The Hanpiri went on the Patent Slip yesterday morning te have her bottom cleaned. While lying at the Jervois quay Wharf having her propeller seen to the Hanniri got a_ thorough overhauling, and was improved in one or two necessary particulars.

This morning the! barques Drnmblair and Saxon will, wind and .weather nermitting. start on their run, to London. Both vessels are in excellent trim, and are expected, with conditions favourable to make smart passages: in fact, considerable interest is being taken in the* friendly contest which ■ is to take The feur-mnsted Drumblair has been detained owing to a difficulty in securing a crew, but tbe full comnlemeut is now on board, and nothing should occur to rrre- ‘ vent the two wool vessels getting away together.
