The Takapunn. brought the following passengers from Onehunga and New Plymouth yesterday :—: — Misses Gow (2), Wallace, Carter, Mrs Carter, Messrs M'Donald, Hustwick, Davies, Williams, Butler, Eich, Bond, Green, Eoutley, Jones, Campbell, Mftrdith, Gadleck; 8 steerage The Elingamite will arrive here to-morrow morning from Sydney via Auckland and East Coast, and i 3 timed to sail for Lyttelton and Dunedin at 5 pm same day. It would seem as if the troubles with the oil engine of the auxiliary schooner Hercules are endless. She is now detained at Okuia, as something has gone wrong with tbe electrical plaut used to cause tbe explosions of benzine, and tbe vessel was again compelled to resort to her sails. Mr Bond, purser of the Taviuni, is to take up the duties of manager of the Union Co's office at Blenheim. Mr Denny, late of tbe Omapere, is transferred to the Taviuni, and tbe vacancy on the Omapere has been filled by Mr Low. Mr Seed, chief engineer of tbe Mahinapua, returned from Tasmania by tbe Maroroa tbis morning to take up the duties of chief engineer of tbe Upolu in succession to Mr Titchener, wbo will take Mr Seed's place on tbe Mahinapaa. Mr M'Dougall, late ohief officer of the Corinna, came up from the Spufch by the same vessel to join the Kini. Tbe Mararoa brought from tbe South 160 tons cargo for Wellington, and has about 700 tons on board for northern ports and Australia. Another 350- tons— mostly transhipments ex Onda and Gothic— will be shipped here. The steamer's officers report a brigantine going through tbe Strait this morning. When the Mararoa arrives at Sydney Mr Wil-on, «econd officer, will transfer to tbe warship Mildura, to undergo the twelve months' drill necessary to qualify him for the Royal Naval Eeserve. ii^&J?? "*Y akat , v ?s? stein?s tein ? shipped to Cheviot 10,000 ft hardwood timber for tbe extension works of the landing service in that locality. As tbe Wakatu will be laid up for tbe annual inspection and overhaul on her return from Lyttelton and coast next trip, the Beautiful Star will be utilised to take down the remainder of the timber required—some 15,000 ft. When the Corinna's machinery was inspected at headqunrters it was found that tbe repairs would be of a more extensive character than anticipated, and consequently it was decided to lay her up indefinitely. v * As tbe Hawea is working Oamaru and Timaru to-day, she will not reach Wellington until late to-morrow night. Her departure for Auckland is deferred until Saturday. Owing to the Waverley being barbound at YYiingunui, the Kennedy, which has just undergone the yearly inspection and overhaul at Nelson, was despatched to Wellington last night to take tbe Waverley s intended cargo of woolpacks ex Ondn and transhipments ex Gothic. After putting out her inward cargo, the barque Firth of Forth will proceed to Newcastle. Captain Thorn has received no instructions as to his vessel's destination from Newcastle, but it is believed to be one of the South American ports. A new propeller for tbe Wakatu, of an improved pattern to the one now in use, was imported by tbo Duke of Devonshire. A heavy sea on the bar prevented the steamers Maiiiiroa, Stormbird, and Huia getting out of /VViuis-anui yesterday. To-day's advices state that a u or'- west wind is blowing, aud there is a big sea on the bar.
