She left again yesterday evening for the same port. ,The Colleen Bawn, from Pelorus Sound, arrived yesterday, with timber for Mr. Compton. The Manawatu may be expected to. arrive from Wanganui to-day. It is expected that the Eangatira will come off the Patent Slip this afternoon. She will sail for Napier on Monday. The Whaling Barque CiiANCE.--Captain Thomson, Government Marine Surveyor, examined the barque Chance on Thursday afternoon, and has reported concerning her to the Collector of Customs that the whole of the repairs ordered by the surveyors have been faithfully performed, and the barque supplied with, two new full-length chain cables and anchors A certificate of seaworthiness for whaling purposes has - been granted to her, but the certificate only alludes to herself and not to the number of hands she has on board, whether fully manned or otherwise.— Otago Daily Times, Nov. 7. The Accident to the Steamer Easby.—The steamer Easby was docked yesterday, but owing to the difficulty experienced in steadying her on the blocks, it was Lite last evening before the water was all pumped out of the dock. The damage she has sustained was more serious than'first anticipated. She evidently took the ground fore-and-aft on Waipipapa Point. Close to her fore-foot the plates are slightly started from the keel, and just forwards of her midship section the keel vfor about six feet along is forced npward9 out of the right line by some six inches. A butt there is slightly started. Her bottom plates are dented in many places, but not so as to affect her stability in the slightest degree. Her worst damage is aft, between. the stern-post and rudderpost, and there the keel- a massive piece of iron nine inches iby seven inches—is broken right through at abont ' the centre of the screw aperture, and again close to the stern-post it is broken nearly through. This breakage can, however, be made sound enough .for all practical purposes by the application of a substantial shoe. The other damaged plates can be very easily. repaired. - Whilst the Easby is in dock this time her rudder is to be unshipped for the purpose of being made larger—a very necessary alteration indeed, as it is much too small to, as is needful, readily affect the movements of the Easby's huge hull. It is somewhat surprising that the break in the Easby's keel aft should have escaped the notice of the diver when her bottom was examined last trip. Another Steamer for the South.—We are glad to hear that another handy steamer is about to be placed in the Southern trade by the enterprising firm of Messrs. Houghton and Co. * Mr. E. Houghton is at present absent in Alctoria negotiating for the purchase of a suitable vessel, and we have heard that it is not improbable that the well-known Express, a smart boat running between Melbourne and Geelong, will be the one selected. She was to have been docked for inspection on the Ist.of the month.— Otago Daily Times, Nov. 6. Launch at Tolooa Bay.—lt gives us unfeigned pleasure to record a most successful launch of Captain Trimmer's schooner Advance, at Tologa Bay, pn Thursday last. She now rides at anchor in the river, and will be ready for sea in about a fortnight. No damage was done to her through the recent accident, which was caused from no fault whatever of the builder, Mr. Thompson, whose unwearied efforts have, been a theme of general comment; and we congratulate both him and the spirited owner on the success which has so far attended their efforts. The Advance is 00 tons measurement, with an overall length of 72ft. ; keel, 05ft. : beam, 20ft. ; depth of hold, Oft. Oin.; with a carrying capacity of 110 tons, drawing only Oft. Oin. as. a full ship. She has a flushed, roomy deck, with a neat; comfortable cabin, although not intended to carry passengers ; is copperfastened . throughout, and most faithfully built with heart of kauri, rimu, and kowhai. The Advance is built on the V centreboard" principle, and will be rigged ai a topsail schooner. She is a fine handylooking craft, with good "lines," according to the opinions of those who have seen her in the water, and, altogether, a great, credit to all concerned in her building and fitting. We wish her success in the trade in which she will shortly be engaged.— Poverty Bay Standard, Nov. 7. ' .
