G, Coleson has left Wellington for this Opawa was working till nearly midnight on Saturday discharging her coals. Everything is going well, and as her discharge and loading are going on simultaneously there is no doubt that, owing to the energy shown by the New Zealand Shipping Company, their handsome new vessel will be ready to sail on Saturday next, her advertised date. , . , r .

The long passage was entirely owing to the prevalancc of southerly weather throughout the whole trip. CLEARANCE AND SAILING OF THE MAY QUEEN. This handsome little ship sailed from our port yesterday with a full cargo of our great staples—wool and wheat- It being the end of the wool season there has been some little delay in filling her up, but in spite of this we hope that the May Queen’s first visit here has proved a profitable one. Notwithstanding her handsome saloon, with its great conveniences, she takes no passengers this time, but no doubt if she pays another visit to our port will bo more fortunate in this respect. The ship cleared on Saturday morning, and was towed out into the stream by the s.s. Akaroa. We append an approximate estimate of the value of her cargo : — 3403 sacks wheat 3400 2-5 casks tallow ... ■_ _ 1960 1916 bales of wool and skins ... 38,920 656 pockets wool 3280 6 cases, 2 bags, 29 sacks ... 1 (, 9 £46,109 The pilot went aboard early yesterday morning, and about 9.30 a.m, there being then alight air from the sou’ west, and the tide ebbing, sail was got on the ship and she gradually dropped down clearing the Heads about noon. Her commander, Captain Tatchell, so well known both at Dunedin and the Bluff, has made a most favorable impression hero on this bis first visit, and we wish him a quick run home and speedy return. THE MANGERTON. The report yesterday was that the invalid was fast gaining strength, and no doubt in a day or so, proper precautions having been taken by thoroughly fumigating the vessel, &c, the barque will bc/admitted to pratique.
