Evitt, Queen-street. On Saturday morning the Union S.S. Co.'s Fiji steamer Taupo discharged her part cargo of sugar at Chelsea, and in the evening left port for Wellington, for which port she brought large consignments of fruit from Suva. The barque Gazelle has berthed at No. 2 Vetty and began to put out her Southern wheat there on Saturday for the Northern Roller Mills. At an early hour yesterday the Northern B.S. Co.'s Clansman reached port from Tauranga with general cargo and passengers. The scuttled ship Leading Wind still lies in the same position as yesterday to the westward of the Hobson-street Wharf. At the Quay-street Wharf the barquentine Silver Cloud has almost completed the discharge of her cargo of oats from the Bluff', and will shortly shift her berth to make room for the barque Ganymede. Cable advices from Newcastle announce that on Saturday the barque Northern Chief, barquentine Waitemata, and schooner Three Cheers sailed for Auckland coal laden. An interesting trial of speed should result beween the three craft. Mr. J. H. Spooner, chief officer of the barque Ganymede, which arrived from the South yesterday, had, just before he joined that vessel a fortnight ago at Oamaru, come out from home with the powerful new tug tug Mana for the Timaru Harbour Board, a craft which is said to be the best equipped of her class in New Zealand.

R.M.F. ALAMEDA. The out-going Sail Francisco mail steamer Alameda, Captain H. G. Morse, came into port yesterday atternoon, at 2.30 o'clock, after a good run from Sydney of 3 days 18 hours 56 minutes. As usual, this popular vessel had a large number of passengers on board, her list including 14 for this port, besides 50 in transit for San Francisco. Of the trip across from Australia, Mr. J. B. Sutton, the purser, who kindly furnished us •with exchanges, reports The Alameda left Sydney on the '21st instant, discharging the Port Jackson pilot at 5 p.m. on that day. She had variable winds but smooth sea throughout the trip, and picked up the local pilot at 1.30 p.m. yesterday, reaching the wharf as mentioned above. As soon as her mails from Sydney and passengers were landed, the Alameda began to take in a quantity of c»al from the Union S.S. Co's hulks, as well as the first of the 250 tons of general cargo which was awaiting her here for forwarding to Honolulu and San Francisco. The Alameda leaves at 2 p.m. to-day. THE BARQUE GANYMEDE. •This vessel, a fine specimen of New Zea-land-owned craft, is a clipper iron barque of 500 tons, belonging to Mr. T. White, of Hmaru. and under the charge of Captain J. W. ■ Rolleston. On her present trip she brings from Oaniu.ru a full cargo of about 1000 tons of grain consigned to the Northern Roller Milling Company. The Ganymede is not quite a stranger to these waters, having ■ - ;• - _ X j

loaded here about five years ago for London, she being then under the command of Captain Morgan. The present trip began on the morning of the 15th instant with a moderate breeze, which freshened at midnight to a moderate gale. During the next three days the vessel made splendid progress under the influence of a strong S.W. gale, which was, however, accompanied by very heavy seas, several of which broke aboard, without however doing any damage, to judge by the splendid condition in which she comes into port. On Sunday, ISth instant, the barque was off the East Cape, when the gale broke, and was succeeded by variable baffling breezes which retarded the vessel's progress. The Ganymede picked up the tug Awhina at 8 p.m. on Saturday, and was brought to an anchorage off the Queen-street Wharf at 4 a.m. yesterday. She will berth at the Quaystreet wharf to discharge. Mr. White, her owner, was a passenger by the Ganymede from the South.
