The Ringarooma left Melbourne for the Bluff with the Suez mail on Tuesday. The Luna arrived at Wellington from Picton at 2 a.m. to-day.

The cutter Dauntless arrived from West Wanganui yesterday, after a most successful trip. She landed her cargo safely there, but could not obtain a load of coal on account of cone being ready, and so she called at the Tata Islands for a load of limestone. The master reports seeing a barque running into Totaranui on Wednesday, the wind then blowing from the westward. It is understood (says the Wanganui Herald) that the Government have determined to sell the Stella, making the Hinemoa do the whole of the Lighthouse work, as well as perform the ordinary Government services. Public tenders for her will probably be called in a short time. After the recent cyclone in the Gulf of Mexico, the beach near Galveston, Texas, was strewn with human bones washed up by the waves, and supposed to have been the remains of the persons lost with the City of Waco. Captian Coppin has succeded in getting one chain passed round the Vanguard, and is sanguine about rasiing her, through, owing to official dilatoriness, he can do nothing further untill March or April. The Fiji Argns says :— During the cruise of the " Marion Renny" a large shark was caught and hauled on board. As he lay on his back on the ship's deck, a Solomon man came near him, and somehow managed to put bis hand near the shark's mouth, who made a snap, and bit the poor fellow's hand off. The man was doctored up and recovered, but if sharks are so unpleasant out of water, what must they be in it, if some unfortunate swimmer was close handy.
