The barque Tomatin, Capt. Grierson, entered outwards at the Custom House yesterday for Newcastle, N.S.W., and will sail shortly.

The schooner Dolphin, Captain Doughty, arrived from Napier via Poverty Bay, yesterday morning. The ship Star of India, Capt. Buchan, will sail for Callao this day, weather permitting. The s.s. Airedale, Capt. Kennedy, - is due in the Manukau, from the South, to-morrow, and the s.s. Lady Bird, Capt. Renner, may also be looked for in this port, from Napier and Wellington, on Friday next. The schooner Vistula, Captain Smith, will take her departure for Kaipara this evening. Owing to the -wind still blowing heavy from the Eastward last night, the schooner Sea Breeze, for Russell, and several other craft were prevented from sailing for their respective destinations.

An error occurred in our report of the schooner Victoria, from Rorotonga, which appeared in yesterday’s issue. It was stated that in the gale of three day’s duration‘‘the Victoria ran the distance of 175 miles, under bare poles.” It should have ran thus “ during one day of this gale the Victoria ran 175 under bare poles.”

The cutter Will Watch, Capt. Hajmet, may be immei”ately looked for from Korotonga, as she was to sail a few days after the Victoria.

Mr. Bach's little river steamer proceeded on a trial trip yesterday m orning. She took her departure, after embarking several passengers, from the Waterman’s stairs, Queen street-Wharf, and proceeded down harbour as far as the Miranda, after rounding which vessel she shaped her course for Cal lan’s point, North [Shore. Here she took on board several parties, who were waiting to cross the river, and on arriving at the Wharf, all and onfe expressed their high appreciation of the manner in which the little canoe steamer behaved, it 1 blowing at the time, heavy from the Eastward, and contrary to all expectation she turned out to be hot only a’dry bat comfortable vessel. In the event of her not being purchased by the Government, Mr. Bach is in expectation of being the successful candidate for the North Shore fe.ry service. A better boat for such a service, as regards passenger accommodation, we have not seen for some time past. The schooner Mapere arrived f - om Tuaranga, Bay of Plenty, yesterday morning. AT was quiet there at the date of her leaving.
