The Mararoa was expected to reach Auckland by Monday night, but the heavy and adverse weather so interfered with the vessel's progress that it was not until early in the afternoon of yesterday that the vessel was able to make her appearance in this port. Of the voyage we learn that the Mararoa left Sydney at 5 p.m. on the 16th nit.; cleared Port Jackson Heads at 5.30 p.m. ; passed the Three Kings at 4 p.m. on the 20th, and arrived as above. Experienced strong head winds and a heavy head sea throughout. At noon to-day the Mararoa is to proceed on to Southern ports and MelbourneThe tug Black Diamond towed the threemasted schooner Jessie down from the Sugar Works yesterday morning. During the day she was placed in dock for cleaning, etc. The three-masted schooner Veering is to go from this port to the Thames, there to load with timber for Melbourne. To-day, at an early hour, the barque M»ry E. Greenwood is to go hence for New York. She Ib too be towed out of port by the s.s. Awhina. The steamship lonic, from London, via Hobart, was expected to put in an appearance yesterday afternoon, but up to a late hour this morning there were no signj of the vessel. This delay no doubt arises from the fact of her meeting with very heavy and adverse weather on her passage across from Hobart. The Mararoa, on her passage from Sydney, had such adverse weather as to necessitate her engines being slowed down for the greater part of her voyage. The s.s. Hauroto, for Sydney, and the Glenelg, for Tauranga, both left last evening, with cargo and passengers. The cutter Deveron, recently purchased by Mr. Donald Sinclair, pilot at Lyttelton, reached that port from here on the 3rd inst. The cutter is for the future to be engaged out of the port named in the deep sea fisihng trade. After a negotiation extending over some days, the directors of the Australasian Steam Navigation Company on the 7th instant, accepted an offer of the Queensland Steam Shipping Com p. y (British India) for the purohase of their fleet. The amount of the purchase-money it is stated is £200,000, but a large quantity of stores belonging to the various steamers, and some new machinery, is also to be taken at a valuation. The purchasing company will thus have to pay altogether between £220,000 and £230,000. The purohasesmoney will in the first Instance be raised in England, and immediately after the offer was accepted, arrangements were entered into for having it transmitted to the colony as soon as possible. If the money is sent out by cable the Queensland Shipping Company (British India) will commence to take delivery of the A.S.N. Company's steamers within a few days, but if the matter is otherwise arranged they will not enter Into possession for some weeks. The whole of the purchase money is to be paid upon the steamers being handed over to the new owners at the various terminal ports.
