The eve Zealand Shipping Company s fine steamship Ruapehu arrived yesterday morning, at 11 o'clock, from London, Teneriffe, Capetown, and Hobart, bringing a large number of passengers aud a cargo of general merchandise for this port and the South. Notwithstanding the fact that very rough weather has been met with during the voyage, the steamer comes into port in excellent order, reflecting credit upon the deck officers, while the state of the engine departments bears evidence of the care exercised by Mr. Simpson, the chief engineer, and his subordinates. Captain E. A. Findlay, R.N.R, still retains command of the steamer, but there have been several changes in the personnel of the officers since the steamer last visited our port, Mr. Buchanan being chief, Mr. Harrington second, and Mr. Macey fourth, all of whom will be remembered as having been here last in the company's steamer Te Koa. To Mr. H. McMaster, the steward in charge, we are indebted for the following report of the voyage:—The Ruapehu left the Royal Albert Duck at 6.45 a.m. on June2Sth, and arrived at Gravesend at 8.30 in. The majority of the passeugers were embarked at 1 p.m., and the vessel left for Plymouth at 3 p.m., experiencing fine weather and easterly winds down the Channel till arrival at 3.50 p.m. on the 29th. Here the remainder of the passengers and mails were embarked, and the Ruapehu left for New Zealand at 1.25 p.m. on the 30th. After leaving Plymouth, foggy weather was encountered in the Bay of Biscay, which continued for two days, after which nne clear weather and noitherly winds till arrival at Teneriffe at 8 a.m. on July sth. After coaling the Ruapehu left for Capetown at 6.26 p.m. the same day. Variable winds were experienced to the Equator, which was crossed in the meridian of 9* W., on July 12. Moderate to fresh S.E. trade winds and fine weather then set in, and continued till July 20, and from thence variable winds and fine weather till arrival at Table Bay, at 12.50 p.m. on July 21. After landing and embarking passenders and mails, the Ruapehu left for Hobart at 8.40 p.m. the same day. Since leaving Capetown very unsettled weather has been met with, particularly on July 28, when a strong gale of wind set in, which lasted for 18 hours. Very variable winds and squally weather were met with during the whole of the run across the Southern Ocean. The meridian of Cape Leeuwin was crossed on August 5, and the Mewstone gassed at 4 p in. on August 10, Hobart eing reached at 2 p.m. the same day. After discharging 250 tons cargo and landing 19 Australian passengers, coaling and takiug in a quantity of fruit and potatoes for Auckland, and .'1470 bags silver ore for London, the Ruapehu left for New Zealand on the 11th inst. at 10.15 a.m. On leaving Hobart a strong south-westerly gale with heavy rain aud squalls was met with, which lasted , for 24 hours, after which moderate winds and fine weather have prevailed till arrival.

The Ruapehu brings 219 passengers and 2058 tons cargo for the different New Zealand ports. During the voyage, the usual sports, concerts, dances, and other entertainments were frequently indulged in, and fire and boat drills have also been constantly held.

A NEW STEAMER. ,A new steamer is to be built by Mr. W. H. .Brown, of the North Shore, for tneNguuguru coal trade. She is to be of sufficient capacity to carry 140 tons of coal. Work on the vessel it to be commenced at once. AMERICAN SHIPPING. Under date of July 21 Messrs. R. W. Forbes and Son, of New York, report:— " Freights : The situation remains without material change from last month. The f rmneas in steamer freights has been maintained, but, speaking generally, has not resulted in a further advance. Should the active export movement in breadstuff's continue freights will advance. Sail freights remain without material alteration. Vessels Eire not very plentiful, but charter rates remain fairly low. Among the charters reported is the Alice for Auckland (probably via other New Zealand ports). The Star of the East is advertised for Wellington, but it seems doubtful if she will actually make the voyage. The Obed Baxter was slow in getting away, owing to scarcity of Auckland cargo. Cargo still remains rather scarce, except for block lines, New Zealand ports being especially slack. Berth rates may be q noted as herewith : New Zealand ports, 18 to £0 cents. The barque Obed Baxter sailed from New York on July 8 for Wellington and Auckland. The barque Essex, well known at this port, has been sold, and has been withdrawn from the New Zealand trade. The barque Alice was fully due at New York from Antwerp when the mail left, and would load up for New Zealand ports soon after arrival. - NOTICE TO MARINERS. Torres Strait (inner route).—Restoration of beacons : Notice is given that all the beacons marking the inner route to Torres Strait have been restored, with the . exception of the red beacon marking Chilcott Rocks, which, owing to the heavy weather experienced and depth of water on the reef, could not be reerected. It will be restored on the first opportunity, notice, of which will be given. —Brisbane, 21st July. PASSENGERS FOR NEW ZEALAND.
