Before going on the loading berth, tho steamer Opa.wa, which has been Jaltl up at Port Chalmere for Kraal months past,, will probably proceed to Auckland to be Odckod, for' cleaning and painting. Captain Lindsay, who was formerly in command of the t/inion Company's steamer i Kamona. hps been reiujving Captain Ram-

say as acting liarbourmastei at Oamaru whilst, tile latter otlicev'is on holiday leave, _ The ICotare is due at Waikawa this morn'ing, where she will load a full cargo of timber for Dunedin.

The Colonial Sugar Refininff Company has named its latest steamer Fiona This vessel is being built at Middlesboro and is designed to carry 7000 tons of cargo on a small draught.

This is the fourmasted, barque Urania, 3265 tons gross, and she flies the German flag: The cargo steamer Glendevon, from New Yoi k, \ia Auckland and intermediate ports, arrived at Dunedin yesterday nfternoon. She brings about 800 tons of general cargo for this port, including 5000 cases naphtha, benzine, otc., and completes her discharge here. She will probably sail again this evening or tomorrow for Newcastle. According to an exchange over 100 American sailing vessels were, recently laid up at Boston (U.S.A.), owing chiefly to the unsatisfactory state of tho markets, in ' Argentine. Some, of the vessels are 1 reported to have lain idlo at their moorings for several months. It was reported last evening that dredge 222 was on fire, whereupon Mr Kennedy (night watchman) promptly hurried (town to tho Victoria wharf, whenco the dredge could be seen in tho channel below Ravensbourne. Sho appeared to 'be all 'right, but soon afterwards steamed up to tho wharf, when it was feared that tho rumour was correct. Upon inquiry it transpired that a large busn lire on tho foreshore near where the dredge was working had been mistaken by tho informant for a conflagration on tho dredge. Referring to the satisfactory reports about the oil-bearing fields in New Zeajand, tho Petroleum World s^'s: —"This is most satisfactory, bccaiise, • quite apart from the Imperial aspect of these developments, it is recognised that New Zealand enjoys exceptional geographical advantages in relation to the markets of the Far East and tho Antipodes, and has a climate in which work can bo carried on all the year round. Whercvci oil ia produced at ■reasonable: expense a market exists, and New Zealand hopes to get a. large share of the crude oil trade of the Southern Hemisphere. Inquiries in New Zealand show that coastal, intercolonial, and Home boats would use a home-produced oil fuel, for it is in the Antipodes that the use of oil fuel on board steamers makes for economy." Captain Dodero, of the Italian barque Caracciolo, which arrived at Wellington on Sunday night, after a. voyage of 148 days, reports having met with heavy weather during tho voyage. • On ber 2, uhen north-west of Tasmania, a storm was met with, and after that gales recurrcd at intervals of four days. The first heavy gale was < from north-west, changing round to souih-vrest;- Previously, on September 11, weather not too favourable was experienced in weathering it, with tho aid of a. composition of oil and koroseno poured from, the forwai'd part of the ship. But the gale on November 2 was quite another matter. . Tho vessel was blown down to 46dcg aiid had her foresail (in tho rings and with" a reef in) carried away:' Another gale saw the barque as far south as 43ileg, and there her second foresail was lost. The wheel, too, was also damaged, but temporary repairs were effected with ropo and planks, and'lastcd till arrival in port. Altogether the voyage from Tasmania, occupied 15 days. Mount Egmont, tho first point of New Zealand sighted, being seen on November 21. The C'aiacciolo's cargo consists of Marseilles tiles, half for Wellington and half to be taken on to Auckland, where the vessel will dry-docked.
