The Taupo leaves for Auckland and Tauranga to-morrow morning, and the Wanaka for the South at 5 p.m. to-morrow. The barque Athelbert, which arrived at Dunedin on Saturday, had a passage from home of 105 days, and it was quite an eventful one. In one interval of 36 hours she was constantly in imminent danger of being crushed, as Bhe was passing no less than 100 large icebergs with immense fields of broken ice during that period. The ships Wairoa and St. Leonard's, and H.M.S. Nymphe sailed from Wellington for England on Saturday. The Wairoa took a cargo value £86,495, and the St. Leonards a cargo valued at £91,745. The ship Waitara also sailed from the Bluff, with a cargo valued at ££88, 100. The bargue Glenlora, now loading at Napier for home, requires about 600 bales to finish her cargo. This well-known passenger vessel possesses superior saloon accommodation, and offers special inducements to passengers. The Dane, 12 guns, screw corvette, Captain John C. Purvis, left Simon's Bay. at the Cape of Good Hope, on 2nd Ocrober, for the Australian and New Zealand station.
