The barqno Slag, which sailed from Kaipara on the 32nd nit. for Timaru, arrived in harbor last night, having rnu in for shelter, and to have her cargo re-stowed. The ss, Arawnta arrived at noon to-day from Melbourne, via South, and the Wakatipn from Sydnev and Wellington, at 1 p.m. Statistics just published of the shipping trade of N w South Wales show an increase of 39,1)04 tons in the to’-nl of British and foreign tonn ige arrived during 1878 over that of 1877 The totals were —in 1878, 730,051 tons, against 000,1-17 in 1877. According to New Zealand shipping statistics onr British and foreign tonnage in 1877 was about 55 per cent of that of Now South Wales for the same year, or 388,508 tons. The ship Darling Downs, about to take her departure fur London, is a fair exemplification of what can oe performed in shipping matters in Port Jacks in. This line vessel arrived from London two mouths ago. She discharged a very Lrge cargo, and is only awaiting fair weather to return home, with one of the largest freights that has over left this port, which includes 6800 bales wool. —“ Sydney Morning Herald.” The exemplification as a specimen of despatch in shipping matters will not he thought remarkable in Now Zealand ports. The time stated, two months, is seldom exceeded by the New Zealand shipping Company in the despatch of its vessels, and it is but a short time ago when one of its home ships wus bnt twenty-two clays discharging and re-loading at this port. Thos s. Eashy, Captain W. Anderson, was to sail from Sydney for Wellington last Friday. Further report of the Marine Board of New South Wales in the matter of the loss of the barque Onward. Isaac Harris, the late master of this vessel, having arrived in Sydney from the Island of Ugo, in the Solomon Group, which he reached in his boat, the Board decided to hold a further inquiry into the circumstances connected with the loss of the vessel. This inquiry resulted in Harris being charged with default, a id called ou to show cause why ids certificate should not be suspended or cancelled. The Board met again on the 37th ult. to adjudicate in the case, and decided, as they were not satisfied as to Harris’s competency to navigate, ou cancelling his master's certificate.
