On Saturday the New Zealand Shipping Company's Piako, which lias been lying in the stream awaiting a favourable opportunity to get away, was towed out of port by the ji.s. Eagle, ami set sail for the Bluff, where she is to load with gram for London. Captain T. Fernandez accompanied Captain R. Sutherland, the popular master of the Piako, who is in ill health, to the Bluff as coastal pilot. . On Saturday the schooner Marmion, Captain D. Rae, left port for Tairua, where sho i 3 to load timber for Dunedin. The s.s. Maori, Captain Black, left port in ballast for Wellington on Saturday morning at daylight. In Messrs. Dalgety and Co. a monthly report it is mentioned that the brig Vision, ■which has not been in this port for a long time, had been 'fixed to load coal at Newcastle for this port. Our cable advices state that she sailed yesterday. _ The barque Clifton is loading coal at Newcastle for Wellington, and is to take back timber from Grey mouth for Sydney. The stiff easterly gale which prevailed on Friday had blown itself out by midnight, and on Saturday the wind came in fresh from the westward, a change that was welcomed by several sailers ready to proceed to sea. The schooner Awanui, with a general cargo, was towed out from the wharf on Saturday forenoon by the s.s. Despatch, and set Bail for Ease Coast ports and Gisborne, with a full cargo of general merchandise. Recent official publications notify that in future that part of the Pacific Ocean which lies between the mainland of Australia and the west coast of New Zealand is henceforth to be known asTasman's Sea, and will be so marked on future charts. ' About mid-day on Saturday the Union S.S. Co.'a cargo steamer Poherua left the Hobsonstreet wharf in ballast for Mount Kembla, a coal port in New South Wales. She is there to take in a cargo of black diamonds for Fiji, and will return here with raw

sugar. l'he s.s. Ohau is to leave Dunedin on Wednesday next for here, via her usual way ports. Late Mauritius advices states that the Chamber of Commerce at Port Louis has recommended the postal authorities at that port to arrange with the British-India S.N. Company for the conveyance of the mails to Colombo in connection with the sailiug of the Orient steamers homeward. In order to effect this it would be necessary for the 8.1. boats to leave Mauritius on Tuesdays instead of Saturdays. The chamber also recommends that the 8.1. mail boats from Calcutta should lea Colombo two days earlier ': than at present. ~ , , The schooner Agnca Donald left Wellington on Saturday for Ficton to load there with potatoes for Auckland for Mr. ;J. T.

Hendry; and the locally-ewned schooner Saxon is now about due here with similar freight from the same port. On the arrival of the brigantine Darcy Pratt, now on her way to Newcastle hence with timber, she is to load coal there for Auckland. • - R.M.S. MONOWAI. On Saturday morning the mail steamer Monowai, of the Union S.S. Co.'s fleet, reached port from Sydney, on her way to San Francisco, with the outward colonial mails. She brought a large number of passengers from Australia, which . were distributed as follows —For Auckland, 23 cabin and 17 steerage ; and for San Francisco, 27 cabin and 40 steerage. She had under hatches a good amount of Australian products, which before leaving site augmented by shipping here a considerable shipment of oats and flax. The trip across was a boisterous one, but the ship behaved splendidly, and but little discomfort was felt by the passengers. On reaching harbour about 6 a.m. the steamer anchored off the Railway Wharf in the stream, as a case of illness to a child had occurred on board. The Health Otlicer boarded the steamer, and as the complaint was not an infectious one she camc on to the wharf, where she berthed about 8 a.m. The purser, Mr. J. Ness Keith, to whom, wo are indebted for files, etc., reports of the passago across :The Monowai left Sydney on the 7tli inst. at 5.15p,m., and breasted the Three Kings on the lltli at 7 a.m. She passed Cape Brett at 6 p.m. on the same day, and readied Auckland on the 12th, as above. On leaving Sydney the Monowai eneouutered the full force of a heavy south south-west gale, with an unusually high sea and cross swell. This lasted till Wednesday, when a high easterly swell set in and much delayed progress. Down the coast head winds and sea were the rule, with thick weather from the south-east, and dense rains. The Monowai coaled during the day, and left for San Francisco at 5 p.m. Owing to no previous advice having been given of any change, she will call oft'Tntuila as usual oil her up trip, but on the return voyage will run in to Apia, as the incoming steamer Alameda has done. j THE P.S. OSPREY STRANDED AT PAPAROA. The Messrs. Douglas Bros.'steamer Osprey has had the misfortune to become stranded at Paparoa in near proximity to Tent Rock, where, from latest accounts, she lies fixed, and there appears little chance of moving her off until next spring tides, when, if found not to be injured in her hull from contact with rocks, she may probably be floated off.' No news of the mishap reached Helensville until after the arrival of the Auckland morning train bringing up passengers for her for the Northern Wairoa. As she had not returned from her Otnmatea trip her agents instructed the passengers that she was on her way up the creek, and would leave Helensville wharf in an hour. The passengers consequently remained behind instead of proceeding on by the train to Mount Rex wharf, where the N.R.S.N. Co.'s s.s. Ivina was lying bound for Dargaville, and they were thus kept at Heleusvillc until Saturday morning, when the owners of the Osprey chartered the s.s. Minnie Casey to take them on to their destination. Mr. Robert Douglas was also a passenger, intending to proceed on in the Minnie Casey to Pahi to see what steps can bo taken to remedy the unfortunate mishap to the steamer. Dargaville, Friday. — Intelligence has reached here that the p.s. Osprey, due last night from Helensville, had come to grief off Paparoa, having gone ashore on some rocks, where she lies in a dangerous position. It is feared that the engines and boilers will have to be removed to lighten her. PORT OF ONEHUKGA. ARRIVALS. Takapuna, s.s., Grant, from the South.
