WELLINGTON. Soundings taken on the bar on the 17th inst. by the engineer and harbour master showed 18ft at high-water spring tides, and revealed the fact that the water is deepening between the moles. Owing to the lowering of the bar and the concentration of the ebb tide by the making up of the moles now in course of construction, the engineer expects to see 20ft shortly, and he says the increased depth is due entirely to the influence of the works in progress.
