' ; ;; YesierdaS'ihofhJlig the large boiler for the s.s. Taranaki wfta got, on board , that vessel with the greatest'ease. ' If was first lifted from the ground by means of screw jacks placed on timber about 3ft. Irom the ground; then a kind of lannchway as it may be termed was constructed, which being thickly coated with tallow, the boiler was let slide , down on' to the 'vessel At present it stands on a pile of wooden blocks, which are gradually being taken away, and thus It is lowered down into the bed prepared for it. Mr. E. Seager, engineer and manager for Mr.; E. W. Mills, superintended the work of placing the boiler, which weighs 25 tons, on board. ' The engines are also now being fitted "up in her, and the alterations to the" cabin, decks, Ac., are all pushing on rapidly to completion. -‘ -' - The steamer Hinemoa did not come off the Patent Slip yesterday.. .She Will be launched on this morning’s tide. • The brig Robin Hood will then be taken np to have her bottom recoppered and to otherwise give that serviceable craft an overhaul. The ship Waikato was berthed at-the wharf yes-' terday. She will now commence to load for London. The' Government lighthouse steamer Stella left Adelaide for this port on Saturday last, and may' therefore be expected to arrive here on Monday. The E.M. steamer Australia arrived here yesterday at 5.30 a.m. from PortCLalmers and Lyttelton, making the run from the latter port in thirteen and a quarter hours. On coming up to the wharf, and when passing the ship Waikato, lying at anchor, a sudden shift of wind caused the latter vessel to swing down upon the mail steamer, and both collided; the latter vessel having stern way on at the time. The damage done was of a trifling nature, consisting of a portion of the Australia’s rail being carried away and a gig hanging: over the side of the Waikato being stove in: £5 will cover the whole of the damage. We are indebted to the purser, Mr. Grabame, for flies and the following: report of the Australia’s run up the coast:—Left her anchorage Port Gbalmers at 2.30 p.m. on the 18th; at 4.7 p.m. discharged pilot at Otago Heads.

Light winds were met with on the run up from Lyttelton. She sailed again tor Napier, Auckland, Kahdavau, Honolulu, and San Francisco at 2.30 p.m. - . - The change of wind to the south brought the Jessie Readman in from Dnnedln yesterday. She will be, as we have before stated,.placed on the berth in this port, to load for London, by Messrs. Murray, C’pmmoH.’and Co. She left Port Chalmers on Saturday? afternoon: last r had fine weather with head winds tUI yesterday morning early, when off Amur! Bluff, where the southerly wind found her; against which she drove into port. She made the run from’Cape Campbell to the Heads in a little oyer three hours. The steamer Napier will sail for Poxton to-day at noonJ 1 . . , - - The ship Waimea landed the last of her cargo on the wharf yesterday. The whole of it has came out of her in first-rate style. Bulk was broken yesterday morning in the threemasted schooner May, and 1 during the day some 40 tons cargo was turned out in excellent condition.

The shallowest pari, is where Karori stream bears N. £ and Karorl Rock just on with TorawUi. The tides set strongly over this bank, causing heavy rippllngs. particularly with the flood, which causes an appearance similar to a shallowly-covered reef. ‘ Lu>fa liooiC.—This is a dangerous sunken rock discovered by Captain Fairchild. It is small in size, andhas only 6ft. of water on It allow water springs,,with deep water all round.lt bears from 1 Karori KOck N. -67 deg. AV., distant five-sixths of b. mile, and from Macmanaman's house 8.; 70deg. W.distant froni; nearest beach half-a-mlle. It lies I|. cables outside of a lino from Karori Rock to Tcrawith Owing to a strong flood.tide which seta partly on the shore between Sinclair Head ; and Terawiti, vessels from the westward bound to Wellington should bi/careful against being carried inshore of their course. . Shoal/ »oW JJArino Hka».—This shoal lies to the north and westward of Raring- Head. 'lt Is about 1 cable in width by b In length, running parallel with the shore. It has from 7 to H fathoms on it at low-

water springs. The shallowest part bears from Baring HeadN. 53deg. W., distant 2J cables. It breaks in heavy weather. , To clear It, keepPencarrow Llght N; by W.; until Baring Head is one point open of Taourakira Head. ' ‘ -Y"Boat Passage off Jackson’s Head.—Tbo master of the steamer Hawea having reported that she struck when drawing 14ft. of Water one-third across from the main in the inner passage. Captain'Fairchild, of the Luna, sounded it, and found the least water 4 fathoms, with very uneven bottom. This passage is therefore not recommended for vessels, drawing -over 12ft.- "" ’
