Tho Lijttelton Times m its yesterday s i3sno publishes tho following withont comment :— "The following is an oxtract from Mitchell s Slaritimt ReiiUtci- for Angst 10th, under the heading ' Oamnru and Timaru : — ' Tho risk to vessels loading at Timarn is very great. They lie m tho roadstead there for a month at least, and tho fixed tariff rato of premium for insurance to tho United Kingdom is SOs per cent, the insurance companies m Now Zealand declining to accept less. The breakwater and mole at Oamaru are expected to be completed m abont six months. When they aro finished, it i 3 considered that that roadstead will no longer bo designated " dangerous." ' " The L'jttdton Times knows as well as we do that vmsols do not lie a month m tho roadstead here, bnt that, on tlio contrary, thoy got cqnal despatch to that given m Lyttelton. It does not, apparently, suit the LyUcllon Times' purposo to explain this. (By. Telegraph.)
