A wire was received by vhe.l " Co. yesterday from the branch to say they hoped to despatch the Squall from Auckland via lolnga Bav next Saturday. . The s.s. Squall sailed ior Napiei at o o'clock vesterday afternoon. The Tyser Co.’s s.s. Indradevi arrived from Napier at b o clock last evenin''. She was piloted to the anchorage. by Captain Gumming as this is the master’s first visit to the port. " The Union Co.’s s.s. Tara worn arrives from Southern ports this morning and proceeds to Auckland, the Tim tea leaves the wharf at 6 a.m. (first launch) and 9 a.m. (last launch). The Union Co.’s s.s. Miowera arrives this afternoon from Sydney and Auckland and proceeds South in the evening. The first launch will leave on her arrival, and the last launch at 5 P-m. , ~ , Messrs. Cranby and Co. s auxiliary schooner, Fail-burn, 68 t‘ons v sailed for Napier at 5 p.m. yesterday. She loads timber at Napier for this port. The scow Waikonini. 60 tons. Captain J. McDermott, will complete discharging her cargo of timber at noon to-day. . , The barquentine lima sails to-day for the Thames to load timber for Sydney. . The schooner Awamu sailed at J p.m. yesterday for Auckland. The following have booked passages on the Union Co.’s s.s. Tarawera for Auckland :—Misses Crawford and Morgan; Messrs. Hill, S win ton, Teesdale, Murdock, Cox, Pearson, Harris, Diaper, D. K. Porter, Bunell, Young, T A. Prmlen, Baker, Egan, Wjtterburge, Wong Chee, Wong Iveong, Noakes, Osborne, Heron, Woods, Whitehead, A. George and J. Wilson. The scow Surprise, 79 tons, will complete the work of discharging this afternoon and will proceed to Tairoa and Mercury Bay to load timber for G isborne.

The barque Constance Craig has about 150 tons of coal yet to discharge, and will probably sail at the end of the week. Some delay was experienced owing to a scarcity of carts.

After, an absence of several weeks, spent on the slip at Wellington, the Union Company’s steamer Takapuna resumed her running to the Manukau on July sth. During the time the

vessel was- laid up her engines were thoroughly overhauled, and she was painted and renovated throughout. The saloon was reupholstered, while improvements were effected to the steerage. It was always inconvenient to load or unload the Takapuna hurriedly owing to lier hatches, but this has been remedied, the after hatch coamings, in particular, having ben considerably enlarged. Ta'ken all round, the greyhound oF the West Coast presented a most spick and span appearance when she berthed at Oncliunga. The Takapuna is temporarily in charge of Captain W. Hutchings, who was relieving on the Pnjteena, while Mr, Butler. late acting-chief steward on the Mararoa, is chief steward, vice Mr. J. Fox, resigned. According to the Shipping Gazette there is reason t'o believe that before long the Cunard Co. will be found in the market for two large steamers of the intermediate type. For

some time the talk has been of vessels like the Saxonia, but, if all accounts be true, the projected vessels are to be much bigger. It is stated •that the boats are to he as big as the Wliie Star liner Adriatic. There is nothing very surprising in this, of course, considering that both the White Star line and the HnmburgAmorican line are increasing their fleets in the same way ; but' just a little wonder may he created by the news that both of tho projected Cnnard vessels are to have turbines instead of reciprocating engines. This must he counted the best achievement to date of the Parson’s engine, because there will be nothing of the nature of an experiment in the installations. The Cunard Company in the Caronia and Carmania gave turbines and reciprocating engines the most thorough comparative test they have yet got outside of warships, and their decision in favour of the turbine for the new boat’s is, therefore, no leap in the dark. It cannot be counted, either, a bad augury of the succes; of the express steamers, the first of which, the Lusitania, is to go down the river from Clydebank on the 27th of this month. .
