CHKJSTCHCKCH. March 9, The calm weather, coupled with the warmth of the past few days, has been responsible for a dense fog along the coast since Saturday last, and consequently steamers have been delayed. Last night there was a thick login Lyttclton 11 arbor, and outgoing steamer:; \ve:-<- lost to view after passing Officers' 'Point. The frequent sounding of their whistles could bo heard as the vessels "felt" their way out of port. The Kittoivav. which arrived yesterday evening flom'Croymouih, met fog banks on her wav down from Cape Campbell. Th" turbine I'eirv steamer Maori, which left Wellington at 8.5 p.m. yesterday, encountered the fog about midnight- oil Waipapa Poini, end was steaming through it right up to Lyftelion Heads. The i'og reouired exfrem" caution in navigating the vessel, and she had to be slowed down frequently. The Maori was two hours behind time, and arrived in nort at S.-15 this morning. She was. of course, too late to connect with the first- express, but this was a matter of little moment when the difficulties of navigating the vessel and the responsibilities of the master, who was on the bridge all the v;?.y down, are taken into consideration. lIOKITTKA.
