When -the s.s.

Mapourika is -to come to Lyttelton from Wellington on.-Sunday next in place .oi the Rotorua. , Yesterday the s.s. Zealandia arrived from Dunedin at 6.15 a.m., and the s.s. Waihora from Wellington and east coast ports at 8.30 a.m Tho Wellington ‘‘Post*' states- that the Westport Coal Company is putting 2009 tons of coal into the bunkers of the troopsnip Tagus ah Wellington. It is probable that the Tagus will go from Wellington to Cape Town, via Albany. The s.s. Fifeshiro is expected to -arrive at Lyttelton from London, via Australian ports, the Bluff and 'Port Chalmers, on July 27. She is to leave Wellington for London on August 5. , - The s.s. -Warrimoo is shortly to he laid up at Lyttelton for an overhaul. Another steamer loading oai's for. South Africa, on -account of Messrs G. G. .Stead and Co. and Messrs F-riedlander Bros., arrived from Timaru ye sterday morning. She is the steel screw, steamer Tugela, belonging to the Glasgow Navigation Company, and commanded Kby Captain A. Schlossmann. Her tonnage is ‘ 3308 gross and 2148 net, and -her dimensions are—Length 326.2 ft, beam 48.1 it, and depth of hold 23.7 ft. -She is fitted with the usual triple expansion engines of 281 horse-power nomina; The,Tugela- is a new vessel, having been -hu.lt last, year by Messrs A. Rodger and (Co., al Port Glasgow. Yesterday. the s.s. Janet xvicoll left for Wellington, Westport and Greymouth -at 1.26 ■p.m.'; the s.s. Pukaki for Dunedin at I.SS -p.m.; the s.s. "Waihora for southern ports and-'Melbourne -at . 2.45 p.m., and -the s.s. Zoalandia for -Sydney, via East -Coast ports, at 5.80 plm. - The. s.s. 'Cygnet. arrived from Akaroa, via the Bays, -at 3.20 p.m. yesterday. Three more steamers —tho Giadsby, K-assala ac-d O'ceana—are expected at Lyttelton shortly to load oats for South Africa.

From a list of sailing vessels on tho way to San Francis-so, which appears in tho San Francisco “„We&ly Commercial News" -of June 9,. it seems that ,out of six ships loading at Cardiff all were French, three of them being new, and out of eight loading at Swansea four were French, -ail of them new. The coal-carrying trade between Wales and San Francisco has apparently been captured by bounty-supported Frenchmen, into whose sailing bounties it is to be presumed the recently appointed select committee will institute an exhaustive inquiry, and possibly make some recommendations on the-subject of the unfair competition to which British owners -are subjected. Talking of “record" breakers, remarks an English paper, it is not without interest to note that, after -sixty years’ work, tho Cunard Company -is still to- 'the front with its mail steamers -as a whole. No line, British or foreign, has two steamers running of the speed of -the Campania and Lucania, and these two vessels, with the Umbria and her sister ship, the Etruria, constitute a passenger and mail service that, taken -ali- round, is still tho fastest in fine world.' No line, again, carries so much mail matter backwards and forwards between Europe and the United States ias the Cunard Company. The five days seven . hours -twenty-throe minutes of the Lucania, and five days nine hours six minutes of the Campania, have never yet been approached -by any other British-built ship.
