The disabled steamer Pukaki, of* the Union Company's fleet, which we reported last week as having broken her shaft oft' tho North Cape, arrived here this morning from Bnasel , , in tow of the s.s. Talutie, for repairs. The two steamers took 19 hours on tho passage down from the Bay of Islands. This afternoon the Pukaki went into tho Auckland Graving Dock for repairs. A new shaft for her will arrive here from Dunedin on Monday noxb by the s.s. Manapouri, and will at once bo fitted into her, when she will resume her voyage to VVestporc. While tha steamer was drifting about under sail near the North Capo last week thocrewcaught threo fine albatrosaes, which are alive and on board still.

It has been remarked amongst shipping peoole and the "weather-wise" that, though very rough weather is reported as having prevailed on the Northern coast for'the last, two or three days, blowing at times hard from tho south-east and east, veb there has been nothing more than" a very light breeze in Auckland. The 11. M.s. Alamoda, on arrival here from Sau Francisco this morning, reported having encountered a severe easterly and south-easterly gale a couple of days ago off the Keniiadeo Islands, with very rough sea, and that she held this bad weather till closo into port. This bad weather appears to be tho same oale which was forecast a few days ago by Air Wragge, the Queensland Government meteorologist, as passing over in an easterly direction from Australia past the North Cape of Now Zealand.

j,lr W. H. Webbe's lifty-iirsb concert at gfc James's Hall last evening waa a great Buccees, the building being crowded to its utmost capacity. The programme, which contained no loss than twenty-two items, wa9 carried out to the letter. Upwards of thirty of Mr Webbe's pupils, nearly ail member* of the piano quartette classes, contributed most of the items, which included jome extremely difficult selections. Piano quartettes were preformed withoub having been rehearsed, and one piece arranged for or<*an and threo pianos was played for the first time as a practical test of the manner in which tho pupils of the piano quartette classes are taught to play music correctly at sight. -Several pieces arranged for the occasion by Mr Wobbes were effectively rendered on four pianos and organ. One of tho pupih who possessed a charming voice (a young lady of only eleven years of age) sang very prettily Bishop's beautiful song "Bid me Discourse." The other vocal items were contributed by Mrs Kilgour, Mrs Cooper, Mrs Maxwell, Misses Maxwell, Mr T. Jackson, Mr McCarthy, and Mr If. E. Harriaon. Miss Freda Marsden played a violin solo by Itaiie with much expression, aud also in a quartette for violin, piano, organ and - 'cello, Mr W. Davies playing the 'cello, and members of thequnrtette classes taking the parts for piano and organ. The piano solos, "Maesa" and "Nightingale and Zephyr," were well played by pupils, the lirets by .Miss McLaurin and tho second by Miss ; Durant. Xvir Webbe played all the accompaniments.
