She was built by Mr. Hector Macquarrie, of Auckland, to the order of her commander, Oaptabi Or. Johnson. Her hull is shapely, and her masts have a slight rake," which certainly does net detract from her appearance. The ▼essel is named after the title given to the first enjigement between the rebel Maoris and the militia and volunteer forces at Taranaki. Captain Webster, who commanded No. 9 company of'volunteers at that engagement, is a passenger by the Waireka. During the run across, the Waireka has not only proved herself a very fast vessel, having come from land to land in seven days, but has also demonstrated that, she is an excellent sea boat."

By the arrival of the s.s. Kowena (of the Northern Company's line), and of the barge Kauri,; early yesterday morning, we "earn, that the two .vessels named had been in collision off Port' Charles, early on the morning of Tuesday last.' The'steamer suffered most—her damage being estimated at about £150—the principal damage being the loss of the lifeboat, davits, tc, wnicbi: were carried away. The damage done, to the barge is not of a very serious mature. Below, we give the account of the collision, as supplied to us by the master of the. Bowena. CaptainNorria saya : —" I left Auckland at 7 p.m. on Monday last for Mercury Bay. "At 12 o'clock (midnight) we passed Capo Colville, and an hour afterwards we were off Port Charles, At this time I saw a vessel's green- light a short distance off. I kept oar green light to the other green light.The'vessel I made out to be a scow. When abreast of the Kowena the vessel ported her -helm; and-ran into us, striking the! vessel on the quarter, doing a great deal ot. damage. lat once stopped the engines, had the wreckage cleared away, and then steamed after'the scow. '.We -whistled three times before'ehe showed a light to indicate her poiiition.- I learnt she was the Kauri, and that with tho exception of having lost a part of her bowsprit she had not sustained any serious damage.'. 1 then proceeded on my voyage to Mercury Bay, asd after: doing some repairs to ;the. vessel left again for Auckland, reaching port at 8 o'clook on Thursday morning." ■ .
