The saloon is to be enlarged greatly, and the passenger accommodation increased so as almost to equal that of any of the company’s other steamers. A new event, says the “Otago Daily Times of the 25th, in connection with the Wellington s visit this time Is the fact of her making Dunedin the terminus of her trip. The satitactory results ensuing upon the experiments that have been made by the steamer Ladybird, to test the capabilities of the Upper Harbor, determined the agent. Mr U. B. Monbman, under advice from head quarters, to make trial with the Wellington. In accordance with this resolve, the Wellington, after waiting an hour or two at the port for tide, and landing passengers and a few packages of cargo, left the port yesterday afternoon on the last of the flood tide, and although she was drawing lift 6in of water, she reached the Upper Harbor without difficulty, and moored for the first time at Rattray street Wharf. Pilot Louden took her up. The event created no little excitement, for it cast a pbadow of waUflf event* of greater consequence,
