Co.'s Wellington arrived from Whangarei at an early hour this morning, with a good number of passengers and a cargo of produce, etc. About half-past 10 o'clock yesterday mornins: the barque Kentish Lass, grain-laden from Lyttelton, rather unexpectedly put in an appearance after an exceedingly smart run of four days. The Kentish Lass is a nicely--modelled barque of 306 tons burden, and sails like a yacht, and as she came up past the Queen-street Wharf to her anchorage in the stream her graceful movements were admiringly watched by a large crowd of persons. She sailed from Lyttelton on August 30, and cleared the harbour about 10.30 a.m., falling in with the strong southerly gale which was then raging round the coast. Before this she made splendid progress, and in fifty hours from starting was abreast of the East Cape, which was rounded at noon on Saturday. s'he wind then happily fell light and veered to the eastward, and the barque had fine weather till her arrival as above. She brings a full cargo of oats, wheat, and sundries, and comes in to the care of Messrs. C. F. James and Co. Shortly after one o'clock yesterday the Union S.S. Co.'s Tarawera reached port Irom Melbourne, via Hobart and the South, with passengers and a large cargo of produce. Mr . uaro > the purser, kindly supplies the following particulars of the trip The Tarawera left Melbourne on the 21st ultimo at 4 p.m. She called at Hobart, Bluff, Dunedin, i Lyttelton, Wellington, Napier, and Gisborne, leaving the latter port at 10 a.m. on the 2nd, arriving m port as above. Experienced variable strong winds and stormy j ■weather to Napier, thence light airs and calms with fair weather to arrival. After a lengthy passage from Lyttelton the schooner Gael, Captain Ray, arrived shortly after daylight yesterday morning. The skipper reports that the vessel left Lyttelton on Wednesday, 22nd ult., with a light S.W. wind. On the following day she encountered a heavy N.W. gale, which con-

tinued till Saturday; from then light S. W. and W. winds prevailed until Thursday, the 30fch. On that day she experienced a heavy westerly gale, and had to run for shelter to Hicks Bay, but left again that night, with light S.E. wind. On Friday a heavy gale from the S.W. set in, and at - a.m. she ran back for Hicks Bay, where the schooners Gisborne and Dunedin, both for Auckland, were also lying windbound ; the wind moderating on Saturday, she made a fresh start, with a light S.E. wind, which brought her safely to port as described. The schooner Dunedin, which as mentioned in the above report was also -stayed, arrived last night. She sailed from Napier on August 20th, and on the '22nd reached Hicks' Bay, and was compelled to lie there for eight days, during which time a heavy westerly gale blew. bailing on the 30th, she got to Mercury Bay next dav • she left again on the 2nd September, and had light N.E. wind to port. A telegram received yesterday by Mr. 1. Hill Collector of Customs, from Captain Fairchild, states that the s.s. Stella is to leave Onehunga for Wellington to-morrow evening, the stli inst. Owing to the stoppage of supplies of coal from Newcastle, the Union S.S. Co. require their steamer Wainui for the West Coast coal trade, and she will in consequence be taken off her old Fijian route, where she lias been so favourably known. Our Island friends will not be sufferers however, as the s.s. Arawata is to be put oil in her place. The Arawata will leave Dunedin on Friday for this port, calling at Oamaru and Wellington The usual coastal steamers sailed last evening for their regular ports—viz., the s.s. Clansman, for the North ; the Stormbird, for Whangarei, etc. ; the s.s. lona, for Tauranga and Mercury Bay ; and the Staffa, for Bay of Plenty ports. The Union Co..'s s.s. Pukaki, engaged in the Fiji-Australian trade, is to call this trip at Grey mouth to take on board sufficient coal to carry her to Suva and back to Melbourne, as, she is, of course, unable to obtain any at Newcastle, where she was wont to get supplies. The tea steamer Whampoa, which left Foochow on August 13, being now twentytwo days out, is expected to put in an appearance to-day. Auckland will shortly have a warship in port again, as H.M.s. Diamond, which lias been relieved from the Australian station, will call here en route for Portsmouth. She is due here about Saturday. The unfortunate stranger who found a nameless grave in the wrecked schooner Colonist, had started to work his passage from Dunedin to Auckland in the barque Kentish Lass, which arrived yesterday, but when that vessel went to complete her loading at Lvttelton, he transhipped to the Colonist, and was amongst those drowned when she went down.
