Rangatira, Captain Evans, arrived in the roadstead from Wellington at 7.40 p.m. on Tuesday, making rather a long passage of 25 hours, caused through encountering strong head winds from Wellington to Cape Palliser. She was brought inside at 7 a.m. yesterday, and made fast to the breastwork, where she discharged and took in a large quantity of cargo. She will leave at 11 o'clock this morning for Poverty Bay, and return here on Saturday morning, when she will leave again for Wellington. The following is the report of her passage from Wellington :— Left Wellington on Monday, at &.45p.m. ; experienced strong head winds and heavy Bea to Cape Palliser ; thence till arrival light variable, with beam sea ; anchored in the roadstead as above stated. The s.s. Taupo, Captain Andrews, will leave this port for Poverty Bay, Tauranga, and Auckland at 4 o'clock this evening. The s.s. Southern Cross, Capt. F. Holmes, left the breastwork at a few minutes after 9 o'clock yesterday morning for Lyttelton, with 255 bales and 1 bag wool, valued at £4822, 164 bales shipped by the JMew Zealand Loan and Mercantile Company, and the remainder by Messrs Wardrop and Co. She also took three racing stallions, shipped by Mr K. Farmer, their owner, fche will return next week with a full load of sheep. The s.s. Fairy, Captain John Campbell, was to have left for Whangawei last evening. If the weather proves favorable on the coast, she will proceed to Nuhaka for another load of grain. ' i'iie schooner Nelson, Captain Robertson, is at the breastwork with a load of colonial produce from Lyttelton. She left that port on Saturday, the 4th instant, and arrived ia the roadstead on Tuesday evening, after a smart passage of four days. She was brought inside yesterday morning and commenced discharging. The s.B. Mohaka, Captain Baxter, was announced to leave for the Wairoa at a late hour last evening. She has a good cargo on board for that port. The brigantine Endeavor, Captain Dick, was discharging at the breastwork yesterday, and turned out her cargo in excellent condition. We notice the p.s. Manaia is for sale without reserve, this step being taken, we suppose, in consequence of the Wairoa river hejng blocked up for such a lengthened period this year. We hope she will not be allowed to go out of Napier, there being plenty of work for her in this port should Sir John Coode find some inexpensive means of keeping the mouth of the river in a navigable state. The s.s. Hawea, Capt. Wheeler, will leave Auckland for this, port, via Tauranga and Poverty Bay, this afternoon.
