From Newcastle we learn that there is a scarcity of shipping, in consequence of the large number of vessels loading at New Zealand and Australian ports with grain. Hitherto vesssls whioh brought out cargoes from Great Britain, proceeded to Newcastle Jn search of freight to some Eastern port or America, but the export of graiu being very _farge this year from the colonies, and the freights offerered very high, it pays owners of vessels better to load foe Home than to take coal from Newcastle. J The passage of tho Orient liucr Sorata has lieen the quickestrun on record between ! London and Melbourne. The duration of the voyage was 40 days 3£ hours, which includes 55 hours detention at various ports of call ; the actual time at sea was 37 days 20 hours. This beats- the Lusitania's famous passage by many hours. —. ■ I ',» UIHIH.III.IIIHL, ■_»—-_--—_-» «___»»i»_-»_----___---»_-i
