Captain Vasta, of the Defender, returned to Lyttelton- yesterday from his visit to Hokitika. He expects hie vessel to leave the dock at the end of this week, but does not anticipate sailing from the port until about Thursday of next week. Two steamers which left Lyttelton for Wellington last night took about 450 soldiers, besides ordinary passengers. The presence of the second steamer made for very smooth running, and the vessels got away under easy conditions. The Kamona did not get away from Wellington yesterday, ns was expected. She is timed to leave there at noon to-day, and will arrive at Lyttelton to-morrow. It is expected that she will get away on the same day for Dunedin. Captain J. A. H.

Though the terry steamer Maori arrived at Lyttelton at 9.15 this morning it was not until 9.50 that she was tied up to the wharf. The police signal had been hoisted on the signal station, and after officers had gone ibnard the vessel was connected with the lb ore. In order to bring back the workmen who have been building new homes for the lighthouse-keepers at Puysegur- Point, the Government steamer Hincmoa left Bluff yesterday. It is probable that the Hinemoa will sail from Bluff again on Monday next, and will reach Wellington a week later.

In consequence, the Asuka Shosen Kaisha is planning to open a regular quarterly service to South America, and the Nippon Yusen Kaisha has also decided to send a steamer of the. 6000 ton type every alternate month. The first steamer will sail early in April, and will call nt South Africa. The Yamashita Risen Kaisha is also planning active operations to San Francisco and South American ports.
