The Te Kapa returned from Wairoa with passengers and cargo at 9 30 p m. yesterday. Weather permitting, the will leave again to-night. "She ss. Fanny left for Pourerero last night with cargo. Ihe U.O; ss. Te Anau, which left Wellington at 7 30 p m. yesterday is due at the breakwater at 1 p m to day. She has 80 tons of oarp;o to laud. After taking on board the outgoing passengers at 8 p.m , tho Te Anau resumes her voyage northwards. The bat que Norman Moljeoo is now ready for sea, and will Bail for London flr.t favorable breeze. A summary of her cargo will appear later We wish her master, officers, and orew, a qaiok and pleasant voyage. 'iho White Btar liner Brltannio completed her 250 th round voyage 1o and from York, and her 600 th passage across the Atlantio, where she arrived in the Mersey in December last, after a passage of only seven dayß eight hours, despite the faot of her having met very heavy weather. During these voyages the has travelled a distance of 250 times 6200 nauiioal miles, or more than 1J million statute miles without renewal of engines or boilers, a performance probably without parallel in the history of steam navigation. She has carried 57,400 saloon passengers, and 165,600 steerage. She haß been under steam 114.U00 hours, and 105,800 hours under way. She has used 613,000 tons of ooal, and her engines have made 300,000,000 revolutions. The last run home from New lork to Southampton made in December by tho Hoith German Lloyd ateamer Kaieer Wilhelra _er Grosse was finished during a heavy gale. Iho net time of the passage from Sandy Hook to the Needles was 6 days 17 hoira 8 mir.utes. the distance travelled was 3065 sea miles, and the average .peed throughout the whole voyage 22 35 kcots>, or about 28 statute miies per hcur. The ba.t steaming hither.. haß been 2201 knots during a trip by the Luoaiii3. Ihe Queen, the third steam lif.boat recently acquired by the Boyal National Lifeboat InLtitution, has been assigned to New Brighton, an important station on theMersy. Being ettcd on the turbine principle of hydraulio propulsion, it will oarry no external apparatus of sorew or paddle wheels, thus obviating as far as possible the risk of disablement by fouling wreckage The n.w boat uses both ooal »nd oil fuel, 8401b of which were oonsumed for a speed of nearly nine knotß in its trial run of two hours.
