While steaming past the Island ol Ascensfaa on the voyage to New Zealand, the stewset Kaipara grazed a coral pateh at a spot where there is supposed to be oo* hundred fathoms of Water. As there was no sign of Mage the steamer came 1 on. A surrey was made to4ay by Mraars Morrison, Marine Surveyor tor V& ifj* 1 *' ® alker - In8 P«It was found that the vessel had grazed the coral for about 20 feet mids-hip, but beyond tlie crackmr of toe cement Hiring in the hull for a few feet the damage was very trifling.

The Takapuaa sailed from Wellington at 5.10 p.m. yesterday for New Plymouth. . Tlie Minister for Railways, replying to a question whether he will further accelerate the speed of the mail tram from New Plymouth to Wellington, even to the extent of shortening the time,from departure to arrival by an hour, stated that the journey time taken by the mail trans tetween New Plymouth - and Wellington has already been reduoed as much as it £ possible to do without cutting out a very considerable number ot Hie stopping plies en route, and this step would not commend itself to the residents of tbc various localities at which tie mail trains now stop. Applications are constantly received for increasing, rattier than diminismg, the number of stopping places of express trains. The speed of the mail train between Wellington and New Plymouth is SIS I Tt P wheD lost through stoppage is eliminated. EXPECTED ARRIVALS AT WEI, LINOTON.
