After a passage of nearly four days, the New Zealand Shipping Company's Whakatane arrived in the stream at Wellington from Auckland. The vessel came from St. John, and will berth at the wharf this morning. 'No doubt the Whakatane met tho full force of the recent southerly gale coming down the coast, and this has been responsible for the delay. On completion of discharge; here the Whakatane proceeds to Lyttelton and Dunedin to finish. Subsequently Ehe loads at Oamaru, Timaru, and Lyttelton, leaving the last-mentioned port for London towards 1 tho 'end of this month. AN UNEXPECTED ARRIVAL. Yesterday morning a strange steamer was observed making for Wellington Heads from tho north. She turned out to be the cargo-carrier Roseric, Captain Sbotton, bound from Peru, South America, to Melbourne. Tho Roseric is not a stranger in these waters, and on former occasions has put into Wellington for bunker coal. This timo she is here for the same purpose. and before proceeding on her journey 450 tons of Westport coal will be nut in her bunkers. The Roseric, whioh has a Chinese crow, left Peru on April 6, and experienced adverse weather all the way down to the New Zealand coast. During the latter part of tho journey tho vessel mot with the strong southerly gale which visited these chores recently. So strong was the wind and sea that the steamer only made 200 miles in two days. Tho Itoscric's cargo consists of a full load of granulated sugar. This is tho first of its kind to bo sent from Peru ,to Australia, and is in tho nature of .an experimental cargo only. It is expected that the Roseric will continue her journey this evening.

Timaru. Wellington, and Auckland, takes her final departure for London from the northern port on May 29. The officers and crew of the ferry steamer Awaroa were paid off at Wellington yester* day, and the vessel wag laid up. On account of her lat-c arrival at Wellington from northern norts yesterday, the Monowai's departure for Lyttelton and J)uncdin has been postponed till 2 p.m. today.

(from London) is due in port from Napier this morning. She berths at tlie Queen 6 Wharf No. 6 to land cargo. Another big liner, which is Boon to make her first acquaintance with ocean voyaging in the Australian trade, is the Nestor, of 14,250 tons, built for the Blue Funnel Line of Messrs. Alfred Holt and Co. Nothing has been piore remarkable of rccent years, says the Sydney "Telegraph," than the number 'of line new passenger and cargo libers built for tho trade with the Commonwealth, and it' is claimed, for the Nestor that she is the largest of them all. It. is, however, given to no vessel in these days to hold that enviable position very long, and the Nestor is apparently destined to be surpassed in point of size by tho new White Star steamer Ceramic, which is of no less than 18,000 tone. No merchant vessel of anything like theso dimensions has yet been seen in the Australian trade. Messrs. Murray, Roberts are tho local agents for the above line.
