A traveller by the Union Company a s.s Jffanapouri yesterday, writes:— "The steamer was within a dozen feet of the jatty at twenty minutes paEt nine o'clock this morning, and we (the passengers) fully hoped to catch the 9.3 a teain for town, which we could readily have done had the captain studied our convenience rather than his own. As it was, he set about turning the vessel round, a work which took him but fifteen or twenty minutes, but which lostui the train, at d deprived me at all eveDti of two hours' chance to do business in the city, by leaving us to walk the wharveß until the 11.20 train left. AU this inconvenience and loss to its patrons could readily be overcome by a general oid.r from the company to its masters. fha Company's s.s Manaponri arrived at 9. 0 a.m. yesterday from Melbourne, via South, nud left for Wellington at 6 30 p.m. The Manaponri, as Bhe was turning in the Yarra b»sinon August 28th, prior to leaving the river, almost into co'li'ion with the is Casino. In backing to avoid the collision, the Manaponri ran into the Sophia, which was considerably damaged, acd made a good deal of water bafore she was docked. The Union Company's steamer Omapere, expected this week at Dunedin from Hobart, has capacity for 650 tons cargo. There is a comfortable salo-ra for twenty persons, and the compartment ia heited by means of percolators from the engine-room. The accommodation in the fore-cabin is sufficient for thirty passengers. She is a nine-knot boat, and her engine power is similar to that of the Mahinapua. The Omapere is in ootnmand of Captain John Orkney, who is well known in NewJZealsnd shipping circles. He was on a visit to Scotland when he was engagad by the Union 88. Company to superintend the fittings of the Omapere, acd bring her out to New Zealand Captain Orkney was fcr four or five years harbormaster at Dunedin. On the vojage out, and when about the meridian of Cape leuwin the steamer fell in with a severe gale from the N. W., in which the port fore-rigying was carried awoy, the mamtopmas 1 : going a short time afterwards- The foremast was secured with chains during the gale. The Min y-don.—Bespecting the portion of a ship's figure-head picked up at the Bluff some weeis Ego, the " Australian Shipping News has the following:—" Min-y-don, ship—The description of the figure-head picked up at the Bluff, which we gave last week, has been identified by the Sydney agents of that vessel as corresponding with that she carried, and it may consequently be assumed that this is a trace of the missi'jg vessel."
