The steamer Devon, which is on her maiden voyage from Liverpool to N'cw Zealand, has a history. She was built at Dunkirk (France) and when war broke out, was towed out of harbor to avoid risk of being taken by the Germans when they seemed likely to break through a year ago. The Devon displays proudly in the chief saloon a chunk of a 17iu shell that burst near her just as she was hurried out of the building yard in a half-clad state. The presence of oversea sailing vessels in port at Auckland at present (says the New Zealand Herald) indicates that owners of these craft are not slow to take advantage of the shortage of steamers. The four-masted schooner Alert, which brought a large cargo of lumber from Pugct Sound, is discharging, the barque Manunui is putting out general cargo from Newcastle, the barque Active is loading timber for Sydney, while the barquentine Lindstol is to berth, to complete loading for Sydney. This small fleet of sailers wilt be added to by the baque Louisa Craig, which is due from Melbourne within the next day or so. The Mapourika, which has been lying in the stream at Wellington for some time, will be recommissioned shortly in o*lcr to take up the Arahura's running in the Wellington-Picton-Xelson-Wcst Coast service. Tiie Arab lira is to be engaged for some time on the Xapier-Gisborne-Aueklaml run.
