She has berthed at the Railway Wharf to discharge. Yesterday rooming the schooner Ivanhoe, which has been engaged in an extended island cruise for some months, under charter to Messrs. J.T. Arundel & Co., arrived in harbour. Since leaving here the schooner has visited Flint Island, Tahiti, Samoa, and Savage Island. She left Apia on July 9, and Nuie on the 19th.

We learn from the New Zealand Shipping that they intend altering the speed of their mail steamers on the outward trip during the months from August to December, and on the homeward trips from February to May. During those months the vessels will go at full speed, which will make a considerable difference in the time occupied on the voyage. The ferry steamer Tainui, having been overhauled, cleaned, and paiuted on Bailey's slip, came off yesterday. The Takapuna is now on the slip for similar treatment. By the Union S S. Co.'s steamer Upolu yesterday evening Mr. C. Bailey shipped a new pilot boat, which he has just completed to the order of the Tongan Government. The boat is a fine specimen of workmanship and is built of kauri planking with hardwood knees, etc. She is 24 feet long, 6 feet broad, and has a centre-board, lockers, etc. She is fitted to pull five oars, and has a complete outfit of sails, oars, and everything requisite for the business in which she is to be employed. The Melanesian teachers at the Banks' Islands sent up an order by the mission yacht Southern Cross for a boat to be used in and about the Islands. The order was placed in the hands of Mr. C. Bailey, and the boat is to go down by the " Cross' to-day. It is a similar one to that just completed by Mr. Bailey for the Tongan Government, with the exception that it is not fitted with a j centre-board.

The Invercargill sealing ketch has been placed in the hands of Mr. YV. H. Brown for alterations and repairs The principal alterations include an entirely new cabin. After completing her alterations and repairs the ketch will proceed to her fishing grounds, and at the beginning of the year will again come into this port for the purpose of being altered into a topsail schooner. H.M. s. Curacoa was at Suva on July 28, and H.M. s. Royalist was expected to arrive there daily from a cruise. The barque Devonport, Captain Greenwood, has been chartered by Mr. R. Blair at a very payable rate, to load timber at Hokiauga for Sydney. The brigantine Linda Weber arrived at Rarotonga on July 21 from this port. The passage only occupied nine days from Rangitoto reel, where the vessel was detained for several days owing to a strong N.E. gale. Captain McKenzie reports experiencing tine weather during the smart run down. The Linda Weber was to leave for Wellington about July 28. The ketch Nellie, which was chartered at this port by Messrs. De Lisle and Hammond, was cruising amongst the Islands when the Richmond left Rarotonga, as was also the schooner Goldfinch.
