The brigantine Nora arrived at Oamaru yesterday, after a good passage of eleven days from Newcastle. After landing her cargo of coal the No ra is to load grain at Oama.ru for this port. 'The barque Nicoya is transhipping her cargo til stone at the Railway Wharf into bargee for transmission to the new Calliope Dock. The blocks of stone which are being landed, average from S2owt to 2 tons each, and are of what is known as Victorian Milestone. The ship Soukar is putting out her oargo rapidly and in excellent order—in fact, there is hardly a vessel that has visited this port for some time past that has landed her cargo in better condition. The barque Helen Denny has completed her ballasting, and last evening was taken off from the Railway Wharf. She is to Bail for Pioton during the next day or two. The schooner Reward, from Whangaroa, arrived yesterday morning with a cargo of 83,000 feet timber. The brigantine Nettie is rapidly completing her loading.

Of the passage, Captain Skinner reports that the schooner left Gisborne 15th October, worked the coast up to Anawia on the 18th, had hard gale from N.E., which forced the sohooner to run bsck to Poverty Bay. Left again on the 20th, finished the coast, and rounded the East Gape on the 29th. Worked the Bay of Plenty, and left Raukokore on the 31st. Light northerly and W. winds across the bay, and arrived at Auckland as above. THE REVENUE SOHOONER HAWK. A correspondent " Arctio' writes as follows The action of the Government in withdrawing the revenue cruiser Hawk from active service on the coast of this part of the colony is simply dlsgraoeful, and should be resented strongly by all merchants and others interested in the trade of Auckland, The withdrawal of this vessel from a coast line of over three hundred miles will leave it entirely unprotected and open to all who wish to smuggle or carry on illicit distillation. Although the Hawk may not have made many captures, there is little doubt that the presence of a vessel of this class on the coast has a deterrent effect on those who otherwise would engage in this illicit traffic. It does seem singular that while the Government can afford to keep two steam yachts at a yearly outlay of £12,000, namely the Hinemoa and Stella, and which spend at least 11 months in the year in Southern waters, they cannot afford to keep the Hawk at sea at a yearly outlay of not more than £900, and which does more actual sea work than the other two put together,. and is the class of vessel best adapted for going into the small bays and coves which abound on 1 this part of the coast, where smuggling is likely to be carried on. It is to be hoped that sufficient influence will be biought to bear on the Government to compel them to again put tale vsisol in commission. <
