The shipping trade of Stewart's Island is eteudily increasing. At Half-moon Bay two cotters are in course of construction. The one, which is a neat smart-looking craft, will be ready for launching in a few days. In the first instance, it will be chiefly engaged in the fish and oyster trade. The other'craft has just been commenced. Tho s earner Miiori, < n hor from Duuedin to Lyttdt-n, on the 3rd instant, had a narrow escape. All the deck cargo had to be thrown overoour I, and the steamer put into Akaroa wat*i-log(»ed.

When the ship Celoeno, which amV«rl in Wellington on Saturday last, was ioa^i. M - iu London, two pa kages were sent on board described as lamps, but which pioved on exmiination t<« contain a petroleum spirit, of a highly dangerous and destructive nature. The ship era we e brought before a mugi*tr.tte ana fined £ 0 and costs, the latter remarking that, had the stuff been shipped and stowed awfty.uridV hutches in a close atmosphere, every soul on hoard the vessel would have been virtually on si volcano.
