The p. 8. Mfinaia, Captain Peterson, took in a cargo of timber, flour, and barrels yesterday afternoon, and left for the Wairoa and Mahia in the evening. The barrels are for the whaling station at the Mahia, the whaling people of that locality having been very fortunate of late. A telegram was received yesterday informing us that eight sperm whales had been caught, the estimated value of which is set down at £2400. The s.s. Pretty Jane, Captain Holmes, left the outer wharf for Poverty Bay and Auckland at 5 o'clock last evening. She took a small miscellaneous cargo and 4 working bullocks for Poverty Bay. The s.s. Result, Captain Baxter, left for the Wairoa last evening with a good general cargo. . She has been fitted up very neatly, and received a fresh coat of paint, which greatly adds to her appearance. The cutter Rapid lightered the Falcon of a portion of her coals yesterday morning, and in the afternoon Pilot Kraeft went out in the steam launch Sir Donald for the purpose of fetching the Falcon to the breastwork, to which she was moored at 4 p.m. The schooner Albatross cleared, at the Customs yesterday in ballast for Whangapoua. On her arrival there she will take in another load of timber for this port. The s.s. Wanaka, Captain M'Gillivray, left Wellington for this port at 11 a.m. yesterday, and should therefore arrive here at about 7 a.m. to-day. She leaves for the North at 5 p.m. ■Thes.s. Rangatira, Captain Evans, arrived at Gisborne at an early hour yesterday morning, and left again for Napier last evening. She is due here at an early hour this morning, when she will make fast to the outer wharf and unload the Napier portion of her cargo. S^ie will leave for Wellington at 5 p.m. to-morrow. The. s.s. Kiwi, Captain James Campbell, left Castle Point for this port on the 30th ultimo, and should have put in an appearance during the night. The steamers Rotorua and Taupo will arrive in the roadstead on Sunday next, the former from Wellington and Southern ports, the latter from Poverty Bay, Tauranga, and Auckland. They both leave the same day. The s.s. Fairy, Captain John Campbell, is expected to arrive from Poverty Bay and Mangakuri at an early hour this morning. The Union Steamship Company find that by using the Bay of Islands coal it will produce an annual saving to the company of £ 5184 — net a small item. The Bay coal can be purchased at the river mouth for 12s per ton, while that of Newcastle costs 335 ; but as a ton of the latter is reckoned equal to something like 25cwt., the actual saving on each ton will be 15s. The work of the company at present necessitates a supply of about 8000 tons per year. The usual visits of the steamers to the Bay will not in any way interfere with the time-table.
