Mr Hardy Johnston writes to the • N. 0. Times' that the correct depth of water at low tide in Kakanui harbor is from 13ft to 14ft, and 19ft to 20ft at full tide in the channel between the piers, thus leaving lrom 6ft to 7ft as the depth of the rise and fall of tide.

Eespectinpr the schooner Annie Hill, about whose safety considerable doubts existed, the ' New Zealand Times* has the following : —On reference to our Auckland shipping telegrams, it will be seen that the schooner Annie Hill has arrived at Kaipara, after a very long and fearful passage of nearly thirty days from this port. Her voyage is another instance of the uncertainty of the weather which is to be met with on this coast, when it takes one vessel thirty days to go a few hundred miles, and another vessel, that left at the same time, and was in company a portion of the way, only four or five days.

The Eotoru will make Auckland the firat port of call on her next trip from Sydney, instead of Mankau, iu order to avoid possible delay at the Manukau bar incidental to a vessel of the Eotorua's draught. By this armugement the prompt delivery of the Son Francisco mail down the East Coast will be ensured.—* N.Z. Times.'
