Tho biggest shearing* in the world have recently been orcctod in ILM. dockyard at Portsmouth, at a cost o[ £60.000. They are 160 ft high, and arc tested to lift 100 tons, but, arc capable of lilting 200 tons. The s.s. Elingamito, from Sydney, via tho north, reached Dimedin yesterday.

Complaints are frequently made as to tlio confusion caused by., vc&eli lmving the same name. As illustrating this it may bo mentioned that thcro arc two sailing vessels, both German barques, on their way to Melbourne, and each bears the. name of Anna. To still further complicate matters, there is at the present lime in port nt Melbourne a steamer named Anna. Tho last-menlioited craft is under the Norwegian flag, and has just boon chartered to convey a cargo of coal from Newcastle to Manila.

The Montebdlo, a French barque bound from Cardiff to Honolulu, unexpectedly put in her appearance at Sydney on the 16th inst. She left- Cardiff on 1 March 16, and when abreast of Capo Louwin on May 20 sprang a leak. Tho water, which made its way into the forepcak at the rate of oft of 4ft a day, was easily kept in cheek by the pumps, and tho cargo was not damaged in any way.. The captain, however, deemed it advkiblo to call at Sydney to communicate'with his owners by cable.
