Tho Mahono steamed do\vn to Port at 8.30 n.'iv yesterday, and sailed in the aftornoon for Sydney, via Cook Strait. Tho Waikaro steamed up to town yestordav, and takes up tho Tarawera's running in tho Auckland servico, sailing from Port Chalmers at 3 p.m. to day. Tho Storm sailed at 7 a.m. yesterday for Northern ports . Tho Harbour Master (Captain M'Callum) wis'engaged yesterday in taking sountlings from tho Plucky in tho Victoria Channel. A northern exebango states that a new croiv, conewting of fivo seamen, got together for' tho Mejonesian inissian steamer Southern Cross, roiusod to 6igji tho artiolea at Auckland last week unless they received tho union wage. _ Tho managers of tho cieatnor, after consideration, coneedod their domands, and tho men, signed at £6 10s a month.

. Tito barquo Inyorraaok, Which left Liverpool on April 5, arrived at Wellington last Saturday' evening. Captain Boattio reports having experienced tho usual variable we<v tbor, and came through without an mishap. Sho was off . tho Snarea 87 days out, and comploted the journey in 99 days. The vessel's cargo for Wellington i o 'bl s 1780 tons. After discharging there she will come on to Dimcdin, for which port sho has 1000 tone.

Having been delayed by bad weather Vflii Ist coming- down from Auckland to Dunedin, the Tarawera will bo a day lato in arrival hero this trip. She, is duo hero at 8 a.in. to-day, and proceeds to Port at 2 p.m. to lay up. On arrival, Captain Rolls and lib officers will transfer to tho Waikaro.

After a close examination of tho proposed 'dncp-sca harbour at Grormoutli, Mr J. P. Maxwell lin« arrived at tho conolusion that a good and eafo harbour, having over 30 feet of water at tow tides.' can be made lit Groymouth at a. moderate cost. Everything, ho Baid, points to a .niuoh greater •usees fiian at Tujjarii. TII9 vliolc matter

will bo brought before I lie Government', and will bo dealt with at the next meeting of the Ilarbour Board. The Waikaro will remain in Hie UunedinAuekland miming until August 29, when she will be relieved bv the 'J'arawora, after wluoh the Waikure will lake lij) flic Mooralu 8 running, sailing on Sptember 1 for Melbourne. Meanwhile the Moeraki will lay up for overhaul, and will resume her running on September 18, on which dafo she will sail for Sydney, via Cool; Strait. Tho. Bleaincr Noodle*. which arrived at Melbourne a couple of weeks ago from Vancouver direct,"carried u of timber estimated nt 3,300,000 feet. Not onlv were her holds full, but the limber was piled up on dock to a height of eight feet, giving the vessel a peculiar appearance. She met heavy weather I luce days out, but cscapcd without damage. The ship Melville Island, which arrived at Wellington on Tuesday, brought a cargo of 3150 casks of creosote for the New Zealand Government, thii commodity having eomo greatly into favour of late for increasing the woalher-residini! properties of nativo timliors used for railway 6lcepers and other purposes. Messrs Richardson and Co., of Napier, owners of the coastal steamers Toroa, Kahu, Ruru, and Fanny, havo docided to increaso tho tonnage of the steamer Toroa. At I'/Vejcnt. tho Toru:i carries a. crew of 16 all told, which includes Hires engineers and three firemen. Tho , vessel's tonnage can bo increased considerably, without any in crcasß in tho crow being rcqiurtxl by tho shipping regulations. The vessel is now compelled to carry a crew which would suffice for a vessel several times her size. It is therefore intended to lengthen tier by about 30 foot, which will mean an incrcaso in her oarrying capacity of about 150 tons deadweight. Messrs M'Keogan Hro*3., of' Wollington, arc at prcsnnt engaged in drawing up .plans and specifications for tho work.

Nows has boon' rocoivcd stating that Captain Olson, who commanded the Shire liner Nairnshire on her last visit to Pbrt Chalmers, died op board from the cffects of oppopiexy 26 days after tho vessel left Wellington. Tho duty of navigating tho vessel then devolved upon tho chief officer, Mr Page, who commanded tor the rest of tho voyage. Tho sad event cast quito a gloom ovor'tho ship's company, which included a number of passengers. Captain Olsen was highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends in this colony, and at tho time of his doath Iwd bcon in Messrs Turnbull, 'Martin, and Co.'s service for about a quarter of a century. He was one of't.he pioneers in tho frozen meat trade, having commanded tho steamer Elderslie during tho early sUgos of what lias, since developed into one of our most important industries.
