Among the latest charters are the barque Lola to load coal at. Newcastle for Lyttelton, after making a run to Auckland and Kaipara ; the barque Clan M'Leod, 646 tons, to load coal at Newcastle for a New Zealand port; and the barque Kincluuc, to load produce at Timaru for South Africa. Nearly the whole of the first class passenger accommodation and more than half of the second class accommodation on the s.s. 1 apanui has been taken up, but a considerable amount of room remains in the third class. Air J. G. Stowe, United States ConsulGeneral at Cape .Town, writes from the South African port quoting reports circulated thcie that- a line of steamers owned and operated by American capital will be shortly put on the Australian line from the United States, possibly from San Francisco, and urging that a lino from New York to South African ports would bn just as feasible, and is just as profitable and just as necessary. Huddart.. Parker, and Co. have contracted with the Blyth Shipbuilding Company, Blyth, for the construction of a large passenger and cargo steamer for the Australian trade. The Blyth firm were, the builders of Huddart-Parker’s steamer Aloorabool. H.M.S. Mildura is expected to arrive at Port Chalmers on Monday afternoon. She remains for her crew to take part in the celebrations of the return of the troopers home. The Moana-, from Sydney via Wellington and Lyttelton, arrived alongside the George street pier at 7.50 a.m. to-day. She left Sydney on the 12th inst., and reached Wellington at- 3.15 p.m. on Wednesday; left again at 6.10 p.m. on the 17th, and'arrived at Lyttelton at 6.50 a.m. on the 18th; sailed same day for Dunedin, arriving as above. From .Sydney she experienced moderate to fresh southerly winds and moderate to high sea and southerly swell until the 14tb, then light N.E. winds with clear weather and S.W. swells to Cape Farewell, followed by fresh S.E. winds and fine weather to AVellington, and from that port fine weather to arrival. Some smart work has been done recently by the schooner Clyde. She sailed her last voyage from Lyttelton to Greymouth, with a full cargo each way, in fourteen days, and she has just run to Auckland from Lyttelton in five days.

ARRIVAL OP THE CANTERBURY. AN ADVENTUROUS PASSAGE. The Shaw, Savill and Albion Company’s ship Canterbury, the arrival of which was noted in our issue of yesterday, was lowed into port by thu Plucky, and anchored in Deborah Bay until this morning, when she was brought up to Dunedin. Pratique was granted at once, everything being in order. The Canterbury is still in command of Captain Collingwood, and he has ossociated with him the following officers :—Chief, Mr Disney; second, Mr Garrett; and third, Mr Parmer. Mr R. Locke is still steward. The Canterbury comes into port in perfect order, in spite of a very troublous voyage, and her time from land to land was ninety-two days. She brings a cargo of 2,500 tons of general merchandise, most of which is consigned to Dunedin. Captain Collingwood makes the following report of the passage :—The vessel left Glasgow on Heptemhber 22, and proceeded to the Tail of the Bank; lay there seven days, and left again on September 29 ; anchored, and left again next day, but meeting a furious S.W. gale was compelled to run back for she’ter; she left Lamlash again on October 3; met a strong southerly gale, and was compelled to seek shelter in Belfast Bay, with the loss o' her lower topsail and foresail ; left again on October 12, beat down Channel, and passed the Tuskar Light on October 14; thence she had strong S.S.W. (o N.W. winds, and passed and sighted the island of Madeira on October 22; the trade was moderate, and carried her down to latitude 5 deg X. on November 2, when it gave out, and was followed by light and variable winds, which carried her across the Equator on November 6. in longitude 23deg W. ; the iS.E. trade was picked up on November 6, in latitude 2deg S. ; it was well to the eastward, and caused her to tack on three occasions ; it finally gave out on November 20, in latitude 25deg N., longitude 50deg W., and thence she had light, variable winds, and passed Cape San Roque on the 9th of that month; crossed the meridian of Greenwich on December 5. in latitude 59deg S., and then tool: the first of the brave westerlies, whit.. took her round the Cape of Good Hope on December 8, in latitude 42deg oOmin S. ; (hence across tlie Southern Ocean she had the ordinary passage winds from N.V . to S.AV., and ran down her casting in the parallel of latitude 45dcg S. ; passed Cape Leeuwin on December 50, had variable weather, and breasted Tasmania on January 8; from that point she had strong S.S. K. winds until she passed the Snares, on January do, and thence, strong N.E. winds, with thick weather, along the coast; sighted Nugget Point, and signalled at noon on the 16th inst. : had clear weather, and passed Gap? Saunders at 2.51 p.m. on the 17th inst., arriving ns above. THE WHITE STAR LINE. the addition of (he twin-screw stcajiier Survic, launched recently at Belfast from the yard of Messrs Harland and U ollf, the new Cape and Australian service of the White Star line will shortly be completed. The. Suevic is identical in dimensions and tonnage with the Runic, which v,as launched in October, and which was despatched on her first vovnee on the 3rd of Januaiy. Length lover‘all) 565 ft. breadth M.t, gross tonnage 12,400. The White i tar Australian fleet will be a remarkable one. inasmuch as it will consist of five highclass steamships of the same dimensions—among the largest afloat-all propelled bv tu in screws : and also because it marks the introduction of an interesting experiment hi ocean passenger travel. The latter consists m the, accommodation being arranged for one class of passengers only, at moderate f;!. rrs> lns 'tcad of the usual separate classes thus far, in (he Afrit, Medic, and Persic, the second of which inaugurated the. new semce in August, 1G99. the company have had every reason to feel satisfied with the result of their experiment, which seems to have been much appreciated by the travelling public. The great width 'of these vessels has rendered it possible to provide Imht and roomy cabins, with ample bath and lavatory arrangements. There is a capacious dining room capable of seating 400 persons, besides comfortable reading and smoking rooms ; and the large deckhouse, in which is the passenger entrance, is fitted wkli seats to form a sort of cost lounge or shelter. The promenade extends' to a length of oOCft. The iSuevic will be fitted with refrigerated capacity for 100.000 carcasses of mutton, and in addition will be able to carry 20.000 bales of wool. The advent of the Suevic will bring up the total• tonnage of the White Star line engaged in the trade between Great. Britain and"the colonies of Australia tend New Zealand to 89.000 tons. THE DIRECT STEAMERS. The Koranic:,. which left London on December 20. sailed from Gape Town on the afternoon of the 16th inst. The Tokomam. which sailed from Wellington homeward bound on December 22, left Monte Video on the afternoon of th" lotli inst. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS.
