SHIPPING.

Since our last there has been but one arrival, the cutter Mahia, put back, we presume thiough stress of weather. The departures have been the s.s. St. Hilda, for Wellington; the cutter Mahia, for the Coast; and the schooners Success and Kauri, for Auckland. The Mahia canie in again yesterday. The weather has been beautifully fine, and although we have had some rain, not sufficient has fallen to be of any material service. Considering, however, that the moon will be full to-morrow) we may expect a change ere many days. Since the above was written, the s.s. Queen has arrived from Auckland—dropping anchor in the roadstead about 11 o’clock last evening. EXPECTED AEEIV4LS. Eclipse, brigantine, from Auckland (Manukau) Herald of Light, barque, from Melbourne, via Otago Lord Ashley, s.s., from Auckland—6th Maggie, brig, from Newcastle Rangatira, s.s., from Wellington—sth Strathallan, barque, from London Sunbeam, barque, from London via Auckland VESSELS. IN HAEBOE. Betsy, cutter, from Auckland Henry, from Poverty Bay—repairing Lady Bird, schooner, from Wairoa Queen, s.s., from Auckland f_ MARITIME NOTES. Fob several months past our readers will no doubt have seen, among the list of vessels in harbor, the name of the schooner Henry. We understand that she is the property of certain aboriginal natiws at Poverty Bay, who, no doubt, would be glad to part with her for a consideration. Could not some' of our enterprising fellew-towns-men manage to obtain possession of her? She is a good roomy fore-and-aft schooner, of about 40 tons; and has be'eii“a good sea-boat; and with a slight repairing would no doubt be a good one kgain. As she now lies, she is an eye-sore to the ’port. '■ :i - Quick Pabsageof the s.s. Rangitoto, from Sydney and Hokitiea.— The P.N.Z. A A.R.M. Company’s s.s. Bangitoto arrived here on Tuesday morning last, from Sydney via Hokitika. She left Syoney Heads at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, 10th Oct. and experienced fine south west weather throughput thp passage. Arrived pff Hokitika at 8 p.m.

on the night of the 14tb inst., after a splended run of four days two hours. It is said that had Tier destination been Nelson instead of Hokitika, sbe would have accomplished it in one ortsvo hours - under four days. She had 202 passengers for Hokitika on board, but finding*. that there was no prospect of being able to land them, at 6 a.m. on 16th she came on to Nelson, arriving as above. She left again on Wednesday morning for Hoki;tika. —Nelson Colonist, October, 20. Shipping at the G-eev. —As the Wallaby was leaving the Grey several sailing crafts got .over .the bar safely, all outward bound. The first was the Falcon, bound to Hokitika, with.coal; the second,was the Flying Cloud; nest followed the Queen and Supply, both bound to Nejson ; the last and most unfortunate being the schooner Joanna, of Wellington, which got ashore on the South Spit, but not in a dangerous place,, and would most likely.be got off the next tide. The steamer Eleanor, arrived from Hokitika the same morning. The Lyttelton had preceded the,Wallaby in her departure.—Nelson Examiner, Oct. 21.

Steam-tug Lioness.— This powerful steam-tug arrived at Hokitika from Melbourne on the 14th instant. She is fitted with two disconnecting engines of 30 horse-power each, and can turn in nearly her own length. This renders her well suited for the Hokitika service.—lbid. Weeck op the Inveecatod. —A Melbourne telegram in the Sydney Morning Herald of the 13th October says;—Yia England there is news of the wreck of Invercauld, from Melbourne to Callao, on Auckland Island, 10th May.

Captain Dalgargo, Smith (officer), and one seaman were ultimately rescued by a Portuguess vessel, and landed at Callao.
