1 he Charles G. Bice, barque, now at Tune din, and which has part New fork cargo for this port, is a vessel of 715 tons, and was bmlt in 1880 at Portland, Maine. She was 107 days on the passage, and is in command of Captain Smart. Selsrrmg to a plan of the bar, dated 1879, the chairman of the Llnnodin Harbor Board at their last reef ting said —" Ihe comparative results, as eho wii Vy the recent Enrvey c£ the Port Chalmers bar, proved that in addition to the favorable work performed by Dredge No. 222, a gradual improvement in the bar must have been taking nloco for the last three years, as the breadth'to extent of the bar had materially diminished, and a general improvement of a foot and a half deeper water over the whole of the bar. Now 18ft 6in was the least depth at dead low water.” The barquentine Sirocco, which left Newcastle for Dunedin with a cargo of coal now ninety-six days ago and has never since been heard of, was commanded by Captain G. P. Stevens, very well known in the Now Zealand trade. He oommandedjthe brigantine Prosperity, running between Melbourne and Hokitika when the West Coast goldfislds were in the height cf their prosperity, and subsequently took charge of the brigantine Eliza Firth, and other vessels. Captain Stevens left a wife end eight children in Melbourne, who are not in good circumstances, and it is proposed to raise subscriptions to assist them in their distress.
