The schooner Welcome, in ballast, arrived from Roekharnpton this morning. Captain Cooper reports : Left Pilot Harbour, Rockhampton, at midnight on the 17th ; had variable winds and line weather during the passage : sighted the North Cape at daylight on the 31st: bad light westerly winds up the coast, till abreast off Kav.au ; thence strong south-west winds, with squalls, arriving on Queen-street Wharf at midnight. At an early hour yesterday morning the Union S.S. Co.'s s.s. Wairarapa arrived from Sydney, with general cargo and a large number of passengers, including 40 steerage. She sailed from Sydney at 2.30 p.m. on the 26th ultimo, made Three Kings at 8.30 a.m. on the SOth, rounded North Cape at 2 p.m., and arrived alongside Queen-street wharf as above, having experienced strong north-west winds and heavy hr.ad so. till the 29th, and thence light variable winds and fine weather to port. Shortly after daybreak yesterday the barque Star of the East, Captain Haveron, left her anchorage in the stream and sailed for New York direct. She took a valuable leargo of gum and three passengers. 1 he Swedish barque Stavanger was hauled into the stream yesterday morning, and will probably sail at an early hour to-day for London, with her original loading of guano. About six o'clock last evening the schooner Jessie Niccoi took her departure for Long Island, with a cargo of store's and sundries. >She loads back guano to this port. The Fiji steamer Arawata arrived at 5.30 a.m. yesterday from Levuka and Suva, with a cargo of raw sugar, fruit, and sundries, and several passengers. With the customary promptness that distinguishes the Union S.S. Company's vessels, no time was lost before the work of discharging was done, and about 1.30 the steamer had got out all her consignments for this port with the exception of #716 packages of sugar. She steamed up to the Sugar Works to discharge these, and left thence direct for Wellington during the evening. Of the trip from Fiji. Mr. Walker, the purser, reports: The Arawata left Levuka at 10 a.m. on the 24th October, and arrived at Suva at 3.15 p.m. She proceeded to Navua and loaded sugar on the 25th : embarked mails, passengers, and cargo at Suva, arid left at 1 p.m. the next day. She passed Mount Washington at (1.40 p.m.. and sighted Cape Brett at 11.30 a.m. on the3oth, arriving in Russell at 3.30 p.m. After discharging the through mails, passengers, and cargo for hydney, she left at 5.150 p.m. She passed -Liritiria.t4.lo a.m. on the 31st, and made last to the wharf at 5.30 a.m. During the trip strong south winds were experienced till the asth, thence variable winds with fine weather to arrival. The balance of the inward cargo of the China Steam Navigation Co.'s Taiyuan was got out early yesterday, and a large quantity of fungus and sundries for Hongkong taken on board. The Taiyuan sailed at about halfpast three for Wellington and the South, taking one passenger for Dunedin, and two 'Chinamen booked for Hongkong. We learn from the Union S.S. Co. that the $.s. Rotorna, having returned from Melbourne, will resume her running on tin West Coast, and the s.s. Wanaka vvillreturr to tbe Manukau to take up her special s*;r Vjcft on Friday

The mail steamer Mariposa, from this port to Sydney, though expected to arrive about midnight on Friday, or at least early on Saturday morning, did not reach port till 6.15 p.m. on Saturday, and the cause of her delay became in a few circles a matter of conjecture ; but upon arrival a very sufficient reason was given, for it appears that- on Thursday last the Mariposa ran into a heavy sea, which at times ran mountains high. Strong westerly winds were also encountered ; during the height of the gale the steamer was hove-to for seven hours, from (i.20 a.m. on the 20th. The Mariposa rolled, strained, and laboured very considerably, but she made good weather of the worst of it. and proved herself a most excellent sea-boat. It will be remembered that a few months ago the New South Wales Marine Board issued certain regulations for harbour steamers to have bulkheads fitted into them, in order to reduce the risk of foundering to a minimum should a collision or other accident happen. A deputation waited upon the Colonial Treasurer, and upon its representation the order was quashed. However, the directors of the Sydney North Shore FerryCompany have decided, notwithstanding that the Marine Board's regulation has been quashed, that in future, when repaint g their steamers for a new certificate, bulkheads will be fitted into them. The steamers Wallaby and Waratah have already had bulkheads fitted, and, although these alterations are not compulsory, the Marine Board surveyors have expressed their entire approval. It is understood that it is the intention of the company to have the whole of their vessels similarly provided, and to have all the seats to float in the event of disaster, but several of the company's steamers are at present so fitted in that respect. The following paragraph is from the Shipping Guide of October 24 : A barque arrived at Melbourne lately with general cargo, including some powder. It was ascertained that a portion of the latter had got adrift among the other cargo. There were both Wasting powder and dynamite in packages found to be missing, and the only possible presumption was that the kegs had rolled along into another part of the ship during bad weather. A search was instituted with the usual naked candle, of course, but to no purpose. On one of the officers going below he found to his horror, a candle stuck right in the centre of an ullage keg of blasting powder. It had been extinguished, luckily, to his relief, but on questioning the watch, one of the crew, with a smile quite childlike and bland, said he Fought dat vas beans." He had puffed out the light as it stood in the centre of that keg of destruction with far less concern than had it been held in a shining brass candlestick. " Where ignorance is bliss," etc. Messrs. Money igram and Sons steamer Essex has arrived at London in tow of three tugs, thus completing a voyage from Australia which lias been attended by a series of mishaps. Firstly, her cargo took fire in the Rett Sea. and in" order to put out the same the vessel was scuttled and sunk. Shortly after resuming her voyage, her commander, Captain Longley. took sick, and the Essex put into Lisbon for medical advice; and now it is gleaned that the steamer passed Gravesend at 11.40 a.m. on September 9 in tow of three tugs, with her engines disabled.
