The Three Kings were made on the sixth day out. The North Cape was passed on Friday anchored in harbour shortly after midnight. The R.M.s.s. City of Sydney is due here from Sydney to-night. She is to leave again at noon to-morrow for San Francisco with the homeward English mail.

Captains Tye and Lilewall have chartered the steamer for the purpose of running the vessel as a cargo boat between Auckland and the North Shore. She will start to-day, making two trips each day, leaving North bore at 9 a.m. aDd 1 p.m., and Auckland at 11 a.iu» and H p.m. On Fridays the steamer to leave Auckland at 4 p.m. of 3 p.m. This is done to suit the convenience of the residents of the Lake district. The Jo will also leave Auckland •very morning at 7.15 a.m. for the Sugar Company's works, leaving there again at 5.30 p.ecu This will be found of great service to the company and convenience to the workmen, especially the married portion, whe by this arrangement can come over each evening to their homes. There is no doubt that these two services named above are much needed, and under the careful superintendence of the two "well known captains named should prove successful and remunerative.

The Union Company's steamship Penguin came into port early yesterday morning after another capital round trip, fine weather prevailing from the beginning of the passage until making the New Zealand coast, when heavy north-w?xt and uqually weather had to be conte- against, until just before coming into port. ;un the present trip the vessel comes into pc. in a clean and trim condition, reflecting great credit upon her officers and crew. On Wednesday next Captain Cromarty will have entrusted to his care, for a trip to Motutftpu, the children of the various charitable Institutions, and we feel sure that the children will have every attention at his hands. Of the passage from Fiji Captain Cromarty reports as follows :—Left Levuka 5.5 a.m. on Ist January ; oleared the reef 5.20 a.m., and arrived at Suva 10.30 a.m. Sailed again 4 p.m., breasted island of Übeoga at 6 p.m. Passed Mount "Washington (Kanda7u) at 10 p.m. the same night, and passed the Tiritiri light at (5.30 sum., and arrived alongside Queen-street Wharf at 8 a.m. yesterday. Experienced fresh S.E. trades till morning of 3rd mat., thence light southerly winds till morning of 4th, thence fresh 5.3. W. winds and heavy swell till noon of sth inst. ; carried light S.W. winds and smooth sea till abreast of Poor Knights. At 11 p.m. a heavy N.W. squall was encountered, accompanied with rain, during which St. Elmo's fire was visible on yardarm ani mast* head, thence fine weather till arrival.

Nev/i was receivod at Levuka just before the Ponguln Iftft, of the recovery of the schooner Baacy Lass, with which her captain (Phillips) recently made so free. The vessel is the property of Captain Von Schoen, and was chartered by Mm to the Mago Island Co. On th<* 9th of November last she was despatched from Mago to Suva with return labourers, etc., but the captain called at one of the adjoining islands, landed the labourers, and then levanted with the veasel. She has been captured by H.M. ship Diamond at Sandwich, and has been taken to Noumea. Captain Phillips is reported to hara taken to the bush at the appearance of the man-of-war.

The Union S.S. Co.'a Suva (says the Fiji Times of the Bth ultimo), is now shortly expeoted to take up herinterinsular work, according to arrangement with the Government. This secures to the company a subsidy of £100 per lunar month, with exception from all port, light, and harbour dues in respect to all their steamers, and it fixes the wharfages charges payable by the company at £300 per annum. In the aggregate this is equivalent to a subsidy of about £2500 per annum, and the arrangement should prove satisfactory to both parties.

The schooner Louise is at present at anchor to the westward of the Queen-street Wharf, where she is receiving a thorough in anticipation of the coming anniversary regatta, In which she is to take part.

The barque Embleton took her departure for London early on Saturday morning. The barque Rockhampton sailed on Saturday last for Mercury Bay. There she will load timber for Sydney. The brigantine Ryno entered outwards at the Customs on Saturday last for Sunday Island; the schooner Fleetwing also entered outwards for Suva. She will take a cargo of timber from Mercury Bay. The s.s. Gleneig from Tauranga, Waitaki from Whangarei. and lona from Kussell and Northern ports, all came into harbour on Saturday last with passengers uud cargo. The Waitaki's cargo consisted of 15 bales wool, 30 bags gum, 1 horse, and 5 tons sundries. The s.s. Kotomahana, from Sydney, may be expected to put in an appearance during the course of this afternoon. She sails for Southern ports' and Melbourne on Thursday. The barque Antares is rapidly proceeding with her loading for London. She is expected to have early despatch. SHIPPING SUMMARY. Amongst the shipping matters have not been over brisk during the past month, although the arrivals and departures have fairly maintained the average of past months, but the holiday season has very seriously interfered with the progress of either loading or discharging, and in consequence vessels have been delayed in port much longer than is usually : the case. The principal item of interest has been the safe floating of the stranded steamship Triumph from off the reef at Tiritiri. The 1 vessel was exactly five week* on the reef. She went cn at 10.15 p.m. on Thursday, November ■ 20th last, and at 6 a.m. on Thursday, the Srd > inst., she was floated off, and at midnight she entered the harbour, and now lies safe at anchor near the man-of-war ground. The extent of the damage done to the vessel has not yet been thoroughly ascertained, but no time will be lost before she is got into dock, where her damage will be ascertained. With the South Sea Islands the trade has continued brisk, and there is still a good demand for handysized vessels. The barque Embleton left for London on the sth inst., with a full cargo of wool, gum, &c., and she is to be followed by the barque Antares, now almost a full ship. The ship Piako has almost completed her discharge of Loudon cargo, whilst the barque Akaroa has come down the harbour from the Sugar Company's works, having completed her discharge of cargo there. She has a few tons of general stuff yot to land. The complete list ef arrivals and departures will be found on page 4 of the supplement to this issue.
