. AKBIVAL OF THE BAKQUE VANGUARD.

: Ob Saturday at noon the barquentine Annie Bair arrived from New York, was towed tip the harbour by the Tongariro, and berthed inside the ■western tee of the Bail way Wharf. Her passage has occupied 107 days. From the report supplied by Captain Byrne, who comes in charge of the vessel on his first visit to this port, nothing of any importance appears to have occurred during the voyage, of which the following are the particulars:—Left New ' York on February 18th with strong westerly winds, which were carried to the vicinity of the trade winds, which proved unfavourable " 'in lat. 19 N. and long. 37 W. Crossed tho Equator on March 24th; got S.E. trade winds "lat. 8 8. long. 29 AT., which proved very light, carrying us to 19 S. 28 W\, then had light baffling winds to the meridian of Greenwich, j. thence to the Three Kings, whioh were sighted on Juno 10th, heavy easterly and southerly gales, with very bad raiDy weather. Spoke the Mary Bussell, of Boston, in lat. 22*44 S. and 27.23 W., on April 9th, bound from Ne-v York! for Sydney, 37 days out, and all well.

Early yesterday morning a barque was Bighted from the fUgstaff, and upon its nearing the entrance to the harbour, it was found to be the Vanguard, from London. She came up the harbour under sail, and at noon dropped anchor in midstream, off the Queen-street Wharf. This is the first time she has been to Auckland, and Captain Shaw, the master, is likewise a Btranger here, thoughhe has visited other New Zealand ports on various occasions. The Vanguard is owned by Mr. Joseph Boumphrey, of Liverpoo], but is at present under charter to Messrs. Shaw, Savill, and Co., London, and her cargo, which consists of general merchandise, is consigned to Messrs. L. D. Nathan and Co., of this city. Her voyage hither has been uneventful, for the following report of whioh wo are indebted to the first officer:—Left London on Maroh 7, with head westerly winds, with thick weather down the Channel to the Lizards, whioh were made in March 14th. Carried easterly winds thenee to lat. 19" N. 24* W. on March 27, when the N.E. tradei set in, which carried us over the Line on April 6 in 25" W. On the 7th April took the S.E. trades, whioh carried us to 21* S. Then light winds from the westward, continuing till the 21st April. Strong westerly winds Were experienced till the 29th. Had light westerly winds in running down tho easting in 45* S. lat. till off Tasmania. Thence baffling winds to Cape Maria Van Oiemen, which was sighted on the 16th inst. Light S.W. winds from thence to arrival in harbour this morning (June 18). Previous to getting N.E. trade winds, on March 21, a severe gale was experienced, and another on June 15, when nearing New Zealand. The Vanguard will come alongside the end tee of the Queon-street Wharf this morning, and as soon as tho entrance at the Customs has been made the discharge of her cargo will be commenced. ARRIVAL OF THE BABQUE MENDOZA, —STORMY PASSAGE. The barque Mcndoza arrived from Liverpool on Satuday afternoon, after a protractod and exceedingly Btormy voyage of 133 days.

Strong southwesterly gales and high seas, with wind varying between S.S.W and W.S.W.. with violent squalls until tho lGtli instant, lat. 45 N and ' long;' 12 W Favourable winds and moderate weather till the 23rd; strong S.W. gales and heavy seaß till tho 26th, in lat. 30 N. and loti" . 18 W.; had calms and light bsffliug winds until .

On the 25th and 26th*seas excessively high, when the ship was hove to for 30 hours. A considerable quantity of tho bulwarks were oarried away by the trc-

ineDdona seaa which broke over tho vessel. This unfavourable weather continued till between the lat. of 39 and 40 -S. Thence to tho coast of Australia had moderate winds, whore northerly winds wore met with, carrying us as far as 45 S., off the Island of Tasmania, which was not reached until May 29. On the 3lsfc May, when about three degrees east of Tasmania met with strong south-east gale and high cross soa. During tho galo, while in tho net of stowing the foresail, one of tho hands named John Taraghan, who was a native of Ireland, fell overboard, and was lost, notwithstanding tho efforts put forth to save him.

Per s.s. Rowona, from Wanganui: 134 sheep, l'horse, 17 kegs butter, and 13 packages sundries. Per s.s. Macgregor, from Waitara : 22 head cattle, 2 bales fungus, and 1 ton sundries. The Union S.S. Co.'s s.s. Ponjuin is expected to arrive from Southern ports with the outward San Francisco mail, early to-morrow morning.

A meeting of the business men in Onehunga was held iu the Council Chamber on Friday evening. About 50 were present, including gentlemen from Mangere, Wniuku, &c. The Mayor (Mr. G. Codlin) presided. Mr. P. Clark stated that the object for which the meeting was called was to consider the present new tariff of charges at the Government wharves, Onehnnga, and to take steps to procure an alteration. Application had been made to the Minister for Public Works, but without having the desired effect. The Railway Wharf at Onehunga is in the same position as Britomart Wharf in Auckland, except that Britomart is controlled by the Harbour Board, while the Onehunga wharves are in charge of the Government, and subject to the cast-iron tiriH: for the whole colony, without any flexibility for local requirements. The result is that the charges at Onehunga are greatly in excess of those at Auckland. For instance, farm produce in Auckland pays Is per ton ; in . Onehunga, Is 6d. General goods : Auckland, 2s; Onehunga, 2s GJ. Timber: Auckland, baulk Is, out 2s; while at Onehunga the charge is 3s 4d all round. Other things are in the same proportion. In addition to this in Auckland the charges are only made on goods inwards, and there is no charge on goods exported, unleas to foreign ports ; white in Onehnnga the charge is- levied both, ways, and even on the trade within the harbour. Again, the charge on vessels lying at the wharf is disproportionate. In Auckland small vessels under 20 tons pay 10s a quarter; over that size, £d a ton a day ; while at Onehunga small vessels have to pay 2s (3d aday; vessels up to 150 tons, Jd per ton a day; over 150 tons, Jd. All these charges aro burdensome on the local trade, and, in addition, the private carrying trade, which is considerable, is handicapped, as all goods forwarded by rail aro charged half wharf ratca only. After considerable discussion and explanation, Mr. J. D. Jackson moved, "That the tariff of wharf charges newly imposed is oppressive and injurious to the trade of the port, and ought to be assimilated with Auckland harbour charges." This was agreed to. Mr. Clark then moved " The appointment of a committee to draw up a correct statement of the facts, and forward tho same to the members for Manukau and South Franklin to take actioa upon." This was agreed to. The committee met at the close of the meeting.—[Own Correspondent, Juno 17.]
