Ootwaeds Coastwise. —Lizzie, cutter, for Whangaroa ; Pukapuka, barge, for Oape Colville; Fanuy Kelly, ketch, for Mangonui; Fanny, cutter, for Whangapoua; Eata, barge, for Waiaro. The barque Glance was hauled off from the Railway 'Wharf yestorday morning, and she is now lying in the stream prepaiiog for her trip to London. Her cargo consists principally of kauri gusn. The B.s. Argyle, for Whangarei, took her departure last evening, The sohooner Onward, which haa been lying in harbour during the last three weeks, is now ready for sea, having had a thorough overhaul in the meantime. Amonget other work done has been the fitting of a new bowsprit, which, it will be remembered, was carried away last Sunday week by the p.s, Devonport. The schooner ■will resume her trade between here and Russell in a day or two. i

The Doric craze still exists. Throughout the whole of yesterday the wharf was crowded by a numerous and excited crowd, all intent in obtaining the best possible insight into the big vessel that could be obtained from the wharf. Ticket-holders wore admitted on board, and the comments of those so favoured were most flattering to the ship, although seen at a groat disadvantage. Still it was noticeable that the main rule that had prevailed throughout the ship had been cleanliness. The officers were all most attentive to their visitors, although often interfering with their usual duties; still no hesitation was exhibited to show the

vessel to all who went on board. The result was that the noble vessel was peered into in every hole ,ind comer, no part of her being left " undone," Mr. Owen, the purser, ■was particularly DoticeaWe in putting forth all his energies to meet the great demand upon his time. Iα the businesu relations of the ship Captain Nearing made good progress with discharging the cargo, and it is fully expected she will be able to get away by Friday next. In

connection with the provisioning of this vessel we may mention that during th 9 passage out her passengers Were supplied with New Zealand frozen mutton, which had been sent home by another vessel, and passed on to the Doric in a frozen state, and so kept by her frozen in her refrigerating chambers during the passage. In fact, she has still a supply on board. Up to six o'clock last night she had discharged about 600 tons of general cargo (weight and measurement}, and daring tbe night until twelve o'clock Captain Rearing was busy putting out railway iron, whilst the b.s. K&w&tiri was also busily engaged coaling the cesser from the port side. She is expected to complete her part of the work to-d,iy. In addition to the Auckland cargo, Captain Nearing han also to discharge the Duuedin portion of the Doric's cargo, which ifl to be transhipped from here by one of the Union Company's steamers. This is found necessary, from the fact that the Doric is not to go on to Dunedia this trip, but only as far Lyttelton. So far the charges lipon the Doric amount to £101 18s, which are accounted for as follows Pilotage, £25 9s 6d; light dues, £76 8s 6d. To thiß will have to be added the outward pilotage, wharf dues, &c., not yet paid.

The s.s. Kawatiri tf-ill leave again for Westport immediately upon discharge of her cargo of coal into the Doric. The Union S.S. Co.'s n,s. Wairarapa arrived alongside the Bailway Wharf at 9.30 last night, Sho left the company's wharf, Sydney, at 10.30 p.m. ou the 13th.

Wished to be reported all well. Also, the ship Avonia, of Liverpool, on Monday, 17th, at 9 a.m., in lat. 34.30 S., long. 159.15 E. We have to thank Mr. Taylor, the parser, for the prompt delivery of our files and for other favours. The Union Company'a steamship Manapoari came into port at tea o'clock yesterday morning from Melbourne via Southern ports with passengers and cargo. As with all the other rasiela ofthis popular fleet, the Manapoari has irrived in excellent order, a credit #Uko to the

company and to her popular master and officers. She cleared Port Phillip Heads at 6 a.m. on the sthinst., passed Wilson's Promontory at 3.10 p.m. same day, and met a fresh southerly gale, which continued until she passed Swan Island at 0.30 a.m. on the 6th ; thence she had fresh southerly winds, rounded Cape Pillar at 0.30 p.m., and arrived at Gfobart at 9.30 p.m. same day. Left again at 0.30 p.m. 7th met., experienced fresh southerly winds for next 24 hoars, and thence had light westerly winds and fiae weather; passed the Solanders at 1.50 p.m. on the 10th inst., and reached the Bluff at 7 p.m. same day ; left again at 4.30 p.m. on the 11th, had fine weather along tho coast, and arrived at Dunedin on the 12th; sailed from Port Chalmera at 4.30 p.m. on the 13th, and arrived at Lyttelton at 9.30 a.m. on the 14th, and Bailed at G. 40 p.m.; arrived at Wellington at 9 a.m. on the 15th, *nd sailed at 5.30 p.m. ; arrived at Napier at noon on the 16th, and sailed at 7 p.m., and arrived at Gieioorne at 5 a.m. on tho 17th, and sailed at 11.30 a.m; passed tho KaetCape at 5.40 p.m., experienced fresh S.

The Manapouri will resume her passage to Sydney this afterBoon at four o'clock.

Mr. J. Waymouth, who, a few days since, removed into a largor building, next to the salt water baths, has already oommenced work in his new premises on a new centre-board yacht, to the order of an Auckland gentleman. Mr. Waymouth has the vessel in frame, and yesterday he commenced on her planking. From the modol shown to us, the new boat should prove a speedy little craft under canvas. Her lines are not what may be termed, on the " weJge" principle, for comfort has evidently been studied, but not so far ae to detract from her sailing qualities. She will have very nico lines, a good entrance, and a fine run being particularly noticeable. In appearance, she will be somewhat a departure from tho general : oharacter of vrasels of her class, low in j hull, and wi';h somewhat of a schoonershaped bow, ahich will give to the craft greater deck space, and a somewhat "juinty" appearance, as compared with the almost universal straight-atem vessels. Her frame is of great strength, and her plnnkin? will be of the very best timber procurable. She U to be copper-fastened throughout, and her standing and running tigging will be of the best procurable. Internally, aho will be fitted with a neat and roomy cabin that will provide sleeping accommodation whilst cruising outside. From all we can learn, Mr. Wiiymouth evidently intends to do his utmost to keep up the good reputation , he has already earned as a faithful and ablo builder. Mr. Waymouth has also on hand orders for several small boats foV ship and other work. The following are the dimensions of the yacht : —Load-line, 33 feet overall; beam, 8 feet;; depth, 3 feet C inches; tonnage (is per Auckland j Regatta rules), 6 tons.
