The Fiji Argus says :■ —“ The subsidy to the '* S'ar of the South ” has been increased from£3o) to £4OO per month. Though it seems a large sum, ai £3OO per month subsidy, and her other receipts, the “ Star ” was not more than paying expenses. The subsidy is renewed for two mouths from Ist October.” A ehart says the Southern Cross has lately been fixed in the long-room, Cus-tom-house, showing the correct daily readings of the baiometer, for the information of mariners. The rise and fall of the barometer is carefully noted each day by Mr Brewer, the sub-collector, who maps out the same on the chart. The readings are taken from the Insurance Company’s barometer, fixed 30ft. above the sea level. It will be found very beneficial to masters of vessels requiring the information.
