The 6t<samer Ripplo is oxpeeted to arrive ,at Port Chalmers for dooking to-morrow, and when sho vacate tho doek her placo will be taken by the Mararoa, whioli arrived at Port Chalmers yesterday morning for docking and overhaul. In l'cferenoo to tho recommendation in tho annual report of tho Marine Department that a lighthouse a desirablo at •sithok Tiorth Capo or Capo Brett, it ia

understood I hat preference i 3 given lo tho first locality, as it is the turning point of vessels bound from tho west io Auckland. It is estimated lliat tlie cost of such a. lighthouse, willi keepers' houses and all <K|\ilpmeril of a liffWt of the second order, would amount, lo about. £7500. The three-masted scoiy Hawk, with a cargo'of timber from Hcrekino, arrived off the Heads yesterday morning, and wps towod up to (own, berthing at l-ho Rattray street wharf about. 5 p.m. Sho left Horefcino on July 29, aud had an exceptionally' fine weather passage, with .smooth teas, ail the way down the fast.

The ship Clenlui was towed out to sea oarly yesterday morning, and the morning being fine and calm, silo was given an offing of about six miles, from whence sho stood away 011 her voyogo to her destination, Port. Pinco, South America. Her draught, on leaving was 21ft liri aft and 20ft. 9in forward, and she was considered lo be better fitted lo withstand the elements than when she first sot 011 on her voyage, hor lightor draught and ljot-ter trim being not tho least of the advantages in hor favour. Everything above and balow was as spick and span as care and skill could make hor, and Iter line appearance generally has evoked, most favourable comment durjng the Inst few days. The Glenlui looked a picture yesterday morning, an<l tho bystanders ohcored Captain Scolt ami his orow as they waved farewell to Port Chalmers.

In the course of an appreciative rofcronoo to the distinct,ion conferred upon Sir James Mills, Fnirplny gives a briof sketch of bis curoor, and bis connection with "tho largest shipping concern in the British de-pondencie-s.

The name of tho Union Steam Ship Company is well known throughout tho Australasian colonics, and also to mtuiy in this country, as a most successful concern, and it is recognised that 'by its vigorous policy it has contributed in 110 small measure to tho development and prosperity of New Zealand.
