\At Dunedin the locally-owned schooner Agnes Donald is filling up with produce for this port under charter to Mr. J. T. Hendry. The splendid iron barque Scottish Admiral is rapidly filling up for London with general cargo. Her trip home affords a splendid opportunity for invalids and others wishing for a sea voyage, as _ the vessel possesses splendid accommodation for a number of passengers. The barque Bells was entered out for Howland Island at the Customs on Saturday. She loads guano there back to a New Zealand

port. We learn from Mr. J. T. Hendry that the Bchooner Eliza Firth is now loading potatoes at Napier for here, and that the schooner Saucy Kate, now discharging at Gisborne, will go to Napier for a similar freight, while it is very likely that the Edith May, now due at Hawke's Bay, will follow this example, all the cargoes being consigned to Mr. Henchough it is only a week or two since the splendid new steamer Mamari, of the ShawSavill and Albion line of cargo steamers, finished her loading at this port, this enterprising company has another vessel almost due here, for our cables announce the departure of the new vessel Maori from Melbourne for this port. The Maori, however, unlike the Mamari, will make this place her initial port of call, and after taking in a cargo of frozen mutton, etc., will go on to the South to complete.On Saturday the barque Alcestis went into the graving dock for an overhaul and cleaning. . Yesterday afternoon .Messrs. Donald and Edenborough's island packet Richmond, with a large cargo of provisions, timber, soft goods, ana live stock, took her departure for her numerous ports of call in the South Seas. She had on board about a dozen passengers. ' The well-known brigantiue Linda Weber, bo long ' engaged in the inter-colonial and South Island trade, made a start yesterday on a new commission in starting on a trip to the Hervey Group for her new owners, Messrs. Goodwin and LeLisle, of Wellington, who purpose using her for the fruit and copra trade between Rarotonga and this port. A very popular Island shipper, Captain J. B. Dickson, is in charge, and Mr. DeLisle went down by the vessel as a passenger. Yesterday mornins: early the s.s. Clansman arrived from her weekly trip to Tauranga, bringing a quantity of cargo and a good number of passengers.

THE S.S. TAM O'SHANTER AFIRE. At Onehunga on Saturday night the s.s. Tamo' Shan ter, which formerly used to ply in this harbour, narrowly escaped destruction by fire. About 10 p.m. Mr. J. P. Burnett, shipping agent of Onehunga, with a friend, Mr. oote, were walking up and down the quay awaiting the arrival of the s.s. Manakau, when they noticed an unusual light proceeding from the cabin of the Tamo' Shanter. They proceeded to the spot and found that the partition between the engine-room and the cabin had caught fire and was burning strongly. The two gentlemen at once gave the alarm, and help being speedily furnished by several of the crew of the s.s. Gairloch, which was lying near, a bucket brigade was organised and the fire quickly extinguished. There was no person on board the little steamer at the time of the outbreak, and in the darkness it was difficult to say how the fire had originated. The prompt measures taken by Messrs. Burnett and Foote, however, prevented any very serious damage being done to the vessel.
