The Bhip Olonroaa arrived on Saturday from Newcastle, after a passage of sixteen days. The Guy Mannering left Newcastle last Thursday for Lyttelton with a cargo of eoal for Mr 0. W. Turner. The ship Centurion arrived on Saturday evening from Port Chalmers, to load here with grain. She Drought some cement and railway iron for stiffening, part of her original cargo from home.

Hosars Royße. Stead, and Co. and Meaßrs P. Cunningham and Co.'s list of vessels, to load with wheat for the United Kingdom this season, hfu been increased by the addition to it of the Dinapore, 1047 tons. The Union 3.5. Co.'a ateamer Wanaka, which arrived on Friday with the inward mail from the San Francisco mail boat, stayed in Port tra'.il Saturday night when Bhe left for Wellington, Fioton, and Nelson. No loss than three ships were added to the number of vessels in Port on Saturday afternoon and night. Two of them—tho Gareloch, from London, and the Centurion, from Port Chalmers —are consigned to, and will load for the N.Z. Shipping Company. The third—tho Glenrosa, frem Newcastle, with coal—is consigned to Mr C. W. Turner, and loads on his account for tho United Kingdom. The Z Weatherfield, bound to this port, from Algoa Bay, in ballast, to load here on behalf of the New Zealand shipping Company, was spoken on Saturday evening by the a.s. Oreti, eight miles north of Oamaru.

The following coasters have arrived since Friday with cargoes of timber : —The Falcon and Esther, from Pelorus Sound; the Aurora, from Wellington; the Dido, from Waitapu ; Catlin, from Catlin's Kiver ; and the Saucy Kate, from Auckland. The last-named vessel's cargo is part timber and part sashes and doors. Farticulars of their cargoes are given above. The Now Zealand Shipping Company's ship Oruri was towed to sea on Saturday forenoon, the tog boat taking her well clear of Long Look-out Point, w'-ien she set her canvas to a firasb N.E. wind, and sped »way on her voyage to London. Iho names of her passengers appeared in Saturday's issue, with the exception of that of Mr W. W. Charters, who is reported to have taken his leave of Now Zealand by her. Qnita a number of Captain Mosey's friends, with a numb-T of the friends of the passengers, went down the harbor to see her start upon her voyage. The Grecian, Mennock, Centurion, Garoloch, and Ispahan, now in port, are to follow the Orari for the New Zealand Shipping Company. The experiment instituted by the steamer Titan of affording such of the public as are inclined the opportunity to have a day's pleasure by steamer on Sundays was tried for the second time yesterday, tho result being that the boat left on arrival of the first train at Port crowded with passengers for Little Akaloa. The charming weather was greatly in favor of the excursionists. The wotT, looking at it from Lyttelton, appeared to be as still as a mill-pond, though some of the passengers declared on their return in the evening that there were a gsod many " ups and downs " in it when they got out a little way. As the trip is comparatively a short one, that circumstance, it may be pre* aumed, bnt added to the novelty of the outing for a good many on board. From a circular issued by the New Zealand Shipping Company to its branch offices, the following shipping news is taken : —The company expects the arrival of the Matauro, which left London about January 13th for this port; tho Remington, which left about February 12th ; tho Lurline, reported to have left March 10th ; the Opawa, which at date of latest advices was loadiiig; and the Rakaia, which was to follow the Opawa from London for Lyttelton The Helen Denny was loading for the Bluff for the company, and the Waitongi sailed from London for Port Chalmers about March 15th, to be followed by the Araby Maid. The company's ship vVaimeo left London for Wellington about March 21th. The Fareora, Mercia, and Comodre, advertised by the company, are to load at Timaru during the present grain season. THE GAKELOCH. The first of the Bhips due from London, the Garoloch, made the port on Saturday night, anchoring soon after ten o'clock. She brought a large cargo of general merchandise, but no passengers, and comes consigned to the New Zealand Shipping Company, by whom she is advertised in the list of vessels to load here with grain for London. The passage of the Gareloch from port to port occupied 111! days, a uaseage not so remarkable for its lengthjas for the disproportionate divisions of the time compared with the distances travelled. The voyage was entered upon on the 24th of December, and it wan March tho 4th before the ship crossed the meridian of the Capo of Good Hope, then being out seventy days. Thirty-eight days were spent north of the Equator, crossed February Ist, in 30 W., little but head winds having been experienced from leaving Start Point to sighting the Canary Inlands, and only six days of north-east winds, extremely light, through the trade belt. Between the Equator and the Cape, thirty-two days wore spent, S.E. tra-les being carried to 23 S 33.5 W., and light variable weather from thence to getting the westerlies off the Cape in 41 S. Once in the westerlies the voyage was rapidly shortened. On March 21th, twenty days from tho C ipe the Leuwin meridian was crossed in 49 30 S., and twelve days later the Snares wero sighted, thirty-two days from the Cape. The remaining four days were put in on the coast, tho weather being fino and the winds light and northerly. When running down the casting, date March 19th, position 47.19 S., 90.28 E., the ship at the time being under two lower topsails, and reefed foresail, she was pooped by a tremendous wave. It was about 8 am. when the sea broke ovor the taffroil. Two men were at the wheel, and they were bodily carried to the brink of the poop, whore one of them was jammed hard and fast between the hencoops, receiving some damage to his ribs, tho other escaped with one or two bruises. The wheel was smashed into small pieces, and the sea similarly treated the binnacle, skylight, companionway, and every other obstacle which fell in its path from the poop to the main deck. The main deck was filled, and everything movable about it carried about indiscriminately, including the second mate and the quartermaster. '1 he second mate osoaped miraculously enough unhurt, but the other seaman was carried forward and dashed pretty heavily against the forecastle, receiving in bin passage a nasty cnt across hia upppr lip. The ship was immediately put on the port tack, »nd, after twelve hours steady work, a temporary wheel was built, which did duty for tho remainder of the voyage. Tho entry of the vessel will bo mndo at the Customs this morning by her agents, duo notice of which is given to shippers in another colnuin. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS. Well/Inqton, April 11.
