The in? Lioness took her departure on Saturday evening for Hokitika.

The Union Company's s.s. Taupo, with cargo and passengers for the Northern Ports, took her departure from the railway pier this afternoon. The brig Pakeha, for Kaipara, was towed to the Heads on Saturday afternoon by the p.s. Iron Age. It is a somewhat strange coincidence (says the ' South Australian Advertiser') that both the Barrabool and the Que- nsland were built not only in the same yard at Jarrow-on-Tyne, but also on the same blocks.

Captain Underwood informs the * Post' that the Arawata touched the bar going out of Port Chalmers on her last .trip, and that the Otago bumped heavily going in. The steamers Wanganui, from the Bluff, and Taiaroa, from Timarn via Oainoru, arrived early yesterday morning. Messrs M'Meckan, Blackwook's s.s.

The steamers Beautiful Star, from the Bluff, and Samson, from Oamaru, arrived on Saturday evening.

The topsail schooner Maggie Patterson, for Shag Point, via Napier, sailed this morning. The Ibrigantine Swordflsh, from Hobart Town, was signalled at the Heads.this morning. The North German brig Emma, from the Mauritius, was signalled at the Heads this forenoon. The result of the inquiry at Lyttelton into the loss of the barquo Ann was that the Court found the mate of the Bpyal Sovereign had acted unwisely in not callirg the captain when he saw the position of thei two ;vessels; and second, that he should have broken the vessel off her course sooner, and so have avoided the possibility of such an occurrence. They did not consider that it was a serious act of negligence, but merely ah error of judgment. The certificates of the captain and mate were then returned.

The brig Tower Hill, with a full cargo of timber from Hokiangd, was towed up the harbor yesterday afternoon by the Geelong and moored alongside the hulk Cincinatti. Owing to the loss of both anchors and chain, - and having had her windlass carried away whilst riding out a heavy westerly gale at Hokianga, at which port she was bar-bound for twelve days, Bhe did not sail till the 18th inst. Passed Cape Egmont on the 19th, meeting with a heavyS.E. breeze for twelve hours; passed Cape Campbell (on the 24th; thence she experienced light'northerly winds to arrival, and towed up as above. Captain Hodgson reports that the brigahtinc Frank Guy, for this port, was loaded and ieady for rsea when he left. She was towed to Dunedin this morning by the p.s. Geelong.

THE BABQUE COLUMBUS PBOM LONDON. rhe barque Columbus, with cargo and passengers from London, consigned to the New Zealand Shipping Company, was signalled at the Heads this morning. The pa. I' on Age, proceeded dowij and towed her inside the Heads, but owing to thefresh S.W. wind and ebb tide she came to anchor oft' the Maori Kaik. The Geelonjj, aftor towing up the brig Tower Hill to Dunedin, steamed down to the Kiarand took the Columbus in tow, and towed her up as for as the Quarantine Ground, where she anchored, having on board a quantity of powder. The Columbus left London on the 7th May, and crossed the equator thirty-one days out. Passed the Snares on the 2nd inst, after a passage of eighty-three days. On the 17th instant William Cook, A.8., fell off the royal yard, struck the rail, and fell into the sea. Two lifebuoys were thrown to the unfortunate man, but as he made no effort to grasp them it was evident he received his death from striking the railing. It was impossible to round rhe ship to owing to the heavy weather. SHIPPING TJBLEGBAMS. Gbetmouth, August 28.—Arrived: St?ec, from Dunedin. Sailed : Beucleuch, from Dunedin.
