The New Zealand Shipping Co.'s clipper Waitangi, now 01 days out from London for this port, has a varied cargo valued at £21.900. She should be shortly making her appearance on this coast. The incoming mail steamer Mariposa from San Francisco having left one day late, is not due here till to-morrow, but it is quite probable that she will make a fa3t trip and get into port this evening. Yesterday the Northern S.S. Co. received further advice concerning their new steamer Waiotahi, now on her way from home, in that cable news has come to hand to the effect that she had passed Thursday Island "All well" on the 6th instant. She should reach Auckland before the end of this month. The Shaw Savill and Albion Co.'s barque Himalaya will haul out into the stream this morning in readiness to sail for Timaru, where she is to load for London.

She will probably resume her interrupted voyage to Melbourne to-day. The owners of the brigantine Sarah Pile, recently stranded at Tairua and brought up here for repairs, have elsewhere invited tenders to overhaul and repair the vessel, and all offers are returnable by Friday. After in" out of commission for a couple of mouths, the Northern S.S. Co.'s Thamc3 steamer, Rotomahana, yesterday had up steam for the first time since her overhaul. The vessel lias a thorough refitting both in her engine and passenger departments, and 13 now almost a new vessel. The Rotomahana has had her ■ engines completely overhauled, and her propeller increased and altered, so that it is expected she will have her speed increased to such an extent that she will be able to accomplish the run to the Thames in four hours. On her run up the harbour yesterday her machinery ' moved well, and the vessel sped along in first-class style. She is to-day to go down to Drunken Bay to have her compasses adjusted, and will make a trial trip on Saturday. Site has still Borne repainting, etc., to be given her, and will be ready to resume her regular service by the middle of next week.
