The brigantine Gleaner has arrived at Sydney from the Manukau with a cargo of timber. Yesterday the brigantine Eliza Firth sailed from Newcastle for the Thames with a cargo of coal. Yesterday afternoon the Kauri Timber Company's brig Visiou, Captain F. Nilsson, arrived from Newcastle after a passage of 15 days. The vessel sailed on October 16, and had moderate to strong north-east and easterly winds to the North Cape, which was passed on the 30th ; thence moderate northerly wind to arrival. The brig brings a cargo ofcoal for Mr. J. J. Chug, and will berth at the Railway Wharf to-day to discharge. The dredge John Nimmo, having completed dredging the berths at the Geejong (Victoria) railway pier to a depth of 23 feet, so that vessels can complete their loading alongside during the coming wool and grain season, has been now sent bv the Public Works Department to deepen the Hopetoun Channel at the entrance to the Geelongharbour to 22.J feet at the lowest of low tides, or 23J feet at ordinary low water.

In the matter of the wreck of the steamer Trident, the Sydney Marine Board has delivered its finding to the effect that the vreck of the steamer was caused, by the vessel broaching-to agaidst her helm when crossing the Moruya bar on the 6th September, but that no evidence had been adduced on which to found a charge of default against Stephen Canty, the master. In view of possible contingencies, says a Paris telegram, the Government is taking measures to ensure the rapid armament of the large steamships trading with the East which have been built to act as armed cruisers in time of war. The Polynesien, which leaves for Australia, will carry all her guns and stores ready for use. She has four heavy guns and ten Hotchkiss quick-firing guns,, and takes 56 tons of all kinds of war material, including 300 shells. On arriving at Noumea, in New Caledonia*her runs aud stores will be disembarked and stored in a Government depot; for use as required. Similar precautionary measures will be taken with the boats trading to China and Madagascar.

THE TASMANIA. Early this morning Messrs. Huddart, Parker, and Co.'s steamer Tasmania, Capt. Thomas McGee, arrived from Sydney, with a large number of passengers and a quantity of general cargo for all ports. The purser, Mr. T. Carless, to whom we are indebted for our files, reports that the steamer left Sydney at 5.20 p.m. on the 27th ultimo, and had the Three Kings abeam at 5.40 a.m. on the 31st, and the North Cape rounded at 9.40 a.m. the same date, the steamer berthing at the Queenstreet wharf at 12.30 o'clock thiis morning. Experienced fresh north-west and westerly winds and moderate weather until rounding the North Cape; thence vari&ble winds and fine weather to arrival. She spoke the Waib.ora off Cape Rodney at 9 p.m. on the 31st, inquiring if anything had been seen of the Wairarapa, and after replying in the negative, continued on the passage to Auckland. During the time the Tasmania was laid up in Sydney, she has been thoroughly overhauled in all deportments. New furnaces have been put in, and a new manganese bronze propeller fitted, and the engines overhauled. The passenger accommodation has been renovated, improved, and enlarged, there being accommodation provided in the steerage for 60 more passengers, whilst new appointments have also been erected for their comfort. A number of improvements have been made on deck, a new awning deck of about 150 feet in length being built, which lias greatly improved the appearance of the steamer. The houses and fittings on deck are now painted white, and give everything there a pleasing and light iook. On the passage across the new propeller made a very appreciable difference in the speed of the steamer, she- coming along at a speed of a little under 12J knots per hour, without being pressed. The various alterations and improvements were carried out under the supervision of Mr. Cummings, the superintending engineer, and Mr. Burgess, the superintending carpenter, of the company, and the work has been carried out in a very satisfactory manner. The Tasmania leaves for Napier, Wellington, Lyttelton, and Dunedin, at four o'clock this afternoon.
