Tasmania, for the north.' The Maori arrived at London on Wednesday. Her cargo of meat -was in good condition. When the Huia was placed on the patent slip yesterday, it was found that the bottom of her keel was completely denuded of paint. No barnacles could be seen, and the plates gave one the impression that they had just been thoroughly scraped. In view of the fact that the vessel has not been cleaned for some months, this was regarded as very curious. The explanation probably is that there was a heavy fresh in the Wanganui River some little time back, when the water was thick with sand and pumice and thoroughly scoured the plates.
