The barque Bella Mary is advertised to sail for Hobart Town to-morrow. The barque Victoria from hence, arrived at Newcastle on.the 13th inst. The barque Mary Ann Annison is on the berth at Lyttelton for this port. The brigantine Hannah Broomfield arrived at Wellington from the Kaipara on the 23id inst. The schooner Minnehaha, from the Thames, arrived at Lytteltenon Friday. The nchooner Nerval, bound for Tonga, was to sail early this morning. The p.s.

The barque Ansdale, which loft Kaipara on the 29th ult., arrived at Sydney on the 11th inst., with a cargo of timber. The brigantine Mary King hence, arrived at Wangaroa. on Friday, and will there load with timber for Timaru. The brigantine Augusta sailed on Saturday evening for Levuka, with a general cargo and a number of sheep. The schooner Belle Brandon entered out at the Customs on Saturday for Sunday Island, and will sail early in the week.

The schooner Fiery Cross eleared at the Customs on Friday for Waitara, and will most probably sail to-day. Her cargo consists chiefly of railway iron.

Mr. D. Gouk is the successful tenderer for repairs to the three-masted schooner Fairlie, which was injured by grounding in the Wailieke passage a few days ago. The total amount of the tender cannot be arrived at, as certain work has to be done at so much per item. The unsuccessful competitors were Messrs. Niccol and Sims and Brown. The s.s. lona arrived in harbour on Saturday afternoon, from Russell and Northern ports. On her passage up from Russell she encountered strong S.E. winds, which delayed her fully ten hours beyond the usual time of her arrival. She brought numerous passengers, the names of whom were published on Saturday, and a cargo of 120 bags gura, 53 bags oysters, and several head of cattle.

The Union Co.'s s.s. Tarauaki, Captain Griffiths, arrived nt Onehunga from the South on Saturday, with passengers and cargo as per lists. She left Dunedin on the 21st, calling at ail thei intsrmediate ports. Experienced fine weather on the passage up. AVs are indebted to tho purser, Mr. Edmiston, for files and other favours. She is announced to return to the South at 11 o'clock this morning, and intending passengers will require to leave Auckland by tho 9.15 train. About 5 p.m. yesterday evening, the schooner Belle Brandon, which is on tho gridiron at the Gore-street Jetty, canted over, and in doing so snapped the foremast to such an extent that it had to be cut away and removed. The accidont is a somewhat unusual one, and the fact of her being unrigged conduced materially to tho mishap. The shipwrights are at present employed on the vessel in fitting a. new mainmast, and the foremast was supported only by a pair of nhearlegs, one of which is presumed to have worked out of the shoe and caused her to list over. The fall and the sudden stoppage caused it to snap, as the stick wh»n taken out was found to be as sound as on tho day when it was put in. A ca.sual correspondent writes last night to state that the " schooner Jessie, owned by Messrs. Osborne Bros., of the Thames, trading between here and Russell, is supposed to bu lost. She is due here a fortnight ago, having left Russell with the Fawn, cutter, and others.' Captain August Miller, formerly mate of the Flirt, Kato McGregor, aud subs«.£tiently master of the Magic, and Cl.in Alpine, is in charge." With regard to the above we find, on reference to our Russell correspondence, that the Jessie arrived at the coal depot on the Gth, but no mention is made of her departure. On makin;: inquires about the "SVharf la*t night, however] ■we find that one of the skippers on board a Thameß trader saw the schooner at tho Gold field's port on the 14th inst., and as the Fawn, cutter, did not leave Russell until about the 19th, or perhaps later (arriving in Auckland on the 24th), it is just possiblo that she may have run for shelter from the strong south-easter which is blowing outside. She may have started at tho same time as tho Fawn, cutter, and others, and yet, being doeply laden, Captain Miller being new to her nmy not have deemed it prudent to face the storm as the SHgic and others which arrived last week did.
