The barque Royal Diadem, for Guam, will proceed to sea to-morrow. The p.s. Samson returned last night, and steamed up to Dunedin.

The New Zealand Company’s s.s. Ladybird took her departure for the Northern ports. The ship Margaret Galbraith was removed yesterday from the stream to the railway pier. The barque Speedwell will be towed to Dunedin, where she will discharge the remainder of her cargo of timber. The new s.s. Shag had her compasses adjusted at the Port yesterday, and will take her departure this evening on her maiden trip to Shag Point.

The fine new ship Invercargill, belonging to the Albion Shipping Company, was towed to sea at nine o’clock this morning by the tug Geelong. She has a full cargo and fourteen passengers, and being in good trim may be expected to make a good passage. The Commissioner of Customs is asked by the ‘ Lyttelton Times ’ to wake up his department to a sense of its duty by not making fish of Captain Logan, of the Hero, and flesh of the masters of coastal boats. “What is more common,” our contemporary adds, “than to aee the saloons of our coastal steamers crammed to overflowing, and the unfortunate passengers left to pass the night on the tables, or benches, without bedding or blankets, and without any other covering than the rugs or coats they may happen to have brought with them? So common is this treatment that people seem to think i.t useless to complain.” Messrs M'Meckan, Blackwood, and Co.’s s.s. Tararua arrived alongside the railway pier at 11.30 this morning, from Melbourne, via West Coast and the North. She left Hobson’s Bay at 3 p.m. on the 7th, cleared the Heads at 5.30 p.m., and experienced light variable winds until the 11th, when she encountered a heavy N.E. gale, which continued for twelve hours ; from thence fine weather until arriving off Hokitika, at 3.30 a.m. on the 13th ; left again at 2 p.m., and arrived off Greymouth at 4 p.m.; left again at 5.30 p.m., and arrived at Nelson at 1 p.m. on the 14th ; left again at 12.30 a.m. on the 15th, and arrived at Wellington at 1 p.m. on the 16th ; remained there until noon of the 17th, .and arrived at Lyttelton at 6 a.m. on the 18th ; left again for Port Chalmers at 4.30 p.m., and arrived as above. We thank her purser (Mr L. Hart) for report and exchanges.
