For Whangarei: 2000 sacks flour, 100 sucks bran, 200 sacks sharps. 200 sacks wheat, 356 sacks oats, 348 sacks chaff. -ihe Union Company's steamer Squall left for Tolafio Hay and GUborne yesterday with a general cargo. The mission steamer Southern Cros3 and the tug Pelican were docked yesterday. The barque Jeßßie Craig arrived from Lyttelton yesterday forenoon with a cargo of produce for this port. She left Lyttelton on Friday week and passed the East Cape on Monday. Good . 'weather was experienced all the way. The Union Company's steamer Haupiri, which arrived at Gisborne from Auckland on Tuesday afternoon, was a week on the coast. Even then she could not work all the ports, being; hampered by heavy weather. Only half her cargo was landed, ami instead of taking 600 bales of wool for transhipment into the Mareic at Napier only 60 could be placed on board. The auxiliary schooner Kercru has been over a fortnight working her way down the coast to Gisborne. Submarine bell signal apparatus has no* been installed on board 210 steamers and 56 lightships. A large number of these lightships are stationed of the entrances to harbours on the' American roasts, and 17 arc stationed off the north-west co- sta of Europe. What is claimed to be. the largest, floating dock in the world is to be constructed for the Pittsburg ("sal Company. The -dock will be placed next the dock of the United States Steel Corporatior, at Dululh, Minnesota. The increased demand for coal in the north-west has necessitated the construction of a storage depot, in which coal can be kept in large quantities all the yes;- round. The cost of the new floating dock will be about £200,000. Many a well-found sailing ship has come, to gnel ip endeavouring to round Cape HSrn. Steamers, 011 the other hand, have the option of navigating through the Straits of Magellan find hereby ensuring a shorter route, and, as a rule, better weather. A Norwegian has now come forward with a proposal— by any meanß novel •-.or establishing a service of tugboats at Puuta. Arenas and taking sailing ships >n tow through the straits. It is claimed that in this way it would bo possible in certain instances to reduce the voyages of failing ships by several weks. The worst \' 1 it " that this rcviv *chemo comes very late in the day. for steam now invades the. long-voyaee trades Beside^. la toE, <WBculUc« ia taking tailing tUpi

j THE TALUNE. j The Union Company's steamer Talune, which left Auckland yesterday, will connect at Suva with the R.M.S. Marama, which is due to sail from Suva for Vancouver. next Tuesday. The Talune had on board a large number of passengers, most of them going to Vancouver. She also had on board a quantity of timber for Suva, transhipments of general cargo from the Mokoia. Manuka, Monowai, and Takapuna for Suva, 32 sheep for Levuka, and 120 sheep, lb lambs, ' and 11 pigs for Suva, besides a quantity of ; general cargo. THE STAR. OF ENGLAND. ' The Tvser liner Star of England, en route from '. New York, left Sydney on Tuesday for Auckland and 6hould make port on Sunday. THE FORERIC. The steamer Foreric, of the San Francisco line, having been detained at Sydney, will not leave that port for Auckland until about tomorrow. She should arrive here on the following 'Wednesday, and after taking in general cargo the steamer sails for Apia and San Francisco, 1 THE ORANGE BRANCH. The turret-deck steamer Orange Branch, 3436 tons, left Sydney last Thursday with a full cargo of hardwood, piles, girders, and sleepers for New Zealand ports. The vessel is now about due at Auckland, and after discharge she proceeds South. ' THE SURREY. Messrs. A. 11. Nathan and Co., Limited, the local agents, were yesterday advised that the steamer Surrey, from west coast of England ports, left Hobart last. Saturday and is due to arrive in Auckland to-morrow. THE KOROMIKO. The Union Company's new turret steamer Koromiko, from Buubury and Hobnrt, arrived in Wellington on Sunday. The vessel ib on her maiden visit to the Dominion, and is the first steamer of this class, under the auspices of the Union Company, to enter Wellington Harbour. She is built of steel, and is of the usual turretdeck type. At her trial runs the Koromiko, deeply loaded, registered 11$ knots an hour, but the vessel did not maintain this average on the run from West Australia. The new steamer has a double cellular bottom and peculiar house-like sides, which add to the cargo-carrying capacities, but do not improve her appearance. Two masts are carried, fitted with eight derricks each, which aid the expeditious handling of cargo. Four of the eight derricks are fitted up tor handling coal, and the remainder are for use on general cargo. Captain CUE, formerly of the Mapourika, is in command, mid has associated with him the following officers:—Chief, Mr. F. R. Gamble (late of the Essex); second, Mr. E. N. Hall (late of the Drayton Grange); third, Mr. J. C. Burnett. Chief engineer, Mr. J. Ogilvie; second, Mr. E. A, Guthrie; third, Mr. F. J. Fuller; fourth, Mr. J. Gilmour. SCHOONER HUIA IN A BLOW. An exciting experience befell the auxiliary schooner Huia, from Kaipara. on Wednesday week (says the Christchurch Press), when the vessel was about eight miles off the heads. A sudden change in the wind from north-west to south-west took place, and in a few minutes the sea was " feather white" with foam and spray, which swept in thick sheets over the vessel's decks. Fierce squalls struck the vessel, but sail was quickly shortened before any damage was done. The vessel entered the heads about two o'clock and made good time up the harbour. So fierce were the squalls, however, that Captain McKenzie signalled for the tug Canterbury to bring the Huia into a berth. The tug went out and the vessel was berthed shortly afterwards. STEAMING RECORDS. The order in which the record 24 hours' run across the Atlantic has moved progressively upwards is as Deutschiand (German), 601 knots; Lusitar.ia (in October), 617 knots; Mauritania (in November), 624 knots; Lusitania (in March), 627 knots. THE MAMARI.Messrs. L. D. Nathan and Co., Limited, are in receipt of cable advice that the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company's steamer Mamari arrived atHobart from London at 9 a.m. yesterday, en route for Wellington. She is due at the latter port on the 24th Inst. The steamer has 150 passengers for New Zealand. PORT OF ONEHUNGA. ARRIVALS. TAKAPUNA. s.s., 1036, W. Hutchings, from Wellington and New Plymouth.
