Captain Fairchild, of the Government Steamer Hinemoa. which vessel waa the bef.rer 'of the inward English mail, on Wednesday morning, informs us that owing to the great advantage of the leading lights at theM>nuItau Heads, he w*s able to cross the bar at 12 o'clock at night, with (he result that the mails were delivered in Auckland just 12 hours earlier than they would have been had there been no lights for his guidance over the dreaded bar, The brigantine Magellan Cloud entered outwards at the Customs yfsteTday for Levaka. She is to sail with the cargo of the sohoonei Jessie Nicool, which recently put back here in a leaking condition. - The Union Company's s.s. Te Anan took hei departure for Southern ports and Melbourne yesterday, shortly after midday. She was verj fairly patronised with passengers, ami her de part.ure was witnessed by a largo cumber ol people, who had assembled on the wharf foi (hut putposs, At 1L a.m. to-day a meeting is to take placc of master mariners and others interested, or board the Union Co.'s s.s. Arawata, for the purpose of arranging matters in connection with the cricket match to be played

to-morrow between tb» master m:uiners anil fin eleven from H.M. Customs. This match is to take place at St. Holier* Bay tomorrow afternoon. The on. lona arrived from Tauracga, Tairua, and Mercury Bay with passengers and cargo, and at 8 a.m. yesterday left again (or the Great Barrier. The French sloop of war Scorpion took her departure for Tahiti yesterday afternoon. "Whilst in harbour here the officers of the vessel were kept very busily engaged in surveying the harbour and its entrance. The schooner Waiapu left for East Coast ports yesterday afternoon wish a full cargo. _ The barque Linclnden, which h is been lying here for the last week or two awaiting something to turn up, has been rewarded for her patience. Yesterday she was chartered to load here with kauri gum for New York. The throe-masted schooner llan da Isle left Mercury Bay for Sydney yesterday, with 230,000 feet timber. This schooner Saucy Kate, from Mmgonui, arrived jes'.efdiy morning, with a cargo con' listing of 25,000 feet timber. The Colonial Government s.s. Stella took her departure on lighthouse duties yesterday morning. The vessel proceeds to Southern porta via the North Cape. The biigantino Stanley, at prossnt at New- ' castle, is to load there for a Southern port, probably Lyttelton. There she is to load grain for Auckland. Yesterday Captain Cromarty and Mr. Stewart the chief officer of the s.s. Arawata, were the recipients of gold lockets, given them by th< Auckland Regatta Committee. It has been found that the Hermione will noi be able to follow hor owner's wishes as to din charging cargo with her own appliances in sucl an efficient manner as its due to the consignee* and owing to a breakdown of her steam wine! yesterday, work had to proceed by hand. I aas now been decided, to avoid possible delay to place the discharging in the hands o Captain John Nearing, who will commence th. out-turn to-day, and use all possible speed ii gutting the balance of the ship's cargo landed. At last the barque Brunette has arrived Ii port from Newcastle with her cargo of coal etc., after having taken 47 days to make th< ■voyage. But this long passage is not any faul of the barque or her officers, for the vesse has hud to contend throughout against such i serins of sever gales, which at times blew witt almost' hurricane force, that had tho Brunetti

'as* with wast and north j oast winds, whioh '.ontii:'.ed up to the 21st, * when they ".ava ..'if?, to the first of the series ( J dirty w. U; er n'tt with, it coming in the i fc pp of a strong BK. gale. This lasted for the ;-sftt 72 hi-a* j, wild the wind then settled [down *g»irt to the N. E., and moderately i tue wea'hjtf was oarried from tho 25th December to the sth January, thus giving the eit-uirs and crew a respite, and enabling then? *i> enjoy their Christmas and New Year at Boa. On the last named date the winds again increased in strength, finally blowing a strong gale from the eastward, and it rapidly increased in strength, accompanied with a heavy sea, until it blew with perfect hurricane force ; and the seas, which were running mountains high, made continuous and complete breaches over the vessel, whioh was hove to. This weather continued for four days without the slightest lull, and the officers did not feel at all hopeful as to what would be the end, if the weather continued much longer, but on the morning of the fifth day the wind hauled more to the northward, and the hurricane commenced to moderate, much to the relief of those on board. During the time the vessel was hove to the baokropes of the jibboom carried away, but tho crew managed to save the mast. A portion of her bulwarks were carried away, and other slight damage was alio sustained. The wind and sea moderating, the vessel was again put on her coarse, fine weather and E.N.E. wind* being carried for the next seven days. On the 24th January again the wind commonoed to increase, ooming out from the S.E. It bl«w very hard, and did not moderate until the 27th, when the vessel was in lat. 32 S. long. 170 E. From thence until sighting the North Cipe tine wsather and a iuccossion of light variable winds, mostly from the N.W. were carried, and down the coast the same weather prevailed, anchor bsing dropped as stated above at 6 p.m, much to the relief of the Brunette's officers and crew. Although tho Brunette, formerly the Pride of the West, was built some 23 years back, her staunchness is amply proved at the present day by the

manner she has passed through her recent trying ordeal. Th» Brunette is an iron vessel and was built in IS®>9 at Deptford, and Is now owned by Mr. J. C. Ellis, of Newcastle. The foreign-going trade of Thames during last month was reprssented by the barque Killarney, inwards from Melbourne, in ballast, and the three-masted schooner Veering, which cleared out for the same port. She took away 32,000 superficial feet of rough sawn timber of the declared value of £160 and 200,000 feet of squared logs of the value of £600. The Peninsula and Oriental S.N. Company have during the past seven years built 82 000 tons steam shipping, at a coit of £2,260,000, and have also laid out considerably over half a trillion in keeping their fleet abreast of the improvements that have from time to time been introduced. Since leaving Sydney on December 16 H.M. 9. Myrmidon first sought for the reported Jerusalem Shoal, which was believed to exist about 36 miles due east of Sydney Heads, but could find no indication of shoal water anywhere about. She then proceeded to Banks'j Straits, where she made a second search for the pinnacle rock on which it is alleged the Walhora struck, but could nowhere find less thin 11 fathoms, j PORT OF ONEHUNGA.
