Captain Dillner, of the Ngahere, was able to take a walk into town yesterday, Tt will bo remembered that Captain Dinner went ashore Kick in Greyraonth some two months ago. Ho recovered sufficiently to be able to come to his home in Wellington, but on his way up on the Mn» pourika ho slipped, and, gs the result, had been laid up for some weeks.

She will arrivo in Wellington about October 7. 1 , Freights between the eastern ports .of Canada and Now Zealand, which some six months ago were fixed at extraordinarily high -rates, have eased off considerably within the last few weeks (says an exchange). Five or six months ago, the ruling rates ' ranged from about, six guineas per ton, according, to the clasß of merchandise. The latest quotations show that the minimum of last March has become the maximum of September, so that the most burdened classos of goods are' uow carried at £6 6s. per ton, and Eome classes fall as low as £3 15s. One cause of the reduction is said to lio falling off in trado between the Atlantiu ports and Australia, due to tho discouraging influences of high freight rates, a.nd tho recognition by the shipping companies of the fact that their .heavy impositions ;were -hampering importation. Another factor in the matter may be the entry into competition of a new steamship, line which is stated to have practically synchronised with the first indication that. a. relaxing of the tariff was im> pending.
