special train was put on at Dunedin on Thursday to convey the direct steamship Uimutaka's mails to Christchurch, which arrived at that city at half-past four on Friday morning.

Only two steamers leave Wellington regularly for Auckland. These, says°the Wellington correspondent of the Evening Bell, are on succeeding days, so that there are several days without the means of communication, excepting by telegraph; When the Manawatu Railway is completed, by the end of the year, through communication will be open with New Plymouth by railway. It is said the journey will be done in about 22 hours, and if a fast boat is put on between New Plymouth and the Manukau, the time between Wellington and Auckland will not exceed 30 hours of a sea voyage. Mr J. F. Wilson, of Hall and Wilson, dentists, will arrive in Kumara about Monday next, the 23rd inst., and will remain for four days only.
