FORT AHURIRL ARRIVALS. January. 26— Go-Ahead, b.b., from Wellington "via Castle Point. Passengers—Mr and Mrs Wixey, Messrs Edwin, Meredith, Stuart, and Thompson. 27 —Loch Fleet, barque, from Auckland. « Tho steamer Go-Ahead, Captain, If. M. Dicker, left Wellincton on Tuesday evening at 6.30, and armed nt Castle Point at 4.20 a.m. next day; landed passengers, mails, and 14 tons of cargo, and left at 11 o'clock, arriving hero at 10.20 p.m. yesterday. She ■was brought inside and moored at the cattle wharf at 11 o'clock this morning, •where she is discharging her cargo, some 80 tons, being principally transhipments out of tho Huruniu from London. She sails for Wellington ngain nt 4 o'clock this afternoon. The s.s. Result's departure for Wairoa hae been still further postponed on account of the bar at that place being blocked by a heavy S.E. swell. Tho New Zealand Shipping Company s barque Loch Fleet. 746 tons register, was just coming up to the anchorage from Auckland as our report left tho Spit. The s.s. Kiwi, Captain Campbell, left "Wellington at 5 o'clock last night, and Should arrive here early to-morrow morning. She has two large locomotive engines oil board for the' Railway Department, ■which will be landed at the breastwork. She is advertised to leave for Wellington at 4 p.m. to-morrow. Tho Union Steamship Company's s.s. Te Anau, Captain M. Carey, went as "far as Adelaide on her last trip across to Australia. She has arrived a day late by timetable at Dunedin, and will therefore not arrive here before Sunday. The s.s. Eotorua is duo here on Saturday morning early from ITorthem ports and Fydney, sailing again for the South at 11 a.m. The sliooner Silver Cloud is still lying on her port side, with the water half-way.up her deck, the ebb tides not having effected her position in the slightest. The exact extent of her injuries have not yet been ascertained, but a diver is we believe to go down Bt slack water this afternoon, and if they are not very great an attempt is to be made to stop the leak, and pump her out with Californian pumps, so as to take her alongside the breastwork and get the coal out. In the meantime a number of men are employed in getting the yards and topmasts down, and otherwise dismantling her. As she at present lies it is almost an impossibility to get much of her cargo out without great cost, and if her injuries are of a very bad nature, it will be a matter of considerable difficulty to shift her from her present position. Mr J. North cha 3 been employedto tvork at her in the interests of Mr Vautier and the New Zealand Insurance Company.
