Yesterday being the anniversary of Her Majesty's coronation, H.M.S.S. Brisk was gaily decorated with bunting, and a royal salute was fired from th vessel and Eort Britomart at noon. The cutter Snowflake, Wilson, master, arrived yeßterday from the Thames, with kauri gum, pigs, The N.Z.S.N. Co.'s s.s. Taranaki, Captain Francis steamed yesterday afternoon for the South via Tauranga and Poverty Bay, with a full general cargo and several passengers, full particulars of which appear hi our Customs columns. u.'he schooner lauranga, Captain Edwardeß, tcok her departure for Mercury Bay yesterday, to ship a full cargo of sawn timber for the Buller River. The weather havingr somewhat moderated vcstcrday morning, the p.s. Enterprise N O . 2, Captain Daviee, took her departure at B*3o p.m., for Omali and a full cargo and several passengers. The brig Princess Alice, Captain K.iddey, went alongside the ship Warwick yesterday to tranship her cargo of wheat for London. The ship Lincoln, from London, arrived at Lyttelton Heads on the 3 9th inst., with over ICO passengers—all well; 124 days out. The barque Esk, Captain Nobb?, from Sydney, arrived at San Francisco on the 21th April, 82 davs out. J The Echconer Kale Grant, Captain Malzen, left Wangarei oh Thursday night last, and arrived in harbour yesterday morning, bringing up a cargo of kauri gum, &e.; also, 2 passengers, bhe reports the cutter Wangarei aa about to leave for this port, with a cargo of coal. The Kate Grant leaves again this evening. The Mebbington.—The manifest of this fine ship, which sailed from the Downs on the 12th April, and now 79 days at sea, will be found in our other columns. She comes consigned to Messrs. Earns and Laurie. The s.B. Beautiful Star, Captain Morwick, arrived at Dunedin from Wellington on the 24th instant, for the purpose of being handed over to her new owners. i barque Lochnigar, from London, arrived at n ollington on the 23rd instant, all well. Insurance.—Owing to the prospect of war on the Continent, some business has i lace at Lloyd's in war risks, chiefly upon French and Prussian vessels, but there were also a few transactions as regards neutral ships. The rates charged to cover the risk of capture and seizure, ranged from ss. to 20s. per cent., accordirg to the date of sailing and length of voyage.

"Vessels Wind-bound.—Owing to the continued psevalence of the north-easterly weather, tho following vessels were detained in harbour wind-bound at sunset last evening :—Countess Kusselli ship, for London ; Soa Breezo, schooner, for Kussell; Orpheus, cutter, for Coromandel; Whitby, cutter, for Opotiki; Don, cutter, for Wnngapoa ; Morning light, cutter, for tho Great Barrier ; Lady Wynyard, cutter, for Napier ; Rob Hoy, cuttcr, for Kennedy's Bay ; Casein, cutter, for tho Barrier ; Argo, schooner, for Wangarei; and several otbors. Lato last night, however, there was a cliangc, tho wind having shifted to tiie south-wost, so that no doubt tho fleet will be able to proceed to sea this morning. The barque Australind, Captain Barrack, arrived at San Francisco on the Otli May, from Sydney. Tho Tahitian schooner Eugenie, having discharged her cargo of cotton, will bo taken on tho North Shore Patent Slip to-day for inspection, &c. • Tho ship Ironside was berthed at tho wharf yesterday morning, ready for discharging. Tho 8.P.8.N. Co.'s s.s. Tauranga, Captain Sellars, is duo to-day from Tauranga and Opotiki. The schooner Mavis, Captain Purchas, loaves again to-day for Tauranga, weather permitting. The cutter Orpheus, Captain Glover, sails for Coiomandel this morning, at 9 o'clock. The schooner Argo, Captain McLeod, cleared at the Customs ye.'tcrday for Wangarei, with a general cargo and 10 passcngors. She sails this