The barque Bebington is now 147 days out from London to Lyttelton, but the “ Press ” says that little anxiety is felt for her in well-informed quarters. The BebIngion has made passages of from 150 to 170 days to the colony. She is a slow Vessel, but an exceedingly strong and safe one, so that little apprehension is felt about her. The Bebington is not a stranger to this port. The Union Steamship Company of New Zealand are increasing their already large and perfectly appointed fleet of steamers.

Captain Lookyer. of the Adelaide Steam* Ship Company’s Adelaide, is_ about the first sea-captain who has had his certificate suspended, and taken no notice of it, without subjecting himself to any pains and penalties. He got over the difficulty by shipping on board as second mate.' The Melbourne Marine Board has questioned the sincerity of the Adelaide Board in assisting the enforcement of their verdict, contending that for Captain Lookyer to ship on another certificate was contrary to the law of both colonies. The Victorian Board also suggested that as Captain Looker, although shipped as an inferior officer, was to all intents and purposes roaster, the Marine Board should take the matter Up under the clause of their Aet rendering any person,acting as master without a certificate, liable to a penalty of £SO. To this the Marine Board replied that there was nothing before them to show them that Captain Lookyer had acted as master. Meanwhile Captain Lookyer laughs in his sleeve, and although on the articles as second mate, 11 bosses ” the s.s. Adelaide as usual. This is the steamer that the Union Company’s Wairarapa is said to have raced on leaving Hobart on the voyage to Melbourne, about tour months ago.
