{(Pei Ptess Association.) Wellington, last night,
The Now Zealand Bbippiog Company has addressed a letter to the Harbor Board, stating that as the latter appea-s to be under the impression that Wellington is the cheapest port in the oolony for ship* ping, they desire to retnoya that idea from their minds, by giving a statement of ihe [ charges payable for the same services and the same amount of oirgo on the present voyages of the Turakina and Kaipara. These are give Dos follows ; —Tu.akioa : Wellington £331, Aockland £209, Lyitelloo £2lB, Dunedin £240. Kaipara: Wellington £268, Auokland £lB-7, Lyttelton £196, Dnnedin £2lO. The exocss apparently accounted for by the her bor improvement rate being a charge against the ships, inetsad o f goods, as else where, aod because at other ports the obarges for a second visit on tbe same voyage ate reduced. o;her points of dfferenca are auctioned wbioh tail ogtin t Wellington, and a table is attached, show iDg the percentage of harbor revenue contributed by the Bhip is only three and eight respectively at Sydney and Melbourne, where&s it runs to fifey-five in Wellington,
