The s.b. Go-Ahead, Captain Dicker, arrived here yesterday morning from Wellington, which port she left on Saturday at 5 p.m. On the way up she called in at Castle Point to land cargo. She brings a large cargo for this port, most of which consist of oats. She was unloading yesterday, and was to have left again for Wellington at 6 o'clock last evening. The ketch Pearl arrived here from Gibborne yesterday in ballast. The reason of her coming to this port is, we hear,* to await the arrival of the three-masted schooner Silver Clond from Newcastle, N.S.W., with coal, when she will take in a cargo and leave for Gisborne. The p.B. Manaia, Captain Peteraen, left for the Wairoa yesterday. We heard at the port yesterday that the cutter Rapid had gone ashore at Mohaka, a telegram having been received to that effect. The schooner Opotiki is a full vessel and ready to start with the first slant of wind offering. On March 20, at Port' Glasgow, there was launched from the shipbuilding yard of Messrs Robert Duncan and Co., an iron clipper ship for the New Zealand line of B.iiliog ships owned by Messrs P.

The following are her dimensions : —Length, 215 feet; breadth of beam, 35 feet; depth of hold, 21 feet; 1124 tons register.
