SHIPPING SERVICE.
MELBOURNE TO THE BLUFF. [by telegraph.—PßESS association.] DUNE DIN. Monday. At a meeting of the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce this evening the question of a better shipping service between Melbourne and the 131 ufT was discussed. Xt was decided to send the following telegram to the Prime Ministers—- " The Dunedin Chamber of Commerce again brings to your notice the service between the South Island ports and Melbourne as it is new being carried on by the Union Steam Ship Company. The present service is so,irregular that the travelling public can at no time make out an itinerary, and now the Manuka is to be withdrawn for her periodical overhaul and no other passenger steamer is to replace her. The chamber emphatically protests against this treatment and looks to you to see that common justice is done to the people of the southern part of JSicw Zealand."
