CABLE STEAMER SILVERTOWN. -The big cable 6teamer Silvertown has every appearance of an old-time British frigate," as, she now lies at anchor in the Auckland harbour. The Silvertown has not always been a cable steamer. She was launohed at Newcastle in 1873. Considerably' over 20 years ago she was known under the name -of Hooper, and was employed in' the rarriage of live stock from Now York to London, in the days when refrigerating machinery was' in its infancy. The vessel used to leave New York regularly with about 1200 cattle on board. She was engaged in that calling for some considerable time, and subfsquently passed into tho hands of the India Rubber Gutta Porchn, and Telegraph Works Company, Ltd., for the work of laying ocean cables, for which she is well suited. KAIKOURA LEAVES HOME. Cable advice received by the local office of the New Zealand Shipping Co. states that tho Kaikoura left London for Teneriffe, Cape Town, Hobart, Dunedin,' and the Bluff on December 5. ' She is due at Dunedin about January 18. ORARI LEAVES THE CAPE. Bound from London to New Zealand ports, the- New 'Zealand 'Shipping Co.'s steamer Orari continued her* journey from Cape Town at 1 a.m. on Dceeinbor 4. She is duo at Wellington about January 2. She subsequently proceeds to the Bluff and Port Chalmers. OTAKI'B MOVEMENTS. '-„. ■ On Wednesday, December 11, the Now Zealand Shipping Co.'s cargo carrier Otaki is scheduled to leave Wellington for Nelson to commence loading for London. She will proceed thence to Wa-itara, Wanganm, Picton, Napier, and Wellington in tho order named. This is to be her final port, and departure will be taken for London (via Monte Video. Gibraltar, and Avonmouth), about December 28. The call is being made, a-t Avonmouth for the nnrpose of landing a shipment of cheese. This is being done as there ia no F. and S. liner leaving New Zealand for Home tllis month. A telegram received from Dunodin last evening states that the Paparoa, whioh arrived to-day, from London, met with heavy southerly gales between Oape Town and Melbourne. One huge sea swept her decks, and broke over the. navigating bridge, carrying with it about 40ft., of starboard railing, and smashing one of tho starboard lifeboats. Twin babies died oh the voyage. She has 675 immigrants for Melbourne. The Tyser liner Niwaru arrived at Wellington from Liverpool, via way ports, at 2.45 p.m. on Saturday, and berthed at tho King's Wharf to dischargo cargo.

The ship wished to bo reported. "All well." The Waihora arrived at Calcutta on Decomber 7 from New Zealand, via Hewcastle and Penang.

After discharging at Guayaquil the Hilston will take in ballast and proceed to Puget Sound, where she will load a cargo, of Oregon for the United Kingdom or Continent at another good freight, reported to be 88s. per thousand feet. The. well-known barques Inverness and Inverlyon aro reported fixed to load wheat at South Australia for tha United Kingdom or Continent at 38s. 6d. per ton, so far the biggest rate paid this season. Some sailing shipowners are now asking "IDs. per ton for their vessels, and are not anxious to fix.

The Mapourika's departure from Nelson ana West Coast ports has been postponed, until noon on Wednesday. She goes on the Patent. Slip to-morrow.

On Saturday morning, however," she was signalled on to West-port, where, she ia to load coal for Wellington before going to, the New South Wales port. The New Zealand Shipping Co.'s steamer Opawa left Durban on December 4. She is on route from Home to New Zealand ports. ...
