THE SOUTHERN CROSS. On Tuesday, June 26, the signal station at the North Shore gave notice of the approach of the three-masted vessel, but the mission schooner Southern Cross, which was the vessel signalled, did not make the harbour till dusk. She comes last from Norfolk Island, and brings several passengers. Captain Bongard reports of the round trip as follows The Southern Cross left Auckland at 11 a.m. on April 2nd, and arrived at Norfolk Island on the 6th April, after a fineweather passage. A stay of six days was made, the schooner sailing on April 11th for the New Hebrides, with a party of missionaries on board. Banks' Island, Torres' Island, Santa Cruz, and the Solomon Groups were visited. The New Hebrides were reached on April 16th, and leaving again on the 19th, the vessel anchored at Banks' Island on the 20th. Rev. Mr. Culuick was left there, and on the 21st sail was made for Torres Island. The schooner arrived there on the 22nd, and left the same day for Santa Cruz, where Mr. Forest was landed. The Solomon Islands were the next place visited, and were reached on April 28. The Rev. Mr. Comins was put ashore at Ulavu, the Rev. Mr. Plant at Clarida, and Mr. Turnbull at Ysabel Island. On May 2.1 the return voyage was begun, and Santa Cruz being called at on May 29 Mr. Forest was found to be unwell. He was taken on board, and on May 30 the schooner sailed for Banks' Island, which was reached on June 4. On the fifth the Southern Cross shaped her course for the New Hebrides, where she arrived on June 7. The next day she left for Norfolk Island, which was reached on the 20th, and after taking on board passengers for Auckland she sailed for this port on June 21, having experienced very heavy rain during her stay. The North Cape was passed on the 24th instant at 9.30 a.m., and Cape Brett was rounded at 8.30 p.m. the same day. Bream Head was abeam on Tuesday at2.30a.m., and Point Rodney was abreast five hours later. The wind then failed, and harbour was made at 7 p.m.

WRECK OF THE LILLIAN. On the 9th May, at 4 o'clock in the morning, the French schooner Lillian, owned by Captain Piltze, and well-known in Auckland, went on the reef at Mauke, an island of the Harvey Group, and became a total wreck, though all hands were fortunately saved. The Lillian had in her cargo, valued at £800 sterling, and Captain Piltze valued the schooner at £1200, so that he has therefore a loss of £2000, as he was not insured. Captain Piltze and crew were subsequently taken off' Mauke by the Tongan schooner Sandfly, and landed in Rarotonga. The former has gone to Papeete to charter a schooner to continue his trading voyage.

THE JULIA PRYCE LOST. Intelligence came to hand on July 3, by the s.s. Richmond of the loss of the well-known Auckland schooner Julia Pryce, which went ashore on a reef at Itutaki about the Ist of June last, during a heavy gale. Captain Clarke states that the vessel was about half full of copra and limejuice when she was stranded, and as his crew was powerless to shift the schooner, and the natives demanded exorbitant terms for their assistance, he had no option but to dismantle her of all moveables, and sell her. She realised 157 dollars, being purchased by the natives, who were, when the captain left, making inefficient efforts to get her off the reef and repair her. She had six planks stove in on her bilge, and he considered that they would not be able to repair her well enough to.take her to port. IN DISTRESS.—THE COULNAKYLE RETURNS LEAKING.

