WEEKLY SUMMARY. Shipping bn fines s during the week has been unusually dull, owing, principally, to the prevalence of light winds off the coast. The weather, during the early part, was squally, with a considerable rainfall, but for the past three days we have had a continuance of fine Rummer weather. The only foreign arrival has been the brig Eliza Blanche, from Melbourne, with a general cargo. The s.s. Star of the South arrived yesterday, with sheep, from Napier. On the 4th the | brigantine Leonidae, Captain Poole, arrived off the port from Tairua saw-mills, where she had loaded 100,000 feet of sawn timber for the Melbourne market; and, after taking in provisions, left for her destination. The arrivals coastwise have not been ■a numerous as usual, although a number of timberladen and other vessels have arrived and discharged during the week. The departures foreign have been eight, inclusive of two of H.M. ships.
