Tho Union Company advise that oil account of delay at Auckland the -Arahura will not leave thero until to-day for Gißborne and Napier, and consequently the intermediate trips from Napier and to Gisborne have been abandoned.

He ascribed tho cause to smokers carelessly throwing lighted matches about. Tho Ngahore left for Greymouth on Saturday morning, and will sail from that port on Tuesday night for Wellington.
