Western Australia, Klic will lead a eiirpo of jarrali at that port for New Zealtind ports. Captain Jl'Konzie, who Ims for somo time past been connected with the Union Company's shore staff at Tort CliaJmcrs, proceeded to Wellington yesterday to tako command of the Kit-tawa, relieving Captain Hropliy, who goes on shoro leave tor n month.

N'oill. who lias been [or some time purser on the Taltme, /rave? that vessel to-<lay. anil resigns from ihe Union Oompanv's 'service. The Canadian-Pacific railway liner recently accomplished a record pa«</ige from Liverpool to Halifax (Nova- Scotia), her time being 5d 18hr lSinin. Mr Peterson, late, chief engineer of ihe Wairuna. anil Mr M'Calhnu. late chief engineer of the Monowai, have exchanged positions. - Captain ,1. R. Barter, who htu been associated with Ihe Federal-) louldcr Shiro line for the past 12 months in New Zealand. left for Sydney on Saturday afternoon by tho Monowai. •Thn Now Zealand and African steamer Ayrshire, with cargo from Liverpool, was

unable to work on Monday on account of v fhc rain. Tho vessel is not expected to yet '' away from Wellington for LyUelton until t to-morrow. The Ayrshire, is duo hero J about (lie beginning of next week. J Tim I'akiura sailed last evening for ; Tnvereai'gill and the Bluff. After dU[■barging at Ihose porls she proceeds lo j, Stewart Island lo load timber for Dun- ] edin. 'Hie Union Company's Eastern trader ] Apnriina is now loading at Calcutta, and t is fixed lo sail for New Zealand ports, via, ( Singapore and S.nnaraw;, next Monday. v After. calling at tile Bltill' and Itivevenr- 1 gill this trip, the Rimu proceeds lo Stewart I Island lo lead timber for Dunedin, arriv- -1 ing hero 011 Sunday. 3 The steamer John Ifardie is lo come lo c Dunedin afi<n- discharging at. LvtteUou, - and is duo hero about the middle of next ' week. She is bringing about 1000 lons of J general cargo for this )>ort. ( The Wafrirnoo steamed down lo Port „ Chalmers yesterday morning, and sailed at 3.20 p.m. for Sydney, via Wellington and r Cook Strait. ' t The Invereargill arrived at 7 a.m. yesler- j day with a load of limber from Waikawa, c and after discharging proceeded lo Tort J to lay up for docking and overhaul. . The Norwegian four-masted ship 1 Thoodor. 2437 (ens gross, las lieeii posted I at. Lloyd's as Twelve monlhs ago she sailed from Tampa (Florida) for Yokohama, and no tidings of her have ever been received. She was buill in 1862 for a steamer: and was well known as fhc ' China, for manv years in I he Atlantic ] ferry service. Eventually she was transformed inlo ,1 sailing ship, and although , 45 years old still retained her 100 A 1 classification at Lloyd's. ( Abundant proof of Iho value of sub- 1 marine signalling apparatus as an aid to navigation is frequently given. One of Iho latest and mosl striking examples is reported by the nwsler of tho N.D.T,. liner ■ Kronprinz Wilhelin, which vessel is : equipped with 11 submarine sounding receivur." lie states that, after a run of 1000 miles, during which (lie weather was so thick and foggv that no observations could be taken. !t<- distinctly beard tho submarine hell tin l're Island li<:lihhi|), lit 11 distauco of nine miles, nnd that of Samlv Hook, eight miles distant. Captain M'Clellan, of tho six-masted schooner Fileanor A. Perev, heard the bell on the Tail of the Horseshooj Chesapeake Bay. at. a distance of three .miles. The question of installing Ihe submarine bell signal at suitable stations on Ihe Urilish coast has lwcomo very prominent of lale. The merchant, service is very much in favour of it. but so far the Hoard of Trade and the Admiralty have exhibited' an indifference, which has occasioned much adverse comment in Hie leading shipning journals, hut Ihe nietler is now jointly considered. Willi (hi! departure of tlm Nore 011 February 20 (says Lloyd's Shipping Oazelle). Greenock will L-e left willtout a single t-Jiip of tho P. and 0. Company's fleet on hand, either in cotireo of construction or undergoing overhaul. Such a fitato of things has been rave during the pa;'t. 20 years, during which neriod Messrs Csird have boon entrusted willi something like 90 per eo.nt. of the-company's dot tonnage. , It is reported that Sir Thomas Sutherland's company have plant? in preparation for fi.ve new vessols, and it may 1)0 taken as probable that the Ureenocl: firm will as hitherto, secure a goodly share of those.. Thero was a remarkable ooourronsc in the Tyne 011 January 30. About 10 o'clock, when it waa low water, I here was a sudden rise in the height of tho river that varied from something like 4 feet at Ouseburn to 6 inches farther inland. Tho water remained high for about 10 ininut.ee, and. fell again us mpidlv as it had risen. There was nolhink like a hore. and nothing lo givo warning of tho rise, il was just a noiseless swelling of t-lio wata-. Crave fears a.re entertained for the safety of tho line German four-masM barque Alsl-e.rnixe—one tho largest sailing vessels afloat—which is now 112 days out from Callao, Porn, in ballast, for Sydney Heads for ordcre. Sho failed as long ago a", November 26 last, and since then .has not been reported. On.itrriva) at Sydney she was to have 'been ordei d -6n to Melbourne ■to.load wheat for th:- United Kingdom. Tho Alstornixe sailed from Peru about, tho sanm linio as the barques Annasona and Muelgwyn, both of which wore loet during a terrific cyclone 011 January 18. When t-hd news of these disasters reached Sydney the fear was o\-prcs6e<t that other mishaps would be report™, and now that the Alsternixo is very seriously overdue, it is generally believed that slw fell in with tho 6amc tempest, anjl was either dismayed or lost. The Maelgwyn left Pisco. Peru, in ballast, for Sydney Heads for orders on November 17; tho Anuatona sailed from C'allao', also in 1a.11r.~1. for Newcastlo on November 20; and six days later tho Afetoj-mxe. in eomlmimf of Captain Alcliaber, was despatched from Peru. DEFLECTION OF OCEAN CURRENTS. Experienced shipmasters in tlia Atlantic trade have for some time past reported a change in tho course of the Gulf Stream, and tho Now York hyclragraphic offico now reports that it is many miles west of its u-ual course. North Atlantic weather has also undergone a change; N.W. winda being- now experienced undor conditions ot warmth and moisture almost suggestive of S:W. weathei-. As showing that too much reliance must not be plarad upon "current churls." Captain Forsdicl;, of the , Orari, recently informed .1 Daily Times representative that for Ihe first timo in his experience; of over 30 years ho found that tho sot of tho current in tlio Southern Ofceaii was almost wholly to the south during his last voyage to New Zealand. On two days only <iid ho notieo any deviation in the opposite direction, and on those occasions tlio current was feeble. Sin«* tho abandonment of tlio Port Stevens the Southern Ocean currents have teen freely discussed in shipping circles, and, generally speaking, tho theory whioh finds most, favour is (hat 1 'the latier are influenced by prevailing winda to a. much greater extent than is popularly supposed.
