Turnkina, which is due at Wellington from London awl Plymouth on Tuesday next: — Slij-m-h A. Campbell. M. Davis, K. Duncombe, Fitrh, M. ].. May. A. Uarkell, V. Lyons. M. K. I'ardoc. I'aa.-inore, I>. Passmore, Mesdames 11. A. Kitih, J. Carr-Halfey, F. L. Lyons, O. S. I'.im>more. General Sir Archibald Hunter. K.C.H., D.5.0.. Sir W. Brampton Gordon, K.C.M.U., Rev. T. Mclotyre, Messrs H. A. Fitch.

There are hi addition 140 passengers in the third -class The scow Whangaroa is under charter to load timber at Hooart for New Zealand. According to Australian advices the barque Rot Mitt, 1954 tons, has been fixed to load timber at Colombia River for Dunedin, with option of part cargo for Newcastle. Se\enty-t»o days was occupied by the dredge Eileen W ard on her passage from Glasgow to Melbourne, via Port Said. Aden, and Albany. The dredge is fitted with twin-screws, and can steam SJ knots an hour. She called at Melbourne to replenish bunkers. The Matatua, which arrived at London on Thursday last from Wellington, will be despatched again for Auckland, Wellington, and Timaru on the 31st inst. The Shaw, BaviU, and Albion Company's new twin-screw steamer Rangatira underwent her speed trials on the 7th February, and the results on the measured mile proved to be highly satisfactory. The equipment of auxiliary machinery al.-o worked smoothly and well. In ordinary course the new liner should arrive at Adelaide from Liverpool, en route to New Zealand, atwut Saturday or Sunday neit. An excursion from Lyttelton to Akaroa and back was made by the Mararoa yesterday, and about 600 people travelled by the steamer. The weather was dull, and a moderate swell marked the passage both ways. Owing to her late arrival, the steamer did not leave for Wellington till 8.23 p.m. Late on Saturday night the collier Kurow arrived in the stream at Lyttelton from Newcastle after an uneventful passage. The vessel has part cargo for Wellington, and is due here on Thursday or Friday nctt. H.M.S. Powerful is anchored near Camp Bay in Lyttelton harbour, and is thus so far from the town as scarcely to repay tliose who take a walk to see her (say* the Lyttelton Times). She is too big a vessel to come into the inner harbour, and the customary method of visiting her is to make use of tiic launches available for the run. A cable has been received advising the arrival of the Tyser liner Indradevi at London on the 17th hurt, from Australian ports, via Dunkirk. Her next voyage, which will be to New Zealand ports from London direct, will he commenced on the ICth April. It is considered likely that practically all the unengaged «team tonnage now lying in the bay at Melhourne will find its way to Newcastle eventually for coal loading.. Captain Douglas, who was formerly in charge of the barques Aldcbaran and Bankflelds, has succeeded Captain Heays as master of the barque Casablanca, the latter having resigned and retired from seafaring life. Captain Kemp, formcily of the Mimiro, is snid to he in command of the Tyser liner Uhakaru.i. which arrived at Melbourne fiom London on the 21 .tt met.
