LYTTELTON. .Time o—Arrived, 7 a.m.: Tararua, from Wellington. NELSON. June C—Arrived, 10 a.m. : Alhambra, from Wellington. PICTON. j uno ;_Sailed early : Taranaki, for New Plymouth. The steamer Phcebe arrived alongside the wharf on Saturday morning from the Northern ports, after a fair passage from New Plymouth to port, the voyage from Mannkau to New Plwnouth having been rough and unpleasant. The Phcebe left here on the 20th May, after towing in the Wennington on the 25th, ■and had a fair ran to Manukau Harbor, the wind being fair for the first half of the trip. She reached Manukau on Saturday, and started South on Wednesday morning, crossing the bar at 10 a.m. The run to New Plymout was stormy, a heavy southerly wind blowing. To Nelson and thence to Picton which was reached on Friday afternoon, the weather was moderately fair. The Phoibe, after discharging and receiving cargo, left again for the Southern ports with several of the members of the Synod, in the course of the afternoon. The steamer Taranaki, which arrived on Friday, sailed North on Saturday with a large number of passengers, including the Bishop of Auckland, and the Northern members of the Synod. The steamer Stormbird returned from her Wangamu trip on Saturday afternoon, after a fine passage. She left here on Thursday evening, and reached Wanganui at 11 a m. on Friday. Discharged and loaded cargo, and left again shortly after midnight; crossed the bar a few minute 3 after one, and experienced light N W winds and fine weather up to arrival. The p.s. Manawatu arrived in harbor from AVanganui on Saturday afternoon, having left about the tame time as the Stormbird. On arriving at the Heads about one p.m. the Manawatu eased steam, and lav to, while several spars from the wreck of the Earl of Southesk, purchased at the auction sale by Mr John Martin for the New Zealand Steam Shipping Company were fastened. With these she came up the channel, rounding the point about 3.30 p.m. The steamer Kangatira arrived at the wharf on Saturday morning, after an unusually fine trip up the East Coast and back. She took the Taranaki's berth as that vessel cleared away, and reports of the round trip as follows :—Left Wellington at 0 p.m. on Monday, the Ist inst., and arrived at Napier at three the next morning, having made a fast ran of twenty-one hours. Napier was left at G p.m. on Wednesday, and Poverty Bay reached in twelve hours from that time, with the aid of a light S.W. breeze ; at noon she left the harbor again, being obliged to do so owing to the increase of the wind's force; and reached Napier on the down trip at 3.30 a.m. on Friday. At 11 a.m. she was once more under way, but the southerly wind and thick weather made it advisable not to call at Castle Point, so she came on to Wellington direct. The Rangatira is to leave for the East Coast again to-dav. , Tin: Napier returned at 2 a.m. on Saturday from Foxton, having left there at 11 on the previous morning. As usual, when she hails from that port, tho steamer's cargo consists mainly of sleepers, close on a thousand white pines coming down in her this time. The schooner Tauranga sailed for Hokitika on Saturday. , ~ . ~ The Anne Melhuish is rapidly putting out the cargo she received from the McCalliim More. Schoon'Ts find it more convenient and speedy to load there than at the wharf, and close upon half the large number has been put over the barque's side. On conclusion of the charter from the Government, she will resume her old berth in the Newcastle trade. The schooners Janet Gray, Tauranga, and Dnncuin, cleared out at the Customs on Saturday, the former for Oreymouth with railway iron, the two latter with pipes for Hokitika. The steamer Murray, which left here on the 20th for Nelson, proceeded from that port to Napier, where she arrived on Thursday. She sailed for Wellington on Friday evening, and arrived late tho following night. , , . , . The coasters Falcon and Elizabeth have arrived m harbor. , , ~ The schooner Fiery Cross, having finished the discharge of her cargo of grain from Lyttelton, is now berthed alongside the wharf. She is there to take in, if her hold can accommodate them, about 100 of the jarrah piles lately landed at the wharf from the bargue James Hannell, with which she will proceed to Napier. The arrangement is made with Messrs. lirogden nnd Sons. The Covernrnenl p.s. Luna returned yesterday from her Napier trip. She left the wharf on Friday with a number of the Armed Constabulary, and arrived at Napier at 1 a.m. on Saturday. Having landed her passengers, she took on board a fresh contingent of the Armed Constabulary, and sailed at (5.30 p.m. in the evening for Wellington. Fair weather prevf lied up and down the coast. Ships Ivingat the wharf should be careful to close their hatches at night, and when not working. The case of the unfortunate fireman Clifford, who was killed bv falling into an uncovered hold on the occasion of the fire on board tho City of Newcastle, will not yet have been forgotten. Last night the hatches of the barque Australiml, alongside the wharf, were left quite open, and a perilous ladder stretched to the wharf. Anyone attempting to go on board the Luna, which