Rotomahana, which arrived at three o'clock yesterday ■morning from Sydney, was yesterday busily , ngaged in discharging her inward cargo. She left the Company's wharf at Sydney at 4.15 p.m. on the 6th, and passed the Three Kings .'at 7.30 a.m. on the 10th, rounded the North . Cape four hours later, and passed Cape Brett • at. half-past five ' the same evening, and arrived as above. 5 The weather was dull, with light and variable winds till Sunday, when heavy winds from the nor'-west were experienced. The Rotomahana proceeds South at noon to-day. . . From Sydney advices we learn that the tea steamers,Tsinan-Changsha, and Chingtu were to leave Hong Kong for Sydney about the Bth, 18th, ana 30th inst. respectively. The direct tea steamer Taiyuan will be the first opportunity for forwarding New Zealand cargo and . passengers to Chinese ports.- ~ 'i. " The only arrival in port yesterday was the schooner Opotiki, which arrived with a cargo of hay, chaff, etc., from Gisborne. The captain reports that the Opotiki left Gisborne on June 28, and had a moderate S. W. breeze until the 30th, when it increased to a gale, and the schooner : had "to seek shelter in Hicks's Bay. Last Saturday another S.W. gale sprang up, and the Opotiki was obliged to make for Iryphena Harbour. The balance of the trip was characterised by moderate winds alternating with calms. From Messrs. T. and S. Morrin and Co., the local agents of the dismasted ship Killochan, we learn that Captain Manson anticipates that the cargo of the vessel has received no damage from the severe weather in which the ship was injured. , The Killochan is owned by Messrs. J. Kerr and Co., of Greenock, who are apparently in bad luck's way just now, as another of "their ships, the Berbice, was recently lost at Newcastle.

The tenders for the discharging of the barque Coulnakyle were opened yesterday, and the contract was secured by Mr. F. E. Compton. The work will be commenced .with all possible despatch. The following passengers have booked at London for New Zealand ports, in addition to the lists previously published : — R.M.s. Ormuz (to leave 011 June 8): For Port Chalmers, Mrs. G. H. Oatway and child ; for Port Lyttelton, Mr. A. Downes; for Wellington, Mr. G. Alden. - A passenger who was on board the P. and O. steamer Garonne, when she recently ; . collided with another vessel in the Red Sea, j writes " I took a long time to come out, as I was in the Garonne, which got smashed up in the Red Sea, and we had a very narrow squeak with our lives. The other vessel sank in ten minutes. Two hands were lost. For half an hour we expected to go down any minute, as the forepart was full of water, and it was doubtful if the bulkhead would hold. The boats would not have taken very many more than half the ship's complement, and the balance would have made shark's meat. The sharks, however, though they rolled up in large numbers, were greatly disappointed. J.he following day and a-half was an anxious time, and the heat terrific—lOOdeg in the shade, and all hands at work lifting cargo and carrying it to the quarter-deck, and also the ship s cables. One could not stand it for much more than 20 minutes at a time, and S/™ * a y down and wish to die for ten minutes, but • ice r and limejuice and water, mW£ 8 3 1C1 ° ° f r ?I"' cheered our fainting spirits, and one could turn to again, though 3onffr^ C ? ked i and con vulsionb from heat and overwork.
