At 2.30 p.m. yesterday the R.M.s.s. Mararoa gain got under weigh, and proceeded to sea bound for San Francisco. Upon the present trip the vessel was very fairly patronised by passengers, and in the matter of cargo her list ishowed a considerable improvement upon former tTipj, The day being fine had the effect of attracting a large crowd of people to theQueenatroet Wharf to witness tho sailing tit the steamer. Dariug the afternoon a large number availed themselvos of the opportunity to inspect t'nls tine steamship and her appointment, and the almost universal verdict whs that she whs •one of the finest fitted-up vessels that have as yet visited this port. It will be remembered that a week or two back we mentioned that there was to bo a change in the chief ofricat's and purser's departments, and whilst at Sydney this was made, Mr. Humphries, tho former purser, by desire, being transferred to the intercolonial trade. Ajr. Scott, the chief officer of the Tarawera, was appointed to the same position ou the Mararoa, and Mr. Dalgleieh, the purser of the Tarawera look Mr.Humphries' place. Yesterday morning a most pleasing ceremony took place, viz , the presentation to Messrs. Stott and Dalgleiah from the captain, engineers, and deck officers of the Tarawera, of Bouvenirs in remembrance of the kindly feeling that existed, and the ejteein in which the two gentlemen named are held by their former shipmates. Consequent upan the absence of the Tarawera from Auckland the presentation had to be made by proxy. Both the mementos have suitable inscriptions upon them. In the matter of the personnel of the ofiiceis of the Mararoa two or three other changes were made yesterday. Mr. McCaig, formerly chief engineer of the b.s. Rotomahana, now occupies a similar post on th«: mail steamer, and Messrs. Ed. Uonnell and J. G. Seed occupy the positions of second and third engineers respectively. Dr. Bernard Stevenson has been appointed to the office of surgeon to the vessel, vice Dr. HovulJ, resigned. The s.s. Wellington for Tauranga, Clansman for Russell, Argyle for Mercury Bay, and the Macgregor for Whangarei all took their departure last evening, with car«o and passengers. The schooner Julia Pryce came into harbour early yesterday morning from Rarotonga, with a cargo of oranges, and she was during the day berthed ar, the Queen-street Wharf. Captain Clarke reports too passage, which extended to 22 days, as having been of a very generally lino-weather nature. The schooner Coquette, from Whangaroa, arrived at Sydney on the 18th inst. The s.s. Explorer has been berthed at the Railway Wharf, there to land hor cargo of guano, preparatory to being docked for repairs, etc. The brlgantino Sarah Pile was yesterday taken alongside the barque Lutterworth, theie to take in a supply of ballast. The schooner Waiwera, is to proceed hence early in the ensuing week, for Gisborne. No sooner was the K.M.s.s. Mararoa taken off from theQueen-stroet Wharf yestarday morning, bound away for San Francisco, than Captain Burgess, the harbourmaster, had the steamship Kaikoura underweigh from her anchorage in the stream, and by 3 p.m. she was safely moored at the berth just vacated by the Union boat. Captain Nearing, the New Zealand Shipping Company's stevedore, at one commenced the work of landing the Auckland portion of tho Kaikoura's cargo from London, and good progress was made during the after-, noon and evening. The ship Stracathro, 1159 tons, Captain Eoyd, was un the berth loading at London for this port on the oth of April, under the auspices of the Shaw, Savlll, and Albion Company.

Yesterday at noon Mr. J. Holme*, shipbuilder, of the North Shore, launched a new Htenm yacht to the order of Mr. W. P. Featherstorjß, of Devonpoit. Tho new vessel ie a most excellent npuoiruen of the ship-, builder's art, and reflect great credit upon her builder. The work put into her ha« been of a most faithful charaoter, and the material used has also been of the beat. The vessel was christened the Nautilus, Mr*. Featheratono officiating. Tho Nautilus is of <0 feet length of keel, 13 feet 6 Inches be*m, and 6 feet depth of hold. Her emgines are to be of the compound eurface-oondoneing make, and are fr*m the well-known foundry of Messrs. Price Brothers, of the Tharaea.
