Ehinedin ii, we uaJcrrataml, to be the first port of call of the Now Zealand Shipping Co,'a steamship Knikouru, now on her way from London. It win expeotud that Auckland was to have been the firut port of call for this vessel, but later information show* that that arrangement has been altered. The a.B. Clansman, from Tauranga, Arrived yesterday morning with cargo and passengers, She U to leave again this evening for the eamo port. On Friday evening next the e.g. Argyle is to make an excursion trip to Mercury B.iy. At that place there ii to bu a regatta on Saturday, and it is expected that a large number will avail thenmelves of the opportunity of visiting the regatta, as thorn -, who go by the steamer from here will be able to return again by the Argyle early on Sunday morning.

On Tuesday last the Rotomuhana passed both the Alameda and Zaalandia bound hence to Sydney. The former was seen at 2.30 a.in., aud the Zealandia at 6 a.m. The two steamers left here on Monday morning last—the Alameda at 4.28 a.m., and tho Zealandia at 10 a.m. The arrival of the two vemels at Sydney will be watched with a considerable amount of interest, although it is almost a foregone conclusion that the Alameda will continue to havo the best of the running against the Zoalandia aa she had between San Francisco and Lore.

A new cutter, built by Muserv. Murray and Sons, of Tairua, has arrived in harbour, and the it an excellent specimen of the builder's art.

All who are acquainted with Unptnin Kapp, who had been a frequent viultor to this port, will regret to loarn of the losa of hia barque, the Italy. The vessel was lost on a reef to the northward of the Bunker Croup on the Bth November last, while bound from Newcastle to Cooktown with coal. The Queensland Marine Board having considered tno circumstances concerning the loss of tho vessel, decided that the navigation of the barque was conducted most carelessly. Owing to Captain Rapp's long service in command on the Australian coast, for his being a serious loaer by the wreck, and also from the weak state of health in which he appears to be, the Board did not deal with his certificate, but censured him severely for neglect of duty. The Board censored the mate, Christopher Francis, for the careless manner in which the ship's reckoning ■vfus kept, and for other matters. The barque was almost wholly owned by Captain Kapp, and was bat lightly insured. The barquentine Deronport left Melbourne for Newoflstle on tho Bth inst.

A paragraph in a Sydney paper says :— "The Union Company have in viow tho initiation as early as possible of a direct service i »twe*n Queeualaud and New Zealand, though

for the present, at least, the operations will be oonfinedto Brisbane. It i» intended to keep the, matter of an extended service steadily before tho company, however, and to give it careful consideration. It will be aeon from our telegraphic shipping that the Wakitipu Iβ announoed for Brisbane. . The ■ i.
