At an early hour yesterday the tug Awhina brought in the ship Killochan from her position in the stream, and placed her in the berth lately occupied by the ship Piako. The work of discharging the Killochan's inward freight will most probably be begun today. The s.s. Whampoa finished discharging ear!y yesterday morning, all her cargo being landed in excellent condition. During the afternoon about 70 tons of produce, old metal, fungus, etc., was taken on board for Chinese ports, and the steamer sailed at 4 p.m, for Wellington and Dunedin. Mr. Arthur Morton proceeded by her to Wellington, and eight Chinamen also took passage in her to the " Flowery Land." Early yesterday the Northern S.S. Co.'s 6.5. lona got in from her usual trip to Mercury Bay and Tauranga, and, after discharging her freight and landing passengers, she lett at 8 a.m. f ■ >r the Barrier. The ship Crusader and the barque Kentish ! Lass at the Queen-street, and the barque Albert Russell at the Railway wharf, are all steadily discharging. This evening the s.s. Clansman will not make her usual trip to Tauranga, as she is to be docked for her periodical overhaul as soon as her inward freight from the North is got out. About 1 o'clock yesterday the Union Co.'s s.s. Manapouri took her departure for the South and Melbourne with a good number of passengers and a general cargo. She was attended on her departure by a large crowd of sightseers. The usual despatch afforded to the Union ►S.S. Co. steamers by their agents was given to the s.s. Wainui yesterday. All her cargo of fruit, etc., was got out by about 3 o'clock, when the steamer sailed up to the Sugar Works to discharge raw sugar and load up 40 tons of the refined article. She did not connect with Queen-street Wharf again, but left Chelsea about 6 p.m. direct* for Wellington. The three-masted schooner Jerfalcon, which arrived at Melbourne on August 27 from JVlaldon Island, brought Captain Nicholson and eight men, the crew of the barque Diamond which was beached at Maldon island. She also brings a quantity of salvage and stores of the barque. The Diamond left Newcastle on May 15 with coal for San Francisco, and sprang a leak. The master beached her on Maldon Island, but she is now a total wreck. In addition to those mentioned in yesterday s Herald, the following recently arrived ships report having had very rough weather on the outward voyage to Australia -.—The barque lnchkeith, from Glasgow to Sydney, had a heavy gale on August 2, which caused her to labour and strain and take in large quantities of water, which scattered all movables. The White Star Liner Orontes experienced heavy S. W. weather on August 3, which brought along a high confused sea, which repeatedly broke on board, but did no damage. The ship Miltiades, from London to Sydney, had a heavy Hide interspersed

with violent hail squalls when running her easting down. The Bay of Cadiz had strong S.W. winds, which were accompanied by heavy seas, and frequently the decks ""ere deluded and filled from rail to rail. A little damage to a boat and deckhouse is happily the only thing that will indicate the very heavy weather experienced on the passage. As anticipated by us yesterday, the Fijian mail steamer V\ ainui arrived early vest<?rclas morning, from Levuka, etc., with a full cargo of fruit, raw sugar, etc., and a number of passengers. She had very rough weather on the passage down, strong southerly and south-westerly gales, with high cross seas prevailing nearlv all the time since leaving Levuka till arrival. Of the trip across Mr. A. C. Walker, purser, reports as* follows : — The Wainui left Levuka at 6 p.m. on the 29th ult-, reaching Suva at 12.30 a.m. on the 30:h ; proceeded to Navua and Deuba, and loaded sugar, arriving back in Suva at 7.30 p.m. the same day. She embarked her mails, passengers, and cargo, and left at 12.15 p.m. on the 31st. Mount Washington was passed at 5.30 p.m. the same day; Cape Brett was sighted at 11.45 a.m. on the sth. and passed at 3.30 p.m. She transhipped the mails for Svdnev on board the s.s. Tarawera off Rus- | sell, and passed Tiritiri at 4.45 a.m. on the6th, arriving alongside the wharf at 6 a.m. on the 6th inst. Experienced strong southerly gale, with high sea, on the 4th; thence strong S.W. winds till arrival. In consequence of the English football match on Saturday the sailing of the s.s. Wellington, for Whangarei, has been postponed from Friday till Saturday night at S p.m. WRECK OF THE FRENCH BARQUE CECILE. The Fiji Times of the 27th ultimo says :— The barque Maria Km, of Glasgow, 737 tons register. Captain Hodge, from Baker's and Howland Islands, arrived here on Sunday in order to land the shipwrecked crew of the French barque Cecile, which went ashore at the last-mentioned place on July 14th ultimo. She was struck by a squall from the S.W., parted the moorings—which consisted of a new one and a-half inch chain—with the result that, being driven ashore at about midnight, she went down at dawn of the next day, in about 3900 fathoms of water. Her crew consisted of the Captain, M. La Coste, mate, and 13 seamen. Nothing was saved with the exception of the chronometer, a few stores, and the personal effects. At the date of this unfortunate occurrence, Captain Hodge was loading guano at Baker's Island, where the weather being of a similar character as that encountered by the Cecile, his risk was also great. Fortunately the moorings of the Martaban proved equal to the strain, and no damage occurred. On August Mh. Captain Hodge proceeded to Howland Island for the purpose of landing the manager and labourers who were working at the place, and then, for the first time, became aware of the fate which had overtaken the Cecile. Captain La Coste at once enlisted the sympathies and assistance of Captain Hodge, and in place of proceeding to Plymouth, whether he was bound for orders, he consented to carry the distressed mariners 10 Samoa or such other port as he found easiest: the weather being so extremely bad as to render this precaution advisable. This was amply proved by the fact that it was not found possible to make Samoa except at a loss of time, which was not deemed justifiable, and Suva was therefore selected as the port most available. The shipwrecked men are at present here, but will proceed to Sydney by next opportunity. Mr. Arundel, the owner of both Baker and Howland Islands, amongst others, came down as a passenger in the Martaban, and will go on to Sydney or Auckland in due course. As will be seen, the Martaban proceeded on her voyage yesterday. The conduct of Captain La Coste and his crew is spoken of most highly by Captain Hodge.
