The Moana, . from Melbourne,, via Hobart and Muff, arrived at Port yesterday at 3 a.m., and berthed at the cros? wharf, Dunedin, at. 11.30 a.m. She left Melbournu at 2 p.m. on (.lie 24th insi., and arrived at Hobart at 1 a.m. on the 27th. Taking her departure from tlio latter port at 2 p.m. the same • day, she arrived at Bluff at 2 p.m. on the 291h inst. She experienced moderate southwest gales and high seas on the run from 'Hobart, and the 'vessel rolled heavily. The Moana left Bluff at 9 p.m. on the 29th, and experienced fine weather and meliorate soafi until arrival. She leaves for Sydney, via Wellington, to-day. The Warrimoo, on arrival hero from Melbourne, via Hobart and Bluff, on September 6, will withdraw for overhaul. -The Maitai will take up her run, leaving hero on Wednesday, September 7, for Lyttelton, Wellington. Sydney, and bade The Wanaka will load at Oamaru about Friday, September 9, ■ Bluff on tlio 12th, and Timaru on the 14th, for Napier, Ginborne, and Auckland. The Koonya will leave' Grcymouth (hi; morning, • aud is duo at Bluff on Friday, ami Dunedin on Saturday. Tho Kaiapoi will load navy eoal at Westport at the' end of this week for Sydney. Tho Taviuni should reach Dunedin from Oamaru to-day. She will leave hero tomorrow for tho West Coast, via ports, in tk> time-table run. Tho Invercargill arrived at 4.20 a.m. yesterday from Timaru, and left in the afternoon for Invercargill. Tho Wimmcra left Dunedin for Sydney, via East Coast and Auckland, at noon yesterday. Tho schooner Bell Flower, with a- cargo of kauri from- Hcroltino, had to put into Lyttelton on Sunday for shelter. Her cargo is for Invercargill. A fishing cutter, built .by Messrs Millar Bros, Carey's Bay, Port Chalmers, loft for its destination at Timaru yesterday. The cutter-length ,33ft, width Bft 6in, depth 3ft 9in, oil engine- eight hor&3-t>owcr—was taken away under hor own powor by Mr .1. Jidmonston and two companions. ■ It. is stated that the New Zealand Shipping Company's.Rimutaka, owing to the. recent construction of tho Rotorua and Ruahine, and tho present building of another largo liner, will bo taken out of the passenger service, and will go into the cargo,carrying. She is now booked to carry a'number of immigrants to Western Australia, and on her return to England after that trip her passenger accommodation will be removed.

Among the now steamers listed to sail from England for New Zealand ports during the present year the following may bo mentioned:—The Shaw, Savill, ami Albion Company's Pakeha, 8000 tons, will leave next month. The New Zealand Shipping Company's Rotorua, 11,000 tons, will sail from London on October 27, and will call at Hobart. Tho Fcderal-Houlder-Shiro liner Argyllshire, 14,000' lons, will bo ready to sail in December. Other steamers to follow will be the Federal-Houldcr-Shire liner Ross-shire, 14,000 tons, and tho Tyser liner Star of India, 7500 tons.

Mr Bosschart, Consul-general at Melbourno for the Netherlands, ha 6 received a cable ■ message from hie Excellency the Governor-General of the Netherlands, India, to the effect that a squadron of three ironclads—tho Do. Ruijter, Hertog Hendrik, and Kcningin Rcgentcs—sister coast defence battleships of 5014 tons, left, Sourobaya on August 15 for Australia.. It is intended to visit Brisbane, Sydnoy, Melbourne, and Fremantle. Tho squadron will probably arrivo at Brisbano on September 7 or 8. '

Tho coming wool harvest in. Australia (says an exchange) is oxnected to beat last year's clip, iteelf & record one, by several hundred thousand bales. With the immense quantity for export which.this means, it is hoped that shipowners will be enabled to seeuro/ a payable rate of freight. Last season, it will be remembered, owing, it is said, to internal diff&rences, the rate was a " lighting" one, notwithstanding that the supply of wcol often exceeded the amount of tonnago available. Meat, too, is coming forward once more in large quantities, and the refrigerated capacity ■of the steamers loading Homeward is being taxed to tho utmost. '

If tho announced measurements are compared, the now Hamburg-American liner to bo built-in Germany will be considerably tho longest and widest ever' constructed. She is to have a length of 879 ft and a breadth of. 95ft, as against 840 ft and 90ft respectively in the case of the leviathan White Star liners. In duo course,' no doubt, fuller particulars will be forthcoming respecting the German 6teimer. Meantime, it -is useful to recall certain facts concerning the two White Star boats which she sets out to surpass. The Olymoic and Titamo are each to carry more than 5000 people all told. .They will have nine steel docks, and one of them will be largely given up to a ballroom. There will be a big swimming bath on board, to say nothing of shower baths attached to cabins. The main dining saloon will seat 600 passengers. There will bo a number of cafes to chooso from, one of them of the verandah type, and ci. garden on the sun deck as well as a palm ga'nden. The grill-room, with high-backed stalls of old oak, and broad tables, will bo anothor feature. Tho Germans aro clover in introducing newfeatures into their passenger steamers, but in point of luxurious comfort they will surely find it difficult to eclipse the Olymoic and tho Titanic. *
