W. broezes, arriving at tho Bay of Islands on Tuesday night; landed 952 sheep and 3 bulls, in good order and condition, tho next day, opposite tho old Mission Station, and left tliore again for this port on Thursday at 1 p m., arriving here at 7 r.m. yesterday.

THE MAORI. Tn- A 1 troop ship Maori, Captain Roberts, cmbarked licr troops and cleared at the Customs yesterday for London, with a cargo of 272 ton 3 military stores, including guns, gua carriages, shot, shell, &c. The following is an analysis of those on board, ftogelher with the officer's names : —Major Stewart (in command), Mrs. Stowart, Miss Stewart, and child ; Capt. (ISth B.I.), Mrs. O'Shaugnncssy and two children ; Surgeon and Mrs. Davis ; Capt. sir R. Douglas, Captain Hasted, Lieutenant Walter, Lieutenant Powys, Ensign Matthews, Ensign Holme?, Ensign Benn, Rev. Father McSweeney, Shift" Feigeant Christie (R.A.), wife and child : Staff Sergeant Curtis (R.A.)> and wife; 1 staft-sergemt (57th), wife, and 3 children ; 1 stafT-3ergeant (ISth), wife, and 5 children; 2GB rank and file, IS women, and '21 children.

The embarkation was conducted in the most creditable manner under tho superintendence of Captain Spain., .Admiralty Transport officer. Tho s.s. Gemini had steam up at 6 o'clock, and made the trips off to the Maori with the women and children and light baggage beforo the men vrero ready to embark. Tho whole of the troops then went on board two cargo boats and the s.s. Gemini, and their baggage in a third cargo boat, and so were towed off to the ship by the fine little twin screw steamer in the most gallant stylo. As ti specimen of what this boat can do, we may state that after performing all this work, sho was at her post and despatched to Riverhead, u full ship, at her contract hour, 11 o'clock. Great credit is due to Captain Caßcy for the manner in which he carried out tho work entrusted to him.

The men, once on board, soon shook down into their future quarters, and expressed themselves highly satisfied with the arrangements provided for them. The fin.il inspection takes place to-day, the ship drops down to the Heads during the afternoon, and sails at daylight to-morrow. In parting once more with the good ship Maori, we heartily wish, her, Captain Roberts, and his officers " God speed," and a pleasant and prosperous passage homo.

The Taiiasaei.—Tho N.Z.S.N. Co's s.s. T'aranoki, Captain Francis, steamed at a late hour last night for Tauraaga and the Southern provinces, with a general cargo, and some 30 passengers. She also took for Lyttelton 100 selected sheep, from Mr. Robert Graham's well known flock.

The Sloop B angatiha.—Captain Casey's cutter, the Mount Eden, which was sunk some few months back off Brown's Island, after being raised, was placed in Mr. Dutliie's hands, (shipwright, Custom House) and has since undergone extensive alterations. She was launched the other day, and is now a seagoing sloop of the stoutest and strongest construction, fitted with a handsome counter stern, running bowsprit, tc. The wholo reflects the greatest credit upon Mr. Duthie. Tho boat is now called the Rangatira, and made her first trip yestsrday, by conveying troops to the Maori. The Kate Grakt. —The schooner Kato Grant, Captain Matzen, left tho Kaipara on Wednesday week last, bouud to Ghristchurch, with a cargo of 29,000 feet sawn timber; experienced very heavy weather on the Coast, rounding the North Cape on the following Friday, after which encountered some very severe squalls ; on Tuesday last, whilst running, and off tho Barrier, was struck by a heavy Equall from the S.W., which split the mainsail to ribbons, and Captain Matzen deemed it prudent to bear up to this port for a new soil, arriving here yesterday morning. The Kate Grant resumes her voyage about Tuesday next. The schooner Iranhoe, Captain McGregor, took her departure again, last evening, for Mongonui, with a cargo of timber, &c., and 8 passengers.

The January English Mail came to hand on Monday night last per s.s. Auckland, 5 and r.-hslf days from Sydnw ; her detention was owing to the m-iil steamei' being late at Sydney. It brings no shipping news of importance, only one ship, the Warwick, had sailed foe this port; and only one, tho Ironsides, was loading. Our usual Southern exchanges have also been received during tho week, but the only news of importance contained in them is lengthy reports of tho severe weather experienced all along the coast. A very interesting event took placo at the North Shore on Wednosday last, by the launching of tho pioneer steamer Tauranga, for tho Bay of Plenty Steam Navigation Company. 9ho has been built by Messrs. Niccol & Son, and reflects tho highest credit upon them both for modol and finish. We regret to learn during tho week of the loss of two Auckland vessels, one tho new schooner Stately, at Oamaru, the otfcc the cutter Elizabeth Ann, at Tairua; all hands were saved. Both vossols wero insured in tho N.S.W. Marine Assurance Company
