The shortago was again in evidence, on Tuesday, and resulted in. a delay.to several of the Union Company's steamers. Of the colliers in port, the only one to get-away was the Kurow, which had been in port for five days, including Sunday. After, having delivered 850 tons of coal to H.M.S. Encounter in the stream, the Kaituna had : a ■ similar ' auantity to discharge' at the wharf, but was compelled to lie idle at the Taranaki Street Wharf, since it was useless to take her round to tho Railway Wharf, where no trncke were available. The Waitemata i and tho Poherua were also delayed.'
