Cary, arrived at noon of Sept. 11, from San Francisco, Honolulu, and Apia, with the English and American mails. The steamer had a very full passenger list for New Zealand ports and Australia, besides a large cargo of general merchandise. The time occupied on the voyage was 19 days 22 hours 35 minutes, including stoppages, the actual steaming time being 19 days 7 hours 25 minutes. Mr. B. B. Bendall, the purser, to whom we arc indebted for our files and despatches, reports -.—The Monowai left San Francisco wharf at 8.10 p.m. on the 20th ult., discharged pilot at 9.35 p.m. the same day, and arrived at Honolulu on the 27th at 11.15 p.m. Left Honolulu on the 28th at noon, discharged pilot half au hour later, and reached Apia on the sth inst. at 6.15 a.m. Left again at 8.40 a.m. the same date, passed Tiritiri at 11.20 a.in,, and arrived as above. Experienced fine weather throughout the voyage. The Monowai resumed her voyage co Sydney shortly after nine o'clock the same night.

A NEW STEAMER. A new steamer now building by Mr. W. H. Brown for Captain J. Kennedy, Gisborne, is rapidly approaching completion. \. The leading features of the new vessel are immense strength, great carrying capacity, and a fair amount of speed. She is framed of hardwood and kauri, with extra heavy planking of the best heart of kauri, three inches thick, • The keel and kelson are in one length of ironbark, and there is no plain iron used in her construction, She is copper-fastened up to the water-line. A 40-horse power gasoline engine is expected from San Francisco by the Alameda early next month, and will bo at once fitted up by Messrs. ' W. A. Ryan and Co., the local agents for the American company, the speed guaranteed being nino knots. The vessel.will carry 100 tons of cargo, and is to be employed iu the Gishorno and East Coast trade. She will be launched in about a month's time..

THE SOUTHERN. CROSS. ,V ' Late on Sept. 22, the Melanesian Mission yacht, Captain James Bongard, arrived from a cruise amongst the Islands. . The master reports :—The Southern Cross left Auckland ou June 27, for Norfolk Island, and arrived thereon July 4. Left again on the 7th for the New Hebrides, with the Revs.Brittain, Cull wick, Iven3, and about 40 Melanesians. Arrived at the New Hebrides on the 15th; [ and left the Rev. A. Brittain at Opa, and the Rev, T. Cluttick at Banks's Island on the 26th. Called at Torres, Santa Cruz, and Ulana, and anchored 1 ' at Wane. on 'August 1. Arrived at . Siota r* (Florida) on the 3rd. After taking in some coal and calling at the different stations,' Started on our return, calling at Wano, Saa,- and Ulana, where we left the Rev.

The Southern Cross sailed .ou Wednesday for the Island* • '• ■■?. ; ;-v:, ■ |

'< »'• ■ KAIPARA SHIPPING. • '■' i J The following vessels | clearedg foreign during the month of July, from i the port of i Kaipara, all timber laden:—For Melbourne: i Bells, with 263,002 feet; Handa Isle, 201,690 i feet; Royal Tar; 469,712 feet; Carin, 171,535 '. feet; J total, 1,105.939 feet.

