The schooner Saucy Kate came into harbour yesterday with a cargo of 72 tons of coal from Whangarei. She is to leave again to-day for the same port. The Colonial Government revenue schooner Hawk was brought alongside the breastwork at the end of Albert-street yesterday, there to receive some small repairs to her forefoot. The s.s. Macgregor arrived from Whangarei early yesterday morning, and left again last evening , for the same port. On both trips she was well patronised with passengers. The 13. Arawata proceeded down to Drunken Bay yesterday morning, there to awing and adjust her compasses. To-day, at 10 a.m., she is to leave for MotuUpu on the annual excursion given by the Union Steamship Company to the children of the various charitable institutions in Auckland. Sharp to time, the R.M.S.S. Mariposa was got away by the Union Steamship Company on her journey to San Francisco, calling en route off Tatuila and at Honolulu. She was fairly patronised with passengers, but not so well with cargo, although in the matter of mails she took an unusually heavy one. The Mariposa was in excellent order and trim, and Captain Hay ward was confident of his being able to make the run home well'within the time allowed him by tbe contract. The brigantine Nora came into harbour last night from Danedin, with a cargo of grain, ice. Captain Murchison reports having sailed from the port named on the 20th January last, with 8. W. winds, which a few hours afterwards died away to a calm, which lasted for a couple of days ; thence very thick, dirty weather, and northerly winds, with heavy rain, until the East Cape was rounded on the Ist Last. ; thence easterly winds to arrival. Shortly after the arrival of the brigantine Nora, the brigantine Oamille came into harbour, ■he also being from the same port, Dunedin. The Oamille left Bunndin on the 20th ult., and in the matter of weather it proved very similar to that reported by Captain Murchison. Both vessels are to be berthed to-day to land their cargoes. The barque Wenona came into harbour last night and being from what is called " an infected port" she was forced to bring up oS the quarantine bulk there to av> ait the visit of the Health Officer. All on board are well, and Captain Davies informs us thao Newcastle was left on the 16th ultimo with strong N.E. winds which lasted for the first eight days, when variable winds with heavy rain and squally weather let in, and held to the vessel until the North Gape was made on Saturday last; thence light variable winds and calms to arrival. The barque's carpo of coal comes to the order of the Union S.S. Co. The steamship Ringarooma is to be kopt on on the trade between this port and Dunedin, calling at the usual East Coaet ports for the future. Her dates of departure from her* will be on Mondays, as will be seen on reference to the special advertisement polished elseThe* schooner Jeesie Niocol, from Lyttelton, arrived last night, and anchored off the Bastion, from where she will come up harbour to-day, and be berthed at the Queen-street Wharf to land her cargo. Lyttelton was left on the 22nd nit and the East Cape was rounded on the last* day of the month, Variable winds prevailed throughout.

1 The schooner Columbia from Gisborne came into harbour kit night with bat a small cargo. Qisborne was loft three days back, and fine Weather prevailed through the trip. The eohboner Agnes Donald has gone from Giibome to Wnangarei, there to load pool for Auckland. She was in company with the ecbooner Columbia off nl«yor'» Island. The barque Brunette, 379 tons, CUpUin Turnball, left Newcastle on the 25th nit. for Auckland, with a cargo consisting of 530 torn of coal. The barque Rapldo, 299 tone, Captain Davey, was on the berth loading cod for Auckland on the 26th ult. She was to mil about the 29th ult., The brigantine Maria Virginia was also to leave the same port for Auoklaud, with coal, about the 30th alt. ARRIVAL OF THE TONGARIRO. The Now Zealand Shippiug Company'* steamship Tongariro made another appearance in this harbour from London yesterday, arriving at Ip.m.. having en route called at Capetown, and off Dunedin and Wellington. At the latter port the Tonftariro landed the mails for Southern ports, and also 100 passengers, the balance (98) being brought on to this port. When the Tonnariro last came into this port she did so in the midst of a strong N.E. gale and heavy rain, but yesterday her advent was under much more favourable olsoumatanoee, a bright clear sunny day favouring her