The barquentine Prince Alfred, Captain Schenkel, reports leaving Kaipara on Tuesday, the Bth, at 1 30 p.m, with a strong westerly breeze, thick weather, and rain; passed Cape Egmont on the 9th at 4 p.m, and the Brothers on the 10th at 9 a.m; thence had light northerly winds, passing Cape Campbell same day at 6 p.m, and the Kaikoras on the Hth at 8 a.m; a strong westerly breeze sprang up at noon that day, veering round to S.E, the Heads being sighted at 10.30 a.m same morning; on Saturday a S.W. breeze sprang up. and ;the Prince Alfred beat up the harbor, anchoring at 6 p.m on Saturday. The Prince Alfred has made the round trip in thirty days ; very good time, particularly at this season of the year. The Enterprise brigantine, from Kaipara for this port, left same day, and was in company with Prince Alfred off the Kalkouras on Friday night. The ketch Emerald, Captain Whitby, from Poverty Bay, arrived at 3 30 p.m on Saturday. Reports being towed out by the s.s Jane Douglas at 5 p.m on Thursday, August 3rd. The Emerald drawing six inches more we ter than was on the bar, it took an hour to get her clear, after a good thumping. Made sail and stood her course at 10 p.m, and passed Table Cape at midnight. Had to close reef, the wind blowing hard from the W.S.W, and at 6 a.m on 4th wore ship and hauled in for the land, but could not fetch Table Cape, so stood in for Toung Nick’s Head, and came to anchor at 7 p m. At midnight the sea was nearly breaking, so had to weigh anchor and stood to sea, the wind being south. At 3 a.m on the sth had to heave to, as it was blowing a gale ; at 8 a.m bore up and ran to leeward of the Ariel rocks; at 10 a.m hove to again. On Sunday, 6th, at noon, the gale broke, and sighted the land, Tolago Bay bearing west fifteen miles. Monday, ?th, there was a fair wind, and on Tuesday, at 8 a.m passed Table Cape again, and had variable winds to Cape Palliser, when at noon on Wednesday it came on to blow a gale from W.N.W. At 3 p.m, while the vessel was lying to, the staysail split, so was obliged to keep her before it on a south course. By noon was 140 miles E.N E. from Lyttelton. The wind then changed to N.W, and at noon on the 11th was fifteen miles oil' the LongLeok Out, when the wind shifted to south. Anchored at the heads at 10 p.m same day, and arrived as above. The Union Go’s s.s Taupo arrived on Saturday from Port Chalmers, at 10.30 a m. Left Port Chalmers at 3 30 p.m on Friday, and had line weather up the coast. Was berthed at the Gladstone Pier, and took in over 100 tons of cargo, sailing for Northern ports at 10 p.m on Saturday. We have to thank Mr Ponsonby, the purser, for files and report. The s.s Albion, Captain Clarke, took in 400 tons of cargo at the Gladstone Pier on Saturday, and ■ailed for Wellington at 7 p.m. She made the run in about 14i hours, arriving at Port Nicholson at 9.30 a.m yesterday. The barque Adelphoi, Captain Gregory, ! left Newcastle on the Ist August with fine easterly weather, which continued till the 4th, when it went round to the northward, after which bad westerly winds to arrival. Made Cape Farewell on Wednesday night last, and on Friday morning was •ff the Heads, when a calm was experienced for twelve hours. On Saturday morning a sou’-west wind sprang up, against which the vessel beat into harbor, anchoring off the breakwater at 4 p.m. same day.

9th, when it changed to S.W.; passed the Nuggets at Bpm. on the 10th. The wind then fell calm for six hours, when it freshened again from the S.W; passed Cape Saunders at 8 a.m. on August 10th, sighted Banks’ Peninsula at midnight on Friday, and was off the Heads at daylight next day. Beat up the harbor and anchored off the breakwater at sp.m, on Saturday, having thus made a smart pas»age of nine days. ~ . „ Messrs F. Fulton and Co’s steamer liiasby, Captain Kennedy, came into Port Chalmers on the 7th at 8 a-m, her late arrival b ing due to detention on the coast through the late heavy weather. She has made the round trip to Newcastle, Sydney, via Coast porta, in two days over the month, and considering that she had to contend against heavy weather throughout the return passage and from Sydney, she has done well. The Easby left Port Chalmers on the evening of the sth ult, called at Timaru and Lyttelton, and arrived at Wellington on the morning of the Bth ; discharged and shipped cargo, and left for Newcastle at 10.30 p.m the same day, had moderate weather across the middle ground, and arrived on the afternoon ot the 14th, after a good run of iive days fourteen hours, and fetched the port just in time to escape a heavy easterly gale which came on as she passed through the Heads. Transhipped cargo for Sydney to one of the coasting steamers, and then hauled under the crane and commenced to load on the 18th, but the work being much hindered by the heavy sea rolling Into the harbor and causing her to range at the wharf, sne did not fill up until the 20th, and then left for Sydney at 7 a.m. She barely cleared the Heads when a heavy southerly gale set in, and held until her arrival at Sydney at 9 a.ranext day, the distance, 60 miles, having occupied twenty-six hours In the traversing. Shipped a quantity of general cargo, and left at 6.30 p.m on the 21th; experienced strong unsettled easterly weather and a heavy sea coming across, and arrived at Wellington at 3 ain on the Ist instant. Transhipped Lyttelton cargo to the Hawea, discharged 200 tons of coal and a quantity of general cargo, and left for Port Chalmers at 11.30 a.m on the 2nd, but when between the Heads was met by a heavy southerly gale and tremendous sea, and so to avoid it, turned aside and anchored off the Pilot Station. 1 eft again at 7 a.m next day, had fine weather and moderate winds, with heavy S.E. swell to Bank’s Peninsula, and then, shortly after passing Akaroa, at 8.30 a.m on the 4th, was muzzled by a tremendous southerly gale, and after steaming against it until noon, she bore up for Akaroa, and anchored. How heavy the gale was may be inferred from the fact of Captain Kennedy, who went on shore to send a telegram to Dunedin, bein°- unable to get on board the steamer again until”next day. The gale moderated on Saturday night, and next morning the Easby left at daybreak, experienced calm weather, with heavy S.E. swell, along the coast, and arrived as above. We thank Captain Kennedy for the report, and lor sending on our Sydney exchanges by the Ringarooma. Left Port Chalmers at 6 p.m Thursday, arrived at Timaru at 9.30 a.m. on Friday, and took in 70 tons cargo, left again at 8 p.m. and arrived in Lyttelton and was berthed at the Gladstone Pier at 9.15 a.m on Saturday—took in 100 tons cargo, and sailed for Wellington at 8 a.m yesterday.
