They left ' again last evening, the former for Xauranga, , and the Wellington for Whangarei. The as. , Zona also left last evening for Mercury Bay, having arrived early yesterday morning from the Groafc Barrier. She brought from there the witnesses in the Caffrey-Penn murder case. The ship Piako broke bulk yesterday morning. Her uajgo is turning out in excellent order. Thr, ship Waitangi has been removed from the Qaeen-street Wharf to the Railway Wharf. The-re she is to remain until the Soukar is done : discharging, when the Waitangi is to be again bw.-thed at the Queen -street Wharf, The ketch Agnes Martin, from Russell, brings 9. cargo of 63 tons of coal. j t The steamship Tengariro, en route to this port from Dunedin, called at Wellington, there ] to obtain a required supply of coal. Yesterday morning early the s.i. Ohelmifora ' arrived in harbour from Opotiki with a cargo of < maize, etc., and several passengers. She is to return to the same port on Monday afternoon. THE PILOT SERVICE!. At last the pilot service appears to be settled and in the manner that we have from the first advocated. A meeting of the Works and Tariff Committee of the Harbour Board was held on Thursday afternoon last, at which Messrs. Sainry, Cooper, and Comptonwere present, and the matter was talked over, the result beine that Mr. Compton has finally withdrawn from the service, and Captain* Sainty and Cooper h * T^ tm i ierttt ]" m L to « oan 7 on a »ervice to the Satisfaction of the Board. To assist them in this work they have obtained the use of the pilot sohooner Vindex at a monthly rental «f ] £10. A. to the piloting L! and out oVKaU iteamers, which by the rules of the port arc Ten titled te free pilotage, the pilot, are, a. we "J ? xed v* uS ■ I" " mun «*««». which has i. £5 ] ? Xe ?v £? ■ ei^ h ve,iel eacl » »»y-that is £5 ] to the bringing in and taking out of each maU b °!i'-. We *i e Ple " ed t0 find th »* the harbour authorities have so.satisfactorily settled the question, and the decision arrived at by them M given above will, we are confident, give very general satisfaction, for two abler men thai Captains Sainty and Cooper have not yet been connected with the pilot service of this port. As to their present certificates, we' understand that In lieu of these the two pilotSSS are to receive certificates authorising them to act « pilots for the port of Auckland and its vicinity , So far so good, but whilst settling this cum ! tion of pilotage, we think the Harbour Board ma," go one more step onwards, and instead of keeping > to the present nonsensical mode of dealing with the berthing of vessels-the harbourmaster or deputy harbourmaster berthing them—let the ( pilot who brings In a vessel at once berth it, as i is done with the mail steamers. Take the Tongariro due to.morrow suppose she arrives . at midnight—the pilot bringing her in has to east anchor in the stream until such time as either of the officials named go on board when she ' has to up anohor again, and then U taken to her berth. Snob a mode of business is most annov log, and entails great loss of time, which miaht ear.lly be avoided by acting upon the suggestion Burned above. Of course we do not foreet • Vast the Board derives a benefit of one pennv ton for this rem oval, but if the pilots are considered capable of bringing the mail vessels alongside the wharf, surely they are equally capable of bringing the Tongariro or Tainui or any other vessel, to a safe berth at our wharves Captain McGillirray, It may be stated, has the < option of entering' into competition against Messrs. Sainty and Cooper if he so elects, but so ' far as the tug Awhlna , and that company are concerned, they, for the future, intend to keep to their original work of towing only, and in which work a more" suitable vessel than the steamer named could not be desired for the Krt. She has proved most useful since she has an maaiug, and it is only to bo regretted that \

the shipping business of the port hat not been nacre brisk, to enable the shareholders of the swaaier to m tome more tangible benefit for tow outlay. : : MANGONDL i Thesoow Norah reached Mangonul on Sunday "®*wng. She had rough weather up the ooaat. She left on Wednesday for the Auckland Timber ■Uo. a yards. The Wque John Knox it still alongside the old wharf, and as yet nothing hat been decided m to her future movements. The German brigantlne Franz it expeoted at ilSbwi another cargo of timber to NewScuth Waiet.
