Yesterday afternoon the Huddart-Parker steamer Anglian left for East Coast and Southern ports. The Northern Company's steamer Waiotahi left for Tauranga and Opotiki last evening. Yesterday the Union Company's steamer Manapouri left Dunedin for the North. She is due at this port on Sunday morning next, and proceeds oil to Sydney on Monday evening. The repairs to the American barque Sea King are proceeding rapidly, and it is expected that the vessel will come out of dock on Friday. To day the auxiliary schooner Medora will arrive from Northern ports. The scow Moana arrived from Whangaroa yesterday morning, with a cargo of timber.

V An average speed of 14J knots was main- »"• •' tained by the Gothic oil her trip from Port t ' Chalmers to Napier, and she covered the 'distance— nautical miles—in the excellent je time of 33 hours 43 minutes. This consti- !•' tutes a record between these two ports, and % it will probably remain unbroken for some time.

ICE SIGHTED. >!•>' The Shaw, SaviU, and Albion Company'; WiteamerMaraarl, Captain D. arrived ./ rom London shortly before eleven o'clock ' nwterday morning. and having a large quan-%'p-hh. ii- nf explosives on board, auchored at the rawto Dr. Lewis, the health officer, the Custom! authorities, and the repr.sentativtMotthe press went; down in the steam v bunch Despatch, and boarded the TMiel, »ud

Dr. Lewi?, finding that no sickness had occurred on board daring the passage, granted the usual pratique. Similarly to all the vessels arriving at the colonies from London the Mamari had an experience with the ice. On March 15, when iu latitude 44.19 South, longitude 49*3 East, nineteen bergs were '.lighted, varying in height from 230 feet to 300 feet, The bergs were ranged ou each side of the steamer, forming a channel which extended for about 80 milei, the distance being about ten miles across, The Mamari brings 3595 tops of general cargo for Auckland, including a quantity of machinery for the goldfields, and about 900 tons for other ports. The steamer comes into port In very heat- order, reflecting great credit upon the officers, both on deck and in the engine department. Of the voyage, Captain Levaok reports: — The Manuri left the Albert Docks nn February 8, at 1 p.m., and anchored off 'Hole Haven to take in explosives. Hove anchor at 4 p.n.. the next day, but at 10.30 p.m. a thick fog set in, and the steamer had to anchor off Deal for the night, leaving again at 6-30 next morning. The weather was still hazy, and soon settled down into another thick log, which lasted down the Channel and across the Bay of Biscay, and did uot clear away until the 12th, the vessel's speed in consequence being moderated. Light W. to N. winds prevailed to Teneiiffe, where the steamer coaled on the 17th. The N.E. trades proved strong until the fifth degree N. latitude, when light variable air# were met with. Crossing the Equator on February 2ath, the S.E. trades were enoountered in Ist. 2deg. South, and increased in force to a strong breeze, which prevailed to the Cape of Good Hope, where the steamer signalled on March Bth. Light easterly winds were met with for the next few days, followed by strong N.W. and N. breezes. Here very unsettled weatheb was fallen in with, and at times a high sea was running, causing the ship to roll very heavily. _ After crossing the meridian of Cape Leuwin, on March 26th, she carried fine weather for the remainder of the voyage, passing Cape Maria Van Dietnen at 11 a.m. and Cape Brett at 10.10 p.m. on Monday, the harbour being made as above. Shortly after the anchor was dropped the work of discharging the explosives was proceeded with, and continued during the afternoon. _ This work will be completed this morning, and the steamer will then berth at the Queen-street Wharf to discharge her general cargo. Associated with Captain Levack are the following officers Chief, Mr. J. Christie; second, Mr. F. E. Harland; third, Mr. J. Baruadale; fourth, Mr. F. Reuaut. The engine department is under the control of Mr, McPherson, who has with him Messrs, H. Pocock, F. Harvey, and Watson, and Messrs. C. Turner and S. McNeil refrigerating engineers. The steward in charge is Mr. H. Robinson. On discharge the Mamari proceeds south. oal|> ing first at Giaborne aud Napier. Messrs. T. and S. Morrin and (Limited) are the locnl agents, Messrs. Russell aud Somers acting as brokers.

THE WARSHIPS.

The Goldfinch arrived at Sydney on March 27, after an absence of several months. During the interim, she has visited, among other places. Hobart, Melbourne, and Adelaide. On the return voyage, she called at Eden and Jervis Bay, remaining several days at the latter place for shot practice. The Royal Arthur, which is bringing the relief for the Wallaroo, Mildu% and Waterwitch, is expected at Sydney, from England, on Friday next, or about nine days earlier than anticipated, and will be dispatched homewards at the end of the month, It is believed that the hastening of the return of the Flora and Royal Arthur to England is due to a desire of the Admiralty that as many ships as possible should take part in the naval review which it is understood will take place on June 20, Accession Day. The Dart lias left Tasmania for a surveying cruise, In connection with the Australian Squadron, orders have been issued for the Mildura to be commissioned, and the Wallaroo to be re-commissioned on the 28th instant. The Pylades, from Adelaide, arrived at Melbourne on March 29, en route for Sydney, The Ringdove, from Sydney to Plymouth, called at Bowen, Queensland, on March 29. The Torch, which replaces the Ringdove on the Australian station, is due at Syduey this month. The Waterwitoh will re.commission at Sydney shortly. The French warship Amiral Perseval left Sydney for Noumea on March 27,
