Messrs. Johnston and Co. advise that the Blenheim is to sail on Saturday lor l'icton a.nd Wanganui. Tho ffairau discharged her cargo at Picton yesterday, as tho Wairau bar was in a rough state. Tho son-ices of steamers to Patea are upset this week by the 6hoaling of tho bar there. The Waverloy has been at Wellington since Sunday, and the Hawera and Kapuni have also been delayed.

The Invercargill is due on Saturday from Wnneanui to load general cargo for Lytteltoii.

The Canterbury Shipping Company's Breeze is due at Wellington on Tuesday from Lyttelton, and after discharging will load general cargo for Lytteltoii, Timavu, and Duneflin, sailing on Wednesday night.

The Mararoa from Lyttolton did not arn'vo in Wellington until 10.1-S a.m. ypsterday. owinir to a heavy fog at the TFeads. ■Mi-. T: A. H. Field, M.P., has received a, letter from the Hon. T. M. Wilford (Minister of' Marine), in reference to the request for a. light on tho Ninepins Kock made to him during his recent visit to Nelson. The letter stated:—"On the Hitbject of the erection of a light on the Nine-' pins Rock, near tho Ohetwode Islands, 1 have now to inform you that. I have brought tho matter before Cabinet; and it has been decided that provision for 8, nuitable automatic acetone-acetylene light will bo considered when the Estimates are being framed and submitted tn Parliament for nest gear's expenditure, and that if the money ie voted the work of erecting the light will be proceeded with. As regards Tory Channel, in view of the fact that there are now leading lights at the entrance and also it light on Diffenbach Point, at the junction of Tory Chan-, nol and Queen Charlotte Homid, and that there is great need for economy during the war, the question of eroding further Hghtß in this channel must stand over for the present."

A London cable message annearini; in the Australian papers enys:-' , The Press Bureau states that- the National Maritime Board (the formation.of which was mentioned on Tuesday last), has fixed the monthly rate of ray to na.vi?atini» officers on cflTgo liners and perioral trading -veafols of from WOO to 9000 tons as followe:First mate, £21 to £27 (according to certi-

ficates and length o£ service); second mate, £19 10s. to £21 10s.; third mate, £17." 'An accident ■which might have , had sen- i one results for tho Otago dock happened ! at Port Chalmers on Tuesday morning, | when a steamer collided with the piles | erected to keep 3hin9 off the projectiiig ro'clie. Tho structure overturned into the water, and caused the vessel to strike the caisson which keeps tile water out of the dock. A bis , ringbolt was torn from the caisson, which escaped further damage. Had extensive repairs to the caisson been required the use of another dock would have been needed for the purpose.
