The p.s. Manaia, Captain Petersen, steamed from the' breastwork ; for the Wairoa at 2 o'clock this morning, with a full cargo, and a number of passengers. She will return to this port, providing she meets with favorable weather, on Thursday afternoon. A telegram was received yesterday which contained the information that the s.s. Result, was under Long Point, where, we suppose, she must have run for shelter. The schooner Orpheus arrived in the roadstead from Mercury Bay yesterday afternoon, with a full cargo of timber, which she will' commence unloading on being brought inside this morning. She left the former port on Tuesday, the sth inst. The s.s. Pretty Jane, Captain. Eccles, will leave for the Thames and Auckland at 2 o'clock this afternoon, taking a cargo of live stock. The schooner Acadia left Mercury Bay on Wednesday last, and arrived in this port yesterday afternoon. She has on board a full cargo of timber consigned to one of our local merchants. The s.s. Rangatira, Captain Evans, left Wellington for this port yesterday, and will arrive here to-day. She will leave the wharf for Poverty Bay at 4 p.m. to-morrow. The s.s. Taupo, Captain Carey, left Port Chalmers for Auckland via the East Coast, we hear, yesterday afternoon. She will arrive here on Friday morning, and steam for Poverty Bay, Tauranga, and Auckland, at 5 o'clock the same evening. The s.s. Kiwi, Captain James Campbell, should arrive from Wellington via the Coast this morning. She will steam again for Wellington at noon to-morrow. The three-masted schooner Silver Cloud, Captain Balle, was to have left Newcastle, N.S.W., on Monday last. By our shipping telegrams yesterday, we perceive that the Union Steamship Company's s.s. Rotorua had arrived at Sydney after a quick run of four days 19 hours. On her passage from here to Auckland, on her way to Sydney, she also did in remarkable time, the trip only occupying 33& hours. Taking the actual steaming time, the passage from this port to Sydney was done in six days four and a-half hours. The slip at the Western Spit is progressing satisfactory. Mr Northe informed our reporter that he had gone out the full distance required with the piles, and before long we may expect to see some of our coastal fleet being drawn up for the purpose of a good overhauling. It will be seen by our telegraphic shipping that the Isabella Pratt left Oamaru for Napier yesterday, and not last week as previously stated.
