Early yesterday morning Messrs. Stone Bros.' brigantine Parnell arrived from Newcastle with a full cargo of coals, and was berthed at the Railway Wharf for her discharge. She left the Sew South Wales coalport on August 23rd, and experienced rough weather during the trip, but sustained no damage. Her cargo of 480 tons of coal is already disposed of—2oo tons being already purchased by Messrs. Donald and Eden'borough for the s.s. Richmond, while the balance is for the Auckland Gas Company. At the Railway Wharf yesterday the American barque Albert Russell was discharging her cargo, which is turning out in line condition. The barque Kentish Lass was hauled alongside the Northcote ferry-tee, and began the work of discharging her cargo of grain and breadstuff's yesterday. Last evening the s.s. Wellington took her departure for Whangarei, her freight and passenger lists being both well filled. After a protracted passage from the East Coast, the well-known schooner Gisborne arrived in port this morning. She sailed from her name port on the 3rd August, but had to put back owing to the heavy gale which, was raging on the coast. A second (start was made, but again the schooner had •ho return to port, and the East Cape was not rounded till August 22nd. Strong winds were then blowing from north-west, and as thev increased to a gale, the schooner lay-to hi Hicks' Bay till the 26th. She sailed on that date, and worked the Bay of Plenty ports, leaving Te Kaha on September 1. Thence light winds and fine weather prevailed till port was reached. The Gisborne brought two passengers and a general cargo of produce, live stock, etc. She landed the latter at the Queen-street Wharf, and then took up a position in the stream. The work of discharging the shin Crusader is progressing steadily. Yesterday the 15-ton gun for the defence works at the North .Shore was safely lifted out by the bi ; crane. From Rarotonga Messrs. Donald and Edenborough's well-known brigantine, Ada C. Owen, Captain Dickson, is expected to arrive this week. In a telegram from Wellington received yesterday, it was stated that the R.M. s.s. Zealandia left San Francisco for Auckland on the sth of August. This is clearly an error, for the Zealandia is now in Sydney. The incoming mail is bein°; brought here by the R.M. s.s. Alameda, which left 'Frisco on the 25th August, as set down in the timetable. Yesterday evening, at 5 o'clock, the s.s. {Tarawera sailed for Sydney with a general cargo and a large number of passengers, who were escorted to the steamer by a larger crowd of friends, anxious to bid them goodbye. None of the latter were, however, allowed on board the steamer, as the thronging of the deck at the busy time of sailing has been found to be a great inconvenience to the crew in the discharge of their work. There were 40 saloon and 114 steerage from Auckland, and 14 of each class from "Southern ports on the Tarawera, 182 in all. The proprietor of the p.s. City of Cork has resumed the summer excursions to Paverhead. The boat has been completely renovated, and intending tourists will find every comfort on board, the cabins being clean, light, and well ventilated. The improvements, however, have not been confined to the cabins alone, as the DroDrifcloi* bav« made

alterations to the boat which make her the equal of any in Auckland for speed, steadiness, and safety. -

SWEDISH BARQUE IN DISTRESS.

THE STAVANGER ARRIVES LEAKING. Early yesterday morning the signal station at the North Shore gave notice of the approach of a barque, which was at once put down to be the Deva, now overdue from London. This surmise proved to be incorrect, as the vessel turned out to be a stranger, the Swedish barque Stavanger, which put in in distress while on a voyage from Maiden Island to Falmouth. She came into toe harbour about 11 o'clock, under the charge of pilot Sainty, and anchored abreast of the Queen-street Wharf, where Captain Lundmark was promptly visited by Mr. H. P. Barber, the Swedish Consul. The btavanger is a shapely wooden barque of 939 tons burden, and is nine years old. She is owned by Messrs. Robertfors, of Stockholm, and is registered at Sikea. About fifteen months ago she came to Melbourne with a cargo of pine from Norway, and then sailed to Newcastle, whence she conveyed a load of coal to San Diego, California, under charter to Messrs. Bright, Summers, and Co., of Melbourne. On behalf of the same firm she then proceeded to Maiden Island and filled up with 1300 tons of guano for Europe, being fixed for Falmouth for orders. She left Maiden Island on July lltli, with line weather and easterly winds. She was leaking a little at the time of her departure, but so slightly that no alarm was felt. After being out a couple of days the wind freshened, and the water in the hold made at the rate of two inches per hour. This was kept under by occasional working of the pumps, but by August 4th the hourly rate of the inflow was five inches. On the 15th ult. a strong breeze was experienced, and the water gained considerably, 12 inches an hour being made. By pumping, this was reduced to 9 inches, but the crew, considering that the vessel was not sufficiently seaworthy to attempt the rough passage round Cape Horn, requested the captain to bear away for Auckland in ! order that the leak might be found and stopped. This was accordingly done, and the water made no further increase until on Saturday last, when very rough weather was experienced, and the vessel rolled heavily. The water gained fast, and was pouring in at the rate of 15 or 16 inches an hour, so that the crew were employed at the pumps about two and a-half hours out of every watch (four hours.) Messrs. Cruickshank and Co. are the local agents of Messrs. Bright, Summers, and Co., and will likely act on behalf of the Stavanger during her stay. Nothing has yet been decided concerning the repairs to the barque, but it is almost certain that she will be promptly surveyed, and tenders for discharging, docking, ana repairing her called for.
