On Friday last the liner Kia Ora left New Plymouth with one of the largest consignments of frozen produce that has been taken from the Taranalu Farmers' Meat Freezing Works. The cargo was as follows:—2o4s carcases lamb, 4195 carcases mutton, 3764 quarters beef, 304 casks tallow, 10 casks pelts, 1200 cases preserved meats, 444 boxes tripe, 103 boxes o.\ kidneys, 44 crates sheep kidneys, 64 boxes,ox hides, 101 bodies frozen veal. .

FIRE ON THE WARWICKSHIRE.

Shortly' before she left Liverpool on net or^the Bibby liner Warwickshire (reports Sydney Shipping List). . The outbreak was discovered near the starboard ventilator in No. 5 hold. Investigation showed that a lot of combustible material had apparently been arranged with the object of ignition. After the fire had been extinguished a can was found containing charred debris consisting apparently of wood shavings, particles ot paint, and sacking. A few feet away was a lot of bamboo, to which apparently "a trail had been laid. There is no known motive for the deed. Had the ship been seriously damaged it would have meant that some thousands of Australian troops, who have fought so splendidly in the war, would have had their return home further delayed. Messrs. Bibby offered a reward of £100 ' which would lead to ; the conviction of the person or persons concerned, but at the time the mail left no information had been received by them. At the time of the fire the Warwickshire was undergoing repairs consequent upon being hit by a torpedo.

BIG SAILERS AT SYDNEY.

With the arrival of the six-masted barquentine E. R. Sterling and tho four-masted barque Almendral at Sydney come days ago, no moro big sailing vessels are expected at Sydney for some considerable time, and judging by the present state of affairs,! and the great number of new steamers now coming to Australia, It ts very probable that never again will there be so many large sailing vessels coming to Sydney as were hero last year. During last year no less than fifteen large four-masted barques arrived at Sydney, including some ot the finest sailers afloat .(says Sydney Shipping List). The world's greatest four-master (tn& Daylight), 3655 tons register, was amongst the number at Sydney, then the Bcllands, 2968 tons, Sonveraln, 2915 tons, Olivebank, 2647 tons, Steinsmid, 2476 tons, Sydnaes, 2201 tons, and Archibald Russell. 2181 tons. In the threemasted vessels, some'of the biggest full-rigged ships were also in Sydney, including the Bragdo of 2089 tons register, now the largest sailer of her class, the Claverdon, 2324 tons, Dunsyre, 2056 tons, Wiscombe Park, 2075 tons, and others. Amongst the many three-miuted barques at Sydney last year were the Pierro Antoine, 2030 tons Bretagne, 1950 tons, Star of Holland, 1987 tons, ai.d several over 1600 tons register. Then, again, nearly all the big five-masted schooner* that nave- been built on the Pacific Wengeiar.d, 1942 tons, fcorsnaes, 1942 tons.'Falketind, 1313 tons, Thistle, 1462 tons, George E.
