NAPIER SHIPPING.

(From tho Uau-lce's Day Times, Juno 21.)

AIIBIVAIS. juke 22—Herald, schooner, 50 tons, Munro, fromDunodin via Oamaru, with llour, fencing wire, aoodr, &c. 22—Scillonian, schooner, Tliorborn, from Brighton (put in for provisions). 24—Star of tho South, s.s., 117 tons, W. Bendall, front Auckland.

AnmvA.K onnE Schooner Herai/d.—Tho schooner Ilorald, Captain Munro, left Dunodin on Thursday, Juno 13, and arrived at Oan.aru the next day. Left for Napier on Wodncsday, Juno 18, at G a.m., with n full cargo of llour, foncing wiro, &c. Arrived oft" Capo Turnagain on tho 21st, ond in tho roadstoid on tho morning of Saturday last, Juno 22—entering tlio Iron Pot yesterday forenoon. Captain Munro reports having experienced strong S. and S.E. winds all tho way up. The principal part of tho voyage was performed under tho foresail—oven that at times having to bo roefed. Tho run from Oamaru to Capo Turnagain (a distance of about 410 miles) was mado in 48 hours—the vessel averaging nino knots an hour the wholo way up. Tho Herald is a now schooner, built at Wangarei, in tho Auckland province, by Captain Munro, and launched in March of this year. This is only her second voyage, but sho has already proved herself a very superior craft. To look at, tho Herald is a picture. She is a lino roomy vessel, and there aro few vessola wo havo seen of her tonnage with better accommodation for passengers. Tho Herald is tho property of Captain Munro, and is, we believe, for sale. Auuival of the Scilloniav.—Tho schooner Scillonian, Captain Thorborn, from Brighton, bound to Christchnrc!;, arrived in port on Saturday morning last, short of provisions, 52 days out. Sho left Brighton in ballast on tho Ist of May ; ran through Cook's straits with a N.W. wind; passed Cape Campbell on tho Bth. On tho 10th met with a strong southerlj- gale, which lasted till tho ISth ; then had light H.W. for two daj's. On the 20tli sighted Banks' peninsula, when a heavy galo set in from tho t\W. On tho 26th ran for Port Underwood. Wind veored to tho S.E., and continued from that quarter until tho 10th of June, on whicli day tho Scillonian left with a light northerly wind. On the 12th sighted Banks' Peninsula (15 miles distant) when the wind came on again from tho southward, blowing hard, with very heavy squalls. On the 17th had a light breeze from N.W., which only lasted a few hours— coming on again from tho 8., blowing harder than evor. On the 21st kept tho vessel off and bore up for Port Napier in order to get provisions, &c., Come to under Capo Kidnapper at 5 p.mi on tho 216t. Next day ran for Napier, and arrived at the ancliorago the sumo day—entering tho Iron Pot yesterday forenoon. After procuring provisions, &c., tho Scillonian will mako another start for Christchureh —wo liopo with hotter success. Wo may state that tho Seillor.ian is llat-bottomcd, which fact will in a measure account for hor almost unprccodent passage.

(from our own connEsro.vDENT.) J uno 21, 18G7. The favorite s.s. Star of tho South, Captain Bendall, arrived in port at 11 o'clock last night, after rather a long and rough passage of 5 days from Auckland. Sho left Auckland at 9 p.m. on Tuesday, ISth inst. Had strong 8. winds to tho East Cape, which was reached on the 19tli at 10 p.m., but finding a very hoavy southerly galo and high sea off the Cape, put back to Kawakawa, and anchored at midnight. At 1 p.m. on the 20th, tho weather having moderated, proceeded on her voyage. Had strong S.W. winds and head sea to within 7 miles of Gable End Foreland, when the wind chopped round to the southward, and blew a tenific gale, which compelled Captain Bendall to bear up for Tologa Bay, anchoring thereat 5 a.m. on tho 21st. Tho weather continued bad, with thunder, lightning, and hail until the evening of tho 22nd, when it became moro moderate. At 5 a.m. on the 23rd (Sunday) weighed anchor, and proceeded on the voyage. Had fresh S.W. winds and heavy head sea ; and arrived at the ancliorago at 11 p.m. on the 23rd, entering tho inner harbour at 8 a.m. on the 21th. Captain Bsndall reports tho cutter Nautilus and schooner Lady Don as Ij ing at anchor under tho East Capo. Also, that five or six cutters and schooners wero in Tologa Bay, some of which had been three weeks on tho passage.
