The Inveric has a full Canadian and American cargo for New Zealand

The Fiji-Melbourne ninning that was carried on by the Maiiapnuri seme,months ago is nbout to be're.-timed after an 'interval of nearly 10 months owing to the diovfrotis liurrtamo which devastated the Islands early in (he present year. Owing lo the revival of the island fruit trade the Matii-pouri will he despatched from Sydney to-morrow for Suva, and will leave Fiji on her return trip on November 18. The service will be maintained thereafter bv regular sailings every 28 days.

The failure of the ferry sleanier Maori to connect with the first express on Saturday morning apparently raised the ire of soma of her snuui-!x>und jiaAHMigers. One of the latter states, that the weather conditions were in every way favourable towards the aocompiyunciit of a short pasrage across the straits, but instead of n fast trip she arrived some hours late, and southern passengers consequently failed to connect with the through train for destinations south of Diuiedin. The reasons assigned wore faulty stoking on the part of the firemen, and those who had perforce lo spend Saturday night Sunday a way from Iheir homes roundly condemned the tactics of the firemen, who appear to lie getting quite accustomed to the maledictions of the (ravelling ptiblio The Union Company's chartered steamer Devon is discharging coal at Lylteltou, where she arrjved on Friday. Captain ltobertson, formerly of the Sussex, is in charge of the Devon with .Mr 11. Caunce as chief odieer. Tho Devon was delayed seven days at Nowcaplle w'aitng for coal, anil owing to her draught, nearly 27ft aft, had to wait two days after she was loaded before she could get out over the Newcastle bir. She left Noweafitle at 5 a.m. on Saturday week, and bud a fine weather passage of six days. The Ilevon has a full cargo of 7453 toil* of coal for Lyttelton and Port ChnlnicrH, but, owing to the ehorlage of trucks, holidays, and the fact that her gear i.j not the liwt for handling coal, her arrival at this port is somewhat uncertain.

After discharging at Wellington and Lyltelton the New Zealand Shipping Conipuny'it steamer Rakaia is cxpeet'-d to reach Dulled'n alx>iit the end of this week to complete tJie di-ehargo of her cargo from Montreal. Tho Rakiu'ti sailed from Montreal on August 10. but. owing lo a heavy fog, was delayed in the. St. Lawrence, She nrrived at Capetown on September 12, and left the following day for Melbourne.

TEMPESTUOUS VOYAGES. SUCCESSION OF GALES. Tho New Zealand Shipping Company's steamer Olaki, which arrived lit Auckland on Thursday, had a very tempestuous voyage irom According to the New Zealand Herald tho vessel had a particularly bad lime, heavy gales and huge seas being the order of the day dining tho whole of the voyage. It was not until she round .M North Cape that she encountered anylliing approaching fine weather. Tho Olaki left London on September 8, anil straightway ran into bid weather. Coming down tlio African coasl she met the full fotce mi the s-oulh-east trade wind, and great seas repeatedly swept her decks, and caused damage to the deck fittings. On leaving Capelown, where the bunkers were replenished, more gales were met with, and the severe weather continued until Tasmania was sigh'cd, when it Uvaine, if anything, worse. During the. night of October 18, shortly before the northern coast of Tasmania eiin'ie into view-, the chief officer ;Mr R. I!. Covte) met with a serious accident. The night was very dark and stormy, and 'ho vessel was rolling heavily, and was ercounlermg huge head seas. Mr Covte had occasion to go forward to attend to the liatchwavs, when be missed his footing, and fell mvirly 30ft into No. 3 hold. He sitstainod severe cuts about tlio head and face and injuries lo his left leg, being rendered unconscious, lie was attended lo by the ship's doctor (Dr Gordon), and was confined to his eabi.i for the remainder of the vovage. He has now tceovered fmm the accident, but he received a severe shock. Some anxiety was being felt ior the Otaki, which wits three days overdue from London, but the severe vovage which she sucoitisful'.y passed through accounts for her delay. The vessel is not fitted with wireless." It was into'ided that a plant should have been installed during her stay in. Ixuidoii, but owing to the strikes it was found impossible to carry out the work in time. Next voyneo, however, it is expected that she will be wirclessly equipped. Tempestuous weatlwr was experienced by the New Zealand Shipping Company's steamer Rakaia. which arrived at Auckland on Tlmrsdav morning. After leaving the CinadiM: |im the ..learner, in common with a large number of vessels, was delayed in the St. Lawrence for several hours by a dense fog. After clearing the coast, and until arrival at Capetown, the weather was comparatively fine, but in the South Indian Ocoai: exceptionally heavy north-wosterlv and south-westerly gale* were encountered. The vessel's decks wxire almost continuously awash (says tlio Auckland Star), and all movable deck gear had either to be securely battened down"or stowed below. There was a slight improvement vrhen within 500 miles

of C-ipo Otway, hut before roacliinjr Mel-l.-ourne another heavy gah? wan met with, wlueh :i:ado travelling vorv unpleasant. After bavin-; .Sydney for Auckland lino weatlwr was experienced in ti;o Tcsinan Sea.
