To keep up the Picton connection the Haupiri •will call at that port on Wednesday, instead of coming from Nelson to Wellington direct, as is customary. Arrangements have been made for tho Waiiaka to ship 44) horses at this port prior to sailing for Newcastle and Calcutta. Captain M'Lean, of the Mapourika, reports very dirty weather on the West Coast last week. Despite the floods in the Westport and Greymouth rivers, the steamer kept up her timetable running. Amongst the cargo of the ship Norwood, which arrived at Lyttelton from New York on Saturday afternoon, were 25,000 cases kerosene. The passage occupied 99 days, she having come from the Equator in the smart time of 54 days. This morning the Huia brought from tho Aramoho Freezing Works 613 carcases mutton and 217 quarters beef for transhipment to the Eangatira. The meat was put aboard the big steamer in first-class condition. The Huia left for Wanganui this afternoon for another load— about 1200 carcases mutton — and should be back in Wellington early on Thursday, The barque Akaroa was berthed at the Queen's Wharf yesterday afternoon, and broke bulk tbis morning. Notwithstanding that the vessel's decks were almost continuously under water for the last month of the voyage from Liverpool, the cm-go is turning out splendidly, and not a trace of the illeffects of a very rough voyage is discernible— a result equally satisfactory to the owners, local agents, and consignees. The steamer Gertie, owned by a Wangtmui Syndicate, was to huve left Newcastle on Saturday night. It is stated she put into Sydney, and not Albany, owing to a defect in Hie nmchin&ry. Mr Horsley, who has been over to Australia on business connected with the vessel, is returning by the Monowai, due in Wellington from Sydney to-niorrow. It is understood that Captain Crawford, of the Huia, severs his connection with Messrs C. Seager and Co's fleet at the end of the present month, and it is doubtful if he will again take up the active duties of his profession. The captain, who is highly esteemed in shipping and mercantile circles, has been identified with shipping interests in tho colony for 23 years. He began as second officer of the lona, and afterwards commanded the steamers Eowena, Argyle, lona, and Glenelg. Then he transferred his services to the Kanio Coal Co, was master of the Waitahi until that vessel was laid up, and entering the services of his present employers as mate of the Stormbird, ten years ago was promoted to tho command of the Huia. During the time Captain Crawford lms been in command of coastal steamers he has enjoyed singular freedom. from accident. It is his present intention to settle iv Auckland,
