Tho Star of Now Zealand, which arrived in port from Napier yesterday afternoon had a. rather rough passage to Wellington, a strong southerly wind and big seas being encountered. lair weather was experienced previous to mating Napier. At Auckland 398 cases of gum were loaded, at Gisborne 1584 bales ot wool and 16,000 carcases of mutton, and at Napier 219 bales of wool. The star of New Zealand has about 500 tons ol general cargo for this port, which will complete her unloading, and she will take in a large quantity of meat, wool and tallow.

Preparatory to taking np the Welling-ton-Lyttelton running the Rotorua vas to go on the patent slip at six o clock this morning for a cleaning. The Hanpui will bo ready to take up nor running next Saturday. • For some reason tho Takapuna. did not take in any butter at New Plymouth yesterday, but is bringing down C4O cases of cheese. Perhaps the experience of Auckland shippers the other, day in sending butter down for the Banffshire, when that vessel was still at Lyttelton, has made the New Plymouth people err on tho side of caution. ■ , , ■ „ Following are the movements ot some ol the Union boats:—The Coriuua will leave Timarn to-day for Wellington direct ana sail 'for Grevmouth direct on Monday. Tho Janet Nlcoll will leave Dunedin on Sunday, will work Oamaru and Timarn on Monday, Lyttelton on Tuesday and will reach Wellington on Wednesday. The Bukaki will leave Westport to-day foi Wellington. Tho Herald will leave Grey | mouth to-day for Wellington and Napier I Owing to tho work, in connection with; the extension of the Jenvois quay wharf and tho erection thereon of the new wharf sheds, several coal boats have had to be] berthed at 'the Queen’s wharf. Complaints as to the arrangement have been made by ships' agents, who state that ooalj dust is continually finding its way into the| saloons of vessels lying at the opposite 1 tees. Tho arrangement, however, is quite unavoidable, and, instead of blame being attached to wharf officials over the matter they are rather to be complimented for tin manner in which they meet the difficulty and at tho same time study the convenience of ship-owners. It is certain that no on' will bo more .pleased , than Mr, Ferguson and his staff when the liberal measures now being undertaken to provide more accommodation are completed. THE WEATHER.
