The s.s. Wanaka, Captain M'Gillivray, left Wellington on Friday at noon, and arrived in our roadstead at 9 a.m. on Saturday, after an average passage of 21 hours. The passengers, were immediately brought ashore by the Bella, and the s.s. Sir Donald and ketch Why Not tendered her for cargo, of which there was a large quantity. The Wanaka, not leaving until 4 p.m., a goodly number of her Northern bound passengers availed themselves of the opportunity thus afforded of seeing Napier, and came ashore in the Bella. The launch took the passengers off at 4 p.m., and the Wanaka steamed North shortly afterwards. The s.s. Rangatira, Captain Evans, as we expected, encountered some very heavy weather on her trip to Poverty Bay, the capfcviii deeming it advisable, after rounding Portland Island, and when off Whangawhei to hove to for some considerable time. The weather clearing and the wind moderating, the Rangatira proceeded on her course, arriving m.Gisborne at 9 a.m. Saturday; left again in the evening for this, and arrived in the . roadstead at an early hour on Saturday inormng. The Bella took off the outward passengers at 11 o'clock sharp, and the Rangatira proceeded on her passage at 11.30 a.m. The s.s. Taupo, Captain Carey, arrived at the anchorage at 4.30 yesterday morning from Poverty Bay, Tauranga, and Auckland. She left Auckland at 10.25 p.m. on Thursday, the 21st instant ; arrived at Tauranga at 10.15 a.m. oh Friday, the 22nd instant and sailed again at 1.20 p.m. the same day ; arrived' at the Poverty Bay anchorage at 10 a.m., and sailed at 5.30 p.m. on Saturday, the 23rd instant, arriving as above. She was tendered, by the steam launch for pasBengers and cargo, and steamed for Wellington and Southern ports at 10.30. a.m. yesterday. We are obliged to Mr Dougherty, the purser, for files and report. The s.s. Kiwi, Captain James Campbell, amved.from Wellington via the Coast at a late hour on Friday night, and came inside the Pot on Saturday morning. She left for Wellington via the Coast at 6 o'clock on Saturday evening. The s.s. Go-Ahead, Captain Helander, steamed into the roadstead from Poverty Bay on Saturday afternoon, and took in some cargo from the Adamant for Poverty Bay, for where she will leave some time to-day. The schooner Elizabeth Conway, Captain Ware, left Auckland for this port with a cargo of railway iron on Wednesday morning last, * The s.s. Result, Captain Baxter, left the breastwork for the Wairoa late on Saturday evening, taking a few passengers and a full cargo. In fact, all available space was taken up. The s.s. Mohaka, Captain Baxter, cleared out for Mohaka on Saturday last, with stores. She will return with wool. The p.s. Manaia, Captain Petersen, started for the Wairoa at midnight on Saturday, but she had hardly got over the bar when the engines came to a stand-still, which necessitated her to anchor. She was brought inside at 11 o'clock yesterday morning by the Bella, the latter vessel coming in from the Taupo. This is rather unfortuate, as the Manaia waa a full vessel. The schooner Columbia, Captain Conway, left for Poverty Bay at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, with a full cargo transhipped from the barque Adamant. The Bchooner Isabella Pratt, Captain Cross, was taken into the roadstead on Saturday morning, and being favored with a light, breeze, made sail shortly afterwards for Oamaru. The schooner Waiwera, Captain Bushell, cleared at the Customs at Auckland for this port, with a full cargo of railway iron on Wednesday last, and left on Thursday. The schooner Opotiki arrived from Poverty Bay at noen yesterday. She will enter at the Customs this morning. The cutter Rapid, Captain Tierney, arrived from Mohaka at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon with 20 bales wool. The captain informs us that the bar at Mohaka is in a deplorable condition, he having had, after a sojourn in the river of fourteen days, to cut his way through. Should sufficient inducement offer, the cutter will again be placed on the berth for the same place. The s.s. Mohaka, Captain Baxter, successfully crossed the Mohaka bar early yesterday morning.
