Work was impeded, and the air filled with dust, but we are glad to say there are no casualties to report. The schooner Hannah Barrett sailed for Wellington yesterday afternoon. The ship Laugstone, Captain Croker, will complete her loading this morning, and will be towed ont into the stream, weather permitting. She will clear the Customs this afternoon, and if possible, sail to-night. The “ Otago Times” says: Cajttain Robert Evans, the commander of tho brig Raymond, is evidently thoroughly satisfied with Port Chalmers and the treatment ho has received during his sojourn there. As a proof of this it is only necessary to lay before our readers the following letter, sent by Captain Evans to Mr C. de Longnevillo Graham, onr shipping reporter : —“ Brig Raymond, Port Chalmers, 9th November, 1878.—Dear sir,—As I am now leaving the port after a long stay of six weeks, I take the opportunity of sending yon a few lines by the pilot, thanking you for your kindness and courtesy. I can only say that i have been agreeably surprised at tho way I have been treated, as from the character given to Dnuedin by the people up North, I looked upon having to hear up for your port as a fresh calamity. Such, however, it has not proved to us. From my experience. I would recommend any shipmaster, situated as I was, to ran for your port in preference to the Northern ones, as, from what I know of them, I am sure the same forbearance, with regard to remission of dues, would not be accorded, or the same assistance given. I shall certainly do my best to contradict tho false reports circulated about Port Chalmers, and if my testimony could be made any use of for tho purpose, you are at liberty to make use of it. Again thanking yon, and wishing yon every success, I remain, yonrs faithfully, Robert Evans.” SHIPPING TELEGRAMS. Wellington. November 15.
