Lino advise that tho Port Philip loft New Tork on September 25 for New Zealand ports, and will then go on to Australia. She will bo duo here early in November; but no information is availablo yet as to what! port 6ho will call at flrßt. A PECULIAR POSITION. , English advices contain particulars of a Tathcr interesting point in connection with tho loss of a noutral steamer.' The underwriters concerned worked on tho allrisk policy, and contend that she was not lost by a, marino peril, whilo tho war risk underwriters maintained that tho loss was occasioned by an ordinary marino , mishap. It , appears that the steamer'was bound to a French port in the Mediterranean with contraband, when' the crow heard »■ "heavy noise" and saw oil floating on,the water. Tho steamer herself sank within 25 minutes. It id probable that the steamer collided with an enemy submarine which was waiting ■to sink her, so that had sho not, sunk the submoirine she would have been torpedoed. Anyhow the .war, .risk, under-, writers maintain that the'stcaiqcr was 1 sunk, by-, collision in the- ordinary course of her Voyage, and not. as a Tosult ;of. warlike action. ... ~' AUSTRALIA'S FLEET.
