Ihe Calm is due hero on Tuesday from Eouthern ports, and will sail in the afternoon for Wanganui. Authority has now been given for tho examination of all passengers' luggago taken, on board overseas vessels leaving Auckland, and will be dono by both tho military guard and the Ouatoms officials. This precaution has been applied to overseas shipping for some time past, but recent happenings have made it necessary to take-every possible measure to protect tho shipping. The new dredge at Patea has hcen used for a purposo othor than that of dredging. It has recently been utilised in unloading tome hoavy "lifts" from tho coaßtal stoamers. The "lifts" were pieces of machinery for ironsand works at Patea. The Ngahere arrived last night from Timaru, and nfler discharging a small amount of cargo will sail this afternoon for Greymouth. The veSßel will load coal for Wellington, and it is probable thotsho will go on the Wellington Slip early next week for cloaning and painting. Tho Putiki is due early this morning from Wanganui, and will sail this afternoon direct for Buncdin, receiving cargo until 3 o'clock. . The Tainui and Jfaua sailed last night for Wanganui. Both of the vessels will be engaged in lightering work there for a week. After the overhaul of the Mana she will enter the Wanganui, Wellington, and Lyttelton service. The- state of the bar at Greymouth yesterday prevented the Kamo from sailing for Wellington. It waß expected that she would sail this morning. The Kahu sailed last night for Oastle- , point, Plat Point, and Te Awaite, where she will load wool for Wellington, arriving here on Sunday. the special meeting of the Waterside Workers Union, called for last, night, to discuss remits to the conference, lapsed for want of a- quorum. The Marconi wireless apparatus, with which the Marine Department has decided to equip the Government, training steamer Amokura, has mostly arrived in Wellington, hut one or two essential parts have ■been held up in England, and there is no immediate pronnect of getting them at the present moment. As soon as the instruments arrivi, the work of fitting up the vessel will be commenced. The pilot at Patea reports that the channel over the bar was verv narrow an'd crooked, caused apparently by the beach making out and the sand comina round the western wall. The bar was also very shallow, and it looked hud for 4hipninE during tho present neap tides. At present the movements of shlnping are irregular.
