About 200 excursionists aro ex]>ectcd to return from Lyttelton by tlio Mokoia. this trip.

' On her return from Sydney to Auckland 011 March 31 the Manuka will tranship to the Mokoia and return to Sydney lo outer the Vancouver service, replacing the Miowera, which will take up the intercolonial running, leaving Sydney on April 10 for Duncdin, via Auckland.

The same system of signalling is Ixung installed at Flushing Harbour and on two lightships on the Belgian toast which these mail vessels pass.

The Marino Society have been asked to supply 30 Royal Fleet. Reservists to serve cither as seamen or firemen on tho British stcamcM King David, Ariadne, and Port Caroline. The Ariadno will take six of these men as sailors and a like number as firemen, whilst her boatswain and carpenter will also 1)0 Fleet Reservists. In addition she will carry a couple of Warspitc lads, so that practically the whole of tho crew will be British. 111 regard to tho supply of ex-naval men for the merchant service, it is to be noted that there are picntv of 6ailors but not so many stokers available.

In connection with the improvements lo l)o carried out in the port of St. Petersburg, a correspondent of the Novoe Vremva points out that tho silting no of tho channel is so persistent that in the course of 250 years it is calculated that St. Petersburg and Cronstadt will lie connected by dry land. This process, joined to the cvorinorcaaing sizo of ships, points to a. comparatively early <late when tho port, of St. Petersburg will havb fo be suppressed, a.nd all tho money spent on its improvement will have been in vain. Cronstadt is the natural port, which should >bc united with St. Petersburg by a dam, which would furnish cxocllcnt quayage, says tho writer. To make such a dam would cost much less than the constant, outlay involved in keeping the port of St. Petersburg open.
