The Suddart-Parker liner Westralia left Sydney for Wellington at noon on Saturday, with eighty passengers and 357 tons of cargo. She is expected to arrive here on Wednesday afternoon, and wul sail for Melbourne via Southern ports and Hobart at 4 p.m. on Thursday. The Drumblair, having completed the loading of her Home cargo—9o6s bales of wool, a few casks of tallow and a little scrap iron—was towed into the stream, by the Duco on Saturday, preparatory to sailing for London. , The scow Moana on Saturday morning shifted her berth from the Railway Wharf to the Wool Jetty, where she will discharge her cargo of kauri timber. As the Rotorua's cleaning operations were not finished in (time that vessel was not able to make her initial run in the Wellington-Lyttelton service on Saturday night. Her passengers were taken on by the Rotomahana, which left for Lyttelton at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The Banffshire, which left this port for the South on February 14th, returned early on Saturday morning. Wool and some general cargo l were taken in at Lyttelton and frozen mutton and general cargo at the Bluff and Timarn. The Banffshire will finish her Home loading at this port with frozen meat and dairy produce, and is timed to sail for London on the 7th inst. • ’

Captain Mclntyre, • one of the most popular skippers of the mosquito'fleet which trades to this port, has resigned from the command of the Manaroa and is at oresent resting at Wanganui. " Captain Gibbons, late first mate of the Kennedy, has been appointed to the charge.of the Mafias roa. ‘ /. , The Government steamer Tutariekai left yesterday morning for Greymouth td take in a load of sleepers ,fdr Lyttelton. She will then take some railway tarrihg.es from Lyttelton to Whangarei,, ‘ ,

The Monowai arrived from Melbourne and the South on Saturday morning with a large number of passengers and a anantity of general cargo, including a large line of grain. She had a fine trip rip the const, light variable winds and smooth seas being experienced. The Monowai left for Svdney at 4 p.m. Messrs Denny Brothers, of Dumbarton, the designers and builders of the Bimutaka, have also in their yards another new steamer for the New Zealand Shipping Company, the Ruapehu, and her keel was laid dowu alongside the Rimutaka when the latter vessel was well on towards comnletion. The new Ruapehu is a. little longer and a little finer run than the Rimutaka, and her builders expect to get another knot out of her. The extra speed is to be gained at the expense of her carrying capacity, for although of the same size as the Rimutaka, she will carry over two hundred tons less cargo.' The‘Ruapehu is expected to sail for the colony about the middle of the rear.

A London cable states that the ship Glenburn, which left Lyttelton on November 12th. arrived in London last Friday.
