Jessie Niccol ■ si.il/. War.- ■mice, s—s.. will not roach here ■ Sydney till Sunday. She did not arrive at Wellington till to day. and she lias a large cargo to handle at that port. Magic, scow, was ready to leave fur Tautuku yesterday afiomoon. and her officers had announced to the Press their intention of miHng when the Government inspector of machinery detained her for a final inspection. She got away today. Tainne, s-s., arrived from Auckland about I_3o p m She sails <;n t he return trip at 3 pjn. to-morrow. Kooirya, aa, arrived from the West Coast via the Bluff about 9.45 ajn. today. She loaves for the West Coast via Oamaam and Northern intermediate ports early to-morrow. The steamer Strathford, which put into Wellington last Saturday to replenish her hunkers, is cn route from Nehone (New Caledonia) to Hampton Bonds, Va., for which port she has 6.280 tons of chrome ore. She is on her maiden voyage, having proceeded from Home to Japan, thence to Shanghai and New Caledonia. Dredging experiments have shown that it is possible, by cutting away a small portion of the Sheemeas bar. to secure a channel from the None to Sheoroess Harbor with 25ft of water at low water of spang tides, instead of I9ft as at present. Such a channel would enable the Medway to be entered or left by heavy warships at any time on certain tides, and would oonsderablv reduce the number of hours durmg which the harbor is at present inaccessible to battleships and. cruisers of heavy draught at the low water of spring tides. The White Star liner Adriatic, Lho heaviest vessel in the world, which was under construction at Messrs Harland and Wolffs shipbuilding yard at Belfast for over a year, and which was launched on September 20 last, left the Mersey on her maiden voyage to New Y'ork on May 8. She will inaugurate the new service from Southampton. The Adriatic carries a crow of 050 officers and men. The White Star Line have recently insHtuted a system of issuing their own money orders or notes for tho convenience of their passengers. It will obviate tho necessity of carrying cn the person sums of money, large or small, and the notes, bearing as they will the obligation of tho company, will be as good as money. The French liner Savoie, from Havre, and the Canard R.M.S. Campania, from Liverpool, which arrived at New York on April 13, had an exciting finish to their respective voyages. The Campania left Queenstown after embarking her mails, when tho French vessel, which had left Havre the day before, was 100 miles astern of the Ctroarder. Challenges were sent from the French vessel by wireless telegraphy to tho Campania, 'and hundreds of pounds were hot by the passengers that the Savoie would beat, its rival into New Y'ork. Although tho French.

boat crept up on its rival, the Campania vaon by twenty-seven minutes, and there was an animated scene on the decks when tb© passengers paid their bets to each other. The two ships conversed by moans of wireless telegraphy throughout tho voyage. According to returns compiled by the Liverpool Underwriters’ Association, the casualties to vessels of 500 tons gross and upwards during March were: —From weather damage. 85: foondorings and abandonments. 2; stranding. 152; colliekms. 212; fires and explosions, 19; missing, 6; machinery-, shafts, and propellers, 49 ; other casualties, 10—or a total of 535 casualties, of which 25 were total i kesos. Concerning the barque Westland, the solo of which was announced in tlie * Star ’ some time ago, the ‘ Lyttelton Times ’ has the following Like most other shipping firms, tho Shaw, Savill aud Albion Company have gradually been getting rid of their wind-jammers and increasing their fleet of steamers. Time was when they, like tho New Zealand Shipping Company, owned a number of very smart ships and barqucß, in addition to their cargo and passenger steamers. For some time past, however, the Now Zealand Company have only owned steamers, and the recent announcement that the Westland had been sold to foreigners means that tho Shaw, Savill :wk! Albion Company have likewise now re-osed to bo a sailing-ship owning firm. The Westland was commanded by Captain Charles James, well known as a “ passage-maker.” For thirtyone years bo was with the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company, aud during that time had command of various sailing sliifie of tho line*. Ho was in command of the Auckland for twenty years, <* the Helen Denny for five yearn, of the Chudierc for one year, and of the Westland during the last two voyages. On her passage Home on this occasion from New Zealand the Westland made excellent time. Wellington waa left on January 21, and on February 12 Staten Island bore N'.. fifteen miles distant. The vessel was off the Plate on February- 24, where for nearly a week very- light winds were experienced. On March 7 the Westiaml passed Trinidad and Martha Vay, rocks, the Equator being crossed a week later. The barque was off the Lizard on April 17, just eighty-foor days from tho time &ho sailed from Wellington. Dtmgeness was abeam at 9 p.m. on April 20. and the barque lowed up to Gravesend. In live afternoon she proceeded to the Ixnulon Dock. Captain James reported fine weather throughout the passage. Only- on two occasions, when in tho South Pacific, was it necessary to take in t Ivo topgallant sails, whilst tho topsails were only furled once. and that was off the Horn. On the previous Homeward voyage Captain James sailed the ship from Wellington to tho Line in forty-eight days. THE DIRECT STEAMER?. The Maori, which left the Rluff on X 1 ay 14. sailed from Monte Video on Sunday morning. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS. AUCKLAND- June 12.—Manapouri, for Fiji.
