Wimmera, for Sydney via Cook Strait, August 9. Talune, for Auckland, August 10. Moeraki, for Melbourne, August 12. In port noon to-day:—At Dunedin: Zealandia, Corinna (steam). At Port Chalmers : D««von, Koonya, Pukaki, Te Anau, Moana, Progress, timaru (steam). We understand that in consequence of the circumstances attending the stranding of the Waihi at Wairau bar, Captain Backstrom is resigning from the service of the Union Company. The Timaru Harbor Board's dredge is completing the overhaul to her machinery at the George street pier. The Pukaki was floated into the graving dock tbis forenoon for cleaning and painting. The Cape Corso, having finished discharging cement for the new dock, left the George street pier on Saturday afternoon for Lyttelton, at which port she will discharge the balance of her cargo from London. The Koonya, from Greymouth via the Bluff, arrived alongside the Bowen pier at 8 a.m. yesterday, and commenced this morning to discharge 156 tons of coal, after which she steamed up to Dunedin to discharge the balance of her cargo. She left Greymouth at 7 a.m. on the 2nd inst., experienced fine easterly weather until breasting Cascade Point, when she met strong westerly winds and sea, which continued to arrival at the Bluff at 1 a.m, on the 4th inst.; discharged cargo and left same evening, arriving as above. The steamer Port Stephen, mentioned in the shipping lists as loading Australian coal fox this port, will not come here. Also she is loading at Newcastle, not at Port Kembla. The Zealandia, from Sydney via Auckland, arrived alongside the tongue wharf at 2.15 p.m. yesterday. She leaves on the return trio at 3.30 p.m. to-morrow. The Warrimoo left the cross wharf for Melbourne at 3 p.m. yesterday. The new steamer Como, 5,137 tons, has been chartered to load a general cargo at New York for Australia* or New, Zealand ports. The little schooner Madora, which left Lyttelton on Thursday night for Dun-

edin, came to an anchorage in the stream, and had not left finally yesterday. The old barque Fleur de Lis, 972 tons, well known in Lyttelton, has been sold to foreign buyers. This vessel (says the Press ), which was built in Glasgow forty-four years ago, and which was purchased some years ago by Captain G. Christian, brought a cargo of coal to Lyttelton from Newcastle last year. She afterwards took a load of produce to Auckland, and from that port a cargo of timber to Sydney. The Fleur de Lis arrived at Sydney on January 4 last, and has been lying in port there ever since. The vessel will be employed by her new owners as a store ship for one of the pearling fleets, and her headquarters will be Aru Island, in the Dutch East Indies. The vessel was docked last week for sighting by her purchasers. She is now loading stores and supplies, and is expected to sail this week for Aru Island. News has been received from London respecting the Italian shin to the effect that nermanenu rer>airs are estimated at £4,000. The Doride, while on a vovage from Philadelphia with oil for Wellington, was severely damaged, and put into Mauritius. Eighty feet of her bulwarks on the port side, together with stanchions, were damaged, and the pumps were broken. About 2,300 cases of oil were jettisoned. When the auxiliary schooner Fairburn, which arrived at. Auckland from Napier •last week, was on her way up the coast, Captain Fletcher stood close in to the Eea.st Cane in order to see if there was any sigh of the wreck of the .schooner Sir Henry. Nothing of the hull was seen, but the beach at East Island was covered with snn.rs. wreckage, and timber from the lost vessel, the latter consisting principally of flitches, which formed the deck cargo. Acting under instructions from Auckland, Mr D. G-onk, jun., who went down to the wrecked schooner Aotea, at Waipiro Bay, is to cut a hole in the hull of the vessel, which is bottom up on the beach, in order to save as much of the cargo as possible. The total tonnage of vessels which made Wellington their first port of call or port of departure from the colon- was considerably larger for the June quarter of this year than for the corresponding quarter of 1905. The tonnages were as follow (the figures for 1905 being given in parentheses) -.—Shinning inward', 81,500 tons J61,533); outwards, 100.253 tons (86,636). Auckland, on the. other hand, shows a considerable falling off in the amount of her shinning. The tonnage entered inwards decreased from 142.172 to 123,949, and the outward tonnage from 91,624 to 78,484. The Bluff is the port which comes next to Wellington and Auckland in the amount of oversea shipping entered and cleared. In order to provide for the growing importation of frozen sheep and lambs from New Zealand and Australia, the Manchester Ship Canal Company have decided to fit up a portion of one of the transit sheds at No. 1 dock. Salford, as a cold-air store. Space will, in the first instance, be provided for about 30.000 carcasses of mutton, and arrangements will be made for the extension of this space as required, and also for the fitting up of chill rooms for hanging imported dressed beef when such accommodation becomes necessary. The ' Manchester Guardian ' explains that the new cold store will be for transit ntrrnoses, and will therefore not compete with the municipal and private cold storage warehouses already established in Manchester. It is added that the transformation will trreatly facilitate the discharge of i/rishable colonial cargoes, particularly in wet weather, and will obviate any risk of deterioration to frozen merchandise on the quay. When the work, which is to be nut in hand at once, is completed, Manchester will be admirably equipped for this trade, and the fitting up of the chill rooms, which are also contemplated, should put the port in a position to handle efficientlv a share of the large imports of American, Argentine, and Australasian dressed beef which are now dealt with at Liverpool.
