The schooner Waiwera arrived at Port Chalmers from Auckland, via the coast, yestesday. The ketch Fanny KelJy arrived yesterday evening from "Wangaroa, with a cargo of timber. An excursion from Riverhead to Kaipara will be made on New Year's Day by the s.s. Gemini, according to announcement elsewhere. The p.s.

The schooner Amherst, 220 tons, Captain Berry, was at the berth at Sydney, loading for Auckland, vrhen the Hero left. We observe that the schooner Echo was to leave Tauranga yesterday for this port, with a cargo of jjrain. An official enquiry was held at Hobart Town touching the loss of the barque Tien Tsin. After hearing the evidence of Captain Taylor, master of the barque, and Commander Stanley, of H.M.C S. Victoria, the Court did not think it necessary to call tho second mate or any of the men: They would take time to consider their decision. They wero, however, justified in telling the captain that they did not attribute any censure to him or his officers, who had assisted him in his efforts to save the ship. As they might wish to leave town before the decision was given, it might be a satisfaction to them to know that the Court was rather inelined to bestow praise than blame upon their conduct under the trying circumstances in which the vessel was lost. The captain's certificate was therefore handed back to him. Launch of the Steaifer Aknb Milbank.—This paddle steamer, constructed by Messrs Sims and Brown, at the North Shore, to Captain Casey's order, was launched last evening at high water, the ceremoney of christening being performed by Miss Casey. As soon as finished, the steamer is intended to relieve the s.s.

Hosfrfng formally took command of the Australian squadion on the 16th instant (reports the Arous), by hoisting his broad pennant on board H. M. Pearl. There was, however, no ceremony. At an early hour in the morning the captain's gig went alongside the mail steamer Sumatra, and the Commodore having embarked, was taken on board the Pearl, where the officers were in readiness to receive him, the men being at general quarters. The broad pennant was at once hoisted at the fore, and at the same time the i)ido hauled down her broad pennant, and hoisted the, homeward-bound pennant at the main. The Commodore then made a brief inspection of the men 8t quarters and the ship, and returned to the mail steamer for the purpose of seeing Mrs. Hosklns off to Sydney by the mail steamer Ellora. The Dido was aot visited by the Commodore. It 1b generally understood that the Pearl will leave Hofcson's Bay for Sydhey-on Monday next, but the Dido will remain in theJbay'.a few days longer, before starting for. her homeward passage.
