Shipping Intelligence. PORT OF TIMARU.

The flagstaff at Thnaru is situated m 171 deg. 17min. QOsco. East longitude ; 44deg. 23 tnin. Sonth latitude. High Water— This day, October 15th : 12.54 a.m., and 1.21 p.m. ARRIVED. Nil. BAILED. Nil. The New Zealand Shipping Company have placed the barquo Dnnelm on tho berth at Oamaru to load wool for London. The 5.9. Kawatiri is expected from Oamaru to-morrow. About eight o'clock on Saturday morning, during a very heavy squall, the barquo Norway, lying m the roadstead, was observed to be 'drifting, and was ordered to stand to sea. Sho was all ready loaded for Capetown, bnt was waiting for her papers to come down from Christchnrch, and as theao were not expected until Saturday evening, the Harbor Master thought it better for hor to stand off and on until tho galo moderated. Sho was m sight on Saturday ovening and again yesterday morning. It seems rather extraordinary that a vessel should be delayed here something like- three days waiting for hor papers to arrive from Christchnrch. Tho brig Fawn, which was at anchor m tho roadstead, hoisted the signal yesterday afternoon about two o'clock that she wanted a tug. Steam was got np on the p. 3. Titan as soon as possible, and the Fawn was brought inside the _ Breakwater about four o'clock. She wa3 m no danger m tho roadstead, but the captain considered it advisable to como inside. Tho strong S.W. wind raised a pretty _ heavy sea, but at nine o'clock last evoniug it was comparatively calm.
