Aa apparatus for use in steering coxswainless bouts has been contrived, the simplicity of which in great measure docs away with the chance of fouls. All plans for steering bouts, in which a kind of pitahfork is fastened to the foot are objectionable, bacause the slightest movement of the foot pnts the rudder on, and one has to think which way to move the foot. This apparntui consists of two levers, the free ends of which project over the stretcher, and the other ends lire screwed ou to a crossbar behind the stretcher, the right or left foot being used according as one wishes to ge to the right or left. The rudder-lines are brought through a ring in the stem canvas, and also through two rings—one on each sido of the bsat—and then •- fastened to the levers behind the stretcher. String is used instead of wire for the lines at the rings in the side of the boat, wire being used in the remaining narts. One advantage of the system 13, that as both lines must be rather slack, gieat freedom is given to the feet. The only objection to the idea is that in a narrow boat the rudder cannot be put on very hard. The paddle wheels and engines attached of the Great Eastern—that monument of successive failures—are being taken out of her, and she will in future be propelled by twin screws. The trade she is now designed for is the conveyance of live stock from South America to London. The barque Examiuer left the Grey last Tuesday, after being detained there for sixteen days, waiting for a chance to get across the bar. The Circe was loading for here, and from telegrams received left last Thursday. Owing to the disaster to the Orient Company's Sorata she is withdrawn from the time table. The Cuzco will take her place, leaving Sydney on the lat of October, and Melbourne on the sth of October. Passengers from Lyttelton must proceed by the Te Anau, sailing on Tuesday, the 21st inst.