On Monday, July 3, a barque " inside Tiri" was signalled from the North Shore, and the steam tug Awhina went out, returning about 2 p.m. with the barque Coulnakyle, which had to put back to port, as she had again sprung a leak, and the crew requested the master to return to Auckland. This is the second occasion on which this barque has come into Auckland in distress, as it will be remembered that on the "29th April last the Coulnakyle, while en route from Vavau to Marseilles, was strained to such an extent that she made 'water badly, and came to Auckland to be repaired. After her cargo of 546 tons copra and 63 tons tallow had been discharged, the barque went into dock, and was surveyed by Captains _ Worsp and Clayton, under whose direction Mr. C. Bailey made some slight repairs, _ and the vessel was reloaded, and sailed for Lisbon on the 12th June last in a presumably sound condition, though rumours were even then afloat that she was making water,and required a far more extensive overhaul than she had received before being thoroughly fit for a long sea voyage. How she fared is best told in Captain Attwool'sown words : —" The barque Coulnakyle left Auckland on June J2th, and experienced moderately fine weather till Saturday, June 16th, when she encountered a terrific gale from N.E., veering to east, which increased in violence till 4 a.m. on the 18th. During the gale the ship was thrown almost on her beam ends, at times her lee side being entirely under water, the men being washed from the pumps and everything movable about the decks started. It was at this time she was found to be leaking badly, so much so that the windmill and main pumps were kept constantly going. At noon on the 18th, when in lat. 41'45 S. and long. 165"0 W., all hands came aft and requested me to put back, as they refused to proceed round Cape Horn in the ship. After consulting the officers and carpenter, who were of the same opinion as the men, I decided to put back to Auckland for the benefit of all concerned. We encountered strong easterly winds for the first four days; from thence' to port, moderate to fresh westerly winds.

THE RICHMOND. About 7 o'clock a.m. on July the 3rd the Island steamer Richmond came into port from her regular trip to Tahiti, Tonga, etc., with a full cargo and as many passengers as she could accommodate. She berthed at the Railway Wharf, and is now rapidly discharging her inward freight. Captain Hutton furnishes the following report of the steamer's movements during the round trip : —" Left Auckland May 22nd at 1 p.m. with tine weather, which we had until arrival at Tonga on the 27th June; discharged cargo and left next day for Samoa. H.M.S. Egeria, which was awaiting our arrival in Tonga, left the same day as ourselves, bound for Auckland. We arrived at Apia, Samoa, on 2nd June. Discharged cargo and landed passengers, and left on the 4th for Papeete, arriving at same on the 10th June, after a fine weather passage. Discharged cargo and left on the 14th for Tautira, where we loaded a tine cargo of pearl shells, cocoanuts and oranges, leaving for Auckland, via Rarotonga and Tonga, on the 18th June. We called at Rarotonga on the 21st, and took on board part cargo of pineapples. We left Rarotonga on same evening and reached Tonga on Tuesday morning, 26th June, where we finished our loading, taking in 2000 bunches bananas, and took our final departure for Auckland the next Hay, arriving as above after a very fine passage of six days."

After such a dearth of building as that which has been prevailing for so long a time, it is pleasing to notify the arrival in port of such a clipper-built little craft as the fore-and-aft schooner Halatoa. She comes from Messrs. Lane and Brown's yards at WhangaX'oa, and has been built to the order of Messrs. McArthur and Co., for the island trade. The Halatoa is well and faithfully built of the best materials, and judging by her lines should prove a speedy sailer. Her passage from \\ hangaroa, with 8500 feet of timber on board, occupied but 30 hours. She has been brought to this port to be measured and registered, and to receive a few finishing touches. When these necessary details have been attended to, the Halatoa will proceed to Whangaroa and take a load of sawn timber to the islands.

The ship Shannon, which some little time back put into Papeete in a badly leaking condition, while mi route from Newcastle to Wilmington, U.S., with coal, has, despite the strenuous efforts of Captain Mitchell and his crew, been found to be beyond repair, and has been condemned and sold. Messrs. Salmon Bros., of Papeete, were the purchasers, and they at once started to dismantle the ship. Captain Mitchell and the crew were passengers to this port by the s.s. Richmond.

The clipper American barque Essex is lying in the stream tilled to the hatches with a cargo of kauri gum for New York, the value of which amounts to close on £25,000. The vessel was cleared at the Customs on the 13th inst.

