Arrival of ihe p , Coomerang. THE p6. Coomerang, Oaptain Chrisp, left Napier at 8 pm. on the 2bth ult , and arrived at the Tamaki on the evening of the Ist October, having experienced very boisterous weather on the passage up. Her cargo of sheep and cattle were all landed in first-rate condition. The steamer thon proceeded up to Auckland, and left for this port via the coast at 8 pm. on the 3rd iust., and experienced strong S W. winds aoruss the Bay of Plenty. The East (Jape waa rounded at 2 a.m. on the Sth inst, and arrived at Tologa Bay af 9 a.m.; left a^uiu at II a.m., und anchoied at Poverty Bay at 4 p.m. ; luiuled several passengers, ami steamed for > apier at 5.30 p.m. Passed PortlauU Island at mid night, and dropped anchor in tho roadstead

The Comerang will steam for Auckland (calling at Poverty Bay to land passengers if iho weather permits) at 11 o'clock this morning. Capt. Chrisp reports the sohooner Murewai and the ketch Eagle aa having left Poverty Bay for this port on Wednesday last, •»o that both vessels may be hourly looked for. He alao informs us tbat the schooner Herald left Tologa Bay for Auckland on Tuesday last. Arrival of the s.s. Keera. The a.s. Keera, Capt. Bain, left Auckland at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, 4th instant, and met with a strong southerly wind as far aa the East Cape, which was rounded at 2 p.m. on Wednesday ; from thence, strong S. and S.W. wind until arrival here at 1 pm. yesterday. The Keera 'B upward passage, like tho Coomerang's, was rather a long one, during which some heavy weather was experienced, and the , steamer was compelled to seek shelter in Hick's Bay. Notwithstanding this, however, it is satisfactory to state that her cargo was — as, indeed, is usually the case with this favorito boat— landed in good order and without loss. The Keera brings about 80 tons general cargo, the particulars of which mu«t stand over until our next. We have to thauk Capt. Bain for files of papers ono day later than those to hand per Coomerang, The Keera steams for Auckland at 5 o'clock this afternoon.
