Last evening Messrs. Donald and Edenborough's Island packet Richmond, Captain Hutton, left port for her regular round trip to Tonga, Samoa, Rarotonga, and Tahiti. She z took a . large cargo of provisions, life stock, etc., besides several passengers. Yesterday. the Bay of Plenty steamers Chelmsford and Douglas, came in with cargoes of produce from their usual ports. The painting, etc. , on board H.M.s. CuraCoa is nearly completed, and the cruiser looks as spick and span as a new ship. The s.s. Argyle went into dock yesterday f»r a cleaning, and came out in the afternoon. The well-known barque Devonport, Captain Greenwood, is to load coal at Wollongong for this port. The Union S.S. Co.'s Tarawera, Captain W. Sinclair, arrived from Southern port 3 at 1.30 p.m. yesterday with a large general cargo and numerous passengers. She left Dunedin at 6 p.m. on the 19th, and arrived at Lyttelton at noon the following day, and leaving again for the North at 8.30 p.m. She made fast to Wellington Wharf at 10 a.m. on the 22nd; called at Napier on the 23rd and Gisborne on the 24th, and reached port as above. The Tarawera experienced light winds and fine weather to Wellington, thence strong southerly gales, with heavy seas to Napier, after which to arrival fine weather. . j Yesterday afternoon a barque was signalled which proved to be the well-known Madura, from Newcastle. She was brought into port by the p.s. Eagle last night. Captain Mc.Geehan, who is in charge of the Madura, reports that she left Newcastle on the 7th instant, and had light E.N.E. and then variable winds, with high confused seas, till the 10th. The wind then shifted to the S.E., . and the heavy water continued. _ Cape Brett was sighted on the 22nd, and light S.S.W. breezes had till arrival.. The Madura has a full cargo of coal, and some hardwood. The evidence of the captain of the steamer * Saladin, at the inquiry held at Fremantle into the circumstances attending the stranding of his vessel is of the greatest importance to shipmasters trading along the shores of the west coast of Australia. It proved that a magnetic shoal exists near Cossack, which caused a : deviation of fully two degrees in the compass. The Court found that , the casualty was occasioned by the magnetic shoal in the neighbourhood of the island, and they exonerated Captain Pitts from all blame. On the recent voyage of the ship Windsor Park from the United Kinortom to Australia, the vessel passed close to Tristan d'Acunha. There the wind was light and the weather fine, and a boat came from the shore with 10 men in her. They came on board and reported all well on the island except the oldest inhabitant, Peter Green, who was very ill. They brought a note asking for medical comforts, which were duly supplied. They said they numbered 12 men, 51 women, and a ; ' number of. children, and that a boat containing 15 of the oldest men was caught in a . ' storm and lost while returning from a ship (V. about !12 months ago. Captain Goldchild supplied them with some stores, which they wanted, and 'in return received two sheep, one pig, some milk, eggs, and flowers, so that on New Year's Day the ship's table was de- ' corated with rosea, rather an unusual thing on ( board a sailing ship in the South Atla>utie,