morning. Tho new iron steamor Titan, which arrived at tho Heads under canvas on Tuesday last, was towed up the river yesterday, and moored alongside tho Australian Wharf. Sho left tho Clyde on January 3, but on account of very stormy weather slio put into Kingston, which port sho did not leave until January 10, so that her passage, although extending to 139 days from Kingston, has not, considering her limited size and tho weather sho had to contend against, been so very much out of tho way. Tho Titan has arrived under canvas, schooner rigged, and the masts, sp:irs, and rigging, and, indeed, all her goai aloft, are of the most complete and substantial description, and should her services not bo retained for this port sho can be at once takon to New Zoaland, or any othor of the Colonies. Captain Henry Deano has brought her out. The greatest day's sailing got out of the Tiian on tho passage was 232 knots, for two consecutive days she mado 190 knots, and a run of 170 knots was a matter of frequency. At her trial trip on the Clyde a very satisfactory rate of apeed under steam was attained. Tho Titan is a paddle-wheel steamer, clinker-built, and was designed and finished at the iron-ship building yard of Barclay and Curio, on tho Clydo. She is ninety-five feet in length, and fully one third of this spaco is occupied by the engine-room. Her. beam is seventeen feet, her depth of hold eight feet, and her gross measurement ninety-seven tons. Bhe is registered for nine years : and for her size she is stated to be a very Btrong and powerful vessel, and possessed of considerable speed. She is propelled by two disconnecting side-lever engines, of fifty-five horse power, and her paddle wheels are fitted with patent feathering floats. Sho draws about 4ft. Gin. of wator when ready for towing purposes, and with six days' consumption of fuel on board ; but her present draught with her masts and rigging is sft. She will bo fitted up at once under the inspection of Mr. W. Stewart, lato chief engineer of the s.s. Albion. Tho masts and rigging will be kept et. nding uotil such, time as her ultimate destination is decided. The Titan is consigned to Mr. Davidson Niehol.—Melbourne Argus. Tha steamship Otago, after an unusually long passage of fifty-two hours from Wellington to Lyttelton, arrived at the latter port this morning at two o'clock, and sailed again for Dunedin half-an-hour afterwards. The severe south-westerly galea which have been experienced on the coast during tho last four days, have doubtless been the cause of the Otago's detention. The Gtago will probably make the Heads at midnight, and arrive at Port Chalmers at daylight. The English mail and passengors will he forwarded to Port Chalmers by tho harbour steamer, leaving the wharf at half-past nine o'clock to-morrow morning, and the Otago will s*il for Melbourne about noon. It will be seen by the Postoffice notice in another column that letters for England via Marseilles or Southampton and "V ictoria can be posted up till S o'clock to-morrow morning. The sailing of tho Bangitoto, for Northern ports, has also been postponed until to-morrow. Intelligence has been received by the agent, Mr. G. S. Brodrick, of the arrival of steamer Lord -Ashley at Wellington this afternoon. According to the post office time table the steamer Lord "Ashley left Auckland for Wellington on the 13th inst., and consequently has been eight days on a voyage, which in ordinary weather only occupies three days. The weather encountered by the Lord Ashley, is described as having been fearful, but no mishup to the vessel has been reported, The Lord Ashley has on board the northern portion of tho English mail, which will be forwarded via Panama.—Dunedin Evening Star.

