The Courtfiold, duo at Wellington on Saturday, is to sail on Wednesday for southern ports. A small outbreak of fire occurred on the vessel on tho voyage r mm New York to Melbourne, and consignees will have to sign a general aver-, bond before delivery orders can be' obtained.

The Kowhai, which arrived at Grcymonth yesterday morning, will proceed to-morrow to Timaru with a full loar# n timber. . . - Captain Kennedy, master of the barque Louisa Craig, reports that whilst waiting for a favourable wind to enter xlokianga on April 25tb, he passed over what appeared to be a shoal between five and six miles off the heads. The shoal appeared to extend in an east and direction, and was well out to seaward of the bar, and in a position where the chart shows deep water. Owing to the unexpected discovery and tho speed ot tho vessel at the time, there was no time to take soundings before tho vessel -bad crossed over tho patch, but tho bottom appeared to bo sand, which was distinctly seen- A rough estimation would give three to four fathoms on tho shoal at low water. This position is well out to sea, and has no connection with Hdfcianga bar, although, quite possibly, the shoal has been formed through the agency of the north spit. Tho well-known New Zealand trader Ihumata is, like the s.s. Joan Craig, to. make a trip out of her regular business. The arrangement agreed upon is for her to load coal at Newcastle for Noumea. After discharge is completed there she will proceed to Surprise Island and load, for either Lyttelton or tbo Bluff.

Dowell has joined the vessel as third mate. , The Clan Kacinnea* 3755 tons has been chartered to carry a cargo of jarrah from Bunbnry to New Zealand ports. Tho Hercules. 3789 tons, has been chartered for the same purpose. The Aorere is to go on the patent slip for cleaning and painting to-day.

The Canopus, from Westport, was duo at 10 a.m. on Monday, but had to slow down owing to tho fog. On Monday night the fog was still thick at the heads.
