Inwards Coastwise.—Adah, ketch, from the Thames, with £ tons tram irons ; Mabel, cutter, from Manaia, with 30,000 feet timber. Outwards _ Coastwise.—Ocean, schooner, for Whangarei. . , The schooner Atlantic cleared outwards at the, Customs yesterday for Rarotonga, and will sail'with the first slant of wind, with a large general cargo. The brigantine Augusta left Kockhampton on the 15th instant for this port, with a cargo of bonedust for Messrs. W. S. Laurie and Co. The cutter Louise was purchased yesterday by a Sydney firm for the coastal trade in the New South Wales coast. She will most probably take a cargo of timber from here. The schooner Sea Breeze cleared outwards at the Customs yesterday, with a cargo of 74 tons Coal. The brig Naiad is now about due from Newcaßtle, with a cargo of coal, bonedust, felloes, &c. She left on the 19th instant, and comes consigned to Captain Hurley. The Union Company's steamship Waihora is due early this morning from Russell. She will leave again at noon for Melbourne via Soutkorn ports. The s.s. Glenelg arrived in harbour yesterday morning from Tauranga, with passengers and cargo. She left again yesterday evening for the same port. . ... To anyone of an observing turn of mind there is a large amount of food for reflection and amusement to be obtained on board ship in observing the many peculiarities of those around. There is one class of passengers without fail to be found on board of every ship carrying from half a dozen passengers upwards. They are at once noticeable by the air of all-importance with which they strut about the deck, and by their ever endless and always annoying information of " how things wero done on the l?jt ship they travelled by"—and their unfavovjrable opinion of the vessel they then trod, as compared with that endless " last one." How the steaming power of the ''last" was far superior to the present " abominable tub," and how the master - and officers were iine fellows, whilst the present lot were " awfully slow." One only obtains relief when a gale of wind sets in, and they are below in their berths—busy writing up their diary. Another class is that of gushing description, who cannot do too much for you, and who are amazed at their having selected such a tub as the one they went their last trip in. The officers were simply a most ignorant lot, whilst of course the present company were the pink of perfection. There are others who are ever giving valuable advice to the officers as •to how things should be done, and how they had seen them'done on that "last" trip. Others like to compare one company to another, always of course to the detriment of the opposition line. Masters of steam vessels can tell some funny stories of their passengers when they like, for as a rule a shipmaster is a cute and very observing sort of chap, though generally speaking he is particularly innocent of heart. An amusing tale is told by one of the worthy skippers of the Uaion Company of a passenger who took passage from a port on the East Coast. In conversation with the captain he spoke most flatteringly of the boats of the company, and of the able officers on board; but there was one thing he did not like, and hoped would be altered. " What is that?" asked the captain anxiously. " Why you see all your kniveil are cleaned by the patent circular jnaohines, and those machines sharpen the backs of the knives, which of course, you must know, captain, is very dangerous, as one might cut their mouths!" It was a study to have seen the worthy skipper's face at this explanation, and nothing but a hasty dive into his cabin saved an explosion. We say nothing of the epoonying companions, for they are not only to 3ju met on board Bhip, but are to be found here, there, and everywhere. The brig Moa is again in trouble. From our telegrams it will be seen that she has been compelled to call at Lyttelton for provisions, she being at the time on the trip from Kaipara •for Dunedin. The worthy old master and owners of the poor old Moa should have •profited by the lesson of a few months past, and remembered that, if they wish Jack to do a fair day's work, they must keep up the supply of food. None like a good meal better thavi Jack, and there is no doubt that none deserve it more than he does. The New Zealand Shipping Co.'s chartered steamship the British King, from Lyttelton, arrived at Rio de Janiero on the 24th instant; all. well. - The 3.5. Glenelg is to. leave for the Hot Springj to-morrow at eleven o'clock noon in the loom of the s.s. Rose Casey, the latter vessel feeing laid up for a complete overhauL As the Glenelg will return to Auckland again at about ■ ten o'clock on Monday this presents a splendid opportunity for excursionists to visit these celebrated springs. The, s.s. Omapere took her departure for •Westport and Dunedin yenterday evening, tin'! er the charge of Captain Allman, late of the Southern Cross. Captain Marks goes as chief officer and Captain Alexander as second. .'