For Liverpool: Sidney, 618,136 feet. -Total export of timber ' fori July from this port, 1,908,213 feet.'The export.to Sydney was very small, but at the ; end' of the month the Frank Guy, Sir J. Franklin, Silver Cloud, and Northern Chief were * all ■'. in ? port, loading "• for Sydney. , [Northern Wairoa Correspondent.] \ ;^';'.' THE BANKS PENINSULA. • ':.• ' ',J The latest addition to the fleet of the Northern S.S. Company, the Banks Penin- ( sula, arrived from Hobart on Saturday afternoon. ' Captain W. ;F. Norbory is in charge of the steamer,' having Mr. J. Dutlrie as chief officer, while Mr. W. Laird is in charge of the engine department, with Mr. Tizard as second. The steamer was built at Grangemouth in 1889, and reached Hobart in 1891, where she has been employed on the coast, and has the record for that colony as the smartest vessel in the trade. \ The hull is of steel, and the dimensions of the vessel are as follow Length, 120 feet; breadth,2o feet; depth, 7'9; tonnage, 171. There is a very neat saloon at t, nicely fitted to accommodate 30 passengers ; the ladies' saloon being on deck, and is fitted for 20 passengers; amidships is the dining saloon, with seating accommodation for 30, and can also be utilised for sleeping, berths being fitted up for 25. There is a very comfortable steerage, with accommodation for about 40, fitted with every convenience. She has twin screws, with two sets ot compound engines, 16 and 30 inches respectively, jwith a stroke of 18 inches, making 132 revolutions per minute at ordinary full speed. She is supplied with a Scotch boiler, carrying 1001b to the square inch; and tho average rate of speed is about nine knots. All on board ' speak very highly of the weather qualities of the little steamer, as, though some .very rough weather was met with •during 1 the passage, she came through it admirably. ■ ,•; •'' THE NORTHERN WAIROA TRADE. We understand that the Northern Union Steamship Company have disposed of thep.s. ' Osprey- to - the Devonport Ferry Company, and that steamer will shortly be brought to Auckland.' It is, we are informed, the intention of the former company to build a first-class and fast screw steamer for the Wairoa trade, and the construction of the same will be undertaken with the utmost expedition. The reason for the company selling the Osprey is that she is too long and wide for convenient working on the narrow, sinuous parts of tho river. To meet the present requirements of the trade it is the intention ot the company to fit the s.s. Wairoa for passenger traffic. The enterprise of the company in deciding to build a thoroughly suitable steamer for the service upon which the Osprey has been running will be fully appreciated by the public, and indicates a determination on the part of the directors to provide the best accommodation which the service demands. A SHIP INDISTRESS. The ship Scottish Loch, from Newcastle to Antafagasto, put into port in distress on Saturday, having met with heavy weather, during which she carried away her foretopmast and topgallant mast, and sustained other damages. Captain Parkhill decided to steer a course tor Auckland, and picked up Tiri light just before sundown on Sept. 25, and Pilot Sainty, accompanied by a News representative, proceeded out by the s.s. Despatch, and came up with the distressed vessel about one o'clock next morning. She has been towed to port for repairs. THE AOTEA.-ICE SIGHTED. Tho Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company's steamer Aotea, Captain W. Scotland, arrived from London, Teneriffe, Capetown, and Hobart on Saturday evening. The Aotea brings the largest cargo of general merchandise ever brought to this colony by one vessel, amounting to 9300 tons, 1800 tons of which are for this port, and the balance for the South. The Aotea has not made such good time on the voyage as she generally does, but this is accounted for by the fact that one of tho blades of the propeller was lost, and impeded what would otherwise have been a very smart passage. THE WAITANGI. The Now Zealand Shipping Company's well-known ship Waitangi arrived from London on Wednesday with a cargo of general merchandise, including a quantity of explosives. The ship, which is in command of Captain W. Worster, a gentleman who has been long connected with the New Zealand trade, and who has made quite a number of visits to this port, has made an excellent passage of 101 days, and comes into port in splendid order, reflecting great credit upon Captain Worster and his officers. The work of erecting the iron tower on the Cape Farewell lighthouse is proceeding at a satisfactory rate. The new tower, which was made at Anderson's foundry, Christchurch, is expected to be in position by Christmas. The London Missionary Society's yacht John Williams left Rarotonga for Sydney on the sth ult. SHIPPING SUMMARY. The tonnage inwards and outwards at this port during the last mouth still continues large, owing to the number of large steamers being induced to make this the first port of call iu the colony from London, from the amount of freight offering in the way of machinery for the development of the gold mines in the Hauraki Peninsula. The coastal trade maintains large proportions, a large number of vessels being employed in carrying coal from the local mines to Auckland, the Thames, Coromande), and Kuaotunu. Owing to the largely increased trade the Northern Steamship Company have found it advisable to further increase their fine fleet of coastal steamers by the purchase of the Banks Peninsula at Hobart, and that steamer is now engaged in the trade between Auckland and the Thames. The same company have' now on the way from Glasgow a splendid paddle steamer, which has been built to their order at Glasgow, and which attained a very fine rate of speed on her trial trip. The Wakatere (tho name 'of the new steamer) reached Port Said on Tuesday last, making very good progress since leaving the Clyde, and should reach this port about the middle of next month, when she will be at once placed iu the company's trade. The event of the month has been the arrival of the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company's steamer Aotea from London, with 9300 tons of general merchandise, which is the largest cargo ever brought to the colony by one vessel. The Aotea will complete discharging to-day, and proceeds south to complete her loading for Londop. She is fixed to finally ■ leave the colony on Octobor 18, taking the place of the Tainui, and will run on time-table date. The New Zealand Shipping Company's ship Waitangi, from London, arrived on October 30th, after a passage of 101 days, and will commence discharging cargo to-day. The American barque Grace Deering sailed for New York on September 29 with a cargo of kauri gum and flax. The Mission yacht Southern Cross arrived from Melanesia on September 2-2, and left again on the 30th for another cruise in the Islands, and is expected to return about Christmas. The Shaw.Savill and Albion Company's barque Himalaya is now loading for London, and should be ready for sea early this month. The American barque Alice has arived at Lyttelton from New York, and comes. on to this port for which she has a part cargo, to load for New York with kauri gum and flax. The Norwegian barque Eidsiva is loading timber at Mercury Bay for Hull, England, and will sail next week. The Norwegian barque Handel Lust is now • discharging a oargo of produce from the South, ana will then proceed to the Kaipara to load timber for the United. Kingdom. The Tyser line have made an alteration in their agency at this port, Messrs. Heather, , Uoberton, and Co., and Mr. 4. H. Nathan being appointcd < joint agents. The Tyser Line have now inaugurated a monthly service from London, Melbourne, Sydney, and New Zealand ports. .•'■■-■'
