The Omapere is to leave here at midnight for Napier, Gisborne and Auckland, calling at Picton to pick up 2500 sacks produce for forward ports; The Warrlmoo is not due here from Vancouver, Honolulu and Suva until Sunday next, but it is thought possible that she might pick up a day, as she has been steaming very well of late. As the Talune (arriving bore to-day from Melbourne via the South) has a large cargo to handle at this port and it is a general holiday, her departure for Sydney has been deferred until 4 p.m. tomorrow. The produce for Now Plymouth by the Herald from South will be transferred to the Rotoiti hero, enabling the former steamer to leave for Greymouth direct to-morrow. Tbo Kiwi arrives from Akeroa on Thursday, and leaves tbo same day for Westport direct. The barque Kinfauos was towed into the stream yesterday morning, and will sail for Dunedin as soon as it is convenient. The freezing hulks Prince of Wales and Jubilee are berthed at the Wool Jetty with full cargoes of meat awaiting the arrival of the Tyser liner (Star of England, due here early next week. Fears are expressed that tbo steamer in question will not have sufficient room for this large quantity. The Government steamer Tutanekai is expected here this afternoon from Omapere with the force of. Permanent Artillery which were dispatched to the recent native trouble at Rawene.

Tbo Mana, which is engaged in transferring 700 sheep in (he Marlborough Sounds, is expected back to-night, and is to leave for Patea to-morrow. Captain Connor has been appointed to the command of the Wanganui Freezing Company's tender, recently bulU at Auckland for (bo express purpose ofv tendering direct liners in the roadstead. Captain Connor was formerly in charge of the schooner Enterprise and more recently captain of the steamer Napier at the Bluff. A dock of lit) sheep were shipped for Lyttelton by the Rotomahana. last evening. Mr Carson, lata second officer of the Walbora, Is now acting in the same capacity on the Monowai. in place of Mr Holford. Mr McLeod, formerly third orllcer of the Rotorua, has left for Tasmania to join the Mahlnapua as second. The work of overhauling the steamer Kahu was commenced yesterday morning, a gang of workmen being engaged in the fore-hold, where the angle lines are to be renewed. The Patent Slip is nob available until Thursday, consequently she will not ho taken up until that day. Messrs Luke and Sons have been entrusted with the irouwork in connection with the overhaul. She is expected to coire off tho slip next Saturday. The fine coal hulk Ottalina, which has been undergoing an extensive overhaul at the Wool Wbart for some time past, is now almost ready for i work, hut is to be taken up on the Patent Slip to h-vVe her bottom inspected and repaired beforn bcius put into comtiusAioa again. A number of planks on cither side have been replaced, the copper- renewed, and the vessel strengthened generally, making her one of the finest bulks in tbo harbour.

Tbo Now Zealand Shipping Company have been advised that the barque Silverbow left Dunedin for Wellington on Saturday. She comes hero to load woul, tallow, Ac , lor London.

The signalmen at Beacon Hill reported a vessel off the Hoads at 5,45 last evening, burning bine lights* the signal for a pilot. Shortly after 7 p.m. the Duco, with Pilot ShilHng.on board, left part to pick up the sailer, but alter proceeding as far as Sinclair’s Hoad and burning about a dozen “ flareups" and blue lights with no result the tug returned, the sutler having evidently put to sea again. The w&uthor was clear and there was a fresh north-westerly breeze blowing et the time. The vessel is probably the barquentino Sydney Belle, now 18 day's out from Sydney. The Mararoa, which, arrived at Auckland from Sydney yesterday morning, sighted a barquentino on Sunday, steering . east. She is probably the River Haute?, bound from Newcastle toKolpara, coil-laden.

The Auckland steamer Kia Ora was taken over by tho Onion Company yesterday. She is to be doomed at Auckland for an overhaul before taking up the mast Coast running. Captain Worrall, of the Wainui, reports seeing a barquentino off Jackson’s Head at 4 o’clock yosterday atternooD, bowling along with a fair breeze behind her in tbe direction of Wellington Heads. This Is in all probality tbe Sydney Belle (which left Sydney for Wellington on May 6th), and tbe vessel which signalled for a pilot later in the evening. Nothing was seen of the sailor on the trip across from Picton. THE UNION CO.’S COMMANDS. The Dingadee, bound from Westport to Lyttelton,'calls in here to-day. when Captain Kerr. lato of the OrowMiti, will take command. Captain Shaw, of the Dinyailcc. relieves Captain Adams, of the Omauere, the latter gentleman having been appointed to the command of the Kia Ora, recently purchased at Auckland. The Kia Ora is to ran between Auckland and Napier, calling at all tbe bays and'porta en route. Her running will not affect that of tbe Omapere in the slightest degree, good evidence that there is a rapidly-growing trade along the East COust of our island.
