A misunderstanding between (he Penguin and her rudder 'brought the vessel into slight colUmou with _ the Queen’s wharf yesterday. A stringer of the

wharf was splintered, but the steamer was at 11 o’cbck this morning the Shaw-Savill steamer Corinthio is to leave ■he 1 111 r-;i■ wharf for London. She has a very full list of passengers and a big can-o. The list ot passengers has already been imblished in this column. ’-ill,. Kiiipaka. winch has lately received a thorough overhaul, is to resume her j uanim- in the coastal trade this evening. leaving for Waiiara at 5 o’clock Lho Uaikare yesterday evening look from UelJingion 2.0 to M) tons ot cargo for North") n ports. \dvici-s received by Messrs W. and G. Turnbull ami Co. announce that t he sailing vb-.fl Mario cleared from Philadelphia on June «lh, for Wellington, with a lull ' :, Tho °KoIol:i im! L fro lll Timaru, should reacn Wellingion early this morning. She Pa. about .20 ions ol genera 1 cargo abounl. In the afternoon sim will leave for Westport, probably at -I o’clock. The Uainmie, from Waitura, is to arrive- in u cllmgl'iit, lu-morrow, and to h-uvo a ,r uin for Auckland, ou Monday. After a"?hurt stay there .-lie will double on h'-r Hacks, call at Gisborne and *>amor, and roiuru to Wellington in mullness to sail to England early m July. Ino iiuddart-l’arKer steamer Zealandia is due about 8.110 a.m. today from bydmy via the North. She brings some 220 tons of cargo lor Wellington. She will leave for Southern ports this afternoon, iho company's neat steamer on tho run will be the V icl-.ria, which left Melbourne on Tue-day tor the Ululf, via Hobart. She is due in Wellington on July ath, on which day she will leave again for Sydncy diipct. „ Tiic Gothic is to leave Wellington for Lyttelton on Saturday morning. . The Tnnoaua (of the Tyser line) is duo in Wellington next week from Auckland. The Hawke's Bay, of the same line, is uDo to reach Wellingion next week, probable on Wednesday. She will complete la-re her loading with frozen mutton, and will make Wellington her last port in the colony. , . . tT'ho latest addition to tho Australian merchant fleet is the Bombala, a fine steamer with accommodation for 329 passengers built for the JJowartl-Smitli Gompunv. At Hie time of her trial trip the .-learner attained a mean speed of lm&> knots on the measured milts when loaded to 21ft draught marks, carrying 26d0 tons dead weight. Owing to the exceedingly small amount of vibration tho visitors who were on hoard formed a high opinion of her sea-going qualities. Discharge of cargo from the Tyser boat Niwaru proceeds apace. A quantity of electrical wire for tho superintendent of telegraphy was discharged yesterday. -The Niwaru completes her unloading at this port, and on Saturday goes to Timaru to loud frozen meat. Afterwards she'visits Lyttelton. Her subsequent movements arc at present uncertain. T’ho collier Waipori which reached Wellingtou last night from Westport, brought a big cargo of “black diamonds" to be transferred to the Union Company’s hulks for the future use of the company s fleet. Fourteen bullocks for the future delectation of Christchurch householders are to be shipped ou tho Rotomahana this evening by Abraham and Williams, or Palmerston North. Tho New Zealand Shipping Company 3 steamer Kimutaka reached Plymouth on June 21st, after a passage of forty days.

The Kotoiti, leaving iVellmgton on Monday, will transfer to the Wainui at New Plymouth on Wednesday, and then return to Wellington The Rotoiti will sail again fro W ellington on Thursday, Juno 30th. for Nelson, New Plymouth and Onehunga. The WTainui,mstead of coming smith on the 29th inst., returns to Onehunga from New Plymouth. Tho Pukaki reached Groymouth from Wellington pesterday morning. She was to start for Westport at 4 o’clock this morning. Tho Kittawa was to sail at 4 a.m, to-day from Lyttelton-for the Grey.

SAILING SHIPS. . A paragraph printed yesterday in this column concerning some smart sailing recently done between America and England by the schooner yacht Ingomar, has evoked some local memories and coinparisons. In conversation yesterday with ..Captain G. Smith, shipping-master for the port of "Wellington, a “Times reporter heard some interesting particulars 'of bygone feats by sailing vessels. In 1872 the Aberdeen liner Aviemore, on which Captain Smith was then an apprentice*, -sailed 2CBO miles in seven consecutive days. The vessel, however, met with contrary winds on her voyage, and the time occupied on the run from London to Melbourne was seventy-four days--not regarded in those days as specially meritorious. The seven days* sailing total, however, was an undoubtedly fine record. The Aviemore belonged to the Aberdeen clipper line of George Thompson junior, and Co., which owned the famous Thermopylae. This ship made the run from London to Melbourne (somewhere about tho year 1870 j in fifty-nine davs, a sailing record probably unsurpassed, and a time record probably beyond the capacity of any cargo steamer trading between those ports at present. The Thermopylae's succeeding trip was from Melbourne to Shanghai, which distance she covered in thirty days, and then she filled Tip with the new season, s tea and was.the first ship Home in the annual tea race from China to .London —in those davs the blue riband event of the sea, and a contest in which shippers, merchants, and the general public alike took considerable interest, THE COSMOPOLITAN CREW. The skipper of the tramp steamer "Bumping Billy,” remarks tho Liverpool "Post,” was engaging a new crew. “What’s your name?” he said, to the foremost anplicant. “Giuseppe Grmolieri,” replied the man. "Eyctalian? "Tees, sair.” "Very good; step on one side. And yours?” he went on to the next A.B. “Ivan Ikarioff.” “Russian?’ “Bolish, sare.” "Right; step alongside o' lYewseppy. Next man?” Wilhelm Zwillanguzl.” “German?” “Ja. “Very good; over you go. Next?” “Manoel Oliveria. I Portuguese seaman, Senhor. “Step over, then, Manniwcl. Next?” “John Thompson, sir.” “What?” “John Thompson, sir.” “What in th-thunder—-what the—what nationality?” screamed the horrified shipmaster. “English, sir,” replied tho man. For a full half minute the unhappy skipper stood speechless, his countenance turning from purple to orange; and from orange to gray; and then, with a gurgling gasp of “English, by gum!” ho tottered, staggered and fell prone upon the deck.