SUMMARY. During the four weeks that have passed since the departure of last mail, shipping has been dull. The arrivals comprise none but vessels from Australian and Island ports, though the barque Coulnakyle returned to the port under circumstances detailed above. The Mission schooner Southern Cross came back from the first of her yearly trips to the Islands of the Melanesian Mission, and

reports that things are quiet and satisfactory among the groups visited. On the 3rd instant the Island steamer Richmond got in, bringing with her the family of the French Governor of Tahiti, who have since proceeded to Europe. The barque Essex sailed_on Saturday last for New York, with 5078 cases of kauri gum, and the British barque Mercia, with a general cargo, is expected to clear in a week. Among the departures is that of H.M.s. Egeria, which sailed oil the 20th of June to continue her survey between New Zealand and Tonga, on the proposed route of the Pacific cable. The brigantine Gazelle left a couple of days later with a full cargo of copra for Europe, her first port of call being Lisbon. In addition, eight vessels have taken fidl loads of kauri to Australia. Particulars of disasters to the shirt Killochan,from London to this port, and the Union S.S. Co. 's Suva will be found elsewhere. The mail steamer Alameda arrived here on the 23rd from America, with the European mails, leaving for Sydney the same day. The direct steamer Rimutaka, of the New Zealand Shipping Co.'s line, arrived at Wellington yesterday, three days ahead of contract time, with English mails to date of June 2 ; and the steamer Taiyuau, direct from Foochow with a consignment of new season's tea, also reached the same port on Saturday.

FREIGHTS, &c. Messrs. C. F. James and Co., ship and timber brokers, report as follows for the past four weeks During the period that has elapsed since our last report, which went forward on the 16th ult., a fair amount of business has been done in timber freights, confined for the most part to a general clearance of cargoes purchased from the local mills prior to the formation of the Melbourne syndicate. The syndicate having been successfully floated into a company in Melbourne, we anticipate a very considerable increase in our timber exports, and so long as disengaged handy tonnage remains as scarce as at present, ruling rates may be expected to be maintained. The amount of business done in Newcastle freights presents a falling off, owing to the heavy arrivals of last month having satisfied requirements for the time, but as supplies are now getting low again, and few forward fixtures, a good demand may be looked for. Timber Freights.—We quote rates, approximately, as follows —East Coast ports, for sawn : To Sydney, 2s 6d ; to Melbourne, 3s 3d to 3s 6d (according to size of tonnage); Normanton, 10s; Brisbane, 3s 9d; Rockhampton, 4s 6d. West Coast ports, for baulk : To Sydney, 3s 6d; Melbourne, 4s 6d ; Dunedin, 4s 3d; for sawn to Wellington, 3s. We report the following fixtures: —From East Coast ports to Sydney, Lady Mabel, Silver Cloud, Frank Guy (fixed by ourselves), and the Seabird and Linda Weber (by others); Anthons, for Normanton; Sybil, for Brisbane ; Darcy Pratt, for Rockhampton. All with sawn. From West Coast, with baulk : Peerless, Eillan Donan, Zodiac, Stanley, for Melbourne; Kentish Lass (fixed by us), for Dunedin. With sawn : Grasmere, for Melbourne; Vision, for Syduey; Annie Wilson, for Lyttelton ; and Lizzie Guy (fixed by us), for Wellington. Coal Freights. arrivals during the month have been limited to the Seabird, Linda Webber, Louie, (from Greymouth), Oamaru, and Sarah Pile (from Greymouth), the two latter in to us, while the only reported fixtures are the Northern Chief with a part cargo of salt, and the Frank Guy, Silver Cloud, taken up by ourselves. The decline in rates reported in our last has not been of long duration, and we are again in a position to quote 10s as current. Produce Freights.—This trade is still confined almost exclusively to steamers. The only arrivals have been the Gael, and Eillan Donan, from Lyttelton, and Lizzie Guy from Oamaru, the two latter in to us. Sale of Tonnage.— vessel has been added to our local fleet in the schooner Frank Guy, which has been lying :up in Napier for some little time. We report a fair amount of enquiry for purchase of tonnage suitable for inter-colonial trade, owing partly to improvement in rates of freight or sales, as also to prices being considerably in favour of buyers.
