The New Zealand Shipping Company's ship Waitangi was towed clear of the Heads yesterday afternoon, and sailed for London. She left the port in splendid order, and reflects great credit on her excellent chief officer, Mr Bungard, who we hope soon to hear will be promoted to a command of one of the Company's ships. The Waitangi took the following cargo:
388 bales wool £7760 41 bales sheepskins 820 27 bales rabbitskins 611 2 bales basils 20 6862 bags wheat 6862 5665 bags oats 5655 1764 bags flour 3528 17 pkgs sundries 223 Total: £25,479
The British ship Jacob Stamler and the Norwegian ship
Zorka were burnt in New York Lower Bay recently.
The chief items of cargo by the British Queen, which sailed from

9823 sacks wheat, 611 casks tallow, 934 sacks beans, 1623 bales wool, 1303 cases
meats, 1486 sacks grass seed, 18_8 sacks oats.
The brigantine Jasper sailed on Saturday for Lyttelton.
Discharging the Dunedin portion of her cargo of sugar has been marked with great
despatch, and, as usual with that vessel, it has turned out in excellent
condition, although the passage from the Mauritius was a severe one.
Forty-one British and foreign actual shipwrecks were reported during the week
ending 7th April, making a total of 645 for the present year, or an increase of
205 as compared with the corresponding period of last year, the increase for the
week being 13. British-owned vessels numbered 24. Eight were steamers, with an
aggregate tonnage of 4327 tons, seven being British steamers, with a tonnage of
4155 tons. Total tonnage lost for the week, 15,671 tons. Total number of lives
lost and missing, 88.
During the year 1882 there were built in 19 ports of the United Kingdom, ships
having an aggregate tonnage of 1,200,000- an increase of 20 per cent. The
tendency is toward the construction of larger vessels than heretofore, the
average now being 1347 tons. The largest vessel built was of 7500 tons burden.
The cost of building is now 15 per cent greater than in 1880 and 1881, owing to
the augmented prices of iron and steel. But to offset this is the great increase
in the commerce of the world, especially in the transportation of new products.
The modern form of steamers' bows, perpendicular, and without a bowsprit, is
proved to add to the risk of damage in cases of collision, and many English
underwriters are so impressed with this that they are taking into consideration
the desirability of making differential rates between these steamers and those
having the former and far more sightly overhanging bow and bowsprit.

400 tons per hour. She measures 800 tons, and has 100 horse-power nominal.
Captain Stannard, of the barquentine Jasper, of the C.W._ line of
this port, pays the Dunedin Harbour Board the compliment of having effected such
improvements in the channel between the Port and Dunedin that the Jasper,
which less than 2 months since was compelled to lighter ashore part of her cargo
at Port Chalmers, so as to reduce her draught to 10 ft before she could get up
to Dunedin, was enabled on her last visit, the other day, to go up direct to
Dunedin from sea with her full cargo, and drawing 13 ft 6ins, and this, says
Captain Stannard with emphasis, at little better than half tide, to the
astonishment and chagrin of the Port people.- Press.
