Maid of Otago, from Oamaru.has not yet shown up. She was probably stowed away in some nook during the late bad weather, but as the winds have been favorable during the last few days she ought to have put in an appearance. The Richard and Mar}' saw nothing of her on the passage up.

Some two weeks ago we called the attention of the Telegraph authorities to a want that was greatly felt by the inhabitants of the Tort, viz., iho posting up of a weather table outside the Telegraph Office at that place. Nothing has yet been done in the matter. During the late unfavorable weather the necessity of having such a table posted up was strikingly exemplified, when masteis of coasting vessels were continually running up to the town to ascertain the state of the •weather in the other ports of New Zealand. The courteousness of the telegraph officials lia3 long been proverbial, and we hope that the present grievauce will form no exception to the rule, but will be immediately redressed.
