About haif-pa.-.t 9 o'clock yesterday the Union S.S. Co.'s Wairarapa, Captain Chatfield, arrived from Sydney with a number of passengers and general freight. Mr. Tayler, the purser, reports! that the steamer left Sydney at 4.35 p.m. on the Ist instant, clearing the Heads at 5.18. Moderate weather and fresh S.E. winds were experienced on the trip across, "i'wi Three Kings! were sighted at midday on the oth instant, and the North Cape rounded the same day at 8.; : p.m., the steamer reaching the Queenstreet Wharf as above.

The Northern S.S. Co.'s Chelmsford arrived about 1 p.m. yesterday from Opotiki with several passenger.*, and a cargo of GOO sacks maize and a quantity of poultry. On her recent trip from Auckland to Sydney the R.M. s.s. Zcalandiaexperienced very rough weather, and had to lay to for 17 hours. During the storm heavy seas broke on board, which carried away a portion of the bridge and did other damage on deck. Ye* ?rday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, the locally-owned barque Caberfeiclh made the harbour, and was towed to a berth alogside the Hobson-street wharf. It will be remembered that about six weeks ago this vessel, while en ro-tiie from Helensville to Melbourne, timber-laden, got on the Tory Shoal at the entrance to the Eaipar.. Harbour, and suffered considerable damage through straining. She wait towed to Helensville, and discharged there. While unloading, an accident occurred, by which a log fell from the slings and injured one of the seamen, besides making a huge dent in the deck, which is'now very clearly discernible. The work of patching up the barque was entrusted to Mr. 1). Gouk, and on the 22nd ultimo the Caberfeidh sailed under his charge for this port. Exceptionally heavy weather on the West Coast and oti the North Cape retarded the vessel's progress, and last week she had to put into Russell for shelter. Sailing on Sunday, she had fine weather to arrival. The vessel has a considerable quantity of water in her hold, and will be docked in v. day or so for thorough examination and repairs. The s.s. Te Anau arrived from Melbourne by way of the South, with a cargo of sundries and produce, and a large number of passengers, about 11 o'clock yesterday. She left Williamstown at 4.15 p.m. on the 23rd ultimo, and cleared Port Phillip Heads at 6.45 p.m. Swan Island was abeam at noon on the 24th, and the vessel arrived at Hobart at 6 a.m. on the 25th: sailing at 3.20 p.m. the same day. PuysegtU" Point was abeam at 4 p.m. ou the 28th, and she arrived at the Blufi at S a.m. on the 29th. She left the same day at 4.30 p.m., and called at Dunedin on the 30th, Lyttelton on the Ist instant, Wellington on the 2nd, Napier on the 4th, and Gisborne on the sth. Leaving the latter port at 9.30 a.m., she rounded the East Cape at 3.45 p.m., and arrived as above, having experienced moderate winds and fine weather , during the passage. The ship Blair Drummond hauled out into the stream yesterday from her berth at the Queen-street Wharf, and will probably clear and sail to-day for Wellington, where she is to load with colonial products for London. Yesterday evening the Union S.S. Co.'s Australia took her departure for East Coast ports With passengers and general cargo. -The barquentine Yolande, recently arrived at the Kaipara, is to load there with baulk and flitch timber for Shanghai on behalf of the Kauri Timber Company. The little steamer Ruby tried her new boilers yesterday with satisfactory results. She is now in splendid condition, and should become a favourite with those travelling to the Upper Thames district, upon which ser"*<e she starts to-morrow.

The Australian Shipping News of July 27 states, in regard to the American barque Mary A. Greenwood, which went ashore on the Brazilian coast:—" A further telegram from our London agents advise that she will be a total wreck, but that a portion ol the cargo probably will be saved." , A dry dock of enormous proportions is at present bring made in the old country for Zarate, near Buenos Ayres. It is designed for the purpose of drv-docking and floating vessels of 5000 tons, and is to be constructed in siv h a wav that it may afterwards be read'iv adapted, if necessary, to accommodate craft of twice that weight.

AUSTRALIAN WRECKS. By advices to hand from Sydney we learn that exceptionally severe weather has been prevailing on the east coast of Australia, and a number of vessels have been wrecked or seriously damaged. The vessel mentioned in our cablegrams as the " Nicol," which was reported wrecked near Seal Rocks, turns out to be the Sydneyowned schooner Nicolsi, as surmised in the Herald. She was a handsome and well-found vessel of 110 tons, and was on a voyage from Kambucca River to Sydney, timber laden. Continuous bid weather compelled her to lie in Tual Bay in an exposed position for 14 days, and going to sea again met a fierce southerly gale. The water was found to be raining, and the crew took to the boats, and had only got 150 yards away when the Nicolai foundered. All "hands wore picked up by pas si steamers and landed safely. The schooner Jessie Matilda was driven ashore near Clarence River, and battered to pieces. No less than five vessels were dashed ashore at Byron Bay, and all save one, the schooner Agnes, were broken up. The illfated quartette were the schooners Hastings, Spurwing, and Bannockburn, and the brig Fawn. Portions of the Fawn were carried for miles along the coast. But 10 feet of the keel of the Hastings, with the rudder hanging to the sternpost, and abut '2l feet of the bottom of the Spurwing was to be seen the next day. the piece of hull being bottom up. The Bannoekburn is sunk, the water beiiiff level with the shear-poles at low water, and her decks gone. The s.s. Maranoa, while on her passage from Sydney to Brisbane, encountered veryheavy weather, which necessitated the vessel being hove-to for IS hours. Quartermaster Broodhead was lost and seven horses were killed. Mr. Charles Santley was on board, and he. on behalf of the passengers, presented to Captain Armstrong an address and a purse of sovereigns in testimony of their appreciation of the captain's excellent seamanship. The barque Mallsgate, which left Newcastle for San Francisco, struck on a reef 3SQ miles from the Australian coast. The crew barelv had time :o get into two boats. One containing the captain and nine men has reached Brisbane. On July 13th the American ship Rosie Welt, from Newcastle to Singapore with coal, struck on a reef near the bly River, New Guinea, and became a total wreck. The captain and ejeven men arrived at Thursday Island safely in the long boat, and the mate and seven men arrived in another boat the next day. No one was drowned.
