The Mawhera is expected to return to this port on Monday from the South, for the purpose of filling up with produce for Northern ports. The barque Latona (says the " Evening Star,”) now in the graving dock, is receiving a most thorough overhaul. She has been stripped and re-caulked, but owing to the scarcity of shipwrights at the Port, the work is not progressing as fast as the contractor could wish. Several of the iron knees have been out, and she will be supplied with new ones. Her main keel will be re-fastened as the surveyor directs, The vessel will be re-trunnelled and fastened, her topsides and decks will be re-oaulked, and when she leaves the contractor’s hands she will be in all respects as good as when she left the stocks, her planking being principally teak.
