The weather during the past week his been fine* and we think it can now be said that summer has set in. Wo have; however, been favoured with occasional refreshing showers, proving most beneficial to the farmers and. country Bottlers, besides laying the dust. The arrivals this week hare been very few, and our harbour presents a very bare appearance but as a number of our English and Colonial vessels are now due, we may expe t to sec before long a fleet of craft anchored in harbour. The arrivals comprise on Sunday last the schooner Zillah from Napier, via the coast, with maize, prt>du-e, &c. ; on Wednesday the fine cattle ship Salamander arrived from Gin ?et no, Queensland, with a cargo of fat cattle for the contractor, Captain Johnson ; ehe had a very tempestuous pas-age, of thirteen days, but fortunately arrived without any loss to her live stock; from this por* she proceeds to Melbourne f«»r the purpose of shipping h«r machinery, boilers, auxiliaiy screw, #c., after which she will leave for Gladstone, Queensland, for tin*' r cargo of cattle for this port. On ThursU..,* cutters Sea Belle and Three Sisters arrived lrom Hokitika, with passengers, &c.; the American barque Matias Salvinius, which came in yesterday from Valparaiso, with flour : and the Beautiful Star, from Napier, with sheep, completes the 'arrivals.

The departures were the brijp Princes Alice, for Valparaiso, imd barque Anne and Jano, for Newcastle, on Saturday lust: the cutters Roso and Sea Shell, for Canterbury, with sawn timber, on Sunday: the P.N.Z. and A.R. !Vl.

The Enterprise, ferry steamer, has made her trial trip and commenced the ferrv service between tho Queen-street Whaif and the Flagstaff, and will, no doubt, prove a great success. Great satisfaction was manifested on tho port of our commercial community by tho receipt of tho September English mail, which arrived in tho Manukau per Airedale, on Monday last. AR 111 VAT.
