During yesterday the crew of Messrs. Niceol and Son's schooner Clansman were busy in getting everything ready for an early departure for Noumea and Long Island. The Clansman has now on board a full freighting of timber, breadstuff* and provisions, and ■was cleared at the Customs yesterday for the ports named. The bulk of her cargo is for Noumea, and at Long Island she is fixed to fill up with guano for Dunedin. She takes one passenger, Mr. D. Peacock, for Long Island. The barque Madura, with about 500 tons of coal, sailed for this port from Newcastle on June 4, while the locally-owned brigantine Aratapu, with a similar freight, left on the 17th. From Maryborough the brigantine Magellan Cloud left for this port on May 211 th. The barque Loongana has nearly completed the discharge of her cargo of coal, and was yesterday entered out for Sydney. She will likely load timber at one of the coastal ports. Punctually to her announced time for departure the mail steamer Mariposa sailed yesterdayafternoonfrom this port, tocontinue her voyage to San Francisco with the outward colonial mails for America and Europe, by way of Tutuila and Honolulu. In addition to the 52 passengers she had on board in transit from Sydney, she took from Auckland 19 cabin and 23 steerage. A considerable quantity of freight was also shipped at this port, comprising, potatoes, onions, and rope for Honolulu, and about 1300 bales of flax, and small consignments of gum and pelts for San Francisco. The Mariposa's departure was witnessed by a large number of spectators. The barque Largo Bay, Captain J. Smith, which on her present trip comes under charter to the Shaw-Savill and Albion Company, is now 73 days out from London, and should arrive in the early part of next month. The Union S.S. Co. s Mararoa is keeping np her record for fast passages, as she last night unexpectedly arrived from Sydney after a trip of only 3 days 22 hours, that is allowing for the difference of time. She brought a good number of passengers and a quantity of mixed freight. The purser reports that she sailed from Sydney at 6.30 p.m. on the 12th instant, and had variable winds and smooch sea with heavy tropical rains ; she passed the -Three Kings at 1 a.m. on the 16th, and rounded the North Cape at 5 a.m. next day being abreast, Cane Brett at 10.40 a.m., and made fast alongside the Queen-street Wharf at 0.30 p.m. yesterday.

The s.s. Wellington returned from her regular bi-weekly trip to Wbangarei with passengers and cargo at 1 a.m. Prince George of Wales, who commissioned the Thrush on May 6, being born on June 3. 1865, is probably the youngest commander of a vessel of 800 tons and 1200-horse power that the navy has! seen for many a long day. Amongst his officers are—Lieut. Charles F. Thorp, who served as a midshipman with the Duke of Edinburgh in the Minotaur, and who was with Prince George during the last naval manoeuvres in torpedo boat No. 79, and distinguished himself at Greenwich College by obtaining five first-class certificates, which gave him his promotion to lieutenant nearly three years before he would have obtained it in theordinary course. Sub-lieutenant Lionel F. W. Sanders, who is to be the officer responsible for the navigating duties of the Thrush, has had considerable experience on board the Goshawk and Firefly gunboats. Mr. Cornelius Stewart, the engineer officer, lias a high reputation, professionally and socially, and, though just promoted, is to be retained in the ship. GUNBOATS FOR LIVER SERVICE. The British Admiralty have contracted with the well-known builders of Poplar, Messrs. Yarrow and Co., for the immediate construction of two steel shallow-draught gunboats for the navigation of the Zambesi and Shire rivers. These boats are of the stern-wheel type, of which the builders have constructed a large number. They are 85 feet in length by IS feet beam, with a minimum draught of IS inches. The boiler is placed at Tie forward cud of the vessel, and the engines at the stern. There will be a main deck and an upper deck, and on both these decks will be placed suitable armament. These little vessels will be shipped in pieces, and put together on their arrival in East Africa; but it is proposed that one of these shall be launched on the Thames, so as to thoroughly test their steaming capabilities. The most extraordinary part of the contract with Messrs. Yarrow and Co. is that they have undertaken to put them together at the mouth of the river, and have them ready for steaming within '24 hours after arrival; and this is to be done in the open roadstead withing going ashore or in any way using the bank of the iiver, which is Portuguese property, for thfe operation. Messrs. Yarrow and Co. also have in the course of construction six gunboats for the Portuguese Government, which are destined for service in the same district. These were ordered immediately after the recent Portuguese expedition, commanded by Major Serpa Pinto, up the Zambesi in three steamers also built by the same firm, which expedition attracted so much attention at the early part of the year. The Portuguese will, consequently, before many months have passed, have a small fleet, consisting of nine gunboats, under their command in this district. PORT OF ONEHUNGA. ARRIVALS.
