From London, via way ports, the C. and D. liner Makarlni arrived in port yesterday morning. The vessel made a smart passage from" Napier, averaging 16£ knots. This speed could have been increased a good deal, but steam was reduced so that the vessel would arrive at a convenient hour. Captain H. Hollis is still in command, and has with him the following oflicßi's:—Chief, Mr. 0. Higga; second, Mr. W. H. Carrick; third, Mr. R. Ncedham; fourth, Mr. H. Smith; chief engineer, Mr. J. Anderson; second, Mr W. Middlemass; third, Mr P. Ei> Miners; fourth, Mr A. Henderson; fifth, Mr W. M. Anderson; sixth, Mr E. M. Mackrow; seventh, Mr Gnnn. The Makarini is expected to sail to-morrow for Brisbane to load for Home. ' TO PREVENT PILLAGING. With regard to the scheme now being arranged at Melbourne in connection with the handling of cargo in order to prevent pillaging, etc., little can pc learned yet (says the Sydney Shipping List). It is understood, however, that the scheme is that the agent 'Of a vessel \vill take delivery of cargo on behalf of consignees, and place the g«6ds in sheds, to be provided by the trust, or stack them on the wharves, subject to the regulations of the trust. The agent will be liable to consignees for loss of or damage to\ goods, except in the case of fire, from the time ho take? possession to the time of delivery to consignes, or for removal by the harbourmaster, under the regulations of the trust. A conference will take place shortly, when the question of charges for the work will be discussed, and if the proposals of the shipowners' representatives are accepted by importers, the scheme will be inaugurated as speedily as possible. Advice from Sydney states that although shipping agents and importers the>e are not saying much, they are watching the Melbourne movement very closly, actuated, no doubt, by the fact that should it be successful, something on the samo line is sure to follow at Sydney. CARGO OF TILES. Discharging tiles is a very slow and tediou3 job, owing to the fact that every- tile has to be carefully passed out of the ship's hold from hand to hand. Under the circumstances the Combermere's Port Chalmers cargo is being put out at a fair rate of speed, and it is expected that tlie big ship will be ready to proceed up to Dunedin next Wednesday for further discharge. She has about 3W.000 tiles to put out at Dunedin, aftei* which she will proceed to Lyttelton to complete her discharge. It is (luite probable that the Combertnere will be towed to Lyttelton direct by the tug Dunedin if the present negotiations regarding towage provo mutually satisfactory. KIA ORA LEAVES MONTE VIDEO. ' Bound from New Zealand ports to London, the Shaw, Suvill, and Albion Company's steamer Kia Ora made a call nt Monte Video, and continued- her from there last Thursday afternoon. The vessel's last port of call in New Zealand was Auckland, having sailed from there on the 18th June. STAR OF INDIA AT MELBOURNE. After a smart pussage of 39 days from London the C. and D. Line's steamer Star of India arrived at Melbourne on Friday last. She next visits Sydney, Auckland, and Nupier, and then Wellington, being due here early next month. Continuing her voyage from New York to Wellington the A. and A. Line's chartreed steamer Franklyn sailed from Sydney yesterday for Auckland. She is due hero about the 22nd July.
