The Northern S.S. Company's steamer Wellington arrived from Whungarei last night, with passengers and general cargo. The trip up was a rough one, there being a very heavy sea running along the coast, and the wind blowing a strong gala from the north-east. The Wellington leaves for Whangarei again to-night. Owing to the strong north-east gale blowing yesterday, the departure of the steamers Coriunafor Westport and Janet Nicoll for Greymouth has been postponed until to-day. The departure of the [Northern S.S. Company's steamer Argyle, for Kuaotunu, Mercury Bay, and Tairua, and the Douglas for Whangarei, have been postponed until today, owing to heavy weather on the coast. The Douglas leaves at 5 p.m.,and the Argyle at 7 p.m. Yesterday morning the Union Company's steamer Taviani went up to Chelsea to discharge her cargo of sugar from Fiji. She will come down to the wharf to-day. Her departure for Tonga, Samoa, and Fiji has been postponed until Monday next. The Northern S.S.

The Union Company's steamer Poherua loads at Timaru to-morrow, the Bluff on Monday, and Oamaru on Tuesday for this port. .. The cargo steamer Perthshire is due at this port on Tuesday next from Sydney, to load timber and general cargo for London, under the auspices of the !New Zealand Shipping Company, proceeding South to complete her loading. Yesterday morning the Union S.S. Company's steamer Ovalau, from this port, arrived at Wellington. She proceeds on to Westport to load coal, and is to leave this port for Fiji on Thursday evening next. The Union Company's steamer Wakatipu left Melbourne yesterday for Hobart and the Bluff.

The next direct steamer leaving the colony for London is the New Zealand Shipping Company's steamer Aorangi, which is appointed to leave Wellington ou October 4. This is in consequence of the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company's steamer Arawa being continued in the Vancouver service, owing to the accident to the Miowera. The brigantine Meg Merrilies arrived at ToDga from Sydney on August 19, and on discharge left for Keppel Island to load copra for Tonga, On August 23 the barquentine Ysabel arrived at Tonga from this port after a quick run of nine days. The Union S.S. Company's steamer Manapouri left Wellington for Sydney yesterday. The report of the Russell signal station for the quarter ending August, shows that the total number of vessels signalled is 75, 43 being steamers. Two new Russian harbours are to be constructed. One is at Batoum, and is to be built specially for the Black Sea coasting trade, the Council of the Empire having sanctioned a credit of 750,000 roubles for the purpose. The works will take two years. The other harbour is to be at Rostoff, at the mouth of the Don, the cost being estimated at_ 1,900,000 roubles. The money will be raised by an issue of mortgage bonds. The Cardiff Shipowners' Association will join with the Sunderland shipowners in urging upon Lloyd's committee the desirability of the reduction of their charges. The suggestion came f rom Sunderland, the letter inviting the co-operation of the Cardiff owners pointing out that it was very desirable that classification and other fees charged by Lloyd's register should be reduced, as at the present time there was standing to the , sredit of the register a sum of £450,000. The accounts for the year 1889 to 189*2 showed a credit balance of £153,275, which gave an average of £38,318 per annum surplus of income over expenditure.!

Shis leaves for Apia, Honolulu, and San Francisco, at 2 p.m. to-toorrow. THE WRECK OB 1 THE WEAR.

THE WRECK OF THE CHRISTINE. ■ Nothiug further has been heard regarding the missing crew of the schooner Christine, Which was found stranded on the beach near Taranaki on Monday last, and there appears but little hope of their, having escaped a Watery grave in the disaster which overtook the vessel. Itistheideaof Some people it. shipping circles that the crew took to the boats; and made an attempt to reach the shore, but that the boats were swamped in the heavy Bea that must have been running at the time. Regarding the statement that " the schooner had been leaking, and the holes plugged with blankets," Mr. George Nlccol, of the North Shore, who overhauled and repaired the Vessel just previous to her sailing on her last voyage, states that she was sheathed with totara, unci as is usually the case when work of that description is done black or brown felt wis used oVer the paste which is put on the hull before the sheathing is put on. His idea, therefore, is that the felt has protruded through tho shuathing, and has been mistaken by those who discovered the Wreck for blanketing. PORT OF ONEHUN'GA. ARRIVALS. Gairloch, s.s., W. F.
