The topsail schooner Annie Hill, which sailed for Auckland yesterday morning, ran back to the bay last evening for shelter from the north-east gale. The schooner made another start for Auckland this morning. The brigantine Eliza Firth sailed at '1 1 o'clock this morning in ballast for Lytteltou. Captain Lindsay, of the lonic, is to take command of the Coptic on the arrival of his own vessel in London, and Captain Kempson will be placed in charge of the lonic. The White Star Company, when the last mail left London, laid the keel of a steamer which is to excel in size the gigantic Gothic. She will be employed specially for the cargo trade in either the Atlantic or New Zealaud trade, probably the latter. The work of altering the Tokomaru was proceeding vigorously when the Gothic sailed for the colony. It includes the dismantling of the passenger accommodation to devote the space to cargo purposes and to the carnage of a large quantity of frozen meat, for which special insulation is being provided. The company's new steamer Aofcea is expected in New Zealand about the middle of next month. AUCKLAND, to-day.— Arri%-ed : s.s. Tarawera, at 12.30 p.m., from Gisborne. Sailed : s.s.