WEEKLY SUMMARY. The weather during the past week has been very boisterous and unsettled, greatly retarding shipping business, more especially at the wharf. The wind has prevailed for the past five days from the East and North Eaßt, blowing hard, accompanied by heavy downfalls of rain ; this has been the cause of keeping a complete fleet of outward bound vessels in harbour awaiting a shift of wind, amongst which is the ship Countess Russell, Capt. Penfold, for Plymouth. Ihe arrivals of the week both coastwise and foreign are most numerous and comprise : —On Saturday last the cutter Nautilus, Capt. Loverock, from Napier via the East Coast, with produce, &c. ; on Sunday, the Panama Co's s.s. Auckland, Capt. Tlarris, from Sydney, with the April English mail, general cargo, and several passengers ; on Monday, tho cutters Glimpse, Capt. Kattray, and Woodstock, Capt. A. Sloane, from Christchurch, with grain, &c., also the following from the East Coast : Meteor, schooner, Capt. Jcnes ; Jane, schooner, Capt. Faulkner; and Three Sisters, cutter, Capt. Thomas ; besides twenty six other coasters, all bringing full cargoes of produce, cattle, pigs, &c.; on Tuesday, the cutter Eagle, Capt. Wilson, from Itorotongu and the South Sea Islands, with fruit, Sc., and brig Nil Desperandum, Capt. Delandolles, from Newcastle, N.S.W., (bound to Dunedin with coals) put in for repairs ; on Wednesday, the N.Z.S.N. Co's s.s. 'J'arnnaki, Capt. Francis, from the South, with mails, passengers, and cargo; and Taliih'an schooner Eugenie, Captain Hart, 32 days from Tahiti, with a full cargo of cotton for tran-shipment to London per ship Warwick. The only departures have been on Saturday, the brig Hebe, Captain Charlesworth, for Mercury Bay, to load sawn timber for Guam ; and s.s. Tauranga, for Tauranga and Opotiki, with a fnll general cargo and 22 passengers ; and on Sunday, the " Circular Saw " brig Susan, Captain Poulsen, for Newcastle, N.S.W., with a cargo of building materials, &c., and 23 passengers. And yesterday the s.s. Taranaki, Captain Francis, for the South, with mails, &c. The ship Countess Kussell embarked the Military Train, and now only awaits a Bhift of wind preparatory to proceeding to sea. She goes home in charga of Capt. Penfold, ship John Scott (belonging to the same employ), Capt. Stuart having been taken bo seriously ill as not to allow of his keeping command of the Countess. The following is the correct list of those that procoed by her :—Colonel Gamble and family; Colonel O'Brien, Capiain Green, Captain Stone, Lieutenant Sewell, Lieutenant Davis, Lieuteant St.Aubyn, Lieutenantand Adjutant Shacbleton, Quarter-maßter Lambert, Dr, Tomlinson ; 270 men, 40 women, and 80 children. The p.s. Sturt, Government gunboat, Capt. Fairchild, returned from the Hawaii on Wednesday last, bringing up His Excellency the Governor and staff. We hear that this fine and useful steamer is shortly to proceed round to the West Coast. Several foreign and colonial trading vessels are now considerably overdue, and may be looked for at any moment with u favourable shift of wind. Another cargo of cotton, 43 bales, has been recei- i ved from Tahiti, per schoner Eugenie, for tranship- 1 menfc to England per ship Warwick, on account of Messrs. Owen and Graham. From the Thames we learn that the schooner Caroline, owned and commanded by Captain McCaskill, was lately caught by a heavy fresh in one of tho I rivers, which drove her from her anchorage, and after rolling both masts out of her, she was cast high and dry upon a sand bank. A boat, of 16 feet keel, painted red inside and blue out, supposed to belong to somo Natives, was cast ashore at Tologa Bay on the 10th inst. It contained a quantity of women's and children's apparel, &c., also an awning marked in difl'erent 'places with the Government brand, and " condemned."... U. M. S. S. Clio, which put into Tahiti for repairs to damages sustained through a heavy hurricane during her apassage to Valparaiso, was still at that port at the date of last advice; she had received a j new main-mast, her rudder had been repaired aud ! shipped,'and the other repairs being rapidly proceed- I •d with I

