Coleman reports leaving Newcastle on the 9th November, with the wind from thesouth ward ; made the Solander on Sunday, the 23rd, but whs detained on the coast by strong north east winds; signalled the Bluff on ihursday morning, when a south-west wind which sprang up enabled her to reach the Heads at 8 p.m. on Friday. She brings 500 tons of coal. Another likely-looking boat was launched from Mr Paterson’s shed, at Pelichet Hay, cm Saturday afternoon. Her measurements are : Length, 30ft; depth, Min ; beam, Ift; and, as her crew, who style themselves the L man ( yew, intend to go into practice at once, there is no doubt but that she will figure well in any races that may be got up. mtoce t!hat 111 tlic same shed the keel of a Juft boat for the Otago Rowing Club has been laid. She will probably be finished before the end of the year. The barque Glimpse, from 1 uget Sound, arrived on Saturday afternoon, and moored between the railway pier and the old jetty, from whence she will probably raft her timbei. Captain Hornsby reports leaving Puget Sound on the 6th September, with fine weather and moderate N. VV, winds till reaching lat. -j deg. N. ; had moderate S. E. trades, then a continuance of heavy gales from the S. and S.S.W. ; crossed the oil the loth Octobei in Ion" 145 \V. ; on the 23rd October sighted Vistoc Island; passed Banks’s Peninsula on the on the 22ml November ; had thick weather on the coast, and arrived off the Heads early on Saturday morning. She has on hoard the body of Mr Gray, late mail agent for New Zealand. We thank Captain Hornsby for Victorian papers up to day of sailing. After discharging, she proceeds to Auckland, having been purchased by Messrs Henderson and Maefauanc of that city. , _ . ~ . The New Zealand Company s s.s. Ladybird, from Northern ports, arrived at 6 p.m. on Saturday, her mails and passengers being conveyed to Dunedin ;by_ special train.

"VV e thank hei purser, s;Mr Dougherty, for report and files. She leaves again for the North on luesday afternoon. No doubt a great many were deterred from spending the holiday on the water on account of a heavy 8. VV, wind ‘blowing this morning. The p.s. Golden Age, with the Provincial Brass Band on board, arrived at Port Ciiahneis at noon with a few pleasure - seekers. Captain Paterson kindly allowed them a half an hour ashore, and the Port was enlivened by the band playing. She then proceeded down to the Maori KaiL The day was observed as a close holiday at the railway pier, as there was no vessel discharging. The only work done was on the Claud Hamilton, where cargo was being taken in, and on the May Queen, which took iu ballast. The ship Lady Jocelyn, in the stream, was discharging, and taking iu ballast. I he £J.W» wind was taken advantage of by the barque Lady Agnes, which sailed out this morning with part cargo from Now York for Lyttelton. The only arrival was the Huqu Belie, with a cargo of timber from Catlin s River. Lhe beat up as far as the Islands, whore she came to anchor. The ship Helen Denny, whose report was published in our Saturday s issue, has come into port one of the cleanest and most wholesome ships that have arrived during the present season. Although tbe passage has been somewhat retarded, Captain Peters seems to have been most successful in securing the comfort of the passengers, the result of which is found in the excellent health and spirits iu which they arrived. The passengers, who seem to have been a well-selected lot, relieved the tedium of the voyage by organising various kinds of amusement, for which every facility was afforded by Captain Peters, while the scholastic arrangements of the juveniles were maintained with strict regularity, and with as much benefit as might be expected from tutelage for the same period at an ordinary district school. The Cornish miners who arrived by the Denny, previous to their departure from Wellington, sang three hymns in the Welsh language, which sounded remarkably well, and had a fine effect.. The scene attracted considerable attention, as it was the first time that such an occurrence had taken place at the wharf. - / ndependent. Early yesterday morning the ship Jessie Headman, from Glasgow, was signalled at the Heads. The Geelong immediately proceeded down and towed her Upas far as the Quarantine Ground, there being sickness on hoard. Pilot jfelly deemed it prudent to anchor her thcic, waiting for the decision of the health officers. The s.s. Result was then brought into requisition to convey Mr Monsou, clearing officer ; Captain Thomson and i)r U licalth officers, and Mr Allan, emigration officer, down. Upon arriving there they wore they were informed there had been thirty eases of measles and twenty-six cases of whooping cough, with ten deaths on the voyage ; and there were twelve cases of whooping cough now on board. The officials immediately ordered the yellow flag to be hoisted on the Jessie. .1 he steamer then left the ship, and proceeded up the river to his Honor the Superintendent, when, after a consultation, it was decided that the ship he detm’ned pending the decision of the Loaul of Health which was to nit?t*t this morning.
