The Larquentine Prince Alfred arrived this morning from Kaipara, whence she sailed with a cargo of timber on the 23rd inst. Agreeably to prediction the schooner Toreahas arrived in time to enter for the approaching regatta. Since her departure from here, ou the 2ud inst., with a general cargo for Kaipara, she has met with an unfortunate accident in Queen Charlotte Sound, bat one that proved less disastrous than was at first supposed. She was then taken thence to Wellington at no small expense, and there put on the slip, overhauled and thoroughly renovated, and is back in harbor looking as well as she did on her first visit, and ready to take her chance in the Champion Sailing Race for 1879. The deputy inspector of machinery, Mr George Croll, was in port yesterday, making the half-yearly examination of the local steamers.

The Hydaspes was to have landed the balance of her inward cargo to-day, but it was found necessary to take in ballast to stiffen the ship. The Eaugitiki is taking in wool, and will he a full ship in a few days, and the Hurnnui is making good headway discharging. The barque John Knox, still in command of Captain Davis, arrived on Thursday night from Sydney, making an excellent passage of ten days.
