The Union Company's steamer Wairarapa, Captain John Mcintosh, arrived from Sydney at eight o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. P. Pen wick, the purser, to whom we are indebted for our files, reports that the steamer left the company's wharf, Sydney, at 8 p.m. on the 13th instant, and sighted the Three Kings at 1 p.m. on the 17th Rounded the North Cape at 4.40 p.m. the same day, and steamed into port as above. Experienced fresh south-westerly winds and beam seas for the greater part of the passage, followed by fine weather and light winds to arrival. The Wairarapa leaves for Southern ports at noon to-morrow, and on arrival at irort Chalmers goes into dock for overhauling.

The Northern Company's steamer Ohtnemuri leaves this afternoon for Wbananaki and the North. This morning the Northern Company's steamer Waiotahi arrives from Tauranga, and in the evening leaves for l'anranga and Opotiki I The brisantiae Gleaner sails from the Manukau in a few days for Sydney with a cargo of timber. The new schooner, the Huia, is loading timber at Kaipara for Sydney, and will, probably sail this week. Captain George | McKenzie has arrived from Sydney to take charge of the vessel, and was engaged yester- , day in shipping his crew. Owing to the strong north-easter prevailing along the coast, the schooner Medora, bound to the north from this port, has put into Marsden Point for shelter. The schooner Queen, bound to Hokiauga, has put into Russell. The Tyser Company's steamer Hawke's Bay is expected to arrive from Sydney this morning. Yesterday morning the schooner Sarah Pile arrived from Lyttelton in ballast. She will probably load timber for Noumea shortly. The steamer Kahu leaves Lyttelton for the Chatham Islands on October 1.

On the 12th instant the schooner Oscar sailed from Sydney for Norfolk Island. H.M.s. Mildara, which has been in reserve at Sydney, is being got ready for sea to take the place of the Ringarooma. The schooner Clansman sailed from Noumea on the Ist inst. for Surprise Island to load guano for the Bluff. The baraue Oakbnrst arrived at Melbourne on the 9th inst. from Liverpool, which port she left on the 2Sth May. Ten days later a seaman named Thomas Hughes, aged 29, fell from the forecastle-head into I'.he water and was drowned. With the exception of a remarkably heavy gale about the 17th August the voyage was, on the whole* a fair-weather one.

The barque Royal Tar has arrived at Honolulu from Newcastle, after a passage of 35 days. Soon after sailing the vessel sprang a leak, and was compelled to run under .NorI folk Island for smooth water until the leak was stopped. This occupied about twelve hours, and the remainder of the voyage was completed without any further mishap. THE HANDA ISLE IN HEAVY WEATHER. The schooner Handa Isle had a rough passage across from the Thames to Melbourne. Captaiu Robinson reports that following the departure of his schooner from that port on the Bth ult. a period of particularly dirty weather was at once encountered, m consequence ot which it was found necessary to run back to Auckland. Three days later, viz., on the 11th August, a fresh start was made, ana meeting with light variable winds until reaching the North Cape on the 14th, the schooner subsequently fell in with a series of violent gales, accompanied by terrific squalls, the wind blowing alternately from the north-west and west-south-west. The worst of the weather was not experienced, however, until the 29th ult., when in latitude 37deg. 57min. south and longitude 153deg. 18min. east, a tremendous south-westerly gile struck the vessel, and several heavy seas breaking over her, carried away three of the deck cargo lashings, and shifted the cargo, a portion of which had to be jettisoned in order to secure the remainder. This work, which was accomplished while a great sea was running, proved both difficult and dangerous, but fortunately the weather moderated soon afterwards, and during the remaining few days of her run to Port Philip Heads the schooner was attended by light breezes and showery weather. THE GRACE DENT.— ROUGH VOYAGE. The schooner Grace Dent arrived at Sydney from the Kaipara on the 11th instant. Captain Pughe reports that on leaving the Kaipara on the 24th ultimo, the Grace Dent experienced light winds from south-east to east, with line weather for the first four days out, after which she had a strong northerly breeze with heavy rain for 20 hours. The wind then hauled to north-west, increasing to a heavy gale, which brought with it mountainous seas and terrific squalls. The storm lasted 38 hours, but was immediately followed by a gale of hurricane force west to south-west, in which the little vessel behaved admirably under close-reefed mainsail. On the 3rd instant the weather moderated a little, and the wind hauled to south-east and then ease. On the 4th it increased to a heavy easterly gale, which has left traces of its severity, having blown one of the sails to ribbons and carried away portions of the bulwarks on both sides. The deck was constantly flooded while the storm prevailed, and all on board had an anxious time of it. The storm abated very quickly on the sth instant, but the weather after continued unsettled, with strong variable winds, and also a strong current setting to south-south-east. THE W AIM ATE. Yesterday afternoon the New _ Zealand Shipping Company's fine ship _ Waimate arrived from Glasgow, after a quick passage of 87 days, bringing a quantity of general cargo. The ship is commanded by Captain Worster, who is well known at this port, he having visited Auckland on numerous occasions as master of ships of the New Zealand Shipping Company's line, and comes into port in excellent order. The master reports sailing from Glasgow on June 22. taking her departure from the Tail of Bank on the 22nd, and experienced fine weather down the Channel, which was cleared on the 27th. The Equator was crossed on July 23, in 28' W. Very strong south east trades prevailed, it blowing almost a gale all the time, the ship being close into the Brazilian coast for a couple of days. The meridian of Greenwich was crossed on August 11, and the meridian of the Cape on the 16th. Cape Leuwin was passed on the 3rd inst., and very thick, dirty weather was encountered, it blowing a strong gale from the 7th to the 9th. Tasmania was rounded on the 10th, and the North Cape passed on the 17th, the ship coming down the coast in fine style with the strong northeaster blowing, and anchoring in the harbour at 5 p.m. yesterday. This morning the ship will berth" at the Quay-street Jetty, and on discharge will oommence loading up for London at once. A notice to consignees by the Waimate appears in our advertisement columns.
