Macgregor, from Whangaroi, came info harbour early yesterday morning, and last evening left again for tho s.iiue place. Upon U'pon both trips ehe was well patronised with i>a ssecgers. The a.s. Arayle, for Mercury Bay, »lio took her departure last evening, Yesterday morning at about halt-past eleven, t'je N.Z.S. Co. H.M. steamer Kaikoura— i.aving then completed tho landing of her Auckland cirgo from home—proceeded to »ha, 'cound for Wellington and other Southern ports. Her departure was witnessed by a largo number of people who were on the wharf at the time. The schooner Fanny Thornton came into harbour yesterday from Samoa, having en route called at Lefuka. In addition to bringing a cargo of copra," she r.lso brings one passenger, and from Captain Edwards wo learn that Lefuka was left on the Bth instant with tine •weather, -which continued for the first two days, af te;r which the nchooner had a succession of southerly winds, which lasted for ten days without intermi33ioE, acd during that time come very rough weather was fallen in with, and the uchooci-r lost her foresail and several of her emalier sails. The remainder of tho paeaage ■was clone in line weather. The schooner will bo berthed at the Queen-street Wharf to-day. The barque Waiuiea is expected to bo a full vessel, and nail for London by the middle of tho ensuing weak. The N.Z.S. Cc.'s K.M. steamship Rimutaka, bonce for L»r<doD, wr.s due at Rio de Janeiro yesterday. The schooner Saxon was taken alongside the barque Luttarworth, for the purpose of transhipping her cargo of manganese for London. The N.Z.S. Co.'s steamship Tongariro is to arrive here ».bout the sth of July ntxt, for the purpose of loading for London. At present the only shipment to be made by the vessel, so far as known, will be about 200,0001b of frozen meat, and as that will hardly pay the vessel to come here, for, therefore it is to bo hoped thit shippers will do their utmost to encourage the visits of the steamers of this iine by giving to them as much of their cargo as possible. The schooner Queen, from the Manukau, reached Hokianga yesterday niorniDg. The barque Caberfoidh, from Dunedin for this port, sidled on Friday morning with a cargo of grain, &c. The brigantine Oceola left the Thames for Brisbane on Thursday evening last. ft It is evident that the Union Company are determined to enter the field as carriers of goods and pasjengers to the new Kimberley goldlip.lds, for they are announcing the B.a. Hero to uail from Southern ports, calling at Auckland about June 20, Intending passengers are desired to at once make 'application, and pay deposit, to secure berths. The barque Kotero ie also to be placed on the berth from this port, sailing about June 30, and it ia likely that smother vc;ai!bl will also be announced during the next few dajs, bo that shippers and paseongerH have plenty of vessels to choc from. Mesurs. Seegner, Langguth, and Co. aro the agents fort ho barque Sidlaw, now on her way from Hamburg direct, and fully due. This is the second vessel that has come out to the consignment of this enterprising firm —the barque Levuka having visited hure in November of last year — and it is not unlikely that Mesare. Soegner, Langguth, and Co. will havn another vessel laid on at Hamburg to foilow the Sidlaw. The brig Niagara, in tow of tho a.s. Awahina, left for \\ hangaroa yesterday morning, there to load timber for Sydney. The following voneels left Hokianga yesterday morning :— Loch Naw, barque, for Melbourne ; Lizzie Guy, brigantine, for Wangunui ; and ■chooner Orma—carrying the Gorman flag—for Sydney. They all took cargoes of timber. The following is a list of the passengers that have already booked at this port for Sydney by the R.M. Hteamehip Alameda, which resumes her voyage to-day : —Mesdames Hancock, Pierce and child, Messrs, Eolden, Howard, Haetenaten, J. U. Jacobs, F. C. Kerry, Phillips, W. Barnes, Kirkwood, Caldicott, Dr. Pierce, Air., Mrs., and Miss-Leader, Miss Brett. Lieutenant Mailen, &Ir. and Mrs. Paget, and 15 in the steerage. KAIPARA TOWAGE. TO THE EDITOR. SlK,— To those that know the facts, the recent mishap to the Defiance, and consequent loss to insurance companies, is inexcusable. It ie well known that crossing the bar by Bailing veseela is not by any means a safe thiug to do, and the need of a powerful tug was, some time ago, pressed on the attention of the Northern River Steam Company, who supplied the desideratum. Time after time the captain of the Defiance was offered the use of the tug at very moderate rates, but ■with a foolhardineas and a disregard of consequences wiiich, in justice to insurers, ought not to be passed over without publicity, this

yentureiorae maet.u- ridioulnd the offer, and now those unhappy shareholders of our not too prosperous insurance companies haroto pay for hie penny wise and pound foolUh iduae. Recently the Star of the Mersey, just nignalled for the tug in time to eare n, serious loss, and in view of the habit of trusting to chance in a happy-go-lucky style, now so obsorvablo with masters of Kaipar* trading vessels, it would, I think, be well for the companies to in»ist on the services of the tug being availed of, otherwise it is on the cards that the steam company withdraw the oniy absolute Assurance against possibly very serious loaees.—l am, etc., giNSUKER.
