS-TABLE GOSSIP. Three Aparima .cadets—Messrs. H. A. Brockett, It. D. Brebner, and A. M. Lucaswere eucoessful in the recent examination for their second mate's certificates, and have been appointed third officer on the To Anau, Koroniiko. and Karon respectively. , The work of repairing the barque Antiopo at Port Chalmers is now well ill hand, and the repairs are said to bo less extensive than was anticipated. Altogether only about six new plates have been used to ropair the two damaged portions of the vessel's hull, a number of bent and

dented plates having been straightened and replaced. A number of.new frames have been used. The Autiopo will be ready to come out of dock this week-end. The Monowai is due hero from northern; porta to-day, and will proceed to Dunedin direct at 10 a'clock' to-night, bnet receives perishable cargo, only for the southern port. She leaves Dunedon ooi Tuesday, Lyttelton on Thursday, and Wellington on Friday for Napier, Gisborne, and Auckland. The ilakauoa is at present in Auckland discharging cargo from Newcastle and Bydney. The vessel's future movements have not yet been decided. An oversea steamer at present in Dunedin ■ is one of the new "standardised 1 ' typo, her "parts" being interchangeable with other ships built from the sama drawings and. patterns. ■A peculiar accident happened at tha Queen's Wharf, Auckland, when the ferry steamer Peregrine was berthing on Thurs(lay. A piece of the irou belting caught in the bond round a pile, which snapped.. The pile remained attached to the bell* ing, and was carried along by the vessel. So firmly was the pile attached to tho belting that it took several men. some* time-to separate them. With reference to the ; recent change of ownership in the case of the coastal ateamer Tainui, it appears that the vessel was purchased by the N.Z. Eefrigerating 00. and not, as was earlier reported, by tho Wanganui Meat Freezing Co. Tha vessel will join tho company's fleet b£ lighters, which includes, besides the Tainui, the Dorset, Eunice, and Morning Light. The Breeze is due here on Sunday mgnfl from Wanganui-, and loads on Monday foe Lyttelton, Timaru, and Duncdin. The Kamo was to have left Greymoutht at 11 p.m. yesterday.
