The colliers Koraata, and Kokiri should arrive hero to-nisht with coal from Went- ' The Marine Department notifies that e. b&acon has been erected on Brothers Kock off Poraonni Point: at the entrance to Kerikej-i Hirer. Tm at Islands. Tho beacon , , which is painted red. is un iron staff surmounted by it small drum, the top of which is 20ft. abovo hif.h water. The rock on which thn l)wcon lias been placed aries 4ft. Nt L.W.0.5.. nn<t is N.N. eastern rock The otfier rock of the group, which dries tft. only, lies fi.fi.W. distant about 120 yards from tho beacon. The United Ktatcs Government is now devoting its attention to the recovery of wrecks in American waters. The Navy Department has taken over'tho bulk of the nlaiit and personnel of tie T\ A. Scott n-nd korritt Ohapman Companies. TVith the view of strengthening existing: salvia plant tho Naval Department has decided to construct a large and thoroughly equipped .vessel which will be far and. away the most, up-to-date of its class in the Weetern Hemisphere. Mr. C. J. M'Plicrson has joined f.hn sfpnuka, as second engineer, and Mr. W. Spargo has come ashjjre.

"Syren" states that e,t last the fiat has gone forth that tho masters, officers, and crews of the neutral vessels shall uot bo allowed to laud at any British port. All their business must bo transacted ou board their own ships. At least, such a, regulation is now in force at tiouth,. Wales ports, and it is.presumed that it will apply to all British ports. A ship's raft, was lound on the beach just south of the Tauugatara River, near l J iha.ma (reports tho "Taranahi iierald"). Us dimensions were: 10ft., 4ft. audlOin., and it had tlireo separate- air chambers nmdo of strong galvajiisca iron. . The raft, which to all appearances, had. not been long in the water, boro no markings of any- description. An alteration in the running of the Canterbury Shipping Company's uami and Storm has been made owing to the former veesel being bar-uound at \Vant!«inui, and the Storm being delayed by bad weather. Mr. Zoarab was advised yesterday that tho Oalin will load at Wellington to-morrow for Timaru aud Jiyttelton, ttud the visit of the Storm lias bceu cancelled. iloiigh weather along tho West Coast, particularly of tht> iSorth leland, has interfered to some extent with the outwardbound movements ol cstMinero trading to bar harbours. Wellington is affected inasmuch as six units of tho coastal fleet have been waiting iu port for two or three daya for the weather to moderate before sailing. Tho ships held up arc:-Queen of the South for Poxton; Invercargill, Kapiti, and Tainui, for Wanganui; and Kapuni, Hawera, and Waverk-y, for Patea. It is expected that llu-y will be dispatched today. : Mcssr6. Jjuvin and Co. Tvere advised yestsrday that bad weather had delayed the sailing of tho Harawa lor New Plymouth till 2 .p.m. to-day. Tho vesEcl is to leave New Plymouth for Ouchuusca. to-morrow afternoon. Mr. A. Younsr, second officer on tho Kamo, ■was yesterday relieved by Mr. H. Lucas.
