In port noon to-day :—At Dnnedin: Talnne, Koonya, Nora Niven, Rimu, Rakiura (steam). At Port Chalmers: Matatoa, Moura, To Anau (steam), Glenlai, Jessie Niccol (sail). Mr H. M'D. Young, lato chief officer ef the Haupiri, has been retired from &e Union Company's service. The Shaw-Savill steamer Aotea has been chartered to take a load of coal from Newcastle to Valparaiso. The local jarrah trade has been interfered with to some extent bv the strikes in West Australia, but it is likely to go on more regularly now. Advice waß received by the local manager of Millar's Jarrah Company indicating that the steamer Ennerdale was loading at Flinders Bay for New Zealand ports. Intelligence received to-day states that she has sailed. The heavy rain, driven along by a very eold south-west wind, retarded all outside work this morning at Port Chalmers, and prevented work being resumed at the new dock at the usual time, and also interfered with the loading of the steamer Mjitatua RaJriura, s-s., arrived with timber from Waikawa at 3.45 a.m. to-day. She sails far the South to-morrow. Talnne, s.s., was delayed by heavy bead tees between Lyttelton and this port, and did not reach the cross wharf till noon, the sails for Auckland and intermediate ports at 3 p.m. to-morrow. Norah Niven, steam trawler, did not pot to sea to-day as intended, the weather outside the Heads being too boisterous for trawling operations. It is curious to note how unlucky the King Edward class of battleship has been. The crippled Dornipion is one of them, and she ran ashore in the St. Lawrence .River. The Africa tried to smash the *" RJVI.S. Ormnz in the Channel, the Hifcemia lost sight of a boatload of her men at Spithead. and the Commonwealth was damaged by tho Albemarle. This is a remarkable "series for one group of ships. Beferring to the launch of the 6.5. Maori last month, the Dumbarton '-Herald' says:—"Of this great steamship company Dumbarton, as well as New Zealand, has great reason to be proud. On our part, it has ssked from us a type «f ship always the best of its time, whilst in New Zealand and Australian waters ' and in the Pacific Ocean these steamers h_ve maintained services which have been of incalculable colonial advantage. . . . The speeches at the luncheon were appreciative of the groat work Mr James Mills has done, and is doing, in his capacity as managing director of the Union Company. In this connection, we do not exaggerate J when we say that Mr Mills has been one of the men who has made New Zealand, .cad that the Empire-building to his credit, really Imperialism of the best typo, might long ere +J»i* have worthily been brought to the notice of Hk Majesty the King.'' The brig Edward, which arrived at Sydney on June 16 from NapieTj had an unusual experience when nearrng tho Heads. The vessel was travelling before a south-westerly gale, and rain was falling in torrents, making it impossible to see any distance ahead. Captain Feast was en the look-cut, and during a momentary break was startled by a huge waterspout,

which was dangerously near the vessel. There was considerable e statement on 'board, but the course was quickly altered, and in a few minutes the vessel sailed to » safe distance. FiveobooJete gunboats and a steam barge ■were, ai Sheemes3 on May 15, sold out of the Royal Navy by auction. The Goldfinch fetched £4.450, Mistletoe £,375, Watchful £2,925, Banterer £2,425, Gxappler £2,250, Firm £1,825, steam barge Pert £1,675. They were sold without restriction as to takkw abroad or breaking up by Messrs Fuller, Horsey, Sots, and Caeaell, 11 Bflliter square, E.C. On May 11 a wedding ceremony was performed on board a tugboat in the Firth of Forth, not fax from Leith. The contracting parties were Norwegians, _ the bridegroom (Captain Olsen) being skipper -of the steamer TJnimak, while the bride •was a lady named Miss Hansen. The TJnimak arrived at Leith on the previous Tuesday, and it had been arranged thstt tho marriage ceremony should take place ct the port on the ship's arrival, but at the last moment it was discovered that the Scottish law forbade a marriage in Scotland unless the contracting persons had resided twenty-one days in the country. To overcome the difficulty, they hired a local tug. and, along with some friends and a Norwegian minister, they steamed cut to the Firth of Forth, where the knot was duly tied. It is significant of the prosperous state of the trade between New York and Australia that during the past ten days four large cargo-carrying steamers, each heavily laden with general merchandise from the ; American port, have arrived in Mel- > booine.
