The Union Co.'s steamer Ringarooma left Melbourne at 4.20 p.m. on the 12th instant, and arrived at Ho* bart at 10.20 a.m, on the 14th; left again, at 7 p.m. on the same day, and arrived at the Bluff at 6 a.m. on the 18th, having experienced fine weather with light wind throughout.

She sails for Foxton’in the afternoon.

The Union Company's new steamer Omapere. whii h was expected-to arrive, from Timaru about 7 p.m. yesterday, had not put in an appearance up to a late 'hour lost night,, owing, no doubt, to strong head winds. She is advertised to leave for the East Coast and Auckland to-day. The China Steam Navigation Company has ten steamers trading on the Coast of China and on the rivers. Business appears to bo flourishing,- as the Company has four larve steamers building, principally intended for the Chinn-colonial trade, and two smaller thirteen-knot vessels for coasting. The Tamsui has just arrived at Melbourne with ’tea. Sheds a vessel of 919 tons register, and steams 13 knots on 15 tons of coal per day. Her saloon is a deckhouse, and the whole of the 'tween-decks is- fitted for steerage passengers. Immense side-ports' for the passage. 1 of cargo-in and out are provided,' so that 1600 tons of cargo has been passed out in the almost incredibly short space of 12 hours. As doubts existed with reference to the Identity of the mutilated figure-head picked up at the Bluff some weeks ago with that of the Mln-y-don, V-e (“Southland : Times") took the opportunity of Captain Culmer’s visit to Bluff Harbor;with his-vessel, the Edith Ma|y, to get him to examine the relic. This be did yesterday, and he is fully satisfied that these doubts are well founded, and that the head was. not a portion of the ill-fated *hip. Ciptaiu Culmer is-well able to speak positively on this matter, as his Vessel and the Mln-y-don loaded at Newcastle together, and moored there to the same buoy, so that he had opportunities of noticing the general appearance of the latter vessel. The head now at the office of this paper, he says, in much too small for so Urge a ship, and as the Min-y-don had no stern ornamentationi ’some other origin must be sought for this waif of the sea. Captain Calmer, in answer to expressed the opinion that the Mln-y-don struck on the Soares, probably on the same nignt' that he saw a vessel; he is certain was the same, in a heavy gale off the Solanders, and which was then heading to go south-about.
