The 8.8. Manapouri left Gisborne for this port at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, and consnquently should be due here about 11 o'clock today.

The schooner Agnes Donald, for Gisborne, takes the following cargo :— 14 tons flour, 27(1 ■acks oass, 35 toiw coal, 50 boxes candles, 11,000 feet timber. The Island trading s.b. Janet Nicoll is to leave again on her second trip (under Government contract) for the South Sea Islands to-morrow. The schooner Seabird, from Newcastle, came into harbour yesterday morning early, after a tedious passage of fourteen days, variable and light weather having prevailed during the passage across. The sohoonnr Waiwera is to leave for Tairua and Gisborne on Thursday next. The brigantinc Parneli, after an absence of about three months from this port, during which time she has visited the Kaipara, Melbourne, and Newcistlo, arrived in harbour yesterday from the latter port, which place she left on the 13fch instant, with light N.W. winds, which took the vessel off the Australian coast, when variable winds set in, and held to the brigantine until making the New Zealand coast (the North Cape) on Thursday last. Down the coast light airs and calms prevailed. The ship Katharine dropped out into the stream yeoterda., morning. Tho vessel is read> for ssft, but nothing has yet been decided upon as to her futuie movements. Freights are ex. rawely low and charters being difficult to pro.

cure, owners of tailing vessels are puzzled what to do with their crafts to make end« meet. We understand that tho Katharine has been offered a charter at 20s from Lyttelton to a port in England for orders, with 40 days lay at Lyttelton. • ■ i . , The barque Olarlbel has been docked, and is there receiving a thorough overhaul prior to her going on the berth for New York with kauri gum. The Union Oo.'s Royal Mall a.a. Arawata left last evening for the Fiji via Russell. She is the bearer of a full general cargo, several passengers, and the mails for the islands named received per I.S. Australia, The s.s. Clansman for Tauranga, Wellington for Russell and Northern ports, and Argyle for Mercury Bay, left last evening with oargo and passengers. , The s.s. Omapere, having landed all her cargo for this port, left last evening for Greymouth direct. The barque Altalr, prior to coming alongside the Queen-street Wharf, has been taken on the hard in Freeman's Bay for cleaning, &c. She will be berthed to-day. Tho schooner Three Cheers, loaded with timber from the Thames, resumed her passage for Brisbane early yesterday morning. The s.s. Waitaki, from Whangarei, arrived last night with several passengers and the following oargo :—75 sacks gum, 12 kegs butter, 5 boxes butter, 13 hides, 1 bundle skins, 2 casks tallow, 1 ton sundries. ARRIVAL OF THE NERBUDDA. The fine Iron clipper ship Nerbudda came into harbour early yesterday morning from London, and having explosives on board she brought up at the powder ground, where she is to remain until they are discharged. The Nerbudda has very handsome linos, but her carrying capacity has not been sacrificed for more beauty of outline. She is built of iron, and is of 1561 net tonnage, gross 1632 tons, and with an under deck tonnage of 1489 tons. The ship is a four-year-old vessel, but such is tho care that has been taken of her that alio does not look half that age. She was built by Messrs. Russell and Co. at Greenock, in October, 1881, and is owned by Messrs. Foley and Co., of London, who are also the owners of a number of other wellknown vessels in the Australian and other trades, among which may be mentioned the Malabar, Silhefc, and Baynard. This is •• the first visit of the Nerbudda to this port, and her maiden passage has not, unfortunately, been such a one as to show to good advantage her sailing qualities, her voyage hiving been marked by fair weather and foul, tbo litter very often having the beat of it. But the Nerbudda is no exception to the rule for long passages, as it is a moat noticeable fact that for some time p:\st almost all vessels bound to the Australian Colonies and New Zealand across the Southern Atlantic have been making long passages, 100 to 110 days to Melbourne from London being now more the rule than tho exception, so that the Nerbbuda*s passage of 112 may be placed as a very fair average one. Notwithstanding the leugth of the voyage, the ship has arrived in harbour in excellent order, everything being in a neat tidy state both alow and aloft. Upon the discharge of her powder, the Nerbbuda will come up harbour, and after being berthed at the Qneen-street Wharf, will commence the landing of her inward cargo. The vessel comes under charter to the New Zealand Shipping Company, who request that all freight may be paid to them, and delivery orders obtained for the receiving of cargo, so as not to delay the discharge of the ship. Captain Colder reports that he left London on the 3rd of May last, and had head winds down the Channel, the Lizard being passed on the seventh day out. Variable weather was encountered until failing in with the N.E. trades, which proved light, and it was not until the 6th June that the equator was crossed. The S.E trades were taken from off the line, but they proved light and variable. The meridian of the Cape of Good Hope was passed on the olst day out, and from that time very heavy and variable weather was experienced, the eastings being run down on a parallel of about 59", during which very heavy weather was experienced. Tasmania was passed on the 4th inst., and from thence variable and unfavourable weather was experienced to arrival. PORT OF ONEHUNGA. DEPARTURE. Hannah Mokau, s.e., Windsor, for Raglan and Kawhia. —A Barnes, agent. The s.s.
