The New Zealand S.S. Company's s.s. Taranaki, Captain Wheeler, arrived at the Port Chalmers Kailway Pier at 5.30 p.ni yesterday—a litt e late, the run from Lyttelton having been made in the teeth of a strong S.W. breeze that anything but facilitated progress. She is from the North, via the usual route, and brings 25 passengers and a moderate cargo. As was the case with hur congener, the steamer Wellington, the steamer Taranakl has long; needed such an overhaul as the handy appliances of th*s Port provide for; and, accordingly, the Company has to dock her in the Graving Dock as soon as the Wellington comes out of it, and submit her to a thorough preparation for the hard work of the coining summer season. She will be docked cither this evening or to-morrow morning. Concerning her late passage from the North, we see by the report supplied us by Mr Edminston, the purser, that the Taranaki left the Mauukau at 9 a.m. on the 25th, called at Taranaki at 6 a.m. next day, and as there was a great deal'of sea on, did not succeed in completing the whole of her business with the place, as the surftoats could not work. She remained there an hour and a half, and then proceeded to Nelson, had strong N.W. wiuds and dirty weather by the way, and arrived there at 9.30 p.m. the same day. Left again at 11 a.m. on the 27th, arrived at Picton at 7.30 p in.; loft at 3 a.m. on the 28th, and reached Wellington at 9 a.m. Made smart work of landing and shipping cargo, and stemmed on for Lyttelton at 6 p.m. Thick dirty easterly weather attended her from Nelson and continued to Lyttelton, which was gained at 4p m on the 29th, and left two hours later. Off the Peninsula she met the S. W. breeze, fresh and squally, and carted it to the Port, where she arrived as above. Amongat the passengers by the Taranaki was the Hon. Major Kichardsou. _ The steamer Tararua, with the New Zealand portion of the European mails via Suez, took her departure for Melbourne, via the Bluff, yesterday afternoon. At the Heads she met the steamer Taranaki coming in, transhipped from her some bags of European mails from the North. " The brigantine Kate Brain was towed down from Dunedin yesterday morning by the steamer Golden Age, and went alongside the ship Tweed to take in transhipments for Oatnaru. Aa we stated in a former report, the ship Haddon Hall has to receive a now foretopmost, a new lower cup and other repairs aloft rendered necessary by her misadventure in a gale during the passage out. Dismantling her foi ward proceeded yesterday, and was attended by a serious accident, happily unattended by damage to life or limb. In the afternoon the "boson's" canir was employed in sending the fore-yard down. The yard was untrussed and hanging in the tackle, the lower bock of which was a heavy three-fold fish block. Suddenly the hook gave way, and down came

the yard by the run, and being a cock-bill at the timo, I licport yard-arm went right through the Railway Pier, the shock driving tho wooden ond of thoyard back lnf> the hollow iron part of it. The yard then fell across the ship and broke short off at about the Blinds, the starboard arm going overboard, but not ontirelv, the lift and other gear keeping it attached to the ship. The accident entails a serious loss upon the ship, as a new iron yard will have.to bo provided. It was lucky that none of the men were hi tho way of the fulling mass of iron.- The liule made in the wharf was quickly ami neatly stopped by boards nailed over it It was not a very large one. Yesterday's seasonable chango of weather was thoroughly appreciated at the port, and shipping business was resumed with redoubled vigour. Bulk was broken on board the ship Haddon Hall, and a lot of ear.ro landed, its condition being quite satisfactory. Discharging the Parsee and Corona proceeded. The hitter vessel his landed the whole of her Dunedin cargo, and has only a few tons of transhipments, mostly railway bridge work, for Oainaru, left on boar.'. About two days' ste-.nly work will complete the discharging of the brig Hobo. The steamer Easby left for Newcastle yesterday afternoon. We no not expect bur to return in much less than a month or live weeks, as during her stay at Sydney, whither sho goes from Newcastle, her passenger accommodation is to be enlarged and improved She took away six passengers and some 50 tons of cargo, and cleared the harbour in good stylo. Taking advantage of the fresh sou'-wester of yesterday, several coasters, including those which put in weatherbound on .Monday and Tuesday, went to sea. The Crest of the Wave and two other schooners, the names of which wo could not ascertain, left the anchorage at the Heads for, we presume, Oamaru. They were followed by the schooner Zior, bound to Wanganui; tho schooner Janet Ramsay, bound to Jamaru; the Mary Ojjilvie, for Greyiuoulh; and the three-mn.'-ted schooner Agnes Jessie, for the Bluff. The latter was towed out by tho steamer Jane, but did not go far: she brought up at the Heads to wait for a change of wind, the one blowing being a dead muzzier for her. The ketches Huon Belle and Isabella, bound to Catlin's River, also sailed, and for the same reason brought up at the Kaik. Another ship with immigrants, the Christian M'Auslaud, put in an appearance yesterday morning, and came to an anchor oil Hay ward's Point. We shrewdly suspect that she arrived on the previous night— lights, and some people say a rocket, being se<:n just about wheio she anchored. Her arrival at the Port was delayed by the strong southwest breeze blowing. The Samson went down for her, but although ' a very smart and good boat in her proper line of business, she is not competent to tow a heavy ship against such a breeze as that of yesterday, and hence Captain Edie wisely abstained from making an attempt. Consequently, the Christian M'Ausland, with her freight of human beings, hud to remain outside. Weather permitting, she will be towed in early this morning ; but as there is in the way a contingency of the breeze not slackening, she may have to retain her present back seat for a day or two Here is another illustration of the urgent need that exists for a proper tug-boat for the port—such a one as would make light work of towing in with the tide, against a breeze like that of yesterd iy, as heavy a 'ship as the Christian M'Ausland. Truly the port is heinously unprovided for in this respect. When '..'ill Government or private enterprise step in to remedy this glaring defect in the Harbour service. An eflicient tug at all points is reqrired, not a resort to second-hand makeshifts,, of which we could name two that already figure in the Port waters, and not to advantage. We are informed by Mr Mudie, of the New Zealand Shipping. Company, that the ship Waikato is expected to leave Auckland for this port on the 10th inst., and possibly may bring up a part cargo of timber The Waikato is one of the Company's own vessels, and is a grand ship all points. She will be the first of the Company's ships to leave for home with the season's produce. It has been decided to dock her before she starts. :

The steamer Wallabi, bound South, left port yesterday evening, with a full cai-go and passenger list. The Harbour Company's steamers Maori and Beautiful Star sailed last night—the one for Timaru and Lyttelton, the other for Oainaru—thence to go to Timarn, with original cargo shipped at Lyttelton.
