The German brigantine Gazelle has completed her reloading, and is now ready to Bail. She will likely clear to-day.

Having finished the discharge of her wheat at the Queen-street Wharf the brigantine Anthons was on Saturday afternoon hauled round and placed upon the hard near the Railway Wharf for the purpose of being cleaned. The brigantine Ika Vuka has been berthed at the Railway Wharf, her cargo of coal having been purchased by Messrs. Donald and Edenborough for the s.s. Richmond. On Saturday morning the Northern S.S. Co.'s Staffa, lately # arrived from the West Coast, was placed in the dock for painting and sundry repairs. About a mile from the East Cape the s.s. Suva, which arrived yesterday morning early, sighted a brigantine painted black, apparently bound for Auckland. Owing to

the darkness she was not made out, but will probably be the Eillan Donan, inward bound with wheat. , T From Mercury Bay the s.s. lona came in with passengers and produce on Saturday The Island schooner Maile got away for her round trip on Saturday evening. She takes a large cargo, the details of which appeared in Saturday s Herald, and several passengers.
