KUAPEHTT AT MONTE VIDEO. ," Cable advice has.been received' by, tho local office of tho Union Company, whloh stated that arrived at Monte Vtrtcoon January 30. Tho veceel left ■Wellington for London on January 9, and is due:at her destination on or about February. 20.

;■ TEE, STAB OF INDIA. Wenterly weather at Wonganul bos delayed tho Star of Intlla's loading operations at that port. In consequence of this tho liner will 1 not arrive at Wellington; until thisevcning or to-morrow morning. .Departure will be taken for . London on Tuesday of next week.

FUNNEL OF MANY COLOURS. ■ Tho.steamer Myra Foil, which has been engaged in the Australian coastal trade since .she was built in the year '1907, left Sydney on January 24 for the United Kingdom or Continent, with: 54,920 bags of whoat,' shipped by Messrs. J. Darling arid Son. No doubt tho Myra Fell will bo greatly missed from .the coastal .service, as she |iad earned fot! herself quite a reputation owing to the many, times her funnel had boon painted, not that the funnel : wanted painting, but it waa painted to suit the 'companies'sin was under charter to at different periods (tho last being the Union Company), and it is rather significant that.' soon after the Myra Fell arrived at Sydney she had Messrs. W. .Scott Foil and Co.'s bright colours painted on her funnel, and now she left port with her hull aud funnel painted black. . ■ ', '.v . ■ : — ; . TITANIA FOB A lIULK. . According to tho "Sydney Shipping List," the four-masted barouenline Titonla has been taken over by Captain F. Holm, who has purchased her on behalf of the Paparoa Coal Company of New Zealand. v:ho will convert- her into a. hulk. The Titnnia is now loading at Newcastle for Wellington, and will probably leave the northern oort in - a few days on liar last voyage. It rooms rather strange that such a modern vessel like the Titania, built in 1895, should in these days of bis freights bo Gold for a hulk; but tho ways of eomo shipowners a.ro hard to understand. COAL REPLACES . OIL. Advices received from Suva state that the steamer. Ikala, bound' from Astoria to Melbourne, laden with lumber, which left Suva on January 3, after having undergone cxtensivo repairs to 1 her boilers,- for which purpose sho made that port, returned to Suva, again on Sunday, January 12. alter only having, proceodod 'about 600 miles ,on hor voyage. The captain reports that tho oil fuel would not burn satisfactorily, rendering it neco-sary for him to put back for coal to take the ship to Melbourne instead of oil Tnel. Tho Qrst time ■ tho Iltnla put Into Suva soveral combustion ohamber stays wero renewed, and.somo seams, dosed .up, tho latter operation requiring a good denl of rcrivotting of the boiler plates. This was probably the largest Job of its kind yet undertaken in Suva, and it woo fortunate that a, competent engineering firm is in Suva to do this class of work, which was carried out to tho requirements of Lloyd's agent.
