Odtwabds coastwise.—Start, cutter, for Waiheke; Mana, cutter, for Tairua, Nellie, eatter, for Whangapoua; Paku, cutter, for Tairua. The schooner Glencairn, from Whangaroa, with a cargo of timber, came into harbour yesterday. The barque Rapido was taken into dock for necessary cleaning and painting preparatory to her proceeding on her voyage to Cambridge Gulf. She is to come out to-day, and the s.s. Clansman will then take her place. The brigantine Oamaru, from Oamaru, arrived in harbour yesterday afternoon with a cargo of potatoes, grain, etc. She was signalled early in the day, but light airs and the ebb tide greatly interfered with the vessel's progress. Oamaru was left on the Bth instant, and the passage throughout has been only noteworthy for the variable and contrary weather met with. The Oamaru is to be berthed at the Qaeen»street Wharf this morning there to land her cargo. Upon the completion of the discharge of her inward cargo, which is to be commenced the first thing this morning, the Oamaru is to go hence to Wellington, and from there on to a Southern port to load a return cargo for this port. The s.s. Wellington, for Russell and Northern porta, Glenelg for Tauranga, and Argyle for Mercury Bay and Tairua, took their departure last evening with passengers and cargo. Quite unexpectedly the new stsamer Eahu, belonging to Napier, came into harbour yesterday, shortly atter one o'clock, dropping anchor to the westward of the Queen-street Wharf. A day or two back we announced the arrival of the Kahu at Melbourne, and at the same time gave a description of the vessel, as kindly supplied by Captain Braddick. It was then arranged that the Kahu was to go from Melbourne to her owner's port (Napier) direct, and with that intention Captain Braddick left Melbourne on the 10th inst.,but meeting with heavy S.B.E. gales and high seas, which prevented the steamer being taken through Cook's Straits, and being short of provisions, Captaia Braddick determined to come north about, hence hit* arrival here. The North Cape was rounded on Sunday afternoon last at 2 o'clock, and down the coast fine weather prevailed. The Kahu, It may be mentioned, (".. owned by Mr. G. Richardson, of Napier, * end it is Captain Braddiok'a intention to resume his passage to that port to-day. With the bringing out of ■mall steamers to New Zealand Captain Braddick's name is now being closely connected, the previous one brought by him to this port being the s.B. Clansman, one the Northern Co,'a fleet, and in this duty Captain Braddiok Iβ proving himself saost successful, the Kahu, hie last and smallest charge, being but 118 days from London for this port, including detentions at Madeira, Capetown, Albany, and Melbourne. This good result reflects very highly upon Captain Braddick's ability, the more particularly when we have to notioe the excellent order in which all his charges arrive. The Kahu is in capital trim, and shows no signs of her long ocean journey. The vessel is intended for the East Coast trade, and for such she should prove herself to be weli Adapted—being of large carrying power, with a Hghc draught of water. The cutter Leo gue.) fioui here to Wairoa, in Hawke's Bay. Kα route ahu is to call at Mercury Bay to load theie U3.U00 feet of timber.

I The barque Oelestla goes hence today to Mercury Bay. There she is to load timber for Sydney. .. , The Union Oo.'e i.e. Waihora, from Melbourne, via Hobart and Southern ports, came into harbour at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon with cargo and passengers. Owing to the dredger occupying the berth <hat was intended for the e.g. Waihora some two hours' delay was caused in the berthing of the Union Co.'s boat, as at the time the dredger was eDgaged taking in some heavy lifts from under the large crane, and they could not be duposed of on board in time to permit of the Waihora being berthed as speedily as U usually the oase with the vessels of this company's line. Of the passage we learn that the Waihora left Melbourne at 5.15 p.m. on the 6th inst., passed through Port Phillip Heads at 7.45 p.m., breasted Swan Island at 3.15 p.m. next day, rounded Cape Pillar at 6.40 ».m. on the Bth, arriving at Hobart wharf at 9 a.m. on that date. Sailed again at 5.15 p.m., breasted the Solanders at 7 a.m. *n the lJth, and made fast to Bluff wharf at noon same day. Left again same day at 4.40 p.m., called at the usual way ports, reaohing here aa above. From Melbourne to Hobart experienced thenee fine weather, with heavy, confused sea, till the night of Saturday fortnight, when the Waihora eucountered a heavy N.E. gale, aocompanied by heavy seas and thick rain, continuing until arrival at Bluff. Up the coast variable winds and moderate seas were experienced. Left Gisborne on the 18th at noon. Experienced from thence to arrival fresh northerly breeze, with moderate sea. By the P. and O. Oo.'e e.e. Rome, which recently arrived at Sydney from London, Messrs. Heburn and Jloss were passengers for Auckland, and Mr. C. S. Jaoob for Dunedin. On June 4 the rate of freights ruling at London for Auoklaud were :—By sail: Measurement (rough), 27s 6d to 30s; ditto (fine), 30a to 32s 6d; weight, 255; bottled beer, earthenware and glassware, 27s 6d ; cement, 5a per cask; bulk beer, 45s per 4 hhds. By steam: Measurement (rough), 50s; ditto (fine), 60s to 70s; weight, 40s; bottlod beer, earthenware and glassware, 50s; cement, 455, weight; bulk beer, 80s per 4 bhds. On the 7th inat. Mr. J. Grant, at present chief officer of the s.s. Ohau, and who has for many years been conneoted with the Union S.S. Go., was married to Miss Alice Young, second daughter of Mr. John Young, of Napier. Upon the happy occasion Captain Bernich and the offioers and crew of the Ohau presented Mr. Grant with a very handsome tea and coffee service. TfaoK.M.s.s. Mariposa, from Sydney en route to San Francisco, with the homeward Australian mails, came into harbour last evening at seven