She will lie in port till the Elinor Vernon has completed loading. The work of loading and discharging the ship Oamaru has been progressing steadily during the last week, and yesterday a quantity of tallow was shipped, while the cargo of manganese brought in by the ketch Agnes Martin was also being transferred to the big vessel. The Oamaru will take in altogether about 400 tons of geneial cargo at this port, and is expected to be ready to clear for Wellington to complete her loading about Saturday next. The Union S.S. Co.'s s.s. Omapere, Captain R. E. Smith, arrived alongside the wharf at J. 30 a.m. to-day. She left Dunedin at 4 p.m. on the 21st, calling at Timaru on 22nd, Lyttelton on 23rd, Napier on 25th, and Gisborne on 26th, arriving at Tauranga at 11 a.m. on the 27th ; sailed again at 10 a.m. on the 28th, arriving as above. Experienced variable winds and moderate sea. At the Customs yesterday the barque Rose , M. was entered and cleared outwards for Sydney.

Ruapehu had arrived at Rio Janeiro on Friday last, with her cargo of frozen meat in excellent condition. # For Lyttelton the brigantine Annie Wilson Bailed from theKaipara on Saturday morning with timber. . On the 15th instant Captain Anthon, of the steamer Albany, who proceeded from Sydney to Melbourne with a Chinaman on board his vessel despite the orders of the Customs authorities at the former port, was fined ioO

for his disobedience. The Jubilee S.S. Co.'s Stormbird will leave this evening on her usual trip for Whangarei, but on Monday next she will extend her running.leaving Auckland for Whangarei.Waipu, etc., and then proceeding to Russell, Whangaroa, and Mangonui, at which ports she Will also call on her return trip. The s.s. Ohau is expected to leave Dunedin to-day for Auckland, calling at Oamaru and Timaru. She may consequently be expected to arrive here on the 6th June. From the remarks of a recent visitor to the stranded ship I'leione, we learn that the laying of the mushroom anchor is having very good effect. The vessel is slowly working out, and her head is now pointing right to seaward. At a meeting of the Timaru Steamship Co., last night, it was resolved to wind up, the company having sold their only steamer, the collier Timaru. The way that British ships are handicapped by Board of Trade regulations as against foreign bottoms has found expression lately through the English chamber of shipEing. The case. is put thus:— was felt y shipowners that, although the present load-line was, on the whole, fair and satisfactory, there were not infrequent instances in which there was a restriction under

the present load-line from carrying aamuch cargo as some vessels would be able to do m accordance with the experience obtainedl by their owners. Foreign vessels not being subject to any of these restrictions and regulations were placed at an advantage in comparison witti the British vessels Another subject to which attention was drawn was the fact that foreign vessels sailing from foreign ports can and do call at British ports, and ship passengers without being liable to the Board of Trade regulations. It appeared to shipowners that it was scarcely fair that foreign vessels which were not subject to Board of Trade regulations and restrictions should be permitted to call at our ports and take in passengers, and it seemed to them that when British subjects were allowed to ship in vessels which were not subject to those regulations, that a certain extra risk is incurred which ought not to bo incurred."