visit, and its effects upon her pusengera were most favourable, the beauty of the harbour and its surroundings being «he theme of admiration of all on board. Like other trips of the sister vessels of this popular line of steamships, the one just concluded of the Tongariro has proved a most pleasant one, the passengers all speaking in the very highest terms of the courtesy and attention extended to them by the officers, from Captain Bone downwards— in fact, the trip is spoken of more as a yachting cruise than simply one of pure business relation*. The fineness of the weather met with during the run out added greatly to the enjoyment of the trip ; and to break the monotony of the sea voyage, concert*, balls, etc., were got up in quick succession, and proved most successful, the gaieties of the trip winding up with a fancy dress ball, which was given on Thursday evening last. On that occasion the utmoit resources of the ship were brought into requisition, mid the result waa such as to surprise the expectations of the most sanguine. The following are a few of the characters represented —Undergraduate. Mrs. Otterson; Galatea, Mr». Parke; Little Ked Riding Hood, Miss Stephenion; lu'ian Flower Girl, Miss Dreyfm; Flower Girl and Butterfly-catcher, MUses Young; Gentleman of the|lßth Century, Captain Bone. "The long of it," Mr. Woodicate; Knight of the Garter, 18th Century. Mr. E. A.. Findlay; Boatswain, Mr. Burke; Chimpanzee, Dr. Lyons. Since last here there been a few changes in the personnel of the officers of the steamers, the chief being in that of the surgeon, and in the 3rd, 4th, and sth engineers. The officers now associated with Captain Bone are : Ist oitioer, Mr. E. A. Findlay ; 2nd officer, Mr. F. M. Bloxam ; 3rd officer, Mr. N. A. Raljton; 4th offioer, Mr. W. A. Holland; surgeon, Mr. 0. Gardiner; purser, Mr. N. W. Burlinson; chief' engineer, Mr. "W. Waring; 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and sth, Messrs. J. S. Robertson, R. Afflict, R. Beatts, and G. Thomson respectively. The refrigerator engineer is Mr. J. Martln.and the electrician Mr. A. McDonald.and the boilermaker Mr. J. Melvin. The Tongariro comes into port in excellent order, being the model of cleanliness alow and aloft. Captain Bone reports that the Tone»riro left Plymouth at 2.30 p.m. on the 19th December last after having first embarked her passengers and 315 bags of mails ; experienced light winds and line weather across the Bay of Biscay and to Teneriffe, where she arrived at 10 a.m. on the morning of the 24th December. After coaling the Tongariro left again at noon the same date. She had light N.E. trades and fine weather to the equator which was crowed in 9- VV. on the 30th December. From that time until arrival at Capetown the Tongariro had moderate to fresh S.E. trades with fine weather. Capetown was reached at 8.10 a.m. on the Bth January, and after taking in a necessary supply of coal and. provisions, the Tongariro get under way at 8.45 l p.m., again eastward btfund. From this poin* until reaching Danedin, on January. 30 at rl•a.m., the vessel ran through an unusually fine streak of weather with light winds and smooth sea, which proved most acceptable and enjoyable to the passengers. Owing to heav.fi -weather no communication could be held with Dunediu, consequently the Tongmrire proceeded on to Wellington, where she arrived on Sunday last, and, after landing the mails and passengers for there and Southern ports, she left again at 5 p.m. that day for here, fine weather finishing the passage. The Tongariro brought 198 passengers for all ports, of whom 40 were nrst-clats, 59 second, and 99 third. Of these 34 were for Dunedin and 66 for Wellington, th«» balance being for Auckland. As cargo she brings 2200 tons of general merchandise. Of that amount 350 tons are for Danedin, 450 for Lyttelton, 650 for Wellington, and 750 tor here. Owing to the fact that the R.M.s.t. Mwiposa was occupying the outer berth of the Queen-street Wharf, the Tongariro on arrival aid to anchor in the stream, and there th» remained until the departure ef the first named vessel, after which no time was lost in getting the steamer safely berthed at the Qaeea-tUeet Wharf, and the necessary work or preparing for the prompt landing of her cargo for here was at once gone on with. From here the Tongariro is to proceed to London, again calling en route at tbe different principal ports of Ne» Zealand. _ We have to thank Mr. Burlinson for the delivery of our despatches and for other favours,
