The C.S.S.N. Oq.'s s.s. Lord Ashley, Captain Andrews, left Auckland at 2.30 p.m. on Saturday, July 23, and passed Cape Colville at 7 30 p.m. Experienced northerly wind with thick weather crossing the Bay of Plenty. Rounded the East Cape at 2.30 p.m. on Sunday, and had S.W. wind with thick weather from thence till arrival in Ahuriri roadstead at 9.15 a.m. on Monday. At 2.3 Q p.m. the same day the Ashley steamed for Wellington and Southern Ports, with 12 casks tallow, 5 casks and 1 case meat, 6 hales wool, and sundry other cargo. She arrived at Wellington at 5.15 p.m. on Tuesday. The brig Maggie, Captain R.

H. Yantier; 11 boxes oranges, order. The Maggie left Napier on the evening of the Gth June, and experienced, light southerly winds up to the Bth $ the wind then went round to the N.E., blowing hard, with thick and rainy weather; this lasted for four days, when the wind again veered to the southward; passed through Cook's Straits on the 12th, and cleared the land on the 14th, with flue weather. Strong southerly winds were then experienced until the 24th, on which day she made land off Port Stephens. The wind then came in from N.W. Arrived at Newcastle on the 25th ; discharged cargo and ballast, and took on boerd a cargo of coals, leaving for Napier on the 2nd July. Experienced strong southerly winds for the most part of the passage. Made Cape Farewell pn the 12th, and passed through Cook's Straits with a southerly wind. On the 17th, carried away the truss of the rnainyard, and went into Charlotte's Sound to repair damages. Left again on the 18th.. Had light variable winds till Cape Palliscr, which was rounded qu the 24th.,

I From thence to port fresh southerly winds; went round Cape Kidnapper at noon on the 25th (Tuesday last), arriving in the roadstead as above.— The Maggie is still riding at anchor in the Bay and will be brought inside as soon as she has been sufficiently lightened. The brigantine Esther, Capt. James Campbell, left Wellington on Tuesday, July 19, with fresh S.E. wind. Rounded Cape Palliser at 5 a.m. on Thursday. At 7 p.m. the same day the wind shifted to N.E., blowing fresh. At *8 a.m. on Sunday, came to anchor off Castle Point. At 10 p.m., the wind veered to S.W.

Keera steamed for Auckland at G p.m. on Tuesday, with 54- head cattle and 337 sheep. The schooner Strathnaver sailed for Port Cooper in ballast on Tuesday night. The cutter Maud leaves for Auckland this morning with 40 tons sharps. The p.s. Comerang, from Auckland, may be looked for about Saturday next. . The ketch Why Not is, we believe, again on the berth for Wairoa. Prom our English files we learn that the enquiry into the loss of the Normandy has terminated. In giving judgment, the Court found the Normandy solely to blame for the dangerous collision. The gronnd on which this decision was come to was that, contrary to the regulations for preventing collisions at sea, the Normandy was not slowed after entering the fog. The Court laid no stress on the allegation that the Mary did not show a masthead light, it being equally the duty of the other steamer, whether the Mary were a steamer or a sailing ship, to keep out of her way. Captain Stranack's certificate was therefore returned to him. The Court was of opinion that more lives might have been saved but for the irresolute conduct of the second mate. No valid I reason had been given for his returning to his own ship after he had been ordered to proceed to the Normandy.
