At three p.m. yesterday, punctually to her advertised time of sailing, the R.M.s.s. Mariposa took her departure for San Francisco via Tutuila and Honolulu, with the outgoing mails for America and Europe. She took about a dozen passengers from Auckland, in addition to those who had booked through from Australia. The cargo shipped at this port was confined to small consignments of produce. The steamer's departure was witnessed by a large assemblage of spectators, and she was taken out of the harbour by Pilot Sainty. The local agents of the ship Killochan, now undergoing repairs at Melbourne, received a cable yesterday from Captain Manson, to the effect that the injuries received by the vessel were almost all made good, and that she would be ready to sail about the 23rd inst. In consequence of the ill-health of his wife, who has been accustomed to accompany him on his voyages, Captain Attwooll, of the barque Couhiakyle, about a week ago forwarded his resignation to the owners°of the vessel. It was accepted with regret, and Captain Ad dock, well known in this port, lias been appointed to the vacancy. Captain H. M. Hay ward, of the mail steamer Mariposa, did not leave with his ship yesterday, but is staying behind this trip in connection with the Oceanic S.S. Co.'s interests in New Zealand and Australia. Mr. F. M. Hart, chief officer, takes charge of the

Mariposa as acting-commander, while Mr. J. M. Bowen will temporarily fill the chiet ofiicer's place. , , . Shortly before 9 o'clock yesterday morning the Union S.S. Co.'s Rotomahana arrived in port from Melbourne via Hobarfc and the South with a number of passengers as given above and a large cargo of grain and produce. Of the trip up the coast, the purser, Mr. Keith, reports .—The Rotomahana left Dunedin at 3 p.m. onSth, and called at Lyttelton, Wellington, Napier, and Gisborne, leaving the latter port at 9.30 pm. on Sunday. She rounded the East Cape at 3.30 p.m., and arrived as above, having experienced variable winds and line weather throughout, save that a fog was experienced off Rangitoto, which delayed the vessel considerably. Yesterdav evening the barque Presto hauled out from the Railway Wharf into the stream, to get away for the Kainara. . No little anxiety is being manifested in Dunedin concerning the non-arrival of the ship Trevelyan, from Glasgow. The Trevelvan is now over 140 days out, and has not been spoken since her departure. She is under trie command of Captain W. Roberts, formerly chief officer of the Hermione, of which vessel his father was for many years in command. The Trevelyan is a slow sailer, and may be only making an extra long passage, but a fact that tends to increase the alarm felt is that among her cargo there is no less than 45,000 gallons of spirits. It is to be hoped that the delay in her appearance is not due to the too frequent tale of broached cargo, drunken sailor, lighted caudle, missing at Lloyds. . , Yesterday evening, at 8 clock, the s.s. Rotomahana sailed for Russell. , She will coal at Opua, and return on Wednesday morning. . The usual coasting steamers took their departures last evening for their respective ports. The Clansman left at 7 o'clock for Russell, the Stormbird at 8 p.m. for Whangarei, and the lona at 5 clock for Tauranga. Yesterday evening, about 7 p.m., the Northern S.S. Co.'s Wellington arrived from Whangarei, with a large number of passengers and a general cargo. The brigantine Defiance was yesterday entered outwards for Melbourne. She is rapidly filling up with timber, and is expected to get away this week. Cable intelligence has been received of the sailing from Newcastle of the s.s. Bucephalus for this port with a full cargo of coal. She comes consigned to Messrs. James and Co. The repairs to the barque Coulnakyle are proceeding apace, and she will probably be finished at the end of the week. Her reloading will occupy about a fortnight longer, and she will then sail for Europe with her original freight of copra. PORT OF ONEHUNGA. ARRIVALS. Glenelg, s.s., Nor bury, from Wanganui.— A.
