Yesterday the smart little German barque Valparaiso, Captain Ahrens, was cleared atthe Customs for New York. She lias a full cargo of about 530 tons of gum and flax, a valuable freighting, which she has loaded here under charter to the New Zealand Shipping Co. The barque has shifted out from her loading berth into the stream, and •will sail to-day if the weather is favourable. The barque Alcestis has left port for Howland Island, there to load guano for Launceston. Messrs. L. D.Nathan and Co., the local agents of the Shaw-Savill barques Hudson and Glenlora, now at Dunedin, inform us that the Auckland portion of these vessels' cargoes is expected to arrive here by the s.s. Omapere on Friday next. The smart little schooner which was launched on Monday evening by Mr. G. Niccol for some Vavau (Tongan) chiefs, was yesterday towed across the harbour to the No. 2 Jetty, where she is being fitted and rigged. She is a very handsome vessel, and her fine lines promise great speed. As the little craft, which looks much more like a yacht than a trader, lay alongside the pier yesterday she excited a deal of _ attention and admiration. The vessel, which, as before stated, rejoices in the formidable name of Koe Bamu oe Utukalogalu, was entered out at the Customs for Vavau yesterday, and will sail this week under charge of Captain R. Sopwith. About midday yesterday the Union S.S. Company's Waihora, Captain Anderson, arrived from Melbourne and Southern ports with general cargo and passengers. She left Melbourne on the 26th ulfc., called at Hobart on the 28th, the Bluff, Dunedin, Lyttelton, Wellington, and Napier. Reaching Gisborne on the 6th, she left the latter port at 11 a.m. on Monday, and arrived as above, haying experienced fresh to strong north-west winds on the passage from Hobart to the Bluff, and fine weather along the coast. After discharging her cargo, the Waihora left last night for Russell to coal. She will return to this port and sail for the South on Thursday. The brigantine Prosperity has cleared out for Sydney via, Whangaroa. She has taken in about '20,000 feet of undressed kauri at the Railway Wharf, and will fill up with an additional 7-5,000 at the Northern port. After many years of hard service in and about this harbour, the well-known little steamer Scotchman is to start on quite a new line of service, inasmuch as she is now to be deprived of her steam power and re-rigged as a ketch. After the transformation and repairs, now being carried on at the Hobsonstreet Wharf, are completed, it is the intention of the vessel's present owner, Captain Buicke, to place the vessel in the coastal trade. Last evening the s.s. Wellington sailed for Whangarei and adjacent ports with numerous passengers and a general cargo. The schooner Jessie Niccol has about completed the discharge of her island fruit and copra, and will load up at once with provisions and sundries for her rdturii trip to the Hervey Group. f . ■ The s.s. Otarama has arrived at Gisborne from Lyttelton. She loads here With 10,000 carcases mutton. 5000 lambs, 10 tons cheese, and 150 casks tallow. : ' . /
