NGATORO AND NGAHERE.

Lyttelton this we ck for Wellington and it is probable that at the latter port she will load for New Plymouth. CUNARD LINE AND HOBART. Coming events aro said to cast their shadows bcforci them, says the Hobart Mercury. There is considerable speculation in-shipping and commercial circles just now regarding the intentions of tho Cunard Lino and its Australasian service. For many months past cargo vessels of this line have been coming to Australia, and a few days ago one of tho company’s smaller steamers left Australia witli passengers for tho first time. What, however, is causing interest in Hobart, is tho fact that the company is erecting four-storeyed offices at "Wellington, New Zealand, and has appointed Messrs. Macfarlanc Bros, and Company, Hobart, agents for Tasmania. No official indication has been received ns to the company’s intentions, and it is not known whether its vessels will proceed to New Zealand via the Cape; but for some time past officers ot oversea steamers calling at Hobart have said it was common talk that Hobart would bo included iu the ports of call. Cargo steamers of this line have already visited Hobart. It is thought probable that the company’s vessels may use the Cape route to New Zealand, especially cater for the Australian passenger trade, and, following the example of the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company and New Zealand Shipping Company, for the last 36 years, make Hobart the transhipping port for Australia.
