general cargo! for the Homo market, aiw'ed from Capo Town, via Port Chalmers, at Q-30 a.m. to-day. She anchored in' the sbriWn, and- was brought to a berth at the Glads! Vm e Pier at noon. Captain Kelly is in comma, nd. The total cost of repairing the steamers Ormuz and Ismaila, lately in collision in Pert Phillip, says an exchango, runs into near.ry £7OOO. The fact that the Alfred graving doc.V was barely large enough to accommodate iht\ Ormuz raised the whole question of bringing ' the dry dock accommodation: up to date, and j led the Minister of Public Works to _ give instruction to prepare plans and an estimate of I cost for a dock of sufficient dimensions to accommodate the largest vessel afloat. The cost is roughly estimated at £250,000.. The dredge Manchester is to go info dock today. : The barque Akaroa, which arrived yesterday, is 'to be docked at 'Lyifctelton for an overhaul.
