Rio, three-masted schooner Waireka, three-masted schooner The three-masted schooner Rio, Captain Dunn, arrived from Newcastle this morning, after a fair passage of sixteen days.

Te Anau arrived from northern ports at 7 o'clock this morning. She was tendered on arrival by the s.s. Fanny, and this steamer took off the outward passens.s. Te Kapu arrived from Wairoa this afternoon. . The s.s. Manapoun anchored in the roadstead at 2 p.m. . Tho New Zealand Union Steamship Company's new vessel the Upolu was launched at Paisley (England) on ThursThe Hauroto arrived at Sydney from Wellington yesterday. _ _t the Manapoun enquiry Charles W. M'Lean, Surveyor to the Marine Board, deposed that he found one of the plates on the steamer's bottom indented and three or four of the rivets started. The injuries ■Were such as might have been ca«sed by contact with a rocky bottom. They were not of a serious character, and would not render the vessel unseaworthy. Allan Mores Stevenson, chief mate of the Manapoun, said—On the morning of the 7th of August we had land in sight from the Gleunies to Cape Liptrap. The steamer was going about 12 knots by the log, and the weather wa* fine and clear. I waß on the poop, when I heard the telegraph ring, and I could tell by the motion that she was going full speed astern I ran forward, and when I did so I could sea a white line of breakers about two Ship's lengths' away. I felt the vessel craze on the starboard side as she rolled in •the swell The lead was not used before the ' vessel grounded, but it was used when she stopped. The engines were not Blowed before the occurrence as far as I know. When the steamer came back to Melbourne and was placed in the graving dock I saw a dent in the plate on the port side of the bottom The vessel was docked and examined in DunediD before the voyage We had 50 passengers in the saloon and 70 in the steerage. Thomas Good, third officer, said—On the morning of the accident I was on watch and saw what I thought was a whal* in the water ahead. I reported this, and immediately called out "Breakers ahead. The quartermaster also called out the same thin". The captain ordered the engines astern, and after going astern for about a minute and a-half she bumped slightly. The engines were kept going astern foj about 15 or 20 minutes. The Court found ' Captain Logan guilty of gross misconduct, but in view of his long seryice and his record as a careful navigator, they suspended bis certificate for one month and ordered him to pay one guinea costs. The Court added that while recognising Captain Logan's long and honorable career they felt that they must mark the uonuse of the lead, which ia imperative under such circumstances, especially on approaching a coast at full speed in foggy weather. The Argus of the 17th says:—lhe long and honorable career which Captain 'Jhos. Logan has had in connection with the Union Company's Manapouri has now terminated, and the steamer will leave to-day for New Zealand iv command of Captain Wheeler, late of the company's Wakatipu. Capiain Logan, iv the New Zealand passenger trade, seems to have been regarded much in the same light as Captain John Gray, of the Great Britain, in the Melbourne trado. Each took geniune interest in his passengers, and was trusted and respected accordingly.

MOVEMENTS OF UNION COMPANY'S STEAMERS. The Manapouri leaves for Sydney via Gisborne and Auckland this evening. The outward passengers will be taken off by the B.S.- Fanny at 5 p.m. The Orowaiti ia dne from Greymouth tomorrow forenoon. She returns to Greymouth on Monday night.
