By files to hand by the mail, we notice that the time of sailing of the brig Clematis from Hobart Town for this port had beeu altered to the 17th ult. She arrived at Hobart Town from Melbourne on the 11th. , . , The schooner Tullochgorum hence, arrived at Adelaide on July 13th. The fore-and-aft schooner Kaikoura, Captain Anderson, left Kaikoura on Saturday morning with light S.W. winds. On Sunday, at 4a m. the wind changed to N.E. which lasted till arrival early yesterday morning. , , The s.s. Ladybird sailed at 5 p.m. yesterday on her return trip southward, after having taken on hoard 40 tons of cargo. . • ■*The smart ketch Clematis, Captain Clark, put Into port yesterday morning to repair her mainsail, which was split off Napier on July 19th. Sheleft Auckland on July 13th, the wind blowing hard from the S,E., and increasing to a gale off East Cape <m July 15th, where the vessel anchored for two days, thence variable winds accompanied with squalls and rain throughout. She is bound for Timaru with a cargo of timber. The steam-tug Titan that has been purchased by Messrs Cameron Bros, of Lyttelton, left Hokitika on Sunday, under the charge of Mr John Cameron, and went into Greymouth to coal same tide; she left last night for this port. The enterprise shown by Messrs Cameron Bros in purchasing this tug is much to be commended, and there is little doubt" that she will prove of real benefit to Lyttelton, guch a vessel having been long needed here. Messrs Cameron Bros s.s. Moa has been purchased by Capt Mclntyre of Wellington, for use at that port. She is now on Mr Loutit’s slip being cleaned and painted, and comes off to-day, when she will load a cargofor Wellington. We hope this useful boat will prove as serviceable in Wellington as she has been here, and that Capt Mclntyre’s speculation will prove a financial success. The brigantine Flirt, Capt McKenzie, left Auckland on July 19th with a S.E. wind, which lasted till off East Cape, and then experienced northerly winds as tar as Portland Island, which was sighted on July 2ist; on the same night passed Cape Palliser, when it blew a gale from the S. W.; experienced northerly winds on Saturday, the 22ud, which lasted until arrival early yesterday morning, r- The J. G. Coleson arrived at Wanganui from this port on Sunday. The s.s. Taupo, Capt Worsp, arrived at Lyttelton at 7 a.m yesterday morniug. Mr Pousouby, her purser, reports that she left the Rattray street wharf, Dunedin, on Saturday at 4 p.m, and steamed to Port Chalmers without touching; alter taking on board the Arawata’s Melbourne mail the Taupo left Port Chalmers at 11 a.m on Saturday, and arrived as above, coming up tinder easy steam, the weather being fine. The Taupo was moored at No 2 wharf, and having discharged 20 tons cargo and loaded 40, sailed for north at 3 45 p.m yesterday. The Dunedin people held high jubilee on the occasion of the Taupo’s reaching Dunedin for the first time this trip, and she loaded 1-10 tons of eargo there for northern ports.
