Thishas.turnedoutto.be the case on this occasion as she is to leave Wellington for West Coast ports on Saturday. On Monday we mentioned that a company had been floated at Patea for the purpose of purchasing a steamer to trade between Patea, Nelson, and Wellington. Since then ws have learned that matters were left in the hands of Captain Gibbons, who has been endeavoring to purchase a vessel suitable for the ..trade, but without success. Tenders ■will now be called for the construction of a steamer about the size of the Egmont— not the Egmont of Panama fame, but the little 1 Egmont which was built in Dunedin some' few years ago. We understand that Captain Gibbons, who is well known in Nelson, will be placed in command of the new steamer. '
