On Saturday the various vessels of the Northern S.S. Co.'s fleet were busily discharging their cargo at the Queen-street Wharf. The s.s. Janet Nicoll is unloading her Brisbane coal into the Union S.S. Co.'s hulks at the Queen-street Wharf with free labour. At No. 2 Jetty the ship Zealandia is steadily getting out her inward cargo in good order. The schooner Louie has been cleared for Lyttelton via the Thames, and will sail today for the latter port,_ where she is to take in 76,000 feet sawn timber. During Saturday evening the Union S.S. Co.'s fine steamer Monowai was busily shipping a large cargo of potatoes, maize, and sundries for Sydney, whither she sailed at midnight, taking a good number of passengers. Our cable advices inform us that the s.s. Kwei Yang did not leave Sydney as advised previously, but sailed for this port only late on Friday last. As she is a powerful new vessel of 2000 tons burden, she is expected to arrive here early on Wednesday, and her cargo of new season's teas will be eagerly awaited by the consignees. The Kwei Yang will, on the completion of her discharge, proceed to Hongkong via the South. THE SHIP RANGITIKEI. Yesterday forenoon, about 11 o'clock, the New Zealand Shipping Co.'s clipper vessel Rangitikei arrived in port from London, and cast anchor at the powder ground. She made a good passage of 86 days from land to land, or 95 days from the docks to anchorage. The Rangitikei brings a large and varied cargo, valued at £27,700, included amidst which are about 50 tons of explosives. The tr ip out has been an uneventful one, and though no strong gales were met with, no exceptionally rough weather was experienced. The ship left London on June 23. and experienced heavy contrary winds in the Channel, and it was not till the 29th that she cleared Cape Ushant. -V strong gale was encountered in the Hay of Biscay, after which the vessel had a favourable run into the region of the trade winds, which were picked up on July 5. They proved strong, and carried the ship to 11' N. Variables were then had till reaching 3" N., where the S.E. trades were fallen in with. Under their influence the Rangitikei crossed the Line on July 25 in 25" W., but the trades were lost in 30" S. on August 7, and strong southerly and westerly winds thence to the Cape of Good Hope, whose meridian was passed on August 20. A succession of heavy, westerly gales prevailed while crossing the Southern Ocean.

which was done between the parallel* of 48" and 49' S., and the vessel made the Leeuwin on September 7, in the good time of 17 days from the Cape of Good Hope. Somewhat adverse winds prevailed down to off Tasmania, and strong easterly winds retarded the ship there for five days. The Three Kings were sighted on September 24, but an easterly gale outside the Hen and Chickens delayed the vessel in coming up the coast, and she had to head to the northward. Favourable winds being met with she came along to Cape Brett on the 27th, and sighted Tiri at 4 a.m. yesterday. The tog Awhina met her in the Channel at 9 a.m., and she was brought into port as described above. Captain H. T. Middle ton, who now commands the Rangitikei, is well known in this port, having been here previously as chief officer, since when he has been chief officer of the Rangitikei. The officers sailing with him are:—Chief, Mr. G. H. Noakes (late of the Waimea): second, Mr. R. B. Skeat: third, Mr. J. H. Rochfort. The ship will probably begin to discharge her gunpowder into lighters off St. Georges Bay to-day, and berth at the Queen-street Wharf on Tuesday PORT OF ONEHCJNQA. ARRIVALS.
