SHIPPING.
PORT OF NAPIER
The Coptic arrived in Wellington from London yesterday morning 1 ; and will be here on Wednesday next. She has a quantity of original cararo for here, and will take in 15,000 carcasses of mutton.
The Australia left Wellington at 6 p.m. yesterday, and should arrive here about tho same, hour to.-day. She will proceed northwards to-morrow afternoon.
The schooner Dunedi'n arrived in Timaru from here yesterday morning, and will leave again for here about the end of the week.
Tho Kiwi did not turn up this morning, and was probably working at Blackhead yesterday. She should arrive this evening. The Wairoa will steam for Wairoa tonight. The Suva is due here to-morrow morning from Auckland, and will proceed to Wellington during the forenoon. Ycstorday, being wet,- no business was done amongst' the shipping, tho weather being the peg on which to hang an excuse for idleness, but this ■ morning, although we could not possibly have a finer day, there is nothing whatever to occupy tho shipping excepting'to dry their sails, of which there is a goodly show along the breastwork. The schooners Cora, .Columbia, and Kestrel, and the brigantine Anthons, have all discharged their cargoes, and are waiting for the sea to go down, as, although comparatively smooth' in- the bay, there is a heavy swell running outside. It is always ' either a' feast ; 6r a famine at the Spit. To-day there is not a single package being : landed, whilst tomorrow the breastwork will probably be strewn .with' cargo, which the carters : will not be able to take away fast enough. The Australia and -Kiwi- will be discharging from Wellington, and tho Suva from Auckland. It is also just possible that the Mary Wadley will be in with a load of coal, as she left Newcastle twelve clays ago, and may therefore be looked for at any moment. The Wairoa pilot reports the bar good. [EEUTEE'S TELEGIuks.—COPTEIOnT.] ■<'• , . i .Memoueni!, June 8. The Mararoa sailed this afternoon for the Bluff.
