She was the bearer of the Hawke's Bay portion of the English Jjjne Mail. The Ashley steamed for Auckland at noon on Saturday, and may be txpected to return to Napier about this day week.

We have to thank the providore of the Rangatira for files to date of sailing. The Rangatira steams for Wellington and the Southern Ports this day. Latest Auckland Shipping;. The s.s. Star of the South, hence at 6 p.m. on the 7th inst., arrived at Auckland at 5 a.m. on the 10th, having experienced very heavy weather on the passage. After discharging, was placed on the North Shore slip for the purpose of being cleaned. She was to leave for Napier to-morrow. The barque John Banfield, from London, arrived at Auckland on the 11th inst.

Miscellaneous. The s.s. Wellington, from Wellington, Lyttelton, and Dunedin, due here to-morrow (Tuesday) will steam for Auckland shortly after arrival. As unpleasant rumors have been afloat during the last lew days respecting tho cutter Mahia, we are happy to state that she was safe in the Wairoa river on Friday last-r-waiting only for a chance to get to sea. The ketch Angelina, for Pelorns Sound in ballast, took her departure on Thurday last. The Wellington Independent of Thnrsday last says that the operations for raising the wreck of the s.s. Taranaki appear to be progressing most satisfactorily, and we may now reasonably expect to see her churning our waters once more. News received from Picton yesterday afternoon states that three lifts had been made successfully, and that the mast head is now eighteen inches above low water. The bank is described as very abrupt, but the ship is lifting easily. Messrs Hall launched at Aberdeen on May 15 a very finely modelled iron clipper vessel named the May Queen, intended for the trade between London and New Zealand. This ship has been built for Aberdeen owners. The vessel measures 175 feet in length, 31 feet breadth of beam, and 19 feet depth of hold, and according to builders measurement, she is of 759 tons burden.

Messrs Charles Connel & Co. have launched from their west shipbuilding-yard at Overnewton, Glasgow, a finely-modelled iron clipper ship, named the Zealandia, of 1,205 tons, and classed Al at Lloyd's. She is owned by Messrs Shaw, Saville, & Co., of Londoc, and is intended fqr their London and New Zealand line of packets.

Six steam-boats lying at the wharf in Cincinnati were destroyed by fire on the 12th May. The fire originated in the upsetting of a coal-oil lamp on the steamer Clifton, and 14 kegs of gunpowder on the Cheyenne having exploded, the flames were driven to the remaining boats. It is reported that several lives were lost. The total loss is 235,000 dollars.

I Upwards of twelve vessels were ashore at Dunjbar on the 16th June. Tour miles of coast were 6trewn with wreck and cargo. Eighteen lives at least are supposed to have been lost. One lost vessel belonged to Montrose, and another to Aber-

The fire on board tha ship Blue Jacket was caused by the spontaneous combustion of flax. The Canova, arrived at Queenstown from Callao on the 12th June, spoke on the 4th May, in lat. 2 N., long. 30 W., the Cabana, from San Francisco to Liverpool, which reported having spoken a Dutch boat that had picked up a boat with seven men belonging to the Blue Jacket 400 miles to the eastward of the Falkland Islands, No mention is made of the 4000 sovereigns which were put in the boat when she left the Blue Jacket. The steamer United Kingdom, from New York to Glasgow, is supposed to be lost. She carried thirty passengers. On the 22nd July there were were, in the port of Newcastle, N.S.W., 21 ships, 33 barques, 10 brigs, and 5 schooners, representing 34,644 tons, all awaiting cargoes, independent of the usual coasters.
