During the past month shipping business has been somewhat quiet, although there has been a very fair demand for vessels of moderate tonnage for timber to Australian ports. One vessel, the Mln, has been chartered to load timber at the Kaipara for a home port, but whioh one has not yet been named, although it is anticipated that the Clyde will be selected. Should suoh be the case it should prove of inestimable value to this part of New Zealand, for our useful shipbuilding timber will be brought immediately under the notice of the largest shipbuilding firms in the world, and this should be the means of bringing large orders for decking and other timbers. The three-masted schooner Sorlne has Bailed for Tonga, there to load—under charter—copra for England. In arrivals wo hare had one from Glasgow —the Helen Denny, and two from London— the Soukar and Pinko. The other arrivals have been from Fiji and Australian ports. The demand for vessels for the north of Queensland, caused by the Kimbsrloy gold* fields rush, has fallen off, the field having proved most disappointing. Shipbuilding Is still very quiet. The putting together of the ferry steamers for the new North Shore Ferry Co. is being rapidly pushed on. One of the boats is already well forward, and it is expected she will be in readiness to take up her running by the Christmas and New Year holidays. A few days baok a new cutter for the seal fishing was launohed from the yards of Messrs. Nioool and Sons, at the North Shore. She is a handsome little vessel of 26 tons register, and has very fine lines for a trading oraft. In another column we give the full list of arrivals and departures at this port, and below we give a list of the principal arrivals and departures at Southern ports. Wellington.—Arrival: October 27, Doric, s.s., 46 days from London. Departure : October 22, Ruapehu, s.s., for London. Lyttelton.— Arrived : October IS, Zealandia, ship, 98 days from London ; November 4, Opawa, ship, 93 days from London. Departure : Ootober 18, Tainui, s.s., for London. DDNKDIN.—Arrival: Mary A. Greenwood, barque, from New York. Bluff.—Ootober 12, Aloestis, barque, from London ; November 1, Gazelle, barque, 99 days from London. ARRIVAL OF THE MARAROA.-RAPID PASSAGE. The Union Co.'s s.S. Mararoa came into harbour on Friday, October 15, from Honolulu and San Francisco, with mails, passengers, and oargo, after the smartest passage on record, the distance having keen accomplished in the short time of 18 days 10 hours and 45 minutes. Suoh a result is a most gratifying one, and shows that the New Zealand owned steamship is well able to hold her own against the fast trips of the Amorican built boats. The Mararoa has, during her trip from San Francisco, maintained an average speed of 330 miles per day. Her highest run was 345 miles, and her lowest 300 miles. Early on Saturday morning the Mararoa proceeded on to Sydney. THE HELEN DENNY. At five o'clock on Oct. 17, the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Co.'s barque Helen Denny again made her appearance in this harbour, she being on the present occasion from Glasgow, her voyage from there occupying 93 days—no mean work as compared with the passages that have been made from home ports by other recent arrivals. In addition to a full general cargo, the Helen Denny brings four passengers. Although some very heavy weather was met with when running down her eastings, the vessel has been brought into port in perfect order, THE PIAKO. On Taesday, Nov. 2, at about 11 o'clock, the signal of a sail in sight outside Tiritiri was run up at the signal station at the North Shore, and about 2 o'olock it was changed to that of a ship in tow. No sooner was this done than it was known that the vessel was the New Zealand Shipping Company's ship Piako, from London. At about 6 p.m. the ship, which had been picked up off the Little Barrier by the Awhlna, came round the North Head, finally dropping anchor at the powder ground. From time to time, as we have received visits from the ships of the well-known New Zealand Shipping Company's line, we have had occasion to draw attention to the excellence of the order and the cleanliness maintained on board, and the good ship Piako proves no exception to that rule. The ship is a perfect picture of neatness, and this in spite of her 98 days at sea. The Piako has a large general cargo valued at £26,900, but upon the present trip brings no passengers. The health of all on board has been excellent, and the trip generally has been one of no special note, excepting that the vessel has been considerably delayed on her passage by very unfavourable weather whilst working down her eastings. THE LUTTERWORTH. The barque Lutterworth cleared at the Customs on Saturday, October 16, for London, bat did not sail until the following Thursday, when she departed with a favourable breeze. She took from here the following cargo :— Kami Gum—2so6 c»ses, 203 tons - _ £11,693 Tallow—332 c»aks, 112 i tons .. .. 2,10!) Wool— 83 bales, 24,6131 us .. - .. 1,353 Flax— 445 bale», 61J tons . .. .. 852 Pearlshell-177 cases, 12J tons .. .. 840 Cotton-37 bales, 16.287163 457 Cotton Seel—l 7 tons .. _ .. 34 Copra— tons .. .. .. _ 250 Tinned Mullet—lso cases .. .. .. 210 Bones and Horns.. .. _. .. 70 Sundries .......... 60S Total value .. _ „ - £18,344 THE SOUKAR. The Soukar, from London, arrived in port on Oot. 21. Off Tiritiri the ship was met by the pilot cutter Seagull, and Captain Sainty was there taken on board, and under his guidance the ship came into harbour the same day. In addition to a large general oargo the Soukar brings 28 passengers, all of whom have arrived in excellent health. No sooner was the anchor down than Mr. H. Parker, of H.M. Customs, stepped on board, and, learning that there was no sickness on the vessel, at once granted pratique. The Soukar is not a stranger to this port nor is her worthy commander, although neither has been hitherto a frequent visitor. The last time Captain Croker visited Auckland was some fifteen years ago. He was then seoond officer of the ship Helenslee. Shortly before being picked up by Pilot Sainty, Captain Oroker had the pleasure of exchanging signals with the barque Lutterworth, outward bound from here to London. The barque was bowling along before a fine favouring breeze. The present trip of the ship can hardly be termed a rapid one, but it has, taken throughout, been a very pleasant one for the passengers, who appear to have enjoyed themselves thoroughly, and they all speak In high terms of praise of the oare and attention shown to them by those in oommand. Notwithstanding the length of her passage the ship has been brought into port in most excellent order and reflects very great credit upon Captain Croker and his officers. The ship's passage has occupied 110 days, of which 42 days were taken in reaching the Equator. From there to the Cape of Good Hope, 22 days; from the Cape to' Tasmania, 32 days ; and from the lastnamed plaoe 14 days have been taken to reaoh port. On Monday, Nov. 1, Mr. Geo. Nicool launched from the well known shipbuilding yards of Messrs. Niccol and Sons, North Shore, a handsome little cutter, which has been built to the order of Mr. George Williams, of Inveroargill. The cutter is a fine specimen of the shipbuilders' art, and wherever she trades will do oredit to the port of Auckland. The cutter should prove a smart craft under canvasin fact speed appears to have been kept closely in view in her modelling, for she has more the appearance of a yaoht than of a trading vessel. The cutter, whioh was christened the Heather Bell, is of 49 feet on the keel, 15 feet beam, and 8 feet 6 inches depth of hold, clear; She will register about 27 tons. The cutter is intended for the seal fishing. Taken altogether the Heather Bell is a most creditable piece of work, and reflects very highly upon her builders. On Nov. 2, Mr. C. Bailey launohed a handy little steam launch, whioh he has completed to the order of Mr Yeomans of Albert-street. The little craft, which is a most creditable pieoe of workmanship, and has in her the best of material, is of similar design to the last one built by Mr Bailey for the same gentleman. She is of 30 feet in length and 6 feet beam. She is fitted with very compact little engines of the high pressure surface condensing principle, and they are expected to give the vessel a speed of about 7 knots.
