The chief officer, Ur Hoi* ford, is remaining behind this trip, Mr Bonnor (late of the Orowaiti) assuming his duties. The barque Coromandel is now almost on an oven keel, and by the appearance of things the time is not very far distant when she will he once more afloat. A watertight bulwark has been built along the starboard side, what slope there is being from port to starboard, and at low tide there la now about two feet of original and temporary bulwark all round, while the poop deck aft and the forward deck-house are high out of water. The centrifugal pump that was being used during the operations when the vessel cantedover to the awkward position ehe has been in tor the past two years has been sub* merged daring the whole of that period, and will be used in conjunction with others to pump the water out when the time arrives. The unfavourable weather experienced lately has delayed the work considerably. _ . , , Mr A. E.

The Huon Belle was wearing out of Mechanics* Bay into the Quay street breastwork, and was struck on the starboard quarter, with the result that the bulwarks were smashed, the top sides and stringers splintered and the topmast broken short off. The vessel was not making any water, and was towed to the wharf. The Collector of Customs will make au investigation into Che o-uiso of the accident. The Waihora, from Sydney via Auckland and the East Coast, brought 133 tons cargo (including 2U cases fruit) for Wellington, and hod 240 tons for through ports. Mr D. Scott, late of the Waikare, is now acting as second officer in place of Mr Hutchings, who relinquished his duties temporarily owing to family bereavement. The Mana is engaged making a trip between Patea and Westport for a load of coal for the former port, and is not to leave Wellington again for Patea until Monday next.
