The Star of Australia is at present taking in frozen meat at Whangarci: She is due hero on October 24 to land London cargo. Subsequently Lvttelton will bo visited, and the vessel will proceed thence to Australia to load for Home. The Te Anau arrived at Auckland at 10.45 a.m. yesterday from the Cook Islands. She brought a, number of Islanders who ero about to go into traiuiug with New Zealand's Expeditionary Forces. A departure from the Bluff for 'Wellington last evening was the C. and D. liner Mimiro. She is due to-morrow, and after taking in a quantity of cheesc will sail for Sydney on Sunday to fill up for London. Continuing her journey from Liverpool the P. and S. Line's chartered steamer Orari will leave Sydney for Auckland on October 25. Wellington should be reached about November 3, and 3000 tons of cargo will be discharged here.

Latest, mail advices from Sydnoy announce that the U.S. and A. Line's chartered steamer Indian' Monarch, which left New York on October 3 for Auckland and Wellington, has, owing to the landslide in the Panama Oanal, been diverted, and is now coming via the CJape route. When it is considered that the Canal shortens the journey from New York to Wellington by some 3070 miles, it can easily be seen that the diversion of .a vessel is a serious matter to tho shipowner. As the Indian Monarch's cargo is stowed for New Zealand first, it has not yet been decided whether. she will make a call at Australia en route, but sho might possibly tranship her New Zealand cargo there. In consenuencc of tho delay, it i& not probable that the vessel will make her appearance here until about December 22.
