Mr it. Burns, late second engineer of the Wakatipu, is now chief engineer of tho Maori, Tho schooner Mudora has been sold to Messrs Donald and Edonborougli, of Auckland, who intend to employ her in tho island trade. Captain R. Sopwith will have command of the Modern. The Southern Cross has been delayed on the Must Coast, and as she does not leave Napier for Wellington till 11 this morning, hor departure on ihu return to Auckland via Coast has been postponed till Monday. As previously arranged, the Wainui will be temporarily taken oil hor running on Monday. Tho extensive alterations which ara to bo made, and full particulars of which have already appeared, will no doubt make this favourite passenger steamer still ■ imro popular with tho travelling pablio. Her n ilooii accommodation will bo doubled by additional cabins, which are to bo lltted. Tho Mrthlnapua leaves New Plymouth for Wellington at 7 o’clock this morning, and should arrive here about 11 or 12 o’clock to-night.

Tho barque Dova has resumed her voyago to Newcastle-on-Tyne, having loft Port Chalmers yesterday. A ship, in all probability tho Ilermionc, from Nelson to Lyttelton, passed tho Heads bound South yesterday afternoon. The schooner Enterprise is now on hor way from Napier to Mercury Bay, whore she loads timber for Wellington. Tho brigantine Aratapu left tho Jervola quay jetty yesterday, and made an attempt to sail for Kaiparn, but tho wind failed her.

j THE BARQUE ASIA. ■ 1 As tho result of a paragraph which has appeared in ’ : a contemporary, grave fears wore expressed as to the safety of tho barque Asia, which left Oreymouth for Melbourne on August 12th. It will bo romem- \. J - *<rJi»crod that about a week ago it was reported in this ■<:* column that two pieces of timber, which, when put together, made the word “ Asia,” had been picked up .. thrtnwnilos north of Hokitika. This has since been ' • identified by tho captain of tho scow Moana as part of tho name-board on the stern of tho barque Asia, und tho pieces aro now at tho office of tho Marine Department. Wo aro glad to bo ablo to remove • any fears which may have been entertained as to tho safety of tho vessel and hor crow, as sho arrived safely at her destination on August 30th. Captain Greenwood, her master, reports having encountered somo heavy weather during tho passage across to Australia. After leaving Oreymouth, sho met with light variable winds until reaching lG7deg. 'K„ when a terrific gale from tho eastward set in, accompanied by a high, confused soa and much rain. Largo quantities of water were shipped, keeping tho decks in a state of submersion. During this gale tho vessel was kept away, and on tho weather moderating on tho third day she was again put on hor course, Tho wind then settled from tho 8.K., andj continued, with occasional strong breezes and rain squalls, until hor arrival in port. It was probably during tho stormy weather that tho Asia lost the pieces of timber ■which were found on tho West Const.
