Owing to .the strong southerly gale and dirty weather the Manaroa was forced to shelter in Ohau Bay on the trip from Wt«-’ nganui on Tuesday night. After an unsuccessful attempt to continue on to pert early yesterday morning, the little steamer managed to get away during the forenoon, arriving at the Queen’s Wharf early yesterday afternoon. The Mana had a similar experience, and did not arrive until 6 o’clock last evening. The barquentine Jasper, Captain Bur--ton, which has been given up as lost, was an iron barquentine of 252 tons register, built at Greenock in 1867. She was 12‘>ft lin long, 24ft Sin beam, and 13ft Sin deep. The Jasper some years back was a constant trader under the command of Captain W. Stannarcl, between Mauritius and Dunedin. : Huddart Parker and Co.'s new cargo steamer, the s.s. Moorabool, of 4000 tons burthen, sailed from London last month for Western Australia. She is to be engaged on the Australian coast, and should enable this company to overtake their rapidly increasing trade to Western ports. ■; Owing to the Haupiri having been detained on the West Coast through bad weather she will not leave Nelson for Wellington until 9 o’clock to-night. While on the patent slip the Pania is being fitted with a new propeller. The Opawa, also on the slip, is being supplied with a new propeller. Both steamers leave for Blenheim to-night. As the Elingamite,did not leave Lyttelton until ofter the, arrival of the through express last night, she is not due here until between 12 and 1 o’clock this afternoon. She is timed to sail for Napier, Gisbofiie, Auckland and Sydney at 5 p.m. The Poherua arrived from Lyttelton yesterday morning with part cargo of coal from Westport, which ip being transhipped to the bunkers of the new teamer Warworn. She will return to Westport early this morning A; large shipment of kauri gum from Auckland is being shipped to London by the Tyser liner Hawkes Bay. By the Oraapere on Tuesday 500 cases came to hand, 1627 oases and sacks- were brought forward by the Te Anau, and another 1600 'cases are expected by the Mararoa to-morrow, all for transhipment to the same steamer. -The liner is expected here -either on Monday or Tuesday nest, WAIKARE. FROM SYDNEY. . ; The Wuikare, from-Sydney, was berthed at the Queen's Wharf at 12.20' this morning, after a most disagreeable passage. She left Sydney at 7 p.m. on Saturday, passing through the Port Jackson Heads' an hour later. Cape Farewell was abeaui at 2.30 p.m. and Stephen’s Island at 6 p.m. yesterday. Strong southerly winds with very heavy sens were experienced throughout the'trip. About 50 miles west of Capo Farewell the Waikare passoi'K-a lead-coloured barque with black top-sides;' bound east, and 10 miles east of Cape Farewell the barque Acacia, bound westward, was sighted. The Waikare has '225 tons to put ort here and 300 tons for Southern ports. During her stay in Sydney she was docked for a cleaning and painting. The Waikare leaves for Melbourne, via South, this afternoon. RUAHINE. FOB LONDON. - The New. Zealand Shipping Company’s steamship Ruahine, will move away from the Queen’s Wharf at 6 o’clock this morn-, ing, and will leave for London, via Monte Video and Teneriffe at 3 p.m., with a full load of frozen meat, dairy produce, tallow, wool, etc., and the following passengers : —First Saloon—Misses Anson (4), Buller, Ewing (3) and maid,. Murray . Aynsley, Medwell, ; Pyno (3) and maid, Quicke, Turnbull (2), Gordon Webster, Mesdames Anson,' Clarke, Ewing.

Murray,; McLean, Patterson, Purvis, Parke, Robin'! Welsh, Witham, Walker, Ward, Master Litchford. THE WAIWERA. ’ ! The Shaw. Savill and Albion Company’s new steamship Waiwera, Captain Stuart, made her first entry into this port yesterday morning, after a 36 hours’ passage .from Napier. Fine weather prevailed for the greater part of the trip, bat on reaching Cape Palliser a heavy southerly gale, with thick dirty weather and a copiousdownpour of rain was encountered, which completely shut out the loom of the land. The steamer arrived off the Heads bn Tuesday night, but under, tho . circumstances . found it impossible to make the entrance with safety, and so stood off and onnntil the weather cleared j'esterday morning. The Waiwera is a graceful looking vessel for one of her class, having three masts,, a spacious flush deck fore and aft, and five hatchways, ■ three of which are .insulated for the carriage of some 80,000; carcases, of mutton. Her dead weight carrying capacity is 8,600 tons, and she is fitted with the very latest and most ay proved Rear for working cargo with rapidity. "During her stay in port the Waiwera will ship some 7000 t carcases of sheep and 3000 packages of butter, part of which will arrive from New Plymouth by-tbe Takapuna on Saturday. The local agents .find it impossible to dispatch the steamer to London before Tuesday next at the earliest. A NEW STEAM SERVICE. Advices have been received to the effect that a new shipping company, with its headquarters at Trieste, had just been formed for creating a steam service.tc South America' and Australia. The capital named was two million florins (,£200,000), certainly not a largo sum for such an ambitions project. It is not stated whether it is a passenger service or simply for cargo work; but coming so closely on the action which Now Zealand took with reference wih the influx of Austrians recently, and to the test which was applied here, the establishing of a line of steamers seems to indicate that in Trieste at all events, they are not afraid of embarking in a shipping venture to Australia. The announcement made by some of the existing lines that they would in future decline to carry Austrian labourers to Australia for transhipment to New Zealand may have had a stimulating effect upon the promotion of the new service.
