Tlic ship Fernglcn was towed into the inner berth at the Gladstone I’ler on Saturday at 8 a.in by the s.s Akaroa. the Pomona, the formeroccupant o: the berth. having been towed into the stream same tide. The latter ship has cleared the Customs, and will sail shortly. "" The, splendid s.s. Uiiivarooma, Capt J. McLean left Nelson on Bth June at 10 pm, and arrived in Wellington mi nth June «t 9.40 a m Experienced ijioderate S. E. winds throughout ; arrived at Lyttclton next day at 7.20 a.m.; was moored at the Gladstone Pier ; and sailed for Melbourne, via South, at 1.15 p in on Saturday. The barque Stillman 15. Allan, lienee, arrived at Wellington on June 7!h. She left here on the 4ih. On the ill-charge of her New York cargo at that port she proceeds to Newcastle to load coal for •Japan. At the latter port will load with tea for America. Captain Ta.;]or complained to the ** New Zealand Titne>” shipping reporter that when outside the Heads on Tuesday night no pilot came out to take his vessel into harbor, and the result was that he had to poke his way in himself. He also states that he was somewhat similarly treated at Lyttelton and Port Chalmers.

The well known Newcastle tradtr the barque Adelphoi, Captain Gregory, arrived at Lyttelton on Friday night. From report kindly furnished by the master, we learn that Newcastle was left on May 19th, and easterly winds experienced the whole way across, Cape Farewell being made on Juno 3rd. Itan through the Straits with fresh westerly breeze ; thence experiencing light southerly and variable winds to anchorage on Friday night. The Adelphoi will be berthed this morning at Peacock’s Wharf to discharge. The Union Co’s s.s. Hawea, Captain Wheeler, arrived in harbor at 12.30 p.m. on Saturday. She left Onehunga at 0.15 a.m. on the oth, and anchored Inside the Heads at 11 a.m.; cleared Manukau bar at 8 a.m, on the 7th, and arrived at New Plymouth at 7.30 p.m.; left at 0.20 p.m, and arrived at Nelson at 11 a.m. on tiie Bth ; left at 8 p.m, and arrived at Flctonat4 a.m. on the oth ; left at 8.15 a.m, and arrived at Wellington at 1 p.m.; left at r p.m., arriving as above. Strong southerly and S.E. winds prevailed throughout. We thank Mr Newman, the purser, for files and report. The Hawea brought a quantity of wool and tallow for the ship Euterpe, and was moored alongside that vessel to discharge it. She sailed South at 6.30 p.m. on Saturday night.

The cutter Dido left Blenheim at 7 a m yesterday, bad strong easterly wind, and arrived in port at seven this morning. Captain Shilling reports a collier barque in the Strait yesterday, and shortly after passing she carried away her fore-topgallant mast, there being a stiff breeze from the eastward at the time. Alter tire accident to the barque she made for Port Underwood. The Dido did not get close enough to make her name out.—“ Evening Post,” June 9th.

The smart brigantine Kenilworth, Captain Bell, left Wangaroa on June sth, with a still - S.W wind; passed East Cape at 2 a.m on June 6th with strong S.W wind, which lasted until off Hawke’s Bay, when it was so severe that she hove to for twelve hours; passed Cape Palllser at 4 a.m on Thursday, and since then experienced easterly winds till off the. Peninsula on Saturday morning; thence light S.W winds till arrival in harbour yesterday. The Captain reports passing the three-masted schooner 'Falrlie on June oth oft - East Cape. 'The brig Sea Spray, as reported in Saturday’s Issue, arrived on Friday [night. She is not now under Captain Grant’s command, Captain James Crockett having superseded him. Reports leaving Newcastle on the 25th with light easterly wind r then had fresh N.E gales for some days; after which westerly weather prevailed till Cape Farewell was made on Monday last; ran through Straits same day, but on Tuesday experienced strong S.E gale, which lasted till Thursday, when beads were made; lay outside becalmed till Friday, when got again underweigh, anchoring [off Stoddart’s Point same evening. Was towed into a berth at No 1 wharf by the s.s Akaroa on Saturday night. The Alexandra, barque. Captain J. Lament, arrived in harbor on Saturday afternoon from Newcastle with a cargo of coals for Mr W. H. Harjnreaves. Reports leaving Newcastle on May 29th, fcd experiencing fresh N.E winds during the first fefedays; then moderate winds from S.W to June stb, when she ran through Cook’s Straits, Stevens’ Island having been sighted same morning early. From the Straits experienced light and variable Winds and calms to arrival as above. In beating up thft harbor, when off Rhodes* Bay, the barque

missed stays, and stuck on the mud for a short time. We need hardly say that she experienced not the least damage in consequence, being hedged off easily. The fore-and-aft schooner ElizUbeth, J. Goodman, master, arrived in harbour on Saturday morning, timber laden, from the Thames. Her master, reports having sailed on June Ist with light breeze from S.W. had steady S- and W. winds until off Cape Palliser on the 7th, when she hove to lor 24 hours, as there was a gale from the southward, from thence S E and E. winds up to arrival. She brings a cargo of white pine timber and cement, consigned to Mr J. B. Way. SAILING OF THE SHIPS COUNTESS OF KINTORE AND WAIPA. These two ships sailed for London on Saturday. When day broke there was a light S.W. breeze, and at 8 a.m. Pilot Reed went on board the Countess, and'got her under weigh, and at nine she had cleared the Heads, and was bowling away before a freshening breeze. This smart little vessel has had quick despatch ; it is only six weeks since she arrived, and as we all kuow’she was placed in quarantine for s ime time. Her cargo, though not a very valuable one, consisting as it does entirely of wheat, was shipped in splendid order, and wc hope the run home will be a rapid one, proving remunerative both to owners and shippers. Since the Ist May about 120,000 sacks of grain, exclusive of fljfrur, have been shipped from Lyttelton, proving 'We great dimensions our trade in cereals lias now Jnssumed. The Waipa was to have gonc_ immediately on the arrival of the 9 a.m. train from .Christchurch, but was detained owing to the nonavrival of the Hawea from the North, that steamer bringing gold and passengers for her from Auckland! As it was nearly one before the steamer was moored, and there was some delay in getting the passengers’ luggage out of the hold, it was nearly 3 p.m. before the Waipa hove short and canted, Pilot Reed, having returned from the Countess, had her in charge. Though everything was not properly stowed on deck, and the confusion inseparable from the sailing of a large ship prevailed to a certain extent, yet every possible provision seemed to have been made for the comfort of her passengers. The stock was abundant and in good order, and the accommodation for second and third class passengers very good. Instead of a stifling hole between decks, with little light and air and less comfort, these passengers occupied houses on deck intended for the use of the officers, admirably ventilated and easily cleaned. The saloon of course is comfortable and well fitted, like that of all the company’s now ships. The Waipa carries a doctor, and her oiliccrs are all experienced and able men. The captain, who Mas been indisposed for some time, i- fast recovering, and till lie does there are plenty to take charge of the ship, even the third officer being an old mastir. The Akaroa, s.s, attended the ship during her run down the harbor, although, owing to the S.W. breeze, she was not required for towing. Friends of the passengers, officers of the company, and reporters stoppe d aboard till the ship w;as abreast of Camp Bay, when they went off to the Akaroa in a boat. The Akaroa steamed round the ship, and hearty cheers were exchanged. At 4 p.m. (he Waipa was clear of the Heads and soon ran out of sight before an increasing breeze.
