Company steamer Waiotahi left for Tauranga and Opotiki last evening. tho Northern S.S. Company's Last night the Northern S.S. Company s steamers Wellington and Douglas both left for Whangarei. ' , . The schooner Welcome berthed at the Railway Wharf yesterday. She sails for the Kaipara to load timber for Sydney on Thurs-. Yesterday the American barquentine Abiel Abbot shipped a large number of bales of flax, which were brought up from Wellington by the Manapouri. The ship Westland is transhipping from one of the coasters a fine lot of kauri Hitches for London.

Yesterday the barquentine Coquette arrived at the Kaipara from VVanganvii, where she loads timber tor an Australian port. The Union S.S. Company's steamer Janet Nicoll left Westport tor this port yesterday, and is timed to arrive on Friday, leaving for Westport again at noon on Saturday. To-day the Union S.S. Company's steamer Rotokiuo arrives from the South, with a cargo of produce. The American barque Mary Hasbrouck commenced loading flax at Lyttelton yesterday for New York. She comes on to this port to complete her loading, following the barquentine Abiel Abbot, for Messrs. Arnold, Cheney, and Co.

The schooner Atalanta Bailed for Ngunguru yesterday, to load coal for this port. Last night the Northern S.S. Company's steamer Argyle arrived from Mercury Bay and Kuaotunu, with kauri cum and sundries. She left for the Great Barrier at midnight, and returns this evening. The steamer Coromandel is laid up for periodical overhaul and inspection.

Tauranga will go into Calliope Dock at seven o'clock this morning for a general overhaul. The warship will probably remain in port for six weeks, and will then proceed to the islands again. A curious fact has been brought out by the Chronicle—the extraordinary ill-luck which, ever since the accession of tlie House of Hanover, seems to have dogged vessels named after its members right down to the ill-faced Victoria. Here are some of the names thus associated with disaster :—Prince George, 17oS ; Royal George. 178— ; Royal Charlotte, 17ftS; Queen Charlotte, ISOO ; King George, 1S06; Prince of Wales, 1807 ; Queen Charlotte, 1818: Albert, troopship, 18-1:5; Royal Adelaide. 1852; Victoria, 18.)-: Queen ictoria, 1853 ; Princess Alice (on Thames), Victoria (Thames, Canada), 1881; and the Victoria, off Tripoli, 1893. , The largest dredger in the world —tne Brancker— has been launched to the order of the Mersey Harbour Board. She is specially built for freeing the channel of the Mersey, so that the largest. liners may leave the port at any stage of the tide. The dredger is of steel, 320 ft. long, and can raise from the bottom of the sea 1000 tons of sand per hour. The suction-pipe is 3ft. 9in. in diameter, and can raise bricks, pieces of coal, and other debris from the bottom of the sea, which is transfered to eight tanks lying at the side of the dredger, which, when it is filled, are carried to the' sea aud emptied into deep water. The processs of tilling, emptying, and returning to the dredging ground occupies about an hour and a-half. This leviathan dredger will, it is expected, raise 24,000 tons from tho bar of the Mersey per day, across which it is intended to work a deepwater channel 1000 ft. wide, which will he specially buoyed at a cost of £3000. Dredging operations were commenced with ordinary appliances two years ago. when at low water there was but lift, of water at the bar. It is now deepened from 17ft. to 18ft, at low water. In a Nineteenth Century article, the Hon. T. A. Brassey in urging upon the Government the pressing necessity of adding to the strength of the ' Navy, considers how the colonies and India would fare in the event of war with a European Power. Canada, Australia. South Africa, and our great Eastern dependency are by many thought liable to serious attack by hostile navies; but India and Canada alone are open to attack by land. The writer insists that our power of resisting the foe depends upon our command of the sea. While that was in doubt it would ba madness to attempt the transportation of great bodies of troops across the ocean, and the clear and logical way in which Mr. Brassey sets forth his plea for a substantial addition to our naval strength should certainly outweigh that desire for a showy Budget which often impels Governments to starve our tirst line of defence. A very heavy claim for damage to wheat through cetlarwoocl having been carried as part cargo, has (says Fairplay) been intimated to the owners of a Glasgow-owned ship which arrived lately from San Francisco, laden with general cargo._ The risk involved in fixing from the Pacific coast. with the " lawful merchandise" clause iu charter parties is very great, and owners ought to mind what they are about when fixing their vessels for such employment, otherwise they are certain to find themselves let in sooner or later for heavy claims for damage to cargo, besides running the risk of being tendered a full cargo of barley, which few of the modern type of large dead-weight carriers are capable | of carrying without incurring the serious ; risk of making the passage home on their I broadsides.

THE HAWKE'S BAY. Up to an early hour this morning theie was no sign ot the Tyser Company's steamer Bawke's Hay, which left Sydney for this port on Thursday last. Our correspondents along the coast report that a strong southeast sale is prevailing, and no doubt the steamer has experienced its full force, thus delaying her arrival. However, she should put in an appearance during this morning. THE TAINUI. Yesterday morning the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company's steamer Tiinui, arrived at Port Chalmers from London, Capetown, and Hobart. She has 9.'i passengers for all ports, and 3000 tons of general cargo, .which is divided as follows : —[lso for Duneclin, SoO for Lyttelton. 800 for Wellington, and -WO for transhipment.
