At an early hour yesterday morning the s.s. Clansman arrived from her regular weekly trip to the North with a good number of passengers and a large cargo, comprising 392 sacks gum, 56 sacks oysters, 19 casks oil, 7 sacks bones, 7 hides, 2 bundles sheepskins, etc. Yesterday forenoon the schooner Welcome hauled into the stream, and sailed at an early hour this morning for Melbourne*with a full load of sawn timber. From Russell the schooner Agnes Martin brought down a cargo of coal, and was yesterday cleared out again for the same port. The s.s. lona arrived from the Barrier early yesterday, sailing for Mercury Bay at 5 p.m. The Northern S.S. Co.'s Wellington took her departure last evening at her usual hour for Whangarei, with both her passenger and • freight list well filled. From Mangonui, Russell, and Whangarei the Jubilee 6>.S. Co.'s Stormbird got in last night with passengers and a cargo of gum, hides, and produce.

Since the Coptic last visited this port there has been a slignt change in the personnel of her officers. Mr. Frodsham, late second officer, has joined the R.M.s. Arabic, a v\ mte Star liner, running betw China and .San Francisco; and Mr. Valentine, late third officer, has been transferred to the K.M.S. lonic. Mr. Jay, formerly second officer of the lonic, is now second or the Coptic ; whilst Mr. Taylor, late of the R.M.s. Baltic, is third officer. The s.s. Clansman left for Tauranga last night at 7 o'clock. R.M.S.S. COPTIC. Shortly after half-past seven o'clock yesterday morning the White Star liner Coptic, sailing under the flag of the Shaw, Saville, and Albion Company, arrived in port from London by way of Teneriffe, Capetown, and Hobart, after a good passage of 50 days, including detentions. Owing to her leaving London but a day before the despatch of the 'Frisco mail, the Coptic brings but a small amount of mail matter, but has a large quantity of freight for New Zealand ports, and her passenger accommodation in all classes has been well-patronised on the trip. As 011 her last visit to this port on lath March last the Coptic is under the command of Captain 0. Burton, R.N.R., who lias with him the following gentlemen as officers First officer, C. H. Kempson, R.N.R. ; second do., Hy. D. Jav, third do., J. L. Taylor; fourth do., John Thornton; first engineer, A. Morrison; second do., J. W. Peaseod; third do., G. McLellan; fourth do,, 0. McMahon; fifth do., E. Lloyd; boilermaker, C. Murphy; electrician, S. <'«. Guild; first refrigerator engineer, C. M. Thorn ; second do., H. Scouller ; purser, Mr. \V. J. Rao; surgeon, Dr. K. \V. Humphery, M.8., M.A., M.'R.C.S. ; chief steward, Mr. Frost. To Mr. W. J. Rao, purser, we arc indebted for the following details of the trip : — The voyage has been "a most pleasant one, more especially considering the season of the year for running between the Cane and Tasmania, where, at this time, bad weather is usually experienced for the greater part of the passage. Entertainments have been numerous, concerts, theatricals, waxwork exhibitions, cricket and football matches, athletic sports, etc.. being indulged in. All the passengers are in excellent health, and addition has been made to the list since leaving Hobart. .Mrs. Webber, a third-class passenger, having given birth to a son on the "2nd inst. The Coptic sailed from the Royal Albert Docks at o. 1- p.m. on the 14th June, and from Gravesend at 4.53 p.m. the same day. Passed Beachy Head at 3 a.m. on the loth; St. Catherine's Point at 7.45 a.m., and arrived at Plymouth at 7 p.m. the same day. Sailed from Plymouth at 12.40 p.m. on the 16th June with '27 saloon, -13 second cabin, and 105 steerage passengers. Passed the Eddystone at 1.30 p.m. on the 1 tit ult., and Ushant at 10.IW p.m. same day. Had light winds and fine weather to Cape Finisterre, which was passed at 5 a.m. on the ISth. Thence to TeneritVe, which place was reached at 11.50 a.m. on the 21st, had moderate westerly winds and fine weather. After having coaled and landed two passengers. the voyage was resumed at G.4S p.m. the same day. Had light winds and showery weather to the Equator, which was crossed on the 28tli June in long. 9deg. \Y. Light to moderate winds and head seas were experienced until arrival at Cape Town, at 5.42 p.m. on the 7th ult. Here three passengers were landed and four taken on, and the voyage was resumed at 10.58 a.m. on the Sth. Directly after leaving Table Bay stormy weather was experienced, a strong southwesterly gale and high seas being met with, lasting till the 10th, when moderate to fresh winds and squally weather continued until the Kith. On the 14th the wind shifted to the eastward, at times blowing strong and considerably retarding the vessel's progress, and continued in the same quarter, though latterly falling light and accompanied by tine weather until arrival at Hobart at 6.25 p.m. on the 27th July. At Hobart the Coptic discharged 379 tons of cargo and landed 83 passengers. The vessel was detained rather longer than usual, owing to there being a scarcity of coal. The voyage was resumed at "2.48 a.m. on the 20th of July, and for the first two days light head winds and fine weather were experienced. On the Ist August experienced strong head winds and heavy rain squalls, also thunder and lightning. Passed Cape Maria Van Diemen at 12.45 p.m. on the 2nd August, North Cape at 2.22 p.m., Cape Karakara, 3.45 p.m. ; S. 45 p.m.. Cape Brett abeam ; 11 p.m., Poor Knights abeam; passed Tiritiri at 5.33 a.m. yesterday, and arrived at the wharf as above. Before the steamer reached the wharf she was boarded by the Health Officer (Dr. Lewis) and Mr. D. B. Cruickshank, the local agent, and as soon as she was safely berthed and her passengers landed, the work of discharging the Auckland cargo began with vigour, and was continued throughout last night. Owing to her detention at Hobart, it is probable that the Coptic will not be able to leave for Wellington—her next port of call— as early to-day as was expected, but she will likely finish putting out her cargo this evening and sail on Sunday early. In addition to the list of passengers published above the Coptic landed 81 at Hobart, which were distributed as follows —Hobart, 34 ; Launceston, S ; Melbourne, 19 ; Sydney, 16 ; Townsville, 3 ; Brisbane, 1.
