Thes-s. Argyle left last night on her weekly trip for Whangaret The barque Adela, Captain Lβ Brun, is advertised t4 leave to-day for A ewcastle. in ballast. The schooner Bbenezer cleared yesterday at the Customs, in ballast, for RusselL The Union Co.'s «.s. Hawea, Captain Wheeler, left Onehuaga yesterday for Southern Ports, with a fall complement of pauecgen. The brigantine Boderick Shu came alongside the Ferry tee yesterday, and is now discharging her cargo oil flour, grain, and oats. Thes-B. Southern Cross will leave Napier to-day for Auckland. She will bring from that port a number ol prize cattle from the late agricultural show, which have been purchased for consumption in this market. Mean. Cruiclcshauk and Co. received a telegram yesterday to the effect that the s-s. Hero left Sydney for this port on Monday, at 5 p.rc., and is, consequently, due on Sunday night, or early on Monday. Wβ are informed that the barque Victoria left Newcastle on Saturday list for this port, with a cargo of ISO tons of coal, to the order of Messrs. Henderson and Macfarlane. The Transit, schooner, sailed from Port Albert on Friday last, for Oamarn. She loaded with 62,000 feet lit Umber, from the mill of Messrs. Nicholson and liens, situated on the It Funi branch of the Oruanharo. The schooner Coronet, Captain Bose, which cleared f>r Tahiti on Saturday, yesterday dropped down to the eutem side of the breakwater, to Join company vith the numerous craft that are anchored there a raiting a change of wind to enable them to proofed tri their virions destinations. In our yesterday's issue we stated that the passage oV the German barque, Johan Cesar, from Tongatabu, n u the quickest on record. We, however, find that i.eh is not the case, and, in justice to Captain laverock, of the brig Video, make the amende htnvurablc. The Vision, on her last trip, accom-V-'isbed the passage in 5 days 12 hours, and the one previous In 4 days 22 hours. The cargo of the barque Abernyte was broken into yesterday morning, and at noDn-day the western tee wore quite an animated appearance from the large quantity of merchandise stored upon it. Customhouse officials, shipping clerks, stevedores, aad the usual paraphernalia pertaining to the discharge of a veuel, were once more in full swing, and, we trust, will be for many a long day to come. Nothing definite can be said as to the doings of the e.r. Llewellyn, at Sydney. More than a fortnight ago an influential shareholder of the company Insinuated to us that she would not return, and on enqniring at the office yesterday afternoon, no information whatever could be given on the subject. It is, however, expected that letters will be received from Mr. Lodder per Hero, which will enlighten the shareholders and public as to the movements of this vessel. The passenKers by the barque Johan Cesar, from Tongatabu, as stated in our yesterday's issue, were an officer and cadets of the German party, who are on the way to FatherHnd, there to undergo the usual examination before receiving appointments. The distinguished party consists of Lieutenant Baron Von Erhardt (officer in charge), 21 Naval Cadets, a sailor and steward of H.I.M. ship Hertha. Their sojourn at Apia (Samoa), was of brief duration, the original point of departure being They proceed homewards by the Hero, to Melbourne, and thence by the Suez mail to Enrope.
