The schooner Columbia, from Russell, arrived in harbour yesterday morning with a cargo of cargo of 76 tons coal. ; The mission barquentine Southern Cross having completed her loading, hauled off from the Queen-street Wharf yesterday afternoon. She is to sail «■& her usual cruise amongst the islands to-morrow.

The three-masted schooner Mule is expected to be ready to sail for Tonga to-morrcw.. Several passengers have booked for the round trip by her. Should there be fine weather the trip will no doubt prove a most enjoyable one. Tha schooner is a capital sea boat, and for passengers has moat roomy and excellent accommodation, and in Captain Lane those who go by the vessel will find a most courteous and careful master.

The preliminary inquiry into the going ashore of the s.s. Thomas Buss ell. is to take place today before Mr. Thomas Hill, the Collector of Customs.

, The brigantine Myrtle, from Newcastle, bound for this port, put into TThangarei yesterday for shelter. She has for here a cargo of bonedust and coal.

. The s.B. Clansman, from Tauranga, arrived in harbour yesterday morning with passengers and cargo, and left again at 10 a.m. for Whangarel, from which place nhe is to return again this morning early. The work of fitting up the 'tween decks of the steamship Triumph has been commenced, and is to be completed where she is lying. It appears that the steamer will be unable to obtain, a berth at the Railway Wharf, there neither being space available nor water sufficient for her.

Good progress is being made with the discharge of the inward cargo of the ship Waimate. Xt is probable that the ship will be laid on the berth for London.

The barque Glenlora's loading for London is getting on apace, and she is expected to obtain quick despatch. The tenders for the floating of the' s.s. Thomas Russell at Oreti Point are receivable at the office of Captain Clayton up to 10 a.m. to-, day. 'V' The brigantine Helena may be looked for shortly, being on the way from Adelaide with a cargo of flour, &c. The Union Co.'s steamship Arawata is to be docked here this trip for the purpose of clean-, ing and painting. The barque Glenlora is to be docked for cleaning as soon as the brigantine Lapwing comes oat.

The three-masted steamer Yolande was yesVr.'day berthed at the Queen-street Wharf, :.?here she Is to discharge her cargo. The barque .Lu' i-srworth is getting along with kss Yesterday the boiler was plaoad Its the steam tug Awhina, also a quantity of her sisghiuery. ~

. The barque Siov-sro which is to sail for Lytteltco in all %?<vhability to-day, will take from here some 100 'ions of sugar, shipped by iwi N.Z. Sugar Co.

" This Custom; Department will transact their business on and after the 30 th inst., at their temporary premises, Firth's Bond, Albertstreet. r

ARRIVAL OF THE NORTHUMBERLAND. ■<; ; -TWO DEATHS; \/ ; > Shortly after ten o'clock yesterday morning word was received from Tiritiri that a large foil-rigged ship wu in right off the Little Barrier, and about noon the signal of a ship outside Tiritiri was run up at the signal station 1 on,the North Shore. It was at once surmised that the vessel would prove to be the Northumberland, from, London, 102 days out, and th'i supposition turned out to be correct. Owing to the light 'J. fc»d S.E. wind blowing during the day • her • progress inwards wu alow, and '■* it was not until an early hour this morning; that she managed to reach Rangltoto Reef. The ship, an upon her previous trip, comes under the command of, Contain Todd; and a striking proof of the popularity of the captain and the Tossel "as shown by the large number of pas•angers brought by iar,' and everyone appeared to be in excellent spirits and health, and spoke la ; very high terms of praise of the attention and courtesy shown to them by the captain and officers throughout the passage. The monotony .f the' somewhat long passage was most aaweably broken by the holding of concerts, &o, s in otb «*r way# the pleasures of the passengevs Are prtvid«*i for by the ship's company. In Addition to * large number of pawengeri, the

