The barque James Hannell arrived last night from Freemantle. The Ladybird sails North to-morrow at one o'clock. ..' The Coq du Village has sailed for Newcastle. PORT CHALMERS, Tuesday. Tb« barque Hodda, from Riverton to Lyttelton, pasae'd the Heads at noon. The brig Alexander has sailed for Kaipara., ■;

The barque Cordelia, from Liverpool via Dnnedin, may be looked for at any moment, having left Port Chalmers last week. Besides her original cargo, she brings eighty tons of flour from Dnnedin. The Cordelia is consigned to W. and ft. Tnrnbull and Co. The Hannah Barrett, Captain Eenner, has been engaged to carry the bridge material ex Cordelia to Wanganui. ■■ The Napier left Foxton yesterday afternoon, and. mav be expected early this morning. We notice that she" was only an hour and a quarter in Foxton, having left on the same tide as she arrived. She sails again for Foxton this afternoon. The discharge of The Douglas is nearly completed, only the railway material now remaining on board. The Wellington portion of the Oneco's cargo being . all discharged, she will take in 100 tons of ballast and * proceed forthwith to Nelson. Thi3 vessel has turned out her cargo in excellent condition. The XXX having repaired damages, will sail this day for Blenheim. The Stonnbird sails for Wangamu to-morrow. The steamer Manawatn is now on the Patent Slip undergoing an overhaul. She will be repainted and decorated, repairs effected to her machinery, and be otherwise improved. It is expected she will be able to resume 1 her trade to Wanganui to-morrow: The Jane Elkin arrived from H&velock yesterday morning with 20,000ft.'of .sawn timber. The ketch Hunter left Wellington early yesterday morning for Eangitikei, with a light breeze from the northward, bat when she had arrived off Sinclair Head the wind had increased considerably. The crew then found that the vessel was insufficiently laden. With but little canvas set the vessel lay over till the eeas came on board over the leeward side, washing the decks. To prevent a capsize, the master thought it prudent to retnrn to port, and shaped his course accordingly, arriving off the wharf at two o'clock yesterday afternoon. Her cargo, which consists principally ~-~»*i-givctiMa, will bo discharged, and .»»<>. shipping a few tons of ballast she will resume her voyage Thebarqnes A«i«- ' -~ J r"»"«"> irom .Newcastle, cargoes of coal, the former into a hulk, and the latter into drays. With the exception of railway iron, the Helen Denny finished discharging her cargo yesterday morning. She will tranship the railway material, which is for Napier, into coasting vessels. AVe understand that she will proceed to Napier herself to load wool for London. The steamer Taranaki, Captain Wheeler, arrived .. yesterday morning from Manukau, Taranaki, Nelson, and Picton. Moderate north-west winds and fine weather were experienced. She left again for Lyttelton and Port Chalmers yesterday afternoon. The barque Pasithea, now at Nelson, has been chartered to load at Auckland for New York. Pilot Bulliffe reports that the Anne- Melhuish, • barque/was sheltering in Cloudy Bay on November 9, having, experienced a strong north-east wind. She wa3 bound from Wellington to Newcastle.—ilarlhorovqh, Express, November 14.. . The barque Chocola, expected from San Francisco for some days past, arrived in harbor early this morning, after having been anchored outside the reef since nine o'clock last night. Her passage has occupied fifty-nine days. She brings a cargo of barley, which, if no market can be found for it here, will be taken to another port. Captain Shepherd, who will be recol'lected as having brought the Hokulele here in July last, reports of his passage as follows: —Left San Francisco on September 10. Had fresh breeze from W.N.W. for two days, then light N.E. winds until ■ sighting Oahu, fourteen days from San Francisco. Left Honolulu same day with light trade winds, and continued with them until reaching lat. 9° N. The Chocola. is a French-built vessel, five years old, classed Al for twelve ycare at Lloyds. ■ She now carries the Hawaiian flag, being owned by Mr. P. C. Jones, of Honolulu. It is not unlikely that she may be sold here with her cargo, as was the case with the Hokulele. —Auckland Star, November 10. The Kennedy.—The s.s. Kennedy went ashore at the Grey on Thursday last, while entering the river, i She now lies about 100 feet north of the flagstaff on? the north beach, and will require to be launched some' considerable distance. Messrs. N. Edwards (and Co./j are making every preparation for doing so, and Superintendent Engineer, Mr. A. Brown, proceeds to j the Grey by the Wallace in order to undertake the' launch. — Nelson Colonist, November 11. New Schooner.—Messrs. Sims and Brown have received from Mr. G. W. Binney, on account of Messrs. Anderson and Mowatt, millers, of Dunedin,? an order to build a double topsail schooner of about! eighty tons register for the coast trade. The vessel Is L_.to be 'relay for launching by the middle of February. "" Her dimensions are to be as follow: —Length, 80ft. ; beam, 20ft.; depth of hold, Bft. Messrs. Sims and Brown have already laid the keel at their yard, at the North Shore.—Auckland Star, November 10. This Return or tme Golden Crown;—Mr. W, Lodder manager to the A.B.P. Co., has furnished U 3 with a most satisfactory explanation of the above vessel's return'to Auckland. The large quantity ofcoal on board the Crown had the effect of sinking her aft, about twenty Inches deeper than she has ever been before. The rudder case appears to have shrunk away from the sternpost in the part that has not been before submerged, the consequence being that the, water forced itself into the rudder case and thence i into the after part of the vessel, which at no time was i making more than two. inches of water per hour. That portion of the coal which is stowed aft is .now being removed, in order to get at the leak, and as soon, as it -Is stopped the vessel will again proceed to sea. It is expected that she will bo qnite ready by Saturday iiext.—Soidhem Cross, November 13. <,<,ty^
