The Mapourika, commencing on Monday next, will leave Wellington on Mou(tayo and xhursdays at noon for Picton and Nelson, and will arrive back here on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. ~. The Calm is due at Wellington et midday to-day from JL>uuedin, Timara, and Lyttelton. The vessel is to sail at davbreak to-morrow for Wanganui. •ihe ±Saden Powell is due at Wellington next Wednesday with a load of timber from Greymouth. After discharge the vessel will undergo overhaul at Wellington. The ilapourika was relaunched, from the slip yesteruay morning at o o'clock, and sailed at 12.10 p.m. lor Pieton and Nelson. The lily, according to a telegram received by the Lyttelton agents on Wednesday evening, arrived' at Kaipara tha previous day, her boom during the passage having been carried away. The Wootton is due again at "Wellington to-morrow night from Lyttelton, and will sail on the return trip on Monday afternoon. ~,,,,. Levin and Co. are advised that as the Itarawa was unable to cross outward over the Manukau bar until yesterday morning she will not leave New Plymouth until 4 p.m. to-day on tho return trip- , „• The Ngahere is due back at Wellington on Monday morning from Greymouth' with a full load of coal. She will get away on the return trip on Tuesday. The Ngatoro is expected here on Wednesday from Greymouth. The Monowai was expected to leave Dunedin last night for Lyttelton, although there was a possibility of her being delayed till to-day. She will, as previously announced, &o from Lyttelton direct to Napier. Passengers for Wellington will be brought on by the ferry steamer from Lyttelton. I The congestion of cargo at Wellington for Auckland, it is explained by the Union Co., is attributable solely to the shortage of shipping. The Mapourika was diverted from the Auckland-Welling-ton runnine to the Wellington-Picton-Nelson service to permit of the Pateena being overhauled. It is probable that when the Pateena is able to resume running the Mapourika will revert to her former.'service. 'CARGO FOR NAPIER. Johnston and Co. advise that as the Ripple is going on the alip for overhaul on Monday she will not make her usual trip from Wellington to Napier and Gisborne next week. The Calm will, however, be loading at Wellington for Napier on Monday, and it is expected the Koutounui will be here later in the "-eek to load for Gisborne. The Kahu should also be back in Wellington to load again for V Napier on Friday. "'GLAUCUS DUE MONDAY. Cathie, Dempster and Co., local agents for the cargo steamer Glaucus, advise that the vessel is due at Wellington on Monday night from Surprise Island via Auckland, with part load of superphosphates to put out here. From Welhngtou the Glaucus is to sail on Thursday for Blufl. FERRY BOATS" SAIL LATHE. Commencing next Tuesday afternoon, the - Mararon. and Maori will leave Wellington; ..day about, at 4 p.m.. instead of at 3.30 p.m. This alteration has been made as the days are lengthening and thus permit of the navigation of Cook Strait in daylight at a iater time as the summer advances.

' The regulations, which come into operation on October Ist, completely alter the nature of ithe examinations in many important respects, and also bring them under the marks system.
