EXPECTED ARRIVALS.

Eangatira, s.s., from Poverty Bay Southern Cross, s.s., from Auckland. Star of the South, s.s. from Auckland Sir Donald, s.s., from Wellington Go-Ahead, s.s., from Auckland and Poverty Bay Kiwi, s.s., from Wellington Falcon, barqueiitine, from Newcastle, N.S.W. Silver Cloud, three-masted schooner, from Newcastle, N.S.W.

The s.s. Jane Douglas, Capt. J. W. G. Fraser arrived in port at 1 a.m. yesterday. She left Lyttelton at 3 p.m. on Monday, the 11th, with light N.E. winds and fine weather. On Tuesday, at 10 a.m., the breeze increased to a heavy 'gale, she being then Waipapa Point. This continued until Wednesday morning, when it shifted to the S.W., still blowing hard, with heavy rain. At 4 p.m. the same day, she being then off Cape Palliser, the wind hauled to the N.E., and shortly afterwards went round still more, and blew hard from the north, with heavy sea, until her arrival as above. She brings for this port ISOO bags, or 90 tons of flour, consigned to Messrs Watt Bros. The s.s. Southern Cross was to have left Auckland at 4 p.m. yesterday for this port. This would make her due here at about the same time to-morrow evening. The s.s. Kiwi left Wellington for Napier at 5 p.m. yesterday. She may therefore be expected here some time to-night, as she has to call at several places on the coast on her way up. The excessive rains which flooded the streets of Napier throughout the whole of Thursday last, although very much regretted by pedestrians were still not without good results. That curse to the flourishing township of Wairoa, the bar, which had remained closed for some time, opened yesterday, this, of course being attributed to and looked for as the result of the heavy downpour of rain of Thursday. The Maoris of Wairoa appear to be very jubilant over the opening of the bar. A telegram was received by a chief at the Spit yesterday, from, one of his tribe at the Wairoa, which read: — "The river has broken through. Good, very good !" The p.s. Manaia left for that place at 9 p.m. yesterday. We trust the bar will continue in its present good condition for at least the next day or two, so as to allow the Result and Manaia time to discharge their cargoes and get away again for this port. The Result was to have left yesterday evening for the Wairoa. She had a full cargo of miscellaneous goods. The s.s. Fairy went alongside the Andrew Reid early yesterday morning, and was engaged in taking in cargo throughout the day, which she will discharge this morning. The lighter Why Not is to run alongside the barque this morning. The s.s. Eangatira left for Poverty Bay at 5 p.m. yesterday. She had a large cargo consisting of goods shipped at Wellington under bond, and a quantity of free and duty paid goods shipped in this port for Gisborne. The schooner Opotiki was to have sailed for Poverty Bay yesterday evening. She had a large cargo, consisting for the most part of timber shipped by Mr Scarfe, and spirits shipped by Messrs Watt Bros. The schooner Acadia took in her last load of ballast yestei-day, and was to sail at 6 a.ra. to-day for Port Lyttelton.
