EXPECTED ARRIVALS.

Go-Ahead, s.s., from Auckland and Poverty Bay Manaia, p.s., from Wairoa Pretty Jane, s.s., from Poverty Bay and Auckland Southern Cross, s.s., from Lyttelton Kiwi, s.s., from Wellington Star of the South, s.s., from Auckland

schooner Albatross left Whangapoua on Saturday, the 28th, with a strong westerly breeze, which kept up till she passed the Bay °f Plenty. She rounded East Cape on Sunday, the 30th, at 10 a.m., with a westerly wind, and at noon the wind chopped round to the southward, blowing hard, with a very heavy sea. On Monday morning the wind was blowing a regular gale, and the sea was very heavy, she was therefore forced to take shelter at Tologa Bay, where she anchored at 7 a.m. The steamer Rosina was at anchor there when she arrived. The wind continued to blow hard until Thursday, when it moderated, and the Albatross once more set sail. At about 10 p.m. on the same day a strong southerly gale sprang up, which kept up till Portland Island was rounded. She rounded Portland Island at 10 p.m. on Saturday, the sth, and arrived here at 10 a.m. on Sunday. • She has a large cargo of timber for Mr B. Johnson. The schooner Isabella Pratt arrived in the roadstead from Oamaru yesterday morning. Mr Pilot Kraeft went outside in the s.s. Sir Donald to take soundings, and found Sft Gin of water on the bar ; this was not considered enough to float the schooner, he did not therefore attempt to bring her in. She has on board a full cargo of breadstuffs. The steamer Ringarooma, with the Suez mail, arrived at Port Chalmers at 7.15 a.m. yesterday. The Star of the South, s.s., left Auckland for this port at 10.5 a.m. on Sunday. She will probably arrive here this morning. She is advertised to leave again for Auckland on or about Wednesday. The s.s. Kiwi left Wellington for Napier at 4 p.m. on Saturday. She has, no doubt, been detained on the coast by the heavy southerly weather that has lately visited us. The s.s. Go- Ahead is still aground at Poverty Bay, nor does there at present appear to be such likelihood of getting her off. She has drifted from the place she first struck into the channel and has filled with water ; this will be a nasty obstacle to vessels coining in and going out of the river. The Wairoa bar is still very bad, and the Wairoa people are bewailing' their misfortune. We hear that provisions are becoming very scarce in that locality, and that the s.s. Result with her cargo of stores, &c. , is anxiously looked for. The s.s. Rangatira leaves Wellington for this port this evening. All the vessels in port flew their flags halfmast high, yesterday, as a token of respect for the late Mrs J. A. M'Kenzie, who died on Sunday. Mails for the Australian Colonies, per Rotorua, close at Auckland on Tuesday, Bth inst., at 12 noon. Telegrams for transmission will be received at the Electric Telegraph office, up till 11.45 a.m.
