Yesterday forenoon the outer tee of the Queen-street wharf presented a busy appearance as the Union S.S. Co.'s steamers Alarafoa and Waihora were preparing for their departure, owing to the number of friends who came down to see the passengers on board the vessels. The Waihora got away Tor Melbourne and the South at a few minutes after noon with a goodly number of names on her passenger list and a general cargo. About half-an-hour afterwards the Mararoa, which had on board a few passenger;! for Otago, but which took no cargo, as Bhe is going to be laid up at Port Chalmers, also sailed.

At Mr. G. Lewis' auction mart, at noon to-day, the well-known brigantine Sarah Pile, 114 tons, is to be offered for sale. As Bhe carries a large cargo in proportion to, her tonnage, and has bow ports, she should prove admirably adapted for the timber trade. She Is staunch and well found.