was lying alongside, ran imminent ti*k of timiblin" on to the Coal at the bottom of tho hold, vln'ch was straight in front of the communicating ladder. Ship 3 at the wharf should bo prevented from laying'such traps for the unwary. Tho whole of the large shipments brought to lh<>port of Wellington by the almost simultaneous arrivals of the Wennington, La Hogue, and Invorallan, is turning out in good order; but no cargo has yet been landed on the wharf to compare with the splendid condition in which the "notions" by the American barque Serene were put out. It seems tho Yankees when they do happen to put a cargo in an American bottom, do it well. Tho shipping columns of the Auckland papers testify to the fine order in which the Serene's cargo for that port was landed. The fine old wooden ship flolden Sea followed the example of the M'Callum More on Saturday, and commenced bending sails preparatory to leaving harbor We believe Captain Strachan lias not yet quite fixed on her destination, though it is not unlikely Lyttelton will receive the honor of a visit. To-morrow will be the last chance for those who have not already been on board of and admired the McCallum More, to pay a visit to Captain rtmitn. The ship while lying at the wharf, has been courteously thrown open to the unreserved Inspection of all, and during the five weeks almost everyone has crossed the gangway from the time that she came alongside, when ore had to go carefully downwards, to the time when her cargo was just out, when her steps were almost perpendicular, and everyone has praised tic courtesy of her oflicers. Hail It not, been for her speedy discharge and as speedy loading of ballast, her departure would have been marked by an unusual ceremony.
Several negotiations were proposed for holding a monster ball on board on one of the moonlight nights of last week, like that Riven on hoard the Halclmio some time back, and Captain Smith at once signified his willingness to place his ship at the disposal of the contracting parties, but the time was too short and the plan fell to the ground owing to insuillcient notice Tlio .McCalUun Afore proceeds to Newcastle from here anil will there load coals for San Francisco. The latest of immigrant vessels at Auckland has boon the iron ship Kooparell, 1044 tons. Captain Landberg, OS days from port to poit, which arrived there on the 30th of June In tine trim, with her large number of immigrants in excellent health. The ship Ballnchmoyle. since arrived at Lyttelton, was sighted on the 30th March. Three deaths and three births occurred during the voyage, the three newcomers of course having the name of the ship as a cognomen. Speaking of the immigrants, the Xeii: Zealand lit,-aid savs:—" The immigrants per Rooparell were landed yesterday. It is to be regretted that some of them preferred the accommodation provided at the lock-up to the quarters at their service in the Immigration depot. It is a bad beginning, and bodes ill for the persons referred to." Tile new Mission schooner Southern Cross (auxiliary screw) whose departure from Auckland we noticed on Thursday, does not seem to have started under very fair auspices. Shortly after leaving Auckland, her ciiief odicer, Mr. Donguard, was taken ill with rheumatic fever, and so severely that Captain Jacobs deemed it advisable to bear up for the Day of Islands for medical assistance. Mr. Donguard was landed there, but had to give up all hopes of proceeding on the trip, and Captain Jacobs subsequently engaged the services of Mr. Armstrong, of the schooner Pacific, to fill the post of chief otlicer. The .A T ci" Zealand Herald speaks in high terms of Mr. Donguard, and sets down over-anxiety on his part as to the equipment and power of the vessel, as the cause of his illness. His Excellencv the flovernor's yacht Blanche, says the Southern Cross, will shortly proceed to AVellington. The vacht is now refitting in port, some slight repairs having been found necessary to be accomplished. Captain Marks will take the vessel to AVellington, at which port he will resign his command, having obtained the situation of harbor master at the port of Tauranga. Loss of the Scicooxek Mativ Thompson-.—ln-telligence has been brought to Auckland by the Lady Powell of the loss of the well-known collier schooner Alarv Thompson, at Little Omaha. She was a topsail schooner of 40 tons register, and was owned by Captain McConnell, her master. She lias for many vears run as collier between the Day of Islands and the Thames, supplying coals to tlio batteries. She left the Thames early last week for the Day, but owing to stress of weather put into Tittle Omaha for shelter. During the strong westerly gale which, blew on Tuesday, the schooner parted from her anchor, and went ashore on the rocks, and remained in a helpless condition. No lives were lost, but the vessel has become ,a total wreck, no hopes being entertained of getting her off. Messrs. D. Tonks and Co., of Auckland, have sold the barque East Lothian at public auction, under instructions from the owners, Messi-3. It. AValker and Co. The vessel, after a spirited bidding, ivas knocked down to Mr J. S. Macfarlane for the sum of £1350.
