The vessel took a record cargo of wool from New Zealand, ad left Wellington on the 21st December.

There appears to be some doubt in shipping circles concerning the departure of the liner Indrulema from Xew York. Some time ago a Press Association messa.ge was received stating that the vessel had cleared the American port on the 4th February. No confirmatory advice has yet been received by the local agents, but it is assumed that the vessel has left -New York. She will come via Melbourne, Sydney, and P.risbane, and should make her appearance here about the middle of April. The liner Waimate sailed from St. John last Friday for Adelaide, Melbourne. Sydney, and four principal New Zealand ports. She should reach Wellington itbont the 22nd April. •The New Zealand Shipping Company’s chartered steamer Arrino arrived at Auckland from Townsville last Thursday morning and started Homeward loading. She left Calmouth, England, on November 21 with ;:uo tons of dynamite for Australian ports in addition to general cargo. She reached Brisbane, via the Capo of flood Hope, and discharged the major part of her explosives by January PI. Five days’ bad Weather were experienced after leaving the Cape. After calling at Rockhampton she left Townsville i'ii February 3 I'm - Auckland. The Vessel will proceed from Auckland to l.yUelton and Fluff to complete her Cargo for London.

Much has been heard concerning the row F. and S. liner Devon, wliieli has been built I" replace [be old Devon, wrecked at Wellington Heads some years ago, and from all accounts the vessel well merits all the praise bestowed on if. The following parcigrah appeared in the Sydney Shipping List under date Rth February--"l’aptaiii Robertson has every reason to be proud of his nov command, tiie s.s. Devon, the latest addition to the F. and S. IF-et, which reached Sydney yesterday from Liverpool. Internally stie at once gives the impression of being a powerful, high-class cargo carried, the cruiser stern setting off the business like appearance, whilst a brief glance around on board, below, and above decks confirms the glowing accounts and descriptions that reached Australia before the vessel arrived, Sh<- is, as lias been previously stated, essentially ;t cargo carrier, but it is evident Unit no exiicn.se has been spared in her construction." The vessel left Sydney on Saturday afternoon for Tokomani Pay, Gisborne, Napier, and Wellington, and her arrival at Wellington about the 2S(h inst. is sure to looked forward to with a great deal of interest.
