EXPECTED ARRIVALS.

Kiwi, s.s., from Wellington Southern Cross, s.s., from Auckland Wanaka, s.s., from Auckland, Tauranga and Poverty Bay

The Silver Cloud was lightened yesterday by the steam launch Bella. It is thought that she will have to be lightened of two hundred tons of coal before she can cross the bar. The s.s. Sir Donald may shortly be expected from Wellington, she having undergone a thorough overhauling and being now quite ready for sea. The s.s. Kiwi, Captain Campbell, was to have left Wellington for Napier yesterday evening ; she will call along the coast on her . way"up, and should arrive here to-morrow morning. The s.s. Result is to leave for Wairoa this evening, weather permitting. In the report of the Result in yesterday's issue, we stated that she had met with some heavy weather on the way down, this we learned from the engineer on board the s.s. Result. Captain W. E. Baxter states that he had a fine weather passage, but we learn, and upon unquestionable authority, that he himself remarked that he had. an unusually rough ■"passage, or words to that effect ; however, ■we are pleased to have to remark that the Result proved herself so good a sea-boat under such trying difficulties. The s.s. Fairy discharged, yesterday morning, a cargo of goods, ex barque Andrew Reid. The barque 13 turning out her cargo in first-rate condition. The schooner Maude Graham was engaged in discharging her cargo of general goods throughout the whole of yesterday. She had a full cargo of general goods, which, as the Captain remarked, were consigned to so many persons that it would make him hoarse to enumerate them. We reported the s.s. Rangatira in yesterday's issue as having taken her departure for Wellington at 8 p.m. on Sunday ; in to-day's issue we have to contradict this. The Rangatira upon her arrival from Poverty Bay was tendered by the steam launch Bella, which took off her outward passengers and brought ashore her passengers for Napier ; she afterwards made a second trip out with some more passengers for Wellington. The Rangatira, however, did not leave the anchorage, the Captain deciding that it •would be better to remain in port until the heavy southerly breeze, then blowing, moderated. She had not left up till 5 p.m. yesterday, but Captain Evans intends pushing on as soon as the wind goes down. Her passengers are— : Mr and Mrs Smith and family (5), Miss Jackson, Messrs Keith, Beavor, Beck, Pollard and Donnelly. The schooner Orpheus has cleared at the Customs for Mercury Bay in ballast, and will leave at 8 a.m. to-day, should the weather permit her doing so. She will load timber in Mercury Bay for this port.
