Before leaving Sydney tor Vancouver the other dav. the ma’.l boitt W arrirnoo was suojected to a most comprehensive overhaul. The whole of her lirst saloon lias been refurnished, and the second saloon is n new feature altogether. The accommodation is in the' afterpurl of the si earner, and consists of quite luxuriously appointed staterooms, upholstered in olive pmsh —all entirely new. In the dining saloon is a piano, and the fittings of thar part of the vessel lose nothing by comparison with i lie tarnishing found in thr-Jivst-class. In her original design the vessel was divided into tint two classes, first and second. The second-class was in the forepart of the ship, which is now known as tho steerage, and an excellent steerage if is. The’'Changes made wiM ■ he certain tin enhance the WarriiiK-io's popularity in the mail service. In the collision which occurred in Sydney Harbour on the night of the 7th lost, between the Manly steamer Brighton and the collier Brunner, formerly of the Union Company's fleet, the ferry steamer was so seriously injured that she had to he beached at Chowder Bay to prevent her sinking. About a foot above tbe waterline of the Brunner a large hole was torn in her bows large enough to nass a whaleboat through. If the-contact had occurred a little lower down the collier must have foundered, for she was inward bound from Newcastle with a full load ol coal. 'l'he Brighton is one of the finest anti best-equipped harbour -steamers in dvdnev. The Brunner was in charge of Can tain Henry. Advice has been received that Ihe New Zealand Shinning Company's steamer Panama arrived at Plymouth on the 2.511) inst.; also that the Waikato reached Afonte Video on August ‘Hth. Messrs Pitenilhly, Wallace and C*. advise ns that the schooner Lily proceeds from Wellington to Havelock to load for Lvttelton. For the next twelve months she will be engaged in the Lyttelton-Grey-month trade. The future movements of the schooner Clyde are as yet undecided. The steamer Rimn is at present loading transhipments, ex , Rangatira, at Dunedin, tor the Bluff and Invercargill, thence she proceeds to Stewart Island to load timber for Dunedin. On discharge she loads produce for Auckland, and from there goes on to Whangarei to load timber for Wellington. Air A. Campbell, late second engineer of the Pnkaki, took over the duties of engineer to the Wnkatu yesterday. The Omapere was placed on the patent slio for a cleaning and painting yesterday. The Stonnbird is making an intermediate trip between, Wanganui and Westport with a load of coal tor the former port. She is due here to-morrow. A telegram from Nelson stales the steamer Toroa. bound from Napier to Westport, put in'there at 8 o’clock yesterday morning short of coal. Owing to had weather on the coast the departure of the Wakatn for Lyttelton via Kaikonra and Port Robinson has been deferred until this evening. The same weather prevented |he Pania crossing the Wairan bar outwards yesterday morning. There are two sailing vessels now overdue at Sydney, for (he safety of which serious apprehensions are entertained. These are the Nith and the Perseverance. The former is nearly 200 days out from Tampa and the latter (90 days out from Probolingo to Newcastle. . Neither of (he vessels lias been spoken since they left port. The Nith is an. iron barque of 1000 tons, owned in Loudon by Messrs ,1. I. Jacobs and Co. She was built by Barclay, Curie and Co., of Glasgow, thirty years ago, aud lliongli an old ship, was a very strong one. The Perseverance is a splendid steel ship of 1800 tons only four years old, owned by Messrs A. Weir and Company, of Glasgow, and built by McMillan and Son, Limited, of 'Dumbarton.

The Monowai. which lias been laid up St Dunedin since her (rip to South Africa, will arrive here to-morrow in the Waikare’s running. She is timed to -leave for Sydney direct at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

The Takapnna is awaiting the arrival of the inward San Francisco mail at Onehnnga. The mail is due at Auckland (his morning, and if up to time should reach Wellington at about noon to-morrow. Captain Clarkson, formerly of the schooner Jessie Niccol, is at present in charge of Hie schooner Clyde, which has recently changed hands. He will, however, shortly transfer to (he brigantine Sir Henry, when Captain Cameron will take charge .of the Clyde.

| JOHN O’GAUNT, FROM LIVERPOOL. This vcsel was berthed at (he Queen’s Wharf yesterday morning. Of the voyage the chief officer. Air Saunders, reports that the barque left Liverpool on April 26th, ami had fine weather and light south-west and south winds to picking up the northeast trades in lat. 2* north.. The lino was crossed 3D days out. Thence light southeast trades and calms prevailed to crossing the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope on. July 7(h. The vessel met with a good deal of contrary wind and weather in running down the easting. In latitude 41.20 south, longitude 127.40 east, a violent south-east gale with high seas was encountered, during which large quantities of water were shipped. One big sea, which leapt on board started some of the starboard bulwark siannehions and smashed the topgallant rail. No land was sighted from passing Funchal Island in the North Atlantic until the Eaikonras were made on Tlnlrsday. The Snares were passed at night time. Southerly winds prevailed up (he coast to arrival in port on Saturday. The vessel has one passenger. Signor Pardo, a chief officer in the Spanish mercantile marine, who is making the round -trip to gain knowledge of English methods and the language. On the discharge of the Wellington portion of the cargo she goes on to Port Chalmers, and when clear of inward cargo loads grain at a -Southern port for the United Kingdom. THE WEATHER.
