WEALING IN NEW ZEALAND. It ia remarkable that, while the whale-fisheiiea Hear the coast of New Zealand, are so exteusive as to induce companies iv America and other parts of the world to despatch, numerous vessels for the purpose of engaging in whale-fishing, none of the Btttlers of Auckland should have turned their attention to the uubject. The number of whales \thich are annually caught in the vicinity of our shores is immense, and yet the colony reaps ho further benefit from the fishedos than an occasional whaler calling iv for provisions. We should notice with pleasure any efforts to orgamse a whaling expedition in this city, and there be but little doubt that it would j>rovo <t remunerative undertaking. The Otago Daily Times of the 29fcli ult. gives the following account of the operations of a whaling company which baa recently been formed at that place : —"About three weeks ago a whaling company was Btarfced at Otago Heads, the plant consietmp ot two whaleboats and gear, one to be stationed at Waikouaiti and the other at the Heads, both being manned by Maoris under the leadership of George Robertson, a half-caste. The conditions of associations w«re that eaoh boat should proceed to eea ov«ry morning under a certain penalty on each of the oraw, who all wort on shares, Communication it kept up by signals by day and fires by nigh The ootopftny boingthun started, it is gratifying J«arQ that their enterprise has been rewarded ia tto capture of a lftrge whale. The whale and her oalf, tho lattav about & week old, were observed off Wai* kettsitl South Head, at noon on Friday, both apparantly playing in the water. Chase was immediatoly giten by both boats, and after a Bmart row one of the boats aucoecded in fastening to the cow, whioh wa« afterwards lanced and killed ia the short Bpace of two hours, when it was towed under the North Head of Waikouaiti, at.d moored. One of tht boats was theu de'-patohed to Port Chalmers, Aod engaged the 6ervice of the Geelong to tow the whale thither. The Geelong proceeded to Waikouuiti At 10 a.m. on -Saturday, and towed the whale as far the Maori Kaik, where the company dotermined on keeping it until this morning, when it will bo towed up «»d placed in the Floating Dock for exhibition. Messrs, Murray and Go. have made arrangements to take it in and pump the water out, no that a fine riewmay be fcal of all parts of this monster of the deep, whioh in estimated to be 50 feet long, ami 25 feet from fin to fin, the tail being about the same uize. Ona of the Harbour Company's gteameis iMves Dunedin to-day, at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., with vUitori, at 3s. 6d. return ticket, including admittance iuto the deck. While capturing the whale, an •xoiting acene occurred on boaid one of the boats, whioh was attacked and had h«r bows stove iv by the calf. On* of the Maori«, in fright, jumped overboard, but wm imarfcly caught by Kobertson, by the haft of the head, and in this position towed for six minutes before it wtvs pouible to tike him on on board. The calf was lanced, but got away. It ia, however, supposed that it will yet be oaught."

The schooner Jauo took her departure on Saturday last for Tauranga, with a general cargo and passengers, i We are indebted fco Captain Robertson, of the brig MO2, for files of Melbourne papers to date of sailing. The brig Pakeha saileJ on Saturday afternoon for WLangaroa, where she will load timber for Adelaide. The barque Carnille entered outwards at the Customs on Saturday, and will take her departure in a day or two for Newcastle.

The Hucalyptus will load {grain for Auckland. — Timaru Herald, July 10. The building of a wharf at Tararu has been commenced. It is to extend to a length of 450 feet, the first 100 feet to be built of stone, the remainder t° be built on pilfs driven in the beach. The work is set on foot by Mr. Robert Graham, and the contract taken by Messrs. McNeil and McKenzie, a sufficient guarantee that it will be faithfully performed 1 hosa who remember the insignificance of Graham's Town previous to the erection of the wharf, and the immmse influence which that work has had on the prosperity of the township, will he prepared to acknowledge that it may have a like influence on this district, Tararu possess - a great advantage over either Shortland or Graham's Town at regards depth of water, and no doubt before long it will aho become a stilling business place. — Advertiser, July 24. A gentleman who has recently visited the scene of theo|,crationsiu Bowden's Bay for ruiainejthe steamer Taranaki informs us that during the past fortnight the divers have been busily employed clearing the decks of tin sunken vessel, which they have succeeded in doing without much inconvenience. The anchors and chains are ud, and only the masts are left standing. In raising one of the anchors, a slight mishap occmred, the rope by which it was being hauled up breaking just as they had brought it to the suiface, when it fell back again. The' divers have been down reaily one hour and a half at a time, but they consider tbe heaviest of their work now done. The two punts which loft here a fortnight since are placed in their position over the vessel, and they were to commence fastening them to the Taranaki on Monday last. A small piece of the catblock ha 1 ? been presentel to us which is nearly eaten away, and should the remainder of the woodwork of the vessel be in a similar state it will be entirely valueless. The two remaining punts, having been completed, were successfully lauuehed on the mornmg<* of Saturday and Monday last by the contractors. — Lyttdton Times. Shipping. — A Southern contemporary says: — " Our shipping column to-day presents the unusual > appearance of no anivals, no departures. It reminds J us of tbe entry in the log of the old guard ship at Portsmouth : — " Wind at south, or thereabout", Nothing come in, and nothing gone out."
