DEPARTURES.

May 12—Annie, ketch, for Russell,

The steamer Result, Captain Baxter, returned from Wairoa and Whakaki at 10.30 p.m. yesterday, bringing ten passengers, five tales of wool, and a good quantity of firewood. She will steam for Wairoa again to-morrow night. The s.s. Bella returned from Clive last evening with. 32 casks of tallow, which she transhipped to the Go-Ahead this morning. She left again shortly before noon for another cargo, and will endeavour to return in time to tranship it to the Go-Ahead hefore she sails. The s.s. 00-Ahead's departure for Wellington and Lyttelton was postponed yesterday until 5 o'clock to-night, owing to the quantity of cai'go to be discharged and .ripped. The s.s. Maori, Captain H. Anderson, returned from Mohaka last night, after a few days' imprisonment in the river at that place. She brought several passengers, 35 bales of wool, and 9 pigs. The ketch Annie, Captain Cameron, sailed for Enssell in ballast this morning. The three-masted schooner Mary Wadley was brought inside and moored at the breastwork at about noon to-day. The schooner Atlantic cleared at the Customs to-day for Auckland in ballast. The s.s. Maori reports the cutter Clara still lying bar-bound in the Mohaka river but expects she will be able to get out on this afternoon's tide. The movements of the Union Company's boats are as under :—The s.s. Rotomahana Was to leave Auckland at about noon to-day, and will arrive here at daylight on Saturday, sailing again for Southern ports and Melbourne at 11 o'clock. The s.s.iArawata will be a day late by time-table date, and will therefore not arrive here before Sunday. The advertised time for the launch to leave the wharf, with the outward Northern and Sydney passengers, is 4 p.m. We take the following from the Wairoa Guardian of the 11th instant:—The little steamer Maori, which left here on Saturday morning for Napier and Mohaka, has again met with a mishap at the latter place. Information was received in town on Monday night to the effect that the s.s. Maori was strand d on the Northern Spit, at the entrance to the Mohaka river, as she was taking the bar the same day she left here. From what we can learn, it appears that there was a heavy sea on the bar on her arrival, and that some misunderstanding arose as to tho signal used by the locally improvised pilot—Mr B. Stevens. Mr Stevens, we believe, from what we can gather, warned the steamer off, but his signals were either misunderstood, or disregarded, as the vessel held on her course. When taking the bar, wo learn, Mr Stevens endeavoured to turn the steamer into a safe channel, but without success, the vessel striking on the North Spit. Fortunately there were no passengers on board, as on a former occasion, so that little inconvenience was experienced; all the cargo was got out, and efforts made to get the vessel off, and with such success that she began to move, the propeller acting well ; but in consequence of the delay caused by loosening the shore line instead of cutting it, the vessel was again thrown on to the beach, this time higher than she was before, and all the previous efforts rendered fruitless. Just before going to press last night we learned that the Maori got off safely into the river yesterday afternoon, and will •team for Napier this morning.