INorthumberland alto brings.a fall cargo of Eneral meroitaiiidUe. Good order appears to «B prevailed <in board, and the. ship has been brought to her destination in a most, cleanly state, a fast fiat reflects very highly on every one oonoeraed. As soon as passed by the Health Officer the passengers will ' be landed, and arrangements will be made as quickly as possible for the :berthing:; of the ship, and the quick discharge of her cargo. The names of her passengers and list of cargo were published by us in our issue, of Friday last. Last night the ateam tug Staffa proceeded down to the 'ship, under the charge of Captain John McKenzie, and after delivering . to the ship a supply of fresh meat, &c., she returned to town. From Captain Todd, we learn that the Northumberland left Oravesend on the morning of the 13th December, 1884, and anchored in the Downs at 5 p.m., a fresh westerly breeze blowing at the time, which incre&fed to a hard gale with viplent squalls. This weather continued until the 16th December, when we passed hawser to steam tug Victor, fresh westerly wind and fine weather. We then proceeded down- Channel, and encountered very rough weather, hard gales and violent squalls continuing until 2nd December. On the 19th, the wind blew . with almost hurricane violence, being accompanied by thunder, lightning, and heavy rain. On the 22nd December we landed pilot off Scilly, at 11 ft.m. East and northeasterly winds carried us on until the 31st December. We .were. then detained by contrary winds for a few days. The N.E. trades were picked up on 3rd January, in lat 26* N. These winds . proved light and unsteady, ana failed in 5' N., on 10th January. We crossed the Line on the afternoon of the 14th January, in long. 24*37 W., light variable airs and calms prevailing. We got the S.E. trades in lat. 39 S. ; these winds were light , and well southerly, Mid continued to lat. 23' S., and long. 30' W. The easting in the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans was made between the parallels of 40* and 46* 8., easterly winds prevailing as far as the meridian of Kerguelen Island. Passed the meridian of Greenwich oh February 8, Cape Leuwin on Maroh 7. and the south Cape of Tasmania on March 12. jlfter passing Tasmania, we had moderate B.E, to B. W. winds with fair weather. Sighted Cape Maria Van Diemen on the morning of the 19th March, with S.E. winds, thence light southerly to S.E. winds to arrival. The following Is Dr. E. G. Leger Erson, medical officer's, report: — Ship Northumberland, March 1885.—1 regret to annonnoe two deaths, namely, that of Mr. Henry Lawton, saloon passenger. on the 7th February, from heart disease and brunt* ttis ; also that of Mr. Robert Garrett, aged 61 years, in the second saloon, on the 11th day of the suae month from senile phthisis. Both of these oases were of long standing and hopeless In their character from the outset. With the exception of the above, general good health has been enjoyed, and" there has been no case of epidemic disease amoagit those placed under my care. The voyage may well be described as an uneventful one. The attendant monotony, however, has been happily broken from time to time by a series of entertainments such as athletic sports, concerts, fancy drew balls, which; were successfully organised amongst the 'passengers. A Masonic lodge also brought those of the fraternity on board together, and afforded pleasurable Instruction to the craft during the voyage. The barometer registered its lowest reading upon the 12th March. '(33, whilst the thermometer registered its highest temperature, 84* F. In the shaHe upon the 16th of January, and its lowest Indication, 50' F„ upon the 12th March following. The Northumberland, with her spaolousbetween decks and admirable appointmentals exceptionally well adapted los the conveyance of passengers. A series of gales and heavy weather was experienced In the Channel and Indian Ocean, and demonstrated alike the seaworthiness of our ship and the skill of her oommaUder. The passengers are above the average, and amongst their number will be found men of a most desirable stamp for th» colony.

THE SENATOR SUNK. On Tuesday evening last the coal hulk Senator, which that day had been taken up to the New Zealand Sugar Company's works for the purpose of landing coal, was found to be on fire. Every effort was made to get at the fire, but without success, and as the night went on matters began to look very serious, and as daylight ~""i round it became a matter as to whether it was not advisable to scuttle the hulk, as the fire was making rapid progress. At about ten o'olook it was evident that there was no hope of saving the vessel, consequently holes were out in the vessel, and in a very short time she sank in about 16 or 20 feet of water. > The hulk lies in an awkward position off the Goal Wharf at Birkenhead, and it will not be without some difficulty and expense that she will be again raised. The Senator is the property of the Kamo Coal Company.
