The Eotoiti brought clewn North yesterday 472 boxes of butter and 61 cases of cheese, for the Rimulaka from Auckland; and 133 boxes- of butter lor the Rangatira, 100 for Melbourne and ifor Adelaide trom New Plymouth. The Corinna brought from New Plymouth a... boxes and 20 Kegs of butter and 1577 oases of cheese for the Rimutaka; 302 boxes of butter and 63 cases of cheese for Melbourne; and 120 boxes of butter for Adelaide. , The Waihora, - from- Sydney, ‘ passed Farewell Spit at 2.45 p.m. yesterday. She will not, of course, bo inspected by the Health Officer till'this morning, and probably not be berthed till to-morrow morning. , When crossing the huo, Father Neptune’s Court was . held on a more than usually elaborate scale by the company of the Wakantti. . Before the ducking ceremony, a procession, headed by a remarkable scratch band, paraded the ship and created considerable fun. The “fairies, ’ personated by six muscular forecastle tenants, had no respect for personages,and everyone on the ship was-operated upon, generally with more Vigour than skill. Considerable surprise has been felt _ in shipping circles regarding the quarantining of the Wakanui./ ..When the vessel reached the" Cape absolutely no communication was allowed with theshore; no mails were permitted ;tp be taken,? and not even a newspaper allowed on; board. A tender certainly went off to ,tho ship and took off a few passengers, and'their luggage, but no, ,one from the. tender was allowed to approach the vessel: ?; As no other port but Hobart (a clean port) was touched, the hardship of the quarantining at Wellington is apparent. The New Zealand Shipping Company s Wakanui, which arrived from London via Capetown and Hobart on'Tuesday, was berthed last evening—four- feet, off the wharf, and tho mooring lines protected with discs. The voyage - but was of an uneventful nature, fine weather bo:ng experienced till- crossing: the. Tasman Sea, when, strong , sonth-sonth-west_ to west gales were met with. The Wakanui left London on F ebruary Ist, and owing to foggy weather, did not .-reach-'-Flymouth till the 3rd. Teneriffo. was reached •on the Bth. and -the vesseL loft ? ' again for Capetown, which was made on the sth of March.. Tho engines- were overhauled, and the voyage: continued at midnight. . Hobart was reached on March ,19th, but owing to want of berthing accommodation, the vessel was delayed twenty-four hours, making a start again for Wellington on the" 21stl- - The usual sports and concerts were held during the voyage, but owing to the plague at Capo- 1 town, the vessel was not berthed, and, no mails wero taken on ‘board; Captain Croucher is in command,' and his officers are:—Chief officer. Mr H. C. Barnes, R.N.R. ; second officer, Mr N. Shpre-Nye; third officer Mr" M. l Alford,'' R.N.R. ; fourth officer, Mr ~,C. ToffKP,- R.JI.R.; tniddv, S. Soxners-Vine; -chief engineer, Mr R. Vincent/ R.N.R.; second. Mr Christie; third. Mi? Bush; medical officer. Dr Edgar; Stoward-in-charge, Mr Adcock. The Wakanui has 1800 tons of general cargo for this port.

The Whnkatane is due from Napier early this morning. The Himitangi came off the slip yesterday 'afternoon. She will a special trip to Greymouth to-day. for a cargo of coal. - ' •■■■-; , : ' ■ Messrs Bethell, Gwyn and Co., the-wsll-known firm of London shipbrokers, were to start recently a-direct steamship line between "Adelaide, Melbourne "and Sydney and Avonmouth, the vessels engaged being of GOOD tons burden. Bristol has to thank its cold storage facilities for this now' business. ' THE WEATHER. TYPICAL NEW ZEALAND STATIONS.
