The three-masted schooner Coquette has arrived at Newcastle from Melbourne, to load coal for Gisborne. Two of the New Zealand Shipping Co.'s fine steamers have been fixed to load frozen meat at Newcastle at an early date. The barque Doris Eckhoff was loading at Now York when the mail left, for Wellington and Auckland, and would probably sail about April 29. The Norwegian barque New Zealand. 000 tons, was to leave New York for Dunedin, Lyttelton, and Auckland about the loth instant. The destination of the barque H. J. Libly, loading at New York, has been altered to Brisbane She had been announced previously to leave for Auckland via the South. The following passengers had booked at London for this colony up to April 15 :— Per P. and O. steamer Victoria, to leave on April 29, for New Zealand: Miss Lowry, Mies A. B. wry, Miss F. Proud, Messrs. Aeland, H. Harding, Councillor James Hunter. Per Orient steamer Oroya, to leave on May 6, for New Zealand: Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Trollope, Miss Gaston, Mr. A. J. Baron. Per Orient steamer Orizaba, to leave on May 20, for New Zealand: Mrs. A. Himmers, Miss 13. Murdoch, Mr. B. Murdoch. The schooner Aratapu, from this port, via Whan garoa, to Newcastle, met with a strong south-west gale, which raised a nasty sea, shortly after leaving Whangaroa, but the vessel sustained no damage. On the passage across from Kaipara to Sydney the barquentine Chittoor met with some very heavy weather, during which the vessel was very roughly handled. Captain Rive reports that he had a fair run for the first 24 hours. After that nothing but sales of winds and calms were experienced til! May 3, at noon. A terrific gale from the southeast then set in, the wind backing gradually to south, and then hauling back again to east-south-east, and blowing itself out at south-south-west. At midnight on May .3 the storm was at its height, and there was a tremendous confused sea running, the vessel labouring very heavily and completely burying herself in the seas up to the main hatch. To prevent the deck cargo from being thrown overboard the course had to be frequently altered, and, as it was, the gale only abated in time to save it. During the storm the seas washed part of her starboard bulwarks away, and did other slight damage. On May 7, when about 200 miles off the land, a current setting to the northward at the rate of about two knots per hour, was experienced. The American barque Crescent arrived at Lyttelton on Saturday from New York, after a passage of 125 days. She has part cargo for this port, and will load here for New York with kauri gum and flax on arrival.

THE ALAMEDA. On Saturday morning the mail steamer Alameda, Captain H. G. Morse, arrived in harbour from San Francisco, Honolulu, and Samoa, bringing the English and American mails. The passage across the Pacific has been an exceedingly pleasant one, fine weather and smooth sea having been experienced all the way. The time occupied, including all stoppages, was 19 days 21 hours. Of the voyatre, Mr. J. B. Sutton, the purser, to whom we are indebted for our files and dispatches, reports that the steamer left San Francisco at 4.45 p.m. on April 30, being one day behind time, and reached Honolulu on May 7, at 9.30 .m. After landing passengers and cargo she left for Samoa at 12.35 a.m. on the Bth, arriving there at 7 a.m. on the 15th. After taking in some fruit for this port, the steamer left again at 2.20 p.m. of the same day, and stopped for the Auckland pilot at 9.35 a.m. on Saturday, berthing at the Queen-street wharf soon after. Fine weather and smooth sea were experienced throughout the trip. Soon after berthing the work of discharging her New Zealand consignments was resumed, and the steamer resumed her voyage to Sydney shortly after 3 p.m.

THE ESSEX AND STAR OF THE EAST. The American barque Essex, Captain A. L. Shaube, arrived at New York from this port on March 24, after a fine-weather passage of 91 days. In a private letter Captain Shaube says that ho was on the other side of the equator on tho 59th day out, when he mot with nothing but a succession of light breezes. The barque Star of the East was 122 days in making the passage. Remarking on the arrival of these two vessels, the New York Recorder has the following " The British barque Star of the East, consigned to the Sir Roderick Cameron Austra-lian-New Zealand shipping house, pulled/into her dock on East River yesterday afternoon to discharge a cargo of kauri gum which she took on at Auckland. Her arrival gives the climax to an interesting competition with an American barque, the Essex, Captain A. L. Shaube, belonging to a rival house, Arnold, Cheney and Co., which has been in port about two weeks, and is now at pier 14, East River. The vessels are about the same size, and each carry 1000 tons of cargo. When the Essex was entering the harbour of Auckland tc take cargo, early in Decembor, the Star of the East was putting to sea for New York. As the crews knew each other there was some good-natured banter, and the Yankee skipper ventured that he would get to port first. He lay over-two weeks atAuckland, and set sail Christmas Eve for the 15,000-mile run to New York, making the run in 91 days. Captain Shaube has been sailing vessels for Arnold, Cheney and Co. for 20 years, and for 10 he has been master of the Essex. He said that one reason he gave the Star of the East such a beating was doubtless due to the foul condition of the Britisher's hull, as she is an iron vessel, and, like all metal ships, soon gets in a bad fix in tropical waters." Since the Essex has been in New York she has been undergoing a thorough overhaul, included in which are a new mainmast and considerable repairs to her hull. She has been chartered for Wellington and Auckland, and is timed to sail about June 20. The Star of the East was loading for Dunedin and Lyttelton, and was fixed to sail about May 15.

THE MENTOME.-A FAST PASSAGE. The Norwegian barque Mentone, Captain Nelsen, which will be remembered as having loaded kauri gum and flax at this port in December last for New York, proceeding to Wellington to complete her loading, made the passage to Ivew York from the latter port in the splendid time of 74 days. Some ot the days' runs north of the line logged 240 miles for some days in succession. The New Z.\'l; Recorder says Shipping men are also i;™/™ °° u .t another big run between Wellington and New York, which waa made by

] Per Waiwera, for Gisborne 12 tons coal, 35,000 feet of timber (to be shipped at Whanauaki). The Northern Co.'s steamer Clansman returned from Tauranga early yesterday morning, and will leave for Russell and the North this evening. On Saturday afternoon the steamer Waiotahi arrived from Opotiki and Tauranga, bringing several passengers and a quantity of maize and produce. She leaves for the same places again this afternoon.
