THE SHir HERMIONE. After ail absence of several years from this port the well-known Shaw, Savill, anil Albion Co.'s clipper ship arrived from London on Thursday, Nov. ti, with a full freighting of merchandise. She is in command of Captain .T. Parker, formerly of the Haleione, who is well acquainted here. The ship sailed from the East India Docks on July .3, and after taking in explosives at Gravesond in the afternoon, got away the same night, anchoring in the Downs on the 20th. Sailing thence on the '27th, she hail strong head winds down the Channel, and did not get clear of the land till Augusts. In 39deg. 30miu. N. the ship was passed by the s.s. Arawa, and when 14 days out Madeira was sighted. The N.E. trades were picked up in 27deg. N. 20deg. W., and proved moderate, finally giving out in 12deg. 32min. N. Westerlies and fresh southerlies were had, and under their influence the Hermione crossed the equator on August 'JS. Next day in ldeg. 20min. S. the S.K. trades were fallen in with, and beiii|r strong and lasting, carried the vessel to 'JSdeg. l.'Jsee S. before she lost them on September 5. The meridian of the Cape of Good Hope was passed in MOdeg. S. oil September 28, and the llennione began to run down the easting between the parallels of 4->deg. and 45deg. S. Very foggy weather with light winds prevailed across the South cm Ocean. The longitude of Cane Leeuwin was reached on October 10, and Tasmania rounded <>n the 28th. Fresh breezes prevailed to the Three Kings, which were made on November 3, and owing to strong \\ . and S.W. winds the ship was hovc-to oil' the Hen ami Chickens on the night of November 4 Filling away on the morning of the sth, she sighted 'I'iri at 4 p.m. the same afternoon, and picked up the pilot.

FLOTSAM AND JETSAM. - TIMBER ASHORE ON NORTHERN COAST. On Nov. 1, our correspondent at Mangonui wired as follows :—" There has la-en a large quantity of sawn kauri timber, very long lengths, washed up on the Ahipara Beach, within the last week. The timber has apparently been in the water about six weeks."

Intelligence of a similar nature also came to hand to the Collector of Customs from Russell, the officer there telegraphing : " The constable at Mangonui reports to the Inspector of Police here, that he had received information that about thirty pieces of sawn timber had come on shore on the est Coast Beach, about 40 miles north of Awanui. No information as to brands, and no other description of the wreckage was given."

There is not much doubt but that this timber has fofmed part of the cargo of the 'oarquentine Sir John Franklin. She left Kaipara on September 17th for Melbourne, where she has since arrived, the master reporting that on the l'Jtii hist. the vessel encountered a severe gale, with mountainous seas. These latter breaking on board dislodged the deck cargo and washed about half of it overboard. The severe weather continuing, it was found expedient, as the balance could not be stowed properly, to jettison it. and this has probably drifted at the mercy of the waves till it found a resting place on the exposed beaches on the West Coast. Confirmatory evidence that the flotsam discovered belonged to the- Sir John Franklin is furnished by the fact that she was the only timber vessel despatched recently that earried any " long lengths " in her cargo.

The American barque Clan Maclcod, with a full freighting of" gum and flax, sailed on Nov. 13, for New York direct. The steamer Little Agnes arrived from Rarotonga about a.m. on Thurs., NoV. '27, She left Rarotonga on the 14th at 0 p.m., and experienced S. and south-westerly winds to Sunday Island, which was passed at 10 p.m. on the 22nd ; thence S. W. and westerly winds were experienced until the Barrier was sighted at noon on the 20th, and a strong N. W, wind and rain were met with crossing the HaurakiUulf. At noon on Sat., Nov. S, the Oceanic Co. fine steamer Mariposa, Captain 11. M. Hayward, arrived from San Francisco, with the English and American mails, after a good trip of 19 days 18 hours. She brought a large amount of general cargo for this port, and has also her usual complement for Australia. As customary, the Mariposa was well patronised with passengers, having 28 for this port and 70 in transit for Australia, for which place she sailed next day. At 7 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 18, the Union S.S. Co.'s Island packet Wainui returned from her periodical visit to the Navigator, Friendly, and Fiji groups. She brought a large freight of sugar and fruit, and several passengers. Of the round trip, the major portion of which was marked by good weather, Mr. A. C. Walker, the purser, reports :—Leaving Auckland on October 24, the Wainui arrived at Nukualofa (Tonga) at 1 p.m. on the MOth. She reached Haapai at 7 a.m. on 31st, and was at van the same night. She arrrived at Apia (Samoa) at 0 a.m. on November 3, and discharged and loaded freight, leaving at 5 p.m. for Fiji. She passed Neiafu on the 4th, making Suva at 12 a.m. on the 6th. After loading a quantity of sugar at Laucala Bay, she got away at 12 a.m. on the 9th. Proceeded to Mango Island, where she arrived next morning, and loaded sugar till 4 p.m., then left for Vavau (Tonga), making that port at 0 a.m. on the l'2th, and Laving again at 11 a.m. for Nukualofa. Here mails, passengers, and cargo were embarked, and the vessel cleared away for Auckland, at 1 p.m. on the 13th inst., reaching port as above.

SHIPPING SUMMARY.

The period which has elapsed since our last summary went forward has been rather dull as regards shipping business. The coastal and intercolonial steam traffic has been fairly maintained, though the Union S.S. Co.'s vessels are still only running fortnightly to Australia instead of weekly, as in previous summer seasons. The island services are well kept up by the regular traders. The Shaw-Savi'l ship Hermione, which arrived on the 6th November, has completed her unloading, and is now lying in stream awaiting her turn to load, as the Machrihanish, now on the coast on her way here from Capetown, under charter to the New Zealand Shipping Company, is to precede her on the berth for London. On the 25th, H.M.s. Curacoa, one of the recent additions to the Australian Squadron, paid her first visit to this port, and is to leave next week on a visit to Southern ports. The Government steamer Hinemoa eaine in on the 20th, and brought the balance of the settlers from the now abandoned settlement at Sunday Island, Kermadecs Group. Of the clearances outwards, the most important are those of the barques Clan Macleod and B. Webster, which sailed on the 10th and 11th November respectively for New York, with full cargoes of gum and flax. A considerable quantity of coal—more than ordinaryhas been exported to Fiji this month, the two extra steamers bringing back raw sugar. The ship Zealandia, which had a, valuable cargo, the chief item of which was gum, sailed for London on Saturday morning.