All the coasting and othor arrivals of tho week roport experiencing the full force of the heavy South find South West galos that prevailed last week, no less than seventeen of tliem having at ono time to seek shelter in Tryphena harbour, Groat Barrier. On Tuesday last tho brig Nil Desperandum, Captain Delimdelles, from and belonging to Newcastle, N.S.W,, put into this port for repairs. Sho wa9 forty days out bound to Dunedin, but meeting with a heavy gale in Cook's Straits, which did the vessel great damage, she at sovoral times nearly foundering, the Captain doomed it prudent to run j before it and bear up for this port for the safety of lives and property. She willdiscliargo her cargo hero, and then undergo through repairs and overhaul. Intelligence lias been received from California of tho arrival there of a schooner called tho " Sanglier, Captain Clarko, from New Zealand." This is generally supposed to bo tho Stanley, which vessel it will bo remembered suddenly left Hokitika some few months back, in command of Captain Clarko, for Guam, and taking with her her owner, the defaultor Kirkwood, of Onehunga. Tho wreck of a vessol, bottom up, has beon passed between Wellington and Wanganui, supposed to be tho schooner Ben Nevis (late of Auckland), ancl a long time missing from Wanganui. The portions of wreck, which we noticed in our last summary as having beon picked up at Wellington Heads, has been identified by Capt. Kreeft as part of the ill-fated steamship Queen, which foundered in Cook's Straits on the sth April last. Tho Panama Co.'s s s. Lord Ashley, Capt. Worsp, had a moßt tcmpißtuous passage of seven days from this port to Wellington via Tauranga and Napier, being compolled several times to seek shelter in the coast. A complimentary address was presented W> Capt. Worsp by tho passengers upon his arrival. Wo regrot to state that tho Ashley was so far behind time as to lose tho supplementary mail Bteamer for Melbourne. Tho s.s. Midge, appointed for the Northern Steam Service, having shipped hor screw, and received a thorough overhauling, mado a trial of her engines during the week, when everything was found to work smoothly nnd satisfactorily. She commences the service next week. The new steamer Tauranga, belonging to tho B.P.S.N. Co.'s, left hero on her maiden trip on Saturday night last, with a full cargo and Boveral passengers ; from Tauranga wo learn that she arrived thero the next day aftor a quick run, and had started again for Opotiki. The Tauranga may be expected back here again to-day. Upon her arrival' Bhe will be inspected by Mr. Balfour, Marine Board Engineer, who arrived here from Wellington on Wednesday last per s.s. Taranaki, for that purpose. We perceive that it is the intention of the company to call at tho Barrier, Mercury Bay, and Tairua, at all of which places there is a numerous and increasing population, who will no doubt tend towards tho profitable employment of the Bteam-vessel. The April English mail came to hand on Sunday evoning last, per s.s. Auckland, with that vessel's usual punctuality, being again a day before her time. The shipping news is not very important, but brings tidings of several arrivals homo. The clipper Biam, Captain Asliby, arrived at Gravesend on tho 9th April after a good run of 89 days from this port, and was followed two days after by the Winterthux, Capt. Hunt, which vessel made a lengthened passage through the prevalence of light winds and calms. The Ida Ziegler, Captain Reynolds, 91 days out, had arrived in the Channel on the Ist if ay, all well. The only vessel that had sailed for Auckland, was the ship Merrington, Capt. Graham, on the 12th April, and comes consigned to Messrs. Harris and Laurie. The vessels loading were the Ballarat, Capt. Craighead (Capt. Allen having given up command through illness); and ship Siam, Captain Ashby; the Ida Ziegler was announced to return to this port on the Ist July, and to be followed by the Chili, Captain Stringer. From a Southern paper we learn all tho wool ships from those ports made a good run home of from 80 to 90 days. Begarding the men-of-war on tho station we learn that H.M.S.S. Charybdis, Captain Algernon Lyons, had arrived at Sydney as relief ship to H.M.S.S. Esk, on this station. She is said to be a fine scrow corvette of 1000 tons, 400 horse-power, carrying 17 guns, and a complomer.t of 275 men. The Esk, Captain Luce, left Sydney for this port on tho 16th inßtant, and is therefore hourly looked for ; from this port she takes her departure for Portsmouth. H.M.S.S. Brisk, Captain Hope, will shortly leave here for Wellington, with His Excellency the Governor. The Panama Mail, per Rakaia, came to hand yesterday by the s.s. Wellington from the South, but brings no farther shipping news of importance. Full particulars will be found in our other columns.
