THE BARQUE DEVA.—SAFE ARRIVAL. After some little uneasiness had been caused by the long delay in the arrival of the barque Deva, all doubts as to her safety were set at rest at daylight on Tuesday, Sept. IS, by the welcome intelligence that she had been made out inside '1 iri, and was awaiting a pilot to come into port. The s.s. Rotoiti left the wharf shortly after S a.m. with Pilot Snintv, who went on board the barque about 10 o'clock, and under his charge she was conducted to an anchorage opposite to the Queen-street Wharf, having to contend against head winds up to the time of her dropping her anchor, as the strong westerly wind blowing compelled her to beat right up the harbour. Notwithstanding her long passage, the Deva has sustained no damage whatever on the voyage, and came into port in excellent condition, the delay in her arrival being whollv due to a continuation of adverse gales. The actual time occupied by the Deva from the date of leaving the London docks till her arrival here was 141 days, but as she lay in the Downs from April 30 "till May 6. the "number of days she was sailing was only 135. , The passage itself was devoid of incident, and was during the greater portion a mono tonous struggle against adverse winds. Cap tain Davis reports as follows : — The Deva left London on April 30, but lay in the Downs till May 6, when she continued on her way. In going down the Channel a dense fog was experienced, daring which a collision with a large steamship was but narrowly averted by constant blowing of fog signals. Moderate weather was experienced till the Equator was crossed in 30" West, on June 11: and the barque rounded the Cape of Good Hope on July 25, thence during all the time of running the easting down, which was done in about the 4.5 th parallel, strong adverse winds retarded the vessel's progress. When in 20' E long, a succession of southerly gales set in, and the Deva did not get clear of them till near Tasmania, where the wind went round to the north-west, and blew with great violence, being accompanied by heavy confused seas, and it was deemed prudent to lie to for two days, during widen time oilbags were used on the water with excellent effect. The South Cape of was passed on August 23th, and the Three Kings sighted on September 11th. Down the coast fresh winds from the south-west were encountered, and Tiri was sighted at daybreak and harbour made as described above.

ARRIVAL OF THE ALAMEDA. The mail steamer Alameda, from San Francisco and Honolulu, arrived in harbour at 6.30 a.m. on Saturday, September 15, and anchored at the quarantine ground, signalling for the Health Officer. Oil Dr. Lewis proceeding to the steamer, he was informed that there had been a case of supposed smallpox on board, but that the doctor of the ship and three medical men at Honolulu declared that it was not a case of that character. _ After some questions and answers, Dr. Lewis proceeded on board, and, having examined the patient, a boy of seven years of age, he was satisfied that there was no cause for detaining the steamer, and she at once proceeded to the wharf, where she was made fast at about eight o'clock. Of the voyage Captain Morse reports:— Left San Francisco on August 2.3 th, and discharged pilot at 5.30 p.m. ; stopped for Honolulu pilot on September Ist at 5.40 a.m. ; left Honolulu at 9.12 p.m. same night, and stopped off Tutuila on September 8, at 11.11 p.m.; after a detention ot 24 minutes, proceeded on the voyage, and arrived in harbour as above. Fine weather and smooth sea "were experienced during the voyage.

R.M.S.S. DORIC. On September 24, Shaw, Savill, and Albion Co.'s direct steamer Doric arrived in harbour. She was boarded off Mechanic's Bay by the Health Officer, Messrs. L. D. Nathan and Co.'s representative, and the Customs officer, and Captain Babot, the ship's husband of the Shaw Saville line. As the first-named of these officials found that the passengers and crew were all in good health, pratique was speedily granted, and the passengers allowed to come ashore, as it was not intended to berth the steamer until flood-tide, about 10 p.m. The Doric brought 26 passengers and 17 Government immigrants for Auckland, and has also on board for Napier, 3 ; for Wellington, 22; for Christchurch, 13 ; for Dunedin, 18 ; for New Plymouth, 5; for Wanganui, 6. When she lett England the total number on board was 211, of whom 6 landed at Teneriffe, 5 at Capetown (11 embark ing), 100 at Hobart. The Doric discharged 500 tons of general cargo at Hobart, and has now under hatches 1600 tons for New Zealand, distributed as follows :—Auckland, 400 ; Wellington, 600, Canterbury and Otago, 600. Including the stoppages made at Teneriffe, Capetown, and Hobart, the Doric has been 46 days on her passage, the time actually occupied in steaming being, however, only 41 days 18 hours.

