The fitting up of the Northern S.S. Co.'s new- s.s. Ohinetnuri is rapidly approaching completion, and yesterday she had her masts stepped and her standing rigging set up. She will probably be in full running before the end of this month.

At the Railway Wharf the barque Northern Star was busily shipping cement, bricks, and sundries for Nelson yesterday. The smart little twin screw steamer Ethel I. left port last evening for her future sphere of labour on the Kaipfira, where she is to run a semi-weekly service from Helensviile to the up-river settlements, which should prove a great convenience and savin" of time to the settlers. This vessel is well adapted for the work on these rivers, as she is fast and of light draught, while her accommodation for passengers, particularly ladies, is well arranged and lavishly fitted lip. She will doubtless become very popular with travellers on the Northern Wairoa as soon as she becomes known.

The cargo steamer Tekoa, now in port, is a great carrier, and most economical in regard to fuel-burning. Though she took in a supply at Teneritl'e, she could quite as well have made the entire journey from Loudon to Auckland without stoppage, as she has now on board more coal than she shipped at TenerifFe. while she has repeatedly proved that her engines are quite equal to steaming for 60 consecutive days without any halt or slowing down. The !New Zealand Shipping Company and Captain Stuart have both reason to be proud of this fine vessel. After having been in the stream a couple of days the barque Belle Isle got away yesterday with her lumber cargo for Newcastle. Tholsorthern S.s. Co.'s Chelmsford, with passengers, live stock, and sundries came in yesterday forenoon from Opotiki. • Messrs. Cruickshank and Co., the local agents for the direct mail steamer Tainui, of the S.S. and A. Co.'s line, inform us that the local portion of her English freight will be brought up from Wellington by the Union S.S., Co.'s Manapouri, whilo her passengers for Auckland will come forward via the Manukau by the s.s. Takapuna on Saturday. The Nova Scotian brigantine Emma L. Shaw, Captain Porter; has now completed her loading for Now York, and has under hatches a valuable freighting of gum, flax, skins, &c. She was cleared at the Customs yesterday, and will probably sail to-day for her distant destination,when the numerous friends of the skipper will be sure to wish him a speedy and prosperous voyage. Early yesterday the well-known coaster Queen came in from Ilokianga with a full cargo of bark, gum, hides, and sundries. About noon yesterday the Now Zealand Shipping Company's splendid new steamer Tekoa was berthed at the Queen-street Wharf, and during the afternoon was busily engaged iu putting out her miscellaneous cargo. As she lay at the tee her massive hull and large dimensions attracted a lot of attention; and the steamer was criticised with minute curiosity by many bystanders. The Tekoa will tako in a quantity of her homeward freight of gum, wool, flax, mutton, etc., here, and" will probably get away at the end of the present week. Yesterday morning the barque Bells, Captain Cotton, took-her departure with stores and sundries for the well-known guano depot of Long Island, in the Chesterfield Group, where sue is to fill up for the Bluff. The brigantine Anthons having put out her coal promptly, was yesterday cleared at the Customs for Sydney, and sailed during the day for the Thames, where she is to ship a freighting of sawn timber for the New South Wales capital.
