'►WEEKLY SUMMARY. Shipping busines during tho week has been tolerably brisk, notwithstanding the strong winds and rough - was which prevailed for several days. The foreign < /; arrivals number seven, four of which made the harbour on the 16th inst., namely, the Circular Saw barque Novelty, Captain Austin, from Adelaide, with breadstuff* ; the barque Armistice, Captain McKeon, u >fxom; Sydney, with a general cargo ; the barque "Mwtietoei Captain Duder, from Melbourne ; and the — bngantine "Vjatuh^jCaptain Paton, from Adelaide, with breadstuffs. On the 17th the barque Adriatic, Captain Cappon, arrived from Port Victor, >duth , Australia, with a cargo of bre«dstuffs. ,On the t9fch, ' tile London ship Southern Cross, Captain ' Mordue, arrived, from Ijjngland, via Wellington, in ballast, having dwcharoßa at the latter place and laid on for ""Wgbnia from-tois port. On. the 20th the London

ship Regina, Captain linthorne, arrived after » pleasant passage of 107 days from the Dowhb, -with a foil general cargo and 24 passengers. The favourite steamer Star of the South' lias also arrived from Napier during the week, and returned -with a general cargo. The Colonial Government paddle-steamer Sturt has likewise arrived from Tauranga, with a letachment of fl. M. 12fch Begiment, whiohis being joncentrated in Auckland prior to embarkation for England. The schooner Tauranga is due hero to-day with another detachment of the regiment. The departures foreign during 'the week have been nil, although a number of inter-provincial timber and produce-laden vessels have sailed. The brig Princess Alice has been thoroughly over, hauled and recoppered on the patent slip, North Shore, and the brigantine Sea Gull has been inapeoted on the hard durinj; the week. The launch of the hull of the new steamship Tauranga, at Mr. Niccol's yards, will probably take ; place to-day, when*he will be brought orer to Auckland to have her machinery fitted. : The fine new brig Flying Cloud, 377 tons, has ar- ! rived from the builder's yard at Little Omaha, and is now at the wharf - fitting out for San Francisco, having been chartered to convey 100 passengers to that port on the 2nd proximo. We have already given * detailed notice of the build of the vessel, which is a credit to our coast building yards and j their resources. ! On Saturday, the 9thinst., a fine olipper sohooner was launched from the building-yard of the Messrs. Munro, at Wangarei Beads. Her dimensions are, 69ft. Gin. between the perpendiculars ; 74ft. depth of hold j 18ft. beam ; tonnage, 90 to 100. The launch was veiy successful, and as she started for her future element she was named the Herald, by Miss F. Munro. The vessel may be expected here in a day or two. The clipper Circular Saw liner Novelty has been put on the berth for London direct, the first of our Auckl»nd-built vessels to make the passage. She leaves with despatch, having all her dead weight engaged, and takes a limited number of saloon passengers. The late gales resulted in the loss of the Auckland cutter Sir Duncan Cameron, which was wrecked at Hawke's Bay, and three lives lost. The vessel was owned by Captain Battray.-bfthis town, and was uninsured. The Auckland cutter Eagle was also thrown on her beam ends, and remained in that predicament for two hours and a half before she righted herself, owing to the violence of the gale off the East Coast. The shipping in port on the 19th hoisted ensigns half-mast in respect for the memory of the estimable wife of Thomas Henderson, Esq., shipowner, of this port. The Circular Saw vessels in port, the barques Novelty and Alice Cameron, owned by the abovenamed gentlemen, were also painted a mourning streak during the day.

THE TROOP-TRANSPORT SHIPS. The troop-transport ships Maori and Electric are rapidly completing their fittiDg-up, and the former embarks her troops on Wednesday next, followed in a few days afterwards by the nhip Electric. Both vessels have been fitted in the usual style for the rei ception of their living freight by Mr. Anderson, carpenter, who merits the greatest praise for the manner in which he turns out the work. The 'tween-decks of both vessels ate supplied with the usual hammock accommodation for the troops, with their long array of mess-tables, arm-racks, plate-racks, and. accoutrement shelves. The Maori ia fitted for 268 rank and file, and the Electric for 360. The former conveys the left wing of the regiment in command of Major Stewart, and the latter the head-quarters of the regiment in commandof Colonel Logan, C.B. The saloon of the Maori takes |10 officers, three of whom have wives and families ; the regimental chaplain also proceeds in the Maori, and Captain O'Shaughnessy, of H.M. 12th Regiment. The 'tween-decks of both vessels present a neat and accommodating appearance, and are supplied with every convenience for tbe married troops and their families, hospital accommodation, to. The Maori ii no stranger in Auckland, and has been frequently taken up by the Government for the transport of troeps to England, not only from Auckland but elsewhere. The Electric is a fine lofty ship, with very superior accommodation. Her saloon has boen supplied by Mr. Anderson with an addition of 27 feet, rendering it the most spacious and desirable of the vessels in port. The Jtwe>sndecks is replete with every oonreDionee foribhe comfort of 360 men, with enclosed cabins for the women and children, and staff-sergeants, a hospital for the sick, and prison for the refractoi -y« The Maori will be inspected by Captain Spain, I he Resident Transport Officer, on Tuesday, embark on Wednesday, and proceed to sea on Thursday nw tt.
