As announced in Saturday's Herald, the barque mentioned as having been sighted outside the harbour on Friday turned out to be the American vessel Albert Russell, from Isew York, via Wellington. Owing to the Toughness of the weather, and the wind feeing dead ahead. Captain Carver did not reach inside Tiri till about noon on Saturday, •when he was picked up by the tug Awhina, ■which had also been out for him on Friday night, and towed into port, being made fast to the Railway Wharf about 3 o'clock. The Albert Russell brought a part cargo of valuable American merchandise for Auckland, details of which were given in our Saturday's issue. She comes to the care of LI essrs. Arnold, Cheney, and Co., who notify consignees elsewhere to be prompt in the passing of their entries, etc., so that no delay 'may occur in the discharge of the vessel. Captain Carver reports of the voyage as follows: —The barque left New York on April 11, and experienced very light N.E. and >S. E. trade winds, but in running down the easting westerly winds prevailed. She readied Wellington, IDS days out, on July 28, ami after discharging part cargo at that port she sailed again for Auckland on August 16. All the way up the coast strong westerly gales with high seaS prevailed. The Little Barrier was sighted on Thursday, and the vessel passed inside it early on Friday morning, and reached port as above. The Albert Russell is a wholesome looking barque of 724 tons, of the American type of vessels, and comes into port in a condition that reflects credit alike upon captain and crew. This is her first visit to Auckland ■waters. An announcement from the Union S.S. Company appears elsewhere, regarding the practice that has lately grown in Auckland of great numbers of passengers' friends and others crowding upon the company's steamers on the eve of departure, and impeding all business. The Union S.S. Company have 'for a long time put up with much inconvenience caused by this practice; but the ■evil lately has become too great for their forbearance, and an edict has, therefore, been issued that no one, save passengers, will be allowed on board, save on the production of a special pass. By this means the vessels' decks will be kept clear for business, but the tees adjacent will be more thronged than ever. The rough weather prevalent on the coast lately has considerably delayed that regular little coastal packet, the schooner Gisborne. She set out from her name port for Auckland some little time back, but was compelled to take shelter in Hick's Bay on Sunday lastIn order to allay any anxiety respecting her detention, Captain Skinner despatched a message to his Opotiki agent, who wired to Mr. H. B. Morton concerning the schooner's whereabouts. The barque Kentish Lass i 3 now about due, grain-laden from Lyttelton, and may be expected to arrive any day this week. The Auckland-owned barque Notero is also at the Canterbury port, and will finish loading this •week, when she is to proceed to Sydney. Almost all the Northern S.S. Co.'s steamers engaged on this coast were in port yesterday. The lona brought up passengers and gum from Mercury Bay late on Saturday night; the Douglas, with a cargo of 400 sacks maize, arrived on the forenoon of the same day; the Clansman got back from her weekly trip to Tauranga with passengers yesterday morning, and Captain Hopkins also brought in the Staffa from the Bay of Plenty. On Saturday afternoon the barque Loongana was towed down to Mercury Bay by the tug Awhina. She is to load up timber there for Ivewcastle. The liquidator of the Great Eastern Steamship Company nas issued a statement of the receipts and payments during the liquidation whicn shows funds available for distribution among the shareholders amounting to £2833 6s Sd, being at the rate of lis 4d per £'20 share. The steamship sold for £26,200. The barquentine Silver Cloud, from Mercury Bay, and the barque Bells, from Lyttelton, recently arrived in Sydney after long passages of 25 and 39 days respectively, very rough weather was the cause of the delay, but both came through the ordeal uninjured. The Silver Cloud is to load back here if she can get a cargo of coal. Captain Dillner, formerly of the Ocean Rover, is in Sydney to take charge of the

barquentine Jessie, so long under the com- j mand of the late Captain Buxton, her owner. I The Jessie is fixed to load coal for this port, j — l PORT OF ONEHUNGA. ARRIVALS.