THE BARQUE CLAIRMONT. The barque Clairmont, Captain John Leuthwaite, arrived from London after a passage of 105 days, at about half-past six on Saturday, Sept. 22, and having a large quantity of explosives onboard, cast anchor at the powder ground. The Clairmont has had a very rough-weather passage, and though neither the vessel's hull nor gear met with any damage, and she comes into port in a condition that speaks well for the care of her master and crew, yet on August 28, when in lat. 48deg. S., long. OSdej;. E., she encountered a terrific gale, which caused the cargo to shift, and a quantity had to be thrown overboard, in order that a shipment of iron pipes, which were rolling about in the hold, might be made fast. The Clairmont is a shapely barque of 788 tons gross and 755 net register, and is at present sailing under charter to the Colonial Shipping Co. She brings a cargo, detailed in our list of imports, valued at £4*200, for this port, and has on board £6600 worth of merchandise for Wellington.

ARRIVAL OF THE WAIROA. Shortly after daylight on Friday the signal of a "ship outside Tiri" was hoisted at the station on Mount Victoria, and about halfpast eight o'clock the vessel, which proved to be the Wairoa from London, was brought round the North Head by the tug Awhina, and dropped anchor opposite the Railway Wharf about 9 a.m. The Wairoa is a shapely iron clipper of 1015 tons burden, and is one of the New Zealand Shipping Company's fleet. She comes into port in first-class order, and has made a good passage of 94 days, although delayed in the beginning of her voyage by a two days calm oil the Isle of Wight. She bring 3 a dozen or so of saloon passengers, who have had an uneventful yet pleasant voyage, and speak in high terms both of the accommodation of the ship and the courtesy and care of her officers.

THE YACHT AKARANA. _ Great interest is being manifested in aquatic circles in the new yacht recently built by Mr. R. Logan, of the North Shore, to compete in the Centennial Regatta to be held in Port Philip in November in connection with the Melbourne Exhibition. During her building, Mr. Logan's shed was frequently visited, and the craft inspected by many competent judges, who all spoke in

high terms of the symmetry of her lines and the care exercised in her construction. Being < launched on Thursday evening, she had her j trial trip on Friday, and acquitted herself ' well. In the afternoon she had a spin with the crack 5-tonner Jessie Logan, and good work was done by both craft in beating against a fresh northerly breeze. The Akarana, for so Mr. Logan's yacht is patriotically named, however proved to be superior to her antagonist, being especially good in sailing close to the wind, while the manner in which her hull glided through the water, almost without leaving a ripple, caused frequent eulogistic remarks from the large crowd of yachtsmen and others, who had assembled on the Queen-street Wharf to witness the yacht's performance. After a trip up the harbour and back, the Akarana was brought alongside the Queen-street Wharf, and dismantled preparatory to being shipped on board the steamer Nemesis, which is to convey her to Melbourne. Her hull was hauled out of the water, and now lies on the wharf ready to be swung on board the steamer by the Harbour Board's big crane. Owing to a change in the rules of measurement recently adopted by the British Yacht Racing Association, under whose regulations the Centennial Regatta is to bo conducted, Mr. Logan will be unable to compete in the fiveton boat race, as he originally intended, for the Akarana in full sail, according to the new scale, is rated at a trifle over 6 tons. She will perforco try her speed against craft ranging up to 10 tons, so that should she carry off the victory, she will have double honours. At a meeting of the Auckland Yacht Club on Friday Mr. Logan was presented by the chairman. Mr. George Cozens, with a name flag for his little vessel, and a certificate of her enrolment in the club"s fleet. In handing over those articles Mr. Cozens remarked that he was sure all Auckland was proud of the pluck displayed by Mr. Logan in going to so great an expense to compete for the honour of Auckland and New Zealand against great odds, and expressed a hope that his success would be so great that Auckland's fame for yachts and yacht-building would be raised to the highest pinnacle of fame. Mr. Logan briefly acknowk '. ,od the expression of good wishes made, and those present then united in drinking the toast ot " Success to the Akarana."

