TnE P.N.Z. and A.R.M. Cos. steamer Otago, W. J. 0. Symons, R.N.R., commander, arrived from Melbourne, via Hokitika at 1 p.m. on the 13th. She left Sandridgo at 2 p.m. on the 6th, and passed Swan Island at noon the following day. Experienced fresh gales, heavy squalls, and high sea for the first three days, afterwards light easterly winds, arriving at Hokitika afc 11.30 n.m. on the llth, accomplishing a splendid run of 4 days 17 hours allowing difference in time. Left at 3.30 p.m. on the 12th, and reached Nelson at 1 p.m. next day. The following address was presented i:o Captain Symon a upon the last up-trip of tho Otago to Melbourne :—" Dear Sir, —At the termination of our voyage from New Zealand to Melbourne with the June Mails for England, via Suez, wo, your passengers, cannot leave the sfeamship Otago without expressing our deep regret that, notwithstanding the anxious and strenuous efforts made by youi-self and your officers to reach Hobson's Bay on the morning of the 28fch, to'overtake the time lost on the New Zealand coast, through tho heavy gales experienced there, you were unable to reach Port Phillip Heads until a few hours after the departure of the Geelong. But the fact of our not leaving Port Chalmers until the morning of the 23rd, and the extremely heavy weather and obstinate head winds experienced throughout the passage, and especially since leaving the Swan, have most unfortunately defeated your indefatigable endeavors. During our experience, which with some of us extends orcr many years, we have never known more unfavorable circumstances for making a 'run,' and yet the fact of our passage from wharf to wharf being under six days proves most conclusively not only the unremitting exertions of yourself and officers, but also the thorough efficiency of the noble vessel under your command. With the best wishes for your future welfare, we are, &c." [signed by 18 passengers.] Shipping- at the Buller River. —The Westport Times of 20th July says : —" Quite a .fleet of vessels have arrived within the last .twenty-four hours, including tho Stormbird, William Miskin, Nelson, Beautiful Star, Ahuriri, steamers, and the Rapid, schooner. The Beautiful Star has a full cargo, and has made a capital trip. Sho is the first boat that has come to the Buller from Dunedin, or rather Port Chalmers direct, though the William Miskin followed close on her heels, from the same port."

Stranding oe the s.s. Ahuriri at the Buller. —The Westport Times of 12th July says : —" The s.s. Ahuriri, in coming in yesterday morning, went ashore on tho South Spit, and afc the time of writing remains there. Her cargo consists of cattle, &c, from Wanganui, so, as ifc happens, her position is by no means so bad as it might have been under other circumstances, for where she is, is, as near as possible, the exact spot sho would have chosen for landing the animals. When these are discharged, she will float off easily. She is nofc in the least danger, and a tide or two Avill see her safely at the wharf, in all probability." [Wo aro informed by a passenger that the Ahuriri is high and dry, and will require to be launched at a considerable cost, but the Stormbird has left Nelson with all necessary' appliances to tow her off, if practicable— Ed.
