The reason ascribed by the sliijipiii'j; companies is the scarcity o[ shipping tonnage. The ! lorowlienna {'liroiiiole'.s opinion is fliai the recent rise in lieinp values is l!ie real cause, and that ship owners intend to have a share of the es'tra mom y. A worker in one of the flaxiniils near Shannon sends to tin- Chronicle some news of recent events in llie niilN. "Tliiiiij,s are not Yi'iy bright up In , re." he. says, "excejn i\ tin , in the Minaiiui .shed.s last Saturday.

Xo I'urLlier li.yht lias boon thrown on the mysterious, disappearance of Mr 10. .Marriott, hairdresser, who left i'ahiatna on the ovenin.u: of the intli inst. A closo search lias been niado of the Manyitainokji river. on the hank of which nn overcoat and cap to tlie missing man wore found. >t transjiiros that Marriott effected a change of clothing before leaving home on Sunday evening. He also took a razor and a pair of. scissors witli him. It is reported that a wliilo ago received a letter from a former employer in South Africa, offering an inducement for him to return to that country, and that Marriott had since been of a dissatisfied turn. Tt is thought that he may have taken the onrly morning train at Woodvillo on tho 14th insfc., either in the ■direction of Napier or Pnhnerstoii North. .
