COMING OF S.S. JOHN WILLIAMS.
BUT NOT TO WELLINGTON. Owing to extensive overhaul and repairs being required in the- engine-room of the mission steamer John Williams, the vessel was unable to leave Sydney in time to fulfil her long-expected engagement to visit Wellington. Had matters fallen not differently, the steamer would probably have reached here vesterday, and would have been visited by large numbers of children from the Congregational Church Sunday schools to-day. As it was, ehe arrived at Sydney six days late, and that added to the overhaul required in the engine-room made it impossible for the steamer to get here in time to fit in with the arrangements already made for the children to visit her. The John Williams will therefore como as far as Auckland only, and from thero will sail for the Islands. That means that she will not be in Wellington for another year.
