Arrival of the Wellington. The s.s. Wellington, Captain Holmes, left Port Chalmers at 4.30 p.m. on 26th June, and arrived at Lyttelton at 11.30 a.m, on the 27th, having experienced fine weather on the passage ; left Lyttelton, at 5 p.m. on the 28th, and arrived at Wei lingtou at 8.30 a.m on the 29th ; left at 3.30 p.m. on the 30t!i. Had strong S.W. wind, wifii rain, on the passage, and arrived here at 9.30 a.m. on Thursday last, Ist July, having made the run from Wellington in IS hours. The Wellington steamed for Auckland at 3 p.m. on Thursday last.

The Colonial Government; steamer St. Kilda. The s.s. St. Kildn, Captain G. Fox, left Napier at 3 a.m. on the 26th June, for Wellington (after having landed her stores at Wairoa, and bringing up to Napier tor service up-country.) Experienced N.E. winds all the way, arriving in Wellington at 6 a.m. on the 27th (Sunday.) On the 28th coaled ship in readiness to start for Napier. On the 29th took on board 250,000 rounds of ball cartridge, clothing, blankets, &c, for the use of the Colonial forces; and steamed for Napier at 9.30 p.m. Encountered strong northerly winds throughout the passage, and arrived in the roadstead at 2 a.m. on the }.st July ; entered the Jron Pot at 10.30 a.m., and commenced discharging ammunition, &c.; she also landed the Armstrong gun and shells that have been on board some time for service at Wairoa. She left for Wairoa at 11.15 a.m. on the 3rd inst., having on hoard a quantity of stores ; Mr Ormond, General Government Agent, was a passenger. Experienced light variable winds with heavy southerly swell. Arrived off the bar at 4 a.m. The sea breaking two miles off, could not land, and communicated by signals until dark, when she returned to Napier, arriving in the roadstead at 10 p.m. Entered the Iron Pot at 11 a.m. yesterday. She will load more stores, and will steam for Wairoa as soon as the weather changes. The St. Kilda's new boat, lately built to order by Messrs. Days and Bristow, had a chance of showing her good qualities when landing stores at Wairoa on the St. Kilda's trip before last, Her dimensions are—Length, 28 feet over all; beam, 0 feet fi inches; depth, 2 feet 3 inches. She is a light, strong, and well-finished boat, behaves well in the surf, is admirably fitted for beaching purposes (for which she was expressly built), aud altogether reflects great credit upon her enterprising builders ; —this assertion being borne out by the testimony of many nautical gentlemen. We learn from Captain Pox that the native boats' crews at Wairoa all vied with each other who should man her. She looked so likely they were delighted with her good qualities, and expressed their admiration.

Arrival of the Eangatira. Tite s.s. Eangatira, Captain Renner, left Napier at 7 a.m. on the 26th June ; arrived at Poverty Bay at 7 p.m. the same day ; landed Capt. Heale, Mr Locke, and 9 natives ; proceeded on her passage, and ronnJed the East Cape at 5 a.m. on the 27th ; from thence experienced strong N.E. wind, with heavy sea and thick weather, and ai rived at Auckland early on the morniug of the 28th. L?.ft ■Auckland on the Ist July, at 3.30 p.m. Bounded the East Cape at 8.30 p.m. on the 2nd ; put in to Wangawebi for shelter at 11 p.m. on the 3rd ; left Wangawehi at 8 a.m. on the 4th (yesterday), and arrived in the roadstead at 10.30 a.m. Strong W. and S.W. winds throughout the passage. Did not sight any vessels on the way down. S:w brought about "10 tons general cargo for tin's port and several passengers. The Eangatira steamed for Wellington at 5 p.m. yesterday, conveying the outward English Mail.

Miscellaneous. The ketch Wild Duck sailed for Auckland early on Priday last, with a cargo of wool, tallow, &c. The p.s. Sturt steamed for Matata on Thursday last, with a number of sheep for the use of the forces at the Front. The schooner. Muriwai sailed for Wairoa yesterday, with a general cargo. S. and S.W. winds have prevailed since our last; and yesterday was, we believe, the coldest day we have had this winter. Auckland Shipping. [FROM OUR O.WX CORRESPONDENT.] Ist July, 1869. Auckland, on the 28th ult., was visited by a heavy E.N.E. gale, which, but for the shelter for which this excellent harbor is so remarkable, might have resulted in serious damage to a large number of vessels. I have said the gale was E. N .E., but during the day it veered round, and by 5 p.m. it was blowing from the westward with great violence. Heavy rain-squalls prevailed throughout the day. The damage done to shipping was comparatively slight. The ship Percy took her departure for London yesterday morning with a full cargo of wool, flax, gum, cotton, valued at £30,000. She has also on board upwards of 15,000 ounces of Thames gold (valued at £41,000), and about 30 saloon and steerage passengers. The s.s. Lord Ashley will be laid up for about a fortnight for repairs to machinery, &c. She experienced fearful weather on her last trip from Napier to Auckland. The s.s. Star of the South, now hourly looked for, will be the next vessel for your port. No less than three vessels have been laid on for London, but I can scarcely imagine that there is sufficient stuff coming in to load them all. The Kate Waters is advertised to leave on the Ist of August, and will no doubt get away on her advertised day. The Mary Shepherd and Lancastna are announced to follow.
