Mr R. MoKendrick, late chief engineer of the Hawea, left for England by the Gothic on the 18th inst. Captain Tate has taken command of. the Taviuni. The urgent necessity for increased ■wharfage accorramodation at Onehunga was again exemplified on the 15 th inst. When the Takapuna arrived ■from New Plyrhouth there were seven vessels berthed, and she' had to "double bank" outside the Corinna. This' caused a lot of ; delay and inconvenience, because luggage and mails had to be taken out of the Takapuna by means of the Corinna's , derricks. Trade at Onehunga has grown to such extent that the facilities provided at the wharf for shipping are now inadequate.
