Manuka, s.s., arrived at Port Chalmers this morning from Sydney via Cook Strait, after an absence of six months in the Vancouver service. While waiting the tide at Port Chalmers the transference of cargo to the Warrimoo, which vas berthed at the opposite side of the vharf, was prevented by the heavy rain, loth steamers came up to. town to-day. Pho Manuka lays up until resuming the return running to Sydney on Tuesday week, and the Warrimoo leaves to-morrow tor Melbourne. Daldorch, s.s., lI.S. and A. liner, left New A ork on October 15 for Australian and New Zealand ports. She is due here about the first week in January. Westralia, s.s., from Sydney via Auckland, sails from Lvttelton to-night at 7.30. It wil probably be to-morrow afternoon before she comes up to the Victoria wharf. The Manapouri and Navua, at Auckland, exchange routes this trip. The Manapouri goes to the Eastern Pacific and the Navua to Fiji. The Navua is likely to remain in the New Zealand-Fiji service for some time. Karamea, s.s., is expected to be here about a week. She will then go on to ■ triton, her port of discharge, but it n ; • some time before she commences :o d for the Homeward voyage. Invercargill, s.s., which arrived this morning with timber front Stewart Island, reported a very heavv sea outside. The Ulimaroa had the distinction of being the last vessel to leave New Zealand able to land produce in Australia before the protective tariff, removed on account of the drought, is resumed. Her space was very easily filled. Captain Young, formerly master of the j.s. Essex, is now in command of the Surrey. Misfortune of late has been the lot of -he Patea Shipping Company (says the ‘Post’). The latest accident to one of their fleet has occurred to the Kapiti. This steamer while on her way from Wellington to Patea on Monday night struck a submerged object. It has now been found that the vessel has sprung a leak. She will return to Wellington for an elimination of her hull. Rakinra, s.s., was at Gatlins to-day oading timber for Dunedin, and was to jail to-day if the weather moderated. ?he sails on Monday for Invercargill and Riverton. Several smart passages have been acromplished by the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company’s liner Mamari. The latest one is between Wellington and London. She left Wellington on September 10, and arrived in London on Tuesday morning occupying forty days on the run Home. Rosamond, s.s., has been fixed to load coal at Westport next week for H.M.S. Pioneer at Lyttelton. Kotare, s.s., which sailed yesterday for Timaru and Lyttelton and Dunedin, will lead general cargo at the latter port for Dunedin. The statement of accounts of the Adelaide Steamship Company, Ltd., for the year ended the 30th June last discloses a net profit of £51,850, as against £49,890 for the previous twelve months. An interim dividend of 5s per share, which was distributed in March last, absorbed £25,359, and the balance to credit of profit and loss account after providing for depreciation, etc., is £29,472.
