Yesterday forenoon the Union S.S. Co.'s Hauroto, Captain Neville, arrived from Sydney with general cargo and passengers. The purser, Mr. Brooks, reports that she left the Sydney Wharf at 8 a.m. on January 29th, and experienced variable winds on the trip across. The Three King 3 were passed at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, the North Cape at 3 p.m., the vessel reaching port at 10 a.m. yesterday. The steamer was busy discharging her cargo and freight yesterday, and is to leave for the South to-morrow at noon. The American barque Essex with a part cargo of kerosene and general merchandise from New York is now daily expected from Dunedin. At No. 2 Jetty the discharge of the Leading Wind's damaged cargo is still being pushed forward with all despatch. The Island packet Wainui completed the discharge of her fruit, oil, etc., at the QueenBtreet Wharf yesterday. Last evening the s.s. Australia took her departure for the East Coast and Wellington with a mixed freighting. The Sydney agents of the Australasian American Shipping Company have received the following cable from New York. We have chartered the barque Alexander Yeaces for Sydney and the Ambassador for Adelaide, both to sail in the end of February. Yesterday morning early the schooner Welcome, Captain Cooper, reached port from Newcastle with a cargo of coal. She sailed on January 20, and had light winds ranging from N.E. to S.E., till about 100 miles off the Three Kings, when a heavy N. W. wind set in with rain. North Cape was passed at 2 a.m. on February 2, and Cape Brett the same evening. Off the Hen and Chickens the vessel was becalmed for several hours, but she afterwards made the port trith a light breeze as above. The Union S.S. Co.'s Omapere has been fixed to leave Oamaru on Friday next for this port. She will call at Timaru and other East Coast places of call, and is due here on the 12th. At the Queen-street Wharf the s.s. Taupo is loading timber and general cargo for Fiji, whither she is to sail to-day at 5 p.m. The Northern S.S. Co.'s Chelmsford resumed her running to the Bay of Plenty yesterday after having been in port a day or two undergoing her periodical inspection. The smartest passage on record between Levuka and Suva, says the Times, was accomplished by the s.s. Taviuni on her last trip. She made the run in 3h. 50m., and is thus entitled to the championship amongst the fast boats which favour these waters. This will no doubt cause the other vessels to be put on their mettle, and their commanders will not rest content until they have achieved at least as much as the latest addition to the trading fleet connected with Fiji. It has been decided to explore Bass' Straits, with a view to discover the supposed uncharted rocks on <which the ship Carlisle was wrecked some three or four months ago, and for that purpose the Secretary for Customs, Victoria, is informed that H.M.s. Dart will be shortly employed. The Customs authorities are of opinion that the ship struck on a portion of the Crocodile Rock, which is almost due south of Wilson's Promontory, but the point will no doubt be cleared up by the marine survey.