o'clock, and at 2 p.m. to-day she is to iesume her voyage, first receiving the New Zoaland mails, passengers, and cargo. Upon the present occasion the Mariposa comes into port very well patronised with passengers, and also with through cargo. Immediately on arrival the steamer was berthed at the Queen-atreet Wharf, and there, after the landing of the mails and passengers for this port was accomplished, the work of taking in coal was started and continued throughout the night, and it is intended to proceed with the coaling until close up to the time of the steamer's sailing. This is being done in consequence of there being no cargo at Honolulu awaiting the steamer. Captain Hayward, therefore, received instructions to take in here as much ooa.l as possible, to a&vo receiving supplies at Honolulu, where coal is considerably higher in price than here or at Sydney. As will be seen from Captain H»yward'a report, the passage from Sydney has been a moderately fine-weather one, and the passengers appear to have eDjoyed the trip exceedingly well. The Mariposa, upon the present occasion, left Sydney on the 15th instant at 5.5 p.m., rounded the North Cape at 4 a.m. on the 19th, arriving here as above. Moderate S.E. winds with heavy swell were met with until making the New Zealand coast, thence tine weather to arrival. We have to thank Mr. K. G. Macdonald, the purser, for the prompt delivery of our files, and for other favours. The following is a list of the passengers booked at this port for San Francisco by the Mariposa:—Messrs. J. E. Pearson, D. G. Barkley, Mrs. A. Jameson, Misses Hutton and Oliphant, Mrs. Harcourt and 2 children, Miss J. Brown, Messrs. Dittrich, Pratt, Norris, McEenzie, Langdown, Flint, Mrs. Holloway and family (2), Rev. R. K. Kestell Cornish, Business was so brisk with the pilots yesterday that at midday they were both in Auckland, Captain Sainty having brought into harbour the s.s. Kahu, and Captain Cooper the Aorangi. As the mail boat Mariposa was expected to arrive at any moment Mr. H. Parker, of H.M.B. Customs, placed at their disposal the Customs steam launch, and Captains Sainty and Cooper were enabled to get away again down the harbour at good speed, arriving outside Rangitoto reef in time to anticipate the Uaripoia's arrival. The brigintine Oceola left Newcastle on the 12th instant for Lyttelton, and the same day the barque Loongana left for Hobart. The brigantine Clansman arrived at Sydney on the 9th instant from Circular Head.

ARRIVAL OF THE AORANGI. Once more the New Zealand Shipping Company's steamship Aorangi has arrived in this port from London, and upon the present occasion she has quite outdone all her other previous performances, arriving here yesterday at about 1 o'clock, although according to her timetable she is not due at her first New Zealand port of call (Dunedin) until to.day. This smart run has been taade, too, in spite of her having left Plymouth a day behind time. Her date for leaving Plymouth was set down for the sth June, but it was not until 8 o'clock the next morning that the Aorangi managed to get away on her journey, and, reaching off Port Chalmers at 11 p.m. on the loch instant, she oompassed the distance, including all stoppages, in 39 days 3 hours and 30 minutes. After landing mails and passengers at that port she again started at 5 o'clock on the morning of the 16th, and, after arriving at Wellington, and taking in a supply of coal, she left there at 5.10 p.m. on the 17th instant, arriving here after a tine weather passage along the coast, as mentioned above. Owing to the state of the tide, and there not being sufficient water at the Railway Wharf, the Aorangi was forced to drop anchor in the stream, but this morning she is to be berthed, and then the work of landing her Auckland cargo will be commenced. For here she has some 500 tons of cargo, and a small quantity for Gisborne and Napier ; and having bat a small quantity of kauri gum, kc., to take in as homeward freight, it is expected that she will be able to resume her paseage to-morrow, her next port of call being Wellington, Upon the present trip the Aorangi comes well patronised with passengers, and they all speak in most glowing terms of tho passage, the ship, and those in command, everything possible having been done by Captain Turpin and his officers to promote the comfort of those under their charge. As to the vessel hersolf, sho, like all the other steamships of this popular line, has been brought into port in excellent and clean order, a fact that reflects very highly upon those in charge. Of the paseage we learn that Plymouth was left on the morning of the 6th June, and that light head winds accompanied the vessel to Maderia, where she arrived on the 10th. After taking in coal she left again the same day, and had moderate trades and fine weather to the Cape of Good Hope, which was reached on the morning of tho 20th Jnne. That place was left again the same night, after having landed and embarked passengers and mails. The eastings were run down on the parallel of 45' S., and this part of the passage was remarkable only for the fine weather that prevailed throughout. As showing the good work done by the Aorangi we may mention that the average speed maintained by the steamer from London to Dunedin was 334 miles per day ; and it is here worthy of note that the Aorangi has now completed four voyages, and her average shows 39 daye 17 hours per voyage, work of which Captain Turpin may be justly proud. Associated with Captain Turpin in the management of the Aorangi are the following officers: —Chief officer, Mr.G. Soru'cz; 2nd officer, Mr. F. Stabl9 ; 3rd officer, Mr. W. Willioe; 4th officer, Mr. S. Baumparker; surgeon, Dr. A. T. Perkins; chief engineer, Mr. W. C. Martyn; 2nd engineer, Mr. D. 13. Hutton ; and Air. VV. K. Palmer still retains the onerons position of purser, and to that gentleman wo are indebted for the prompt delivery of our files and other favours.
