The New Zealand Shipping Company announce that they have made arrangements for monthly steam communication with Home, and have contracted for the building of a line of steamers of 4000 tons gross register each, of steel, fitted with refrigerators. Pending the completion of their own steamers, they are chartering suitable vessels to begin the running at once. The first will leave London, for Lyttelton direct, on 20th January. She is the British King, of 3559 tons register, built by Messrs Harland Wolff, builders of the White Star liners, and of the P. and O. Company's most recent addition, the Shannon.

The following steamers of the Orient Company have since the inauguration of tliat line, met with accidents, and in one or two case, very nearly completed disaster The Garrone went ashore on the Red Sea, and wae with difficulty got off; the Lusitania got on the Red Sea, and was with difficulty got off) the Lusitania got on the reefs near Sydney Heads ; the Sorata got on the reefs at Adelaide, and nearly became a total wreck ; while the Austral has foundered in Sydney harbor. The Cuzco has also had a mishap, but of a very slight character. n

“One of the Team,” writing to the Australasian on the great cricket match case of alleged "sharp practice” which occurred while Jones and Murdoch were at the wickets : —"Jones and Murdoch were now together, and by sound play they sent 110 up. Just afterward), Murdoch hit A. G. Steel to short-leg and ran a single. Lyttelton, the wicketkeeper, followed the ball, and threw it at Peate, who was at the wicket. Peate missed the ball, and W. G. Grace picked it up close to the wicket, and held it for two or three seconds. Jones hereupon walked out of his ground, and patted down a defect in the pitch. No sooner had Jones left his crease than VV. G., ball in hand, walked up to the wicket, and taking off the bails, appealed, and Thoms, the umpire, it appears, said, ‘ If you claim it, sir, it is out.’ Jones, of course, had to walk to the pavilion, and so displeased were many of the lookerson st W. G.’s action that they groaned, and hissed him not only at this time but when he wa r eturning to the pavillion at the completion of our innings. In strict cricket no doubt Jones was out, but I do not think it redounds much to any man’s credit to endeavour to win a match by resorting to what might not inaptly be termed sharp practice.”
