Somo very severe weather waa experienced by tho Shaw, Savil-1 and Albion Company's ohartcrad Gtca.mcr Zcalamlic while steaming throKßh tho Southern O«;nn on Hie passage from Londan to New Zealand. The vessel resumed her voyage from Cape Town on, October 24, and almost immediately ran into bnd weather. A euccession of heavy f,-a!e3 continued for nearly a week, and tho steamer travelled only about 265 miles a day. Huso eoas swept her docks, and lwavy rain foil. It Is vumoured that the Zeclandic, which arrived at Wellington yesterday, will probably make only two more voyages from London to New Zealand before returning' to the builders' yards to bo reconstructed into a Tegular passenger steamer for the Australian passenger eorvkc, for which she woe originally intended. The Zealaoidio is at tho present time one of the finest immigrant ships trad.ijiE to the Dominicf., and when the alterations which axe contemplated are cairisd out she should prove a, very popular ship., Captain Brec-n has associated with him tho following officers -.—Chief, Mr. W.

Ferguson f«cond, and Mr. J. Wilson bo : }-srin.aker, while Mr. A. Hattrick is steward-in-chai'gc. MAUNGANUI LEjVVES SYDNEY. At midnight on Saturday the Union Com : pany's intercolonial Eteamer Maunganui cleared Sydney for Wellington. A delay in eailing was occasioned by the large quantity of cargo which had to be ehipped at the Now South Wales port. The number of passengers for Wellington by the Maunganui is 143 Ealoon and 104 Btc-crage. v SAN FRANCISCO SEEVIOE.

Mr. Lang, third -engineer of the steamer Ta-viuni, nrat with an accident on Tuesday evening while the veseel was in tlte Duller roadstead. He was working the windlass, weighing ths anchor, and in "the darkness got his right kan'cl' into the windlass gear, with tho result that tho hand was badly damaged, one fmscr b?au» cut off.

It has been decided that the Kaiapoi will complete discharge ct this port. She is expected to clear for Westport' to-day to load for Melbourne and Sydney. In consequence of a. largo number of carjro vessels .boinj* converted into oilcarriere, members of Lloyd's arc seriously considering tho additional risks that aro involved. It is argued that, apart from tho obvious fire risk, the oil tonka may bo a source of .damage to the hullii a-iid superetruoture of ships not originally intended for that trade. So far the matter has only been discussed informally; but it is thought that higher insurance rates will be imposed in respect of- converted oilttsakera. The Union Company's collier Kuiow is expected to leave Napier for Newcastle, via Wellington, on Friday. A call .will bo made here on Saturday for bunker coal, and the vessel is expected to continue her journey the eaine day.
