Mackechnie, arrived in harbour with a cargo of coal for Mi. M. Niccol. The master reports having sailed from Newcastle on the 9th instant, passed the Three Kings on the 15th. and rounded the North Cape on the ISth.

THE MARIPOSA. About four o'clock on Saturday afternoon the mail steamer Mariposa, Captain H. M. Hay ward, arrived in harbour from San Francisco, Honolulu, and Samoa, bringing the European and American mails. The steamer was fairly patronised with passengers, and, as is usual with these vessels, everything was done to make the voyage an agreeable one. Of the trip across, Mr. Thomas Smith, the purser, to whom we are indebted for our files and despatches, reports that the San Francisco pilot was discharged on May 28 at 6.38 p.m.: Honolulu was reached on the 4th inst. at 8.46 a.m. Remained there, until 10.26 p.m. Arrived at Apia on the l'2th at 6.53 a.m., ami left again at 11.15 a.m. Fine weather was experienced throughout the voyage. As the Mariposa was crossing the equator, the celebrated violinist, Ovide Musin, Madame Musin, and Mr. Eduard Sharf, a brilliant pianist from Germany, were requested to give a concert in the steamer's social hall for the benefit of the National Shipwreck Relief Society of New South Wales. The artistes agreed very willingly, and the event was a most delightful one, and was cordially appreciated by the passengers. After landing the New Zealand portion of her Cargo, and taking in a considerable quantity of coal the Mariposa continued her voyage to Sydney shortly before noon yesterday.

THE MATAURA. The New Zealand Shipping Company's barque Mataura arrived in harbour yesterday morning from London, after ft passage of 106 days. Having a quantity of powder on board, she anchored off St. George's Bay. Captain Worster is in command, and will be remembered as having visited this port on several occasions in the ships Waikato and Ocaki. Of the voyage, Captain Worster reports that the SouthWest India Dock was left on March 2, and the vessel proceeded to Gravesond, where 00 tons of powder were shipped, leaving there on March 4. Anchored off the Nore till next day. Carried a strong north-east wind down the Channel. Madeira was passed on the 12th, and the equator was crossed on the 31st, twenty-five days from the Lizard. Trinidad was passed on April 7, and the Cape on the 30th, fifty-eight days out. Easterly and southerly winds were experienced until .passing Tasmania on the 10th inst. A strong S.W. gale was encountered on the 11th and 12th. Variable winds then prevailed until making the T!ir„j Kings, on the 17th, when a N.E. wind set in and brought the vessel down the coast and to port. The following vessels were spoken on the passage:—Barque Formosa, from Southampton to Sydney, in 16'45 N. 26'19W.; barque James Aiken, bound nort in 20 39 S. 28'14 W.; barque Asscll. from Otago to London, in 32*44 S. 27 49 W.; barque Glandinorwick, from Hamburg to Rangoon, in 40*21 S.. 11.6 W. The barque will discharge her powder this morning, and come up to the wharf in the afternoon. AMERICAN SHIPPING. From Messrs. R. XV. Forbes and Son's circular of May 20, we learn timecharter conditions remain unchanged. Vessel owners are dissatisfied with the low rates that have so long prevailed, and the vessels that are being taken for Australian ports are smaller than of late, so as to accord with decreased shipments and to avoid the filling in which has been needed on the recent large vessels. The barque Doris Kekhofl left New York for Wellington ami Auckland on April 30. The barque New Zealand sailed for Dunedin, Lyttelton. and Auckland, on May 19. The barque Essex was loading for Wellington and Auckland, and was expected to sail on June 10. The barque Mentone was loading for Adelaide, to sail on June 10. PORT OF ONEHUNGA. ARRIVALS.
