Prom the report of the Marine Department presented in the House of Kepresentativea last week, we learn that the Government steamer Stella steamed, during the year ending March 31, 23,463 miles, was 2838 hours under steam, burnt 835 tons of coal, carried 340 passengers, and discharged 996 tons of cargo. During the last financial year, new depots, containing stores, clothing, &c., for castaways, were established by the New Zealand Government on Macaulay, Curtis and L’Esperance Islands of the Kermadeo group. The coat of the new depots was £B7 13s lid.

A misunderstanding seems to exist with regard) to an advertisement from Lloyd’s, London, which has recently appeared in the columns of this journal. The vacancy to be filled ia the position of Lloyd’s agent for Canterbury, which was held by Mr J. D. Maopherson for some considerable time, and who recently resigned, owing to leaving the Colony. The position held by Captain K. Ticohurst is that of Surveyor to Lloyd’s Register of British and Foreign Shipping, and although the two positions are connected with the same Society, yet they belong to totally distinct branchea. This short explanation will doubtless set at rest the numerous enquiries we have heard on the subject. The travelling public will just now be beginning to find qut the disadvantage they have sustained by the wreck of the Ellis liner Centennial. Our readers will hardly need reminding that during the stay of that unfortunate vessel in the Intercolonial trade, the Union Company’s steamer Ringarooma was put on to run in opposition to her, and to carry passengers and cargo at almost any price travellers and shippers liked to oiler. The consequence was that as many passengers as conveniently could used to wait for the "cheap boats,” as they were called, and they were on every trip to Australia crowded with passengers. On her way from Sydney to Wellington the Centennial, it will be remembered, was wrecked, and the Union Company’s "nurse” had to come across by herself. She arrived at Lyttelton in due course, but as there was no " opposition ” boat, she carried passengers to Dunedin at ordinary rates, and upon her arrival there, was at once laid up to store up her energies, like a victorious hero, and await the next opposition boat sent by Mr J. C. Ellis or any other owner. Not only have the travelling public lost the advantage of taking passage in the Ellis liner, but they have also lost the advantage of travelling in the Union Company’s boat which was put on to "nurse” her and carry passengers at reduced rates, an advantage which large numbers were not slow to appreciate. " ’Twas ever thus.”
