THE ASHLEIGH BROOK. On Tuesday morning, June 5, the signal station at North Shore conveyed intelligence to town that a large steamer was inside Tiri. The vessel was at once put down to be the Colonial Union Shipping Company's Ashleigh Brook, from London via Sydney, and shortly after 7 o'clock that steamer came round the North Head in charge of her master, Captain Fanquier, and was berthed at the Railway wharf an hour or so later. This is the second occasion on which the Ashleigh Brook has been in the port, her previous visit being in December last. She is a tine, wholesome iron screw steamer, and is a comparatively new vessel, being built by Messrs. Pearsc and Co., of Stockton-on-Tees", in 1882. Her principal dimensions are :—325 feet in length, 38 feet in breadth, and 25 feet 6 inches in depth, her net register tonnage being 1925 tons, and gross measurement 2927 tons. She is divided by bulkheads into four watertight compartments, and is double-bottomed to allow ox her carrying about 450 tons of water ballast. The engines of the vessel were manufactured by Messrs. Blair and Co., and are on the ordinary compound principle.

ARRIVAL OF THE MERCIA. On Monday. June 11, the signal station at the North Shore gave information that a barque was outside Tiri. and the stranger proved to be the Mercia, from. London, which was brought into the harbour by the tug Awhina, and cast anchor at the powder ground at 3 p.m. The Mercia is a shapely iron vessel of 751 tons, owned by Mr. P. Hick, of Scarborough, and chartered by the New Zealand Shipping Co. She is under the command of Captain T. Mosey, who was in charge of her when she last visited this port about nine years ago. Since then the Mercia was trading for six years between London and the Southern ports of the colony, and recently made a couple of trips to Australia, to Oregon, and the West, Coast of America. She brings a valuable cargo of general merchandise, including 5 tons of explosives.

THE R.M.S.S. ARAWA. After an absence of nearly two years from this port the magnificent direct-liner Arawa, carrying the well-known tlag of the Shaw, Saville, and Albion Company, arrived in port on Thursday, June 6, about half-past nine a.m. As on her former trip to this port, Captain John Stuart is commander of the Arawa, and his officers are the same as on her last visit, save that Dr. A. Campbell is surgeon, ami Mr. George Row purser. To the latter officer we are indebted for prompt delivery of files, tec, and the following Report of the vessel's trip :—The Arawa leit London on April 19th with 134 passengers ; left Plymouth on April 21st: readied Teneriffe on April 26th, landed five passengers, and left at 5 p.m. on the same day; crossed the Equator on May 2nd in 9'32 W., and meridian on May »ith in 13' S. ; reached Capetown on May 12th, landed five passengers and embarked 12, left at 5 p.m. on same day. Had a fair passage across the Southern Ocean, chiefly W. and N.W. winds with hazy weather. Passed s.s. Fifeshire on May 24th, for Adelaide. On May sth Mrs. Lusk, third-class passenger, gave birth to a son. On May 17th John Nugent, a third-class passenger for Sydney, died from cerebral hemorrhage. Throughout the passage the usual amusements, concerts, dances, etc., enlivened the time, and lightened the voyage. She arrived at Hobart on May 31st, landing 72 passengers for Australia and 350 tons of cargo. She brings 64 passengers and 1800 tons of cargo for New Zealand. The Arawa left Hobart on June Ist, and had a very rough passage across, heavy east gale and bead seas being experienced. The Arawa left again for her return journey, via Wellington, on the 9th.

At an early hour on Friday, May 25, the well-known island trader, the three-masted schooner Maile, arrived from the Islands with a cargo of fruit, etc., and several passengers. Captain Lane, her master, reports of the round trip that he left Auckland on March 30 and arrived at Tonga on April 6, having had fine weather and fair winds during the whole of the passage. The Maile called at the various islands of the group, and arrived at Apia on April 22, leaving on May 3 for Vavau, from which she sailed on the 12th inst. for Auckland with a fine fresh breeze, which gave out in 22deg S. Since that time.S.W. winds brought the vessel to port. On Friday, June Bth, the signal station at Mount Victoria gave notice of the approach of a British man-o'-war, and about 4 o'clock the screw surveying vessel Egeria came round the North Head, and anchored in the stream off the Railway Wharf. Since she was here in April last the Egeria has been engaged in taking soundings between the New Zealand coast and Tongatabu, and returns to this port for coal and orders. Captain Aldricn states that the trip was void of incident, and moderate and good weather prevailed the most of the time. The Egeria brings a mail to this port from Tongatabu, which was left on the 29th May, the voyage thus occupying ten days. She will make but a short stay of about ten days in port, and will then resume her surveying operations.

SHIPPING SUMMARY. During the four weeks since the last mail left, business has been brisker in shipping circles. In the last ten days in May nearly a dozen sailing vessels of considerable tonnage arrived, the majority being from Australian ports and Islands with coal or produce. The barquentine Elinor Vernon, with kerosene, &c, from New York via Wellington ; and the barque Essex, from the sameport via Sydney, came in on the 21st and 22nd May respectively. The former left for New York on the 16th instant with a full cargo of gum, valued at £20,451 , and the latter is to replace her on the vacant berth. On the 25th of May the R.M. s.s. Zealandia came in with European mails, leaving the same day for Sydney. The Colonial Union Shipping Co.'s s.s. Ashleigh Brook, from London with a quantity of general cargo, arrived on the 6th instant, and after a two days' stay proceeded South, where she loads with frozen meat. She was followed next day by the R.M. s.s. Arawa, which brought general merchandise, sailing on the Bth for Wellington, having shipped 550 cases gum and aquantity of preserved meat andwool for London. The snip Oamaru.which had been loading for London, got away on the '"th inst. with 600 tons of local products, the approximate values of which are: Gum, £12,189 ; wool, £3444 ; tallow, £1688 ; flax, £980 ; grass seed, £300; manganese, £236 ; preserved meats, £1920 ; oleme.etc., £257 ; bark, £255; leather, £126; sundries, £134 pelts, £127 : total, £21,656. She completes at Wellington. H.M.s. Egeria arrived on the Sth, after a six weeks' surveying cruise between this coast and Tongatabu, in the line of the proposed Pacific cable, and is now in port. The barque Mercia, from London, came in 101 days, on the 11th, and is now busily discharging. She will probably load back general cargo here.
