Tho Mararoa, which loft Lyttelton at 10 last ■ night, brings SOO tons of cargo to this port from Melbourne. As tho Corinna Is to go into dock for an overhaul on arrival at Port Chalmers, she will leave hero on Wednesday, Instead of Thursday, her usual time. Tho barque Alcestls, which was detained here in order that her compasses might be adjusted, managed to get away yesterday for Fremantle, The Katoomba arrived hero yesterday morning from Lyttelton In order to tow down the Rapid to that port. The Katoomba was flouted out of dock on June 9th after a thorough overhaul, and she looks all tho bettor lor tho cleaning and painting which sho received. When it is remembered that no charge save tho actual cost of docking is made by tho Lyttelton authorities, it Is to bo wondered at that greater advantage la not taken of tho Board’s liberality. Tho two vessels sailed at noon for Lyttelton. Tho P. and O. Company recently entered into contracts for four mall steamers of the highest class similar in typo, although larger, to the Caledonia, Australia and Himalaya, all well-known boats, which nre now running In tho Eastern services. These now vessels were to accommodate 500 first and second-saloon passengers, and they are each 500 ft In length with proportionate beam and power, measuring about 8000 tons register, with machinery to indicate 11,000 horse-power. They arc being built by Mesrrs Harlnnd and Wolff and Messrs Caird and Co. The first of these vessels (the China) has, tho cable tells \w, Just been successfully launched at Belfast by Messrs Harlaml and Wolff. Tho India, which is a sister boat to tho China, will bo ready for launching shortly, and the remaining two vessels will be delivered In timo to commence work previous to tho termination of the present mail contracts, which expire in Januory, 1898. Those font now vessels arc, like their predecessors, driven by single screw engines, but tho distribution of power and smoothness of working will bo ensured by employing engines of tho four-cylinder tandem type. Tho Btortnbltd, for Wanganui; tho Aorero, lor Patea and Opunako; tho Kennedy, for Nelson and West Coast; (ho Queen of tho South, for Foxton; tho Wairoa, for Motucka and Takaka; the Herald, for Groymoulh; tho Penguin, for Lyttelton; tho Orowaiti, for Westport; the Mahinapua, for Now Plymouth and Ononunga; tho Wainui, for Nelson and Pleton, and tho VVaihi, for Blenheim, sailed yesterday. Tho Hydrographic Office of the United States, which recently issued an interesting chart showing all the submarine cables of tho world, have just issued another showing alt tho Arctic region according to latest surveys and reports. The Matatua left Lyttelton yesterday for London via Monte Video with a full cargo of moat. Tho Grafton loaves Nelson at noon to-day for Wellington. Tho Manawatu, which loaves Wanganui at noon to-day for Oroymouth, returns from that port to Wellington for slipping.
