A NEW BARQUENTINE. Advices from Whangaroa state that Messrs. Lane and Brown, the well • known shipbuilders, have just completed and launched & three-masted schooner of about 300 tons burden. They have had the vessel on the stocks for a couple of years, and great care has been exercised in her building, as also in selecting the kauri for her planking and pohutukawa for her timbers. Tlie vessel, which was christened the Rainbow by Miss Lane in the presence of a large crowd of spectators, is very similar in style and appearance to the well-known three - masted schooner Maile, built by Messrs. Lane and Brown some years ago for Messrs. McArthur and Co. The Rainbow's dimensions are- —Length on keel, 120 feet: beam, 28 feet 7 inches; depth of hold, 13f eet. The vessel is intended for the Australian coastal trade, and will leave shortly under charge of Captain McDonald, late of the schooner Clyde. THE SHIP WAITANGI. After a rather lengthy voyage of 111 days, the New Zealand Shipping Co.'s clipper snip Waitangi arrived in port on Aug. 22, with a full cargo of general merchandise valued at £41,900, after an absence of about two years from these waters. The Waitangi, which comes into port in spick and span condition, is still under command of Captain Thomas Leeman, so popularly known in the port, who is on the present trip accompanied by Mrs. Leeman and child. The ship's officers have been changed since her last visit, for although Mr. W. Res ton still holds his position as chief, Messrs. J. Thompson and Maxwell are now respectively second and third. The trip has not been a very eventful one, being marked by bad weather and heavy gales off the Cape of Good Hope, which retarded tho vessel without doing her any injury. Adverse winds also delayed the ▼easel between Tasmania and Mew Zealand, she being IS days from (be South Cape of the

''tight little isla 'd" to port. On the Bth inst. a startling incident broke the monotony of the voyage. At noon on that date, the wind being N. W. and the vessel going about 10& knots, an A.B. named Brown Adams fell overboard from the martingale. Though the sea was running in huge billows about ten feet high, no time was lost in lowering a boat, and chief officer Reston and his crew succeeded in rescuing the seaman and getting him safely on. board again in half an hour. Adams was in a very exhausted state when picked up, but recovered speedily after the application of restoratives.

Th<3 whaleship Niger, Captain Chase, which left Russell in March last, reached New Bedford all well on July 9. One whale was taken on the passage. The New Zealand Shipping Co.'s clipper vessel Waimate, Captain Canese, sailed for London on Aug. 30, having a full and valuable cargo of varied colonial products, the main items on her freight list being 3690 cases gum, 951 bales flax, and 550 bales 'wool. The numerous friends of Captain Canese will wish him a prosperous and speedy voyage home. SHIPPING SUMMARY. Since our last, which went forward on 11th August, shipping business has kept up to its ordinary standard, until within the last ten days, when the striking of all the. seamen, labourers, and carters connected with maritime traffic caused a sudden stoppage of nearly all steam traffic, thereby enhancing the value of sailing tonnage greatly, rates for coastal and Australian charters rising as high as 25s per ton. The scarcity of disengaged bottoms in New Zealand ports will probably cause high freights, though not such extreme values as quoted above, to be maintained for some time, even if the labour troubles cease quickly. The mail steamer Mariposa, which takes this on her return voyage to San Francisco, arrived here on August 10, leaving the same day for Sydney. On the 19th the Norwegian barque Lernaudo, a new vessel of 317 tons, arrived from Apia, Samoa, in a leaky condition, and is now being recoppered and repaired The N.Z.S. Co.'s ship Waitangi reached port on August 22 with merchandise from London, and good despatch was made with tier discharge till the 2nd instant, when the lumpers engaged struck work, because some of the consignee firms had allowed their clerks to belli unloading some of the boycotted Union S.S. Co.'s steamers. The ship was moored in the stream, but arrangements have been made to re-start her discharge to-day. The ship Margaret Galbraith, which brought in 1150 tons of salt from Gloucester, discharged both her Auckland and Napier portions here, and left in ballast on August 28 for Oamaru, where she loads for home. The Waimate, of the N.Z.S. Co.'s line, left port on August 30 with a varied and valuable freight, the main items being kauri gum and flax. On August 30, the barque William lurmr brought up a full cargo of raw sugar from Fiji for the local refinery, the s.s. Pukaki having landed a supply the week previously. The intercolonial trade in coal from, and timber and produce back to, Australia, has kept up to its usual amount, while the island baiter of fruit, copra, &c., for provisions and timber, lias been somewhat brisker, the Union S.S. Co.'s steamers taking iarge cargoes. The American barquentine William Phillips, with a full freighting of gum and liax, left port on September 2. The Carrie L. Tyler, from New York,reached from the South on Saturday, and will begin to load her home freight almost at once.

FREIGHTS. Messrs. C. F. James and Co. report on September Gf—" Our last report was dated the 11th ultimo. Since then the freight market has been greatly excited, owing to strikes and their consequences, and the already brisk demand for sailing tonnage has been intensified owing to their having so fat* avoided being involved in the suicidal struggle. Freights have gone up a hundred per cent., and 29s lias been given from South for Auckland. The Silver Cloud and Notero have been taken up from here for South to load produce on time charter, while the Devonport proceeds South to load wheat back. For Sydney the Kenilworth and Darcy Pratt take produce, chartered at lump sum. The Oamaru and Eliza Firth have sailed with cargoes of Newcastle coal for here. Several vessels could be placed a' high rates, which the bareness of the market will tend to maintain for some time after the. strike ceascs. Timber and guano requirements are still open as previously advised. For Sydney the Northern Chief, Adelaide, Grecian Bend, Three Cheers, and Lilian Donan, take timber cargoes, and for Melbourne the Brunette, Fairy Rock, Sir John Franklin, Wrestler, and W. F. Witzmaun, at usual rates.