On Monday, Oct. 1, about one o'clock, the signal of a '""steamer inside Tiri" being displayed at the Mount Victoria station, gave notice of the approach of the Island steamer Richmond, which arrived in port about three p.m., and was hauled into position at her customary berth at the Railway wharf half an hour later, when the work of discharging Ik r freight of fruit, etc., was at once started. Of the round trip Captain Hutton reports that the Richmond left Auckland on Saturday. 25th August, and had strong fair winds and line weather to Tonga, which island was reached on Thursday, 30th. She discharged her cargo, and left oh September Ist for Apia, Samoa, arriving there on the 4th September ; after discharging cargo, she left next day for Papeete, Tahiti, having found trade in Apia to be in a depressed condition in consequence of the unsettled state of native affairs. Papeete was reached on September 12th, and the vessel discharged live stock and cargo, leaving for Rarotonga on the 14th, and arriving there on the 17th, and sailing again tor Tonga on the 20th. She arrived at Tonga on the 24th, and finished loading with 1300 bunches bananas, and left oil the 26th for Auckland, and reached that port, after a fine weather trip all round, as stated above. At daylight on Tuesday, Oct. 2, the signal station at the North Shore gave intelligence that a foreign barque was outside the liar- I hour. The tug Awhina, which had been taking out the Deva, picked up the stranger, which proved to be the Danish vessel Johann Brodersen, en route from Haabai, Tonga, to Falmouth for orders, with a cargo of 330 tons copra, shipped by Messrs. W. McArthur and Co. The reason of the barque's putting into Auckland, as stated by Captain Bugge, is that the crew have refused to proceed to Europe in the vessel, alleging that she is unseaworthy. As the barque is making very little water, and was recently examined at Tonga, and received a certificate of soundness there, this cause of complaint _is wholly groundless, but as the disaffection of the men caused great trouble on board, the Captain, when off the New Zealand coast, decided to run for this port, and seek the aid and advice of Mr. Johrnsen, the Danish Consul. On Wednesday, October 3, the Fiji steamer Arawata arrived from Levuka with a few passengers and a general cargo of Island produce and sugar. She was berthed at the Queen-street Wharf, and shortly afterwards began to discharge her fruit. In the afternoon proceeded to Chelsea to discharge sugar. Mr. A. C. Walker, to whom we are indebted for Fiji tiles, reports as follows of the trip : —The Arawata left Levuka on the 26th ultimo, at 5 p.m., calling at Suva and Navua ; she arrived back at Suva at 6.30 p.m. on the 27th, embarked cargo, mails, and passengers, and left at 12.30 p.m. on the 28tli. Passed Mount Washington at 6 p.m. the same day, and sighted the Poor Knights at 4 p.m. on the 2nd, passed Tiritiri at 3 p.m. on the 3rd, and arrived alongside the wharf at 4.15 a.m. yesterday morning. Fresh easterly winds were experienced till the 30th, thence strong westerly gales to arrival. The s.s. Nemesis, an iron screw steamer of 1392 tons gross register, which had been chartered by the Kauri Company through Messrs. Stone Bros, to take a cargo of 600.0U0 feet timber to Melbourne, made her appearance on Monday, Oct. 1, shortly before eleven o'clock, after a lengthy trip of ten days from Melbourne. The cause of her delay in arrival was owing to the fact of her having an insufficient supoly of coal, which obliged her to call at Sydney to replenish her bunkers. She sailed from "Melbourne on the 20th ult., and from Sydney on the 24th, and had a fair passage across until on Saturday strong westerly winds began and prevailed till port was reached. About noon on September 22 the American barque Albert Russell was taken in tow by the tug Awhina and conveyed past the Rangitoto Reef, where she was cast off and proceeded on her lengthy voyage. Captain Carver was accompanied down the harbour by Captains Sutherland and Perriam, of the ships Piako and Crusader respectively, and several other friends anxious to bid him "boil voyage." The Albert Russell takes a full cargo oi gum from Auckland, which is valued at the large figure of £33.507. On Sept. 24, the barque Lutterworth, Captain Streeter, arrived from Glasgow, via Port Chalmers, and anchored in the stream, off the Railway Wharf. She brings a part cargo of iron pipes and merchandise to Auckland, and is consigned to Messrs. Morrill and Co. The Lutterworth is an iron barque of 888 tons. Captain Streeter reports that she left Glasgow on the 19th -May, and anchored in Port Chalmers on August 28. Landed Dunedin consignments and sailed again on September 15, arriving as above. During the quarter ending September 30th there have been seven vessels with an aggregate tonnage 0f'2573 tons entered inwards from Australia at the Kaipara harbour, while outwards twelve craft aggregating 3873 tons have taken away timber valued at £9821.

SHIPPING SUMMARY. Since the departure of the last mail considerable activity lias been shown in shipping circles, consequent upon the arrival of several foreign-going vessels. September 10: Saw the warship Diamond come into port to await the notification of the arrival on the Australian station of H.M. s. Royalist, which relieves her. As soon as the news of the lattcr's reaching Albany is cabled, Captain Clayton and the Diamond will proceed direct to Portsmouth. The mail steamer Alameda arrived on the loth from San Francisco, bringing matter of the following dates :— London, August 11, New York August 18, and San Francisco August 25; besides a goodly list cf passengers and a quantity of American manufactures. .She left for Sydney the same evening. The same day, the lirst vessel of the season, with raw sugar from Fiji, reached port in the shape of the barque Belle Isle, which returned on October 1 with a back loading of coal. After having made a long stay in port, during which she was thoroughly repaired, the barque Coulnakyle sailed on the J 3th for Marseilles, with her original freight of copra and tallow. The barque Deva, with a general cargo of merchandise, got in on the 18th of September, and left again on October 3 lor Gisborne, to load wool for England. After a stormy voyage the barque Clairmont made the port on the 22nd with a cargo of ironwork and explosives; and, owing to the jettison that had been resorted to, as mentioned elsewhere in our shipping news, a general average was struck upon her cargo. She has discharged, and left for Wellington, for which port she has part carg,:;, on Saturday last.
