Cabled advice received by the local ®ents of the New Zealand Shipping Co. states that R.M.S. Ruapehu left London m July 6 for Wellington. Instead of joming out by the usual route, via Capetown and Hobart, the vessel is making a voyage through the Suez Canal, calling at Marseilles and Colombo, and then Hobart. She is due at Wellington about August 22. Advices to hand state that the New Zealand Shipping Company's steamer Waimate, bound .from Montreal to Auckland and Wellington, put into St. Vincent at 6 a.m. on June IS, and left again aine hours later. She is due at Welling;on about July 24. An Australian ex:hange states that it is presumed that the Waimate put into St. Vincent to effect slight repairs to her machinery. Once again the Union Company’s turbine steamer Maheno has demonstrated that she is capable of showing a good turn of speed, as evinced by her early arrival at Sydney from Auckland on Fri3ay. The Maheno cleared Auckland at 6 p.m. on Monday week, and arrived at Sydney at 5 a.m. last Friday, covering die distance between the two ports—l2Sl miles —in 3 days 11 hours, which works out at an average of 15 knots an hour.

A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS. SYDNEY. July 13. Received 13, 9.30 p.m. The barque Drummuir has arrived at .41 go Bay. She was dismasted in a gale on June 5 and came along under jury rig- When off Sydney she collided with ihe tug Heroine, severely damaging her. THE TAKAPUNA. DUNEDIN. July 13. The Corinna, with the disabled Taka;una in tow. arrived last night from Wellington, after an uneventful passage. The Takapuna was under her own steam, and no doubt helped the progress to some extent : but she was handicapped by the state of her propeller, which had only one blade on it. Repairs will probably include a new stern frame. THE WEATHER. WELLINGTON. July 13. Weather summary and forecast; There has been little movement of the barometer ; but. except in northern and southernmost districts, the weather has been fair and the . winds moderate, chiefly from the westward. Rain has fallen in southern districts, and the weather has been very squally in Foveaux Strait. Present indications are for unsettled weather and the development of a southerly storm, which may prove of considerable intensity. A change may not take place for about 3S hours ; but conditions are now somewhat ominous. Moderate to strong westerly winds and changeable weather, with a fall in the barometer, will probably precede a rapid rise and rain in most parts of the country, with snow on the higher levels. , NEW ZEALAND SHIPPING CO.
