Early yesterday morning the s.s. Te Kapo, Captain Allman, arrived from Sydney, after a rather lengthy trip of five and a-half days. The Te Kapo brings a fair number of passengers and a quantity of general cargo. Mr. 'etherbridge, the purser, to whom we are indebted for Sydney files, reports that the steamer left Sydney at 8.30 p.m. on March 28, and had light variable winds and fine weather on the trip across. The North Cape was rounded on Wednesday morning, and the Te Kapo berthed at the Queen-street Wharf at 7 a.m. yesterday. During the day she was busily discharging her inward freight, and took in a quantity of fruit, sugar, and general cargo for the South, whither she sailed at midnight, having a good number of passengers from Auckland, in addition to those booked through from Australia. The Northern S.S. Co.'s lona arrived yesterday morning, with numeroue passengers, from Tauranga, Mercury Bay, etc. In the evening she left on her return trip to the latter port and Kuaotunu. The brigantine Adelaide sailed for this port from Newcastle, on March 23rd. From Sydney files we learn that the wellknown three-masted schooner Buster has been fixed for a cruise in the New Britain Group to fill up with copra for Marseilles. The opposition steamers of the Union and Ellis lines, the Waihora (whioh has replaced the Hauroto), and tho Jubilee, are expected to arrive hero and sail for Sydney on SaturdoLast evening the s.s. Wellington sailed for Whangarei with a number of passengers and general freight. . In the report of the arrival of the ship Mount Carmel, which reached Sydney last week, the Sydney Morning Herald states :— "When in 45dog. 3. and 65deg. L., blowing at the time a gale from N.W., an A.B. fell from the main upper topgallant yard, and was drowned. Everything that could be done was done to recover the poor fellow, but to no purpose. The deceased, it is said, as a native of New Zealand, named J. Milne, a son of an old and highly respected pilot at, it is believed, the Bay of Islands. The barque Lurhne, Auckland to New York, 88 days out, was spoken in 25deg. B. 32deg. W., by the Mount Carmel, all well." t,. . W About 6 o'clock last evening the s.S. Richmond sailed for Tonga, Tahiti, eto., with a lame cargo and numerous passengers. A terrific hurricane and floods are reported from RookhamDton Qu(wn.ll»nd, to have occurred on March 241h. The wharfs were submerged, and numerous lighters, gleam launches, and other small .were sunk. All the shipping under the lee of the jetty and Magnetic Island, rode out the gale ■nlendidlv. though 'die sea was mountains fiS£ A A.tfS.N. Co.'s large steamer Jramac took 20 hours to steam 10 miles to

get under Magnetic Island. Captain Lake says it was the most terrific gale no ever experienced. ... H.M.S. Opal is to leave Sydney on the Bth instant, and go home via Adelaide, Albany,. Seychelles, and the Canal. The handsome four - masted American schooner W. F. Weitrmann, Captain Johnson. well known in the West Coast timber trade, had soma rough expedience on nor last ran from the Kaipara to Sydney. On March 16 an easterly "buster" overtook her. The vessel laboured tremendously, shifting her deck cargo, and two logs, were lost. Ihe Weitzmann was hove-to for several hours, an enormous sea running. After t.iat she had :3ne weather to arrival. The number and tonnage of Brit vessels respecting whose loss reports were received at the Board of Trade during thi) month of January, 1890, and the number of li ves lost, are as follow:59 sailing ships, 22,1196 tons —lives lost, 3S; 9 steamers. 9570 tons—lives lost, 'JO: total, OS vessels, 1,072 tons—lives lost, (57. This is a recoil of "reports received" in the month, and not of wrecks which occurred during the month. Many of the reports received in January relate to casualties which occurred in previousmonths. Casualties not resulting in total loss _of .vessels, and the lives lost by such casualties, are not included.
