At noun yesterday the s.s. Chelmsford sailed far her usual ports in the Bay of Plenty, being well patronised with freight and pasaongers. The brigantine Lady Mabel took up the berth at the Hobson-street Wharf vacated by th'j barque Presto, and began to discharge her coals there yesterday morning. An announcement is made elsewhere by Messrs. Tonks and Co. that they will sell by auction the well-known clipper schooner V'index, with gear and sails complete, jus she now lies in harbour. The Viiidex was specially built for the pilot service, and is a fast S-'.ailer and good sea boat. Yesterday evening the s.s. Maitai took her dejiai turfe for the East Coast and Wellington with a general freight of stores and sundries and half-a-dozen passengers. About 12.30 o'clock yesterday the Union B.S. Co.'s steamer Te Anau, of which Capt. J. lclnfcosh has again taken command, arrived in port from Sydney with about 30 passengers and a quantity of boned list, bones, and General freight. Lhe purser reports that she left Sydney at 5 p.m. on the 21st instant, and cleared Port Jackson Heads at 6 p.m. the sajne day. The Three Kings were abeam at SJol) p.m. on the 25th, and • the steamer rounded the North Cape at 7.40 p.m. the eame day, and arrived as above, haying experienced strong southerly winds and fine weather to the North Cape, and thence moderate ivinds and showery weather to arrival. Yesterday forenoon the barque Belle Isle, Captain McCJeehan, arrived from Newcastle with a load of bonedust and coal. She left on March 17, with light northerly winds, /-which' continued for four days, and were Alien succeeded'by fresh W. andS.W. breezes .'to port. The North Cape was rounded at 3 i a.w. ooi the 25th, and Tin was abeam at 10

a.m. yesterday, the barque being brought into port by the tug Awhina, and berthed ail the Railway Wharf. The Island schooner Olive yesterday morn ing hauled out from her berth at the Queenstreet Wharf and proceeded to the powder ground, where she took in a Quantity of powder for Nuie, for which place, as well as Wallis Island and Apia, she had a full cargo of o-eneral stores on board. The Olive also | toot four passengers. She sailed during the afternoon. __ , „ , During yesterday the Union Co. s Manapouri was taking in a quantity of produce, general merchandise, and butter, and in the evening site took her departure for Sydney, with about GO passengers. Last night the s.s. Douglas arrived from Opotiki and Bay of Plenty Ports, with several passengers and 300 sacks maize and 50 sacks gum. During one day, March the 14th, no less than ten vessels left the port of Newcastle, taking away the large quantity of 14,288 tons. The torpedo lost from H.M.s. Orlando, on Friday night, during practice, has not yet been recovered, and it is surmised that it sank shortly after being discharged from the tube, as it was not seen to rise to the surface. as torpedoes usually do. To allay the fears of any residents at the Shore or boating men, it may be stated that the lost torpedo was like all used in practice, a "dummy,' and non-explosive. It was being tried in anticipation of being used at a class of instruction which the torpedo lieutenant of H.M.s. Orlando purposes to hold shortly for the benefit of the corps of the Permanent Artillery who are set apart for that branch of defence at the North Shore. From the Hobart Mercury of a recent date we extract the following account of the collision between the barque Dundale and H.M.s. Swinger, at Hobart: —1 ho Dundale was drawing up to anchor about S.lo p.m., when she ran foul of H.M.s. Swinger. .Captain Cleary was piloting the barque up the river, and he, the captain and the mate were all on the look out for obstacles, but owing to the darkness of the night, and the lights of the city standing out behind those of the warboat, the Swinger was not seen until the barque was almost on to "her, when the anchor was dropped immediately, but not iu time to save a foul. The barque moved on and on until alongside thewarboat, when the anchor chain began to draw, but meantime a little of the stem gear of the Swinger damaged, including lie jib boom. '.1 he anchor was lifted and kedge dropped, and the barque's crew began to haul on, when all had the satisfaction of seeing the barque move bodily away without further damage. She dropped anchor further down the river and quite out of danger. Capt. Trevena gives it as his opinion that H.M.s. Egeria and Swinger are most decidedly in the fairway, and savs that as they are lying just in the range of the lights of the city it is most difficult to distinguish them at dark. Int-ending passengers for the South by the s.s. Te Anau to-morrow will save themselves inconvenience by noting that the steamer will sail from the Railway Wharf instead of the Queen-street Wharf as customary.
