The p.s. Comerang, Captain Thpmas Chrisp, left Auckland at 7 a.m. on the 7th inst,, and encountered strong easterly wind with heavy head sea, in consequence of which, bore up for Port Charles,

where she dropped anchor at 4 p.m. the same day. Resumed her voyage at 4 a.m. on the Bth, and experienced strong easterly wind across the Bay of Plenty, Was off Cape Runaway at 6 a.m. on the 9th, when a heavy E.N.E. sprang up, compelling the little craft again to seek shelter—this time in Wangaparawa roads-r-wherfi she remained until the gale moderated, at 4 p.m. on the 10th. Proceeded on the passage at that hour, and rounded the East Cape at 9 p.m. Arrived at Poverty Bay at 7 a.m. on the 11th. Disembarked and embarked passengers—among the former beiug Archdeacon Williams—and left Poverty Bay at 11 a.m. Experienced very heavy easterly weather down the coast, and arrived here at midnigh: on Sunday last, 11th inst. Reports having sighted the s.s. Keera off Mahia at 3 p.m. on Sunday.—The Comerang left again for Auckland about 9 p.m. on Monday, with a cargo of live stock. The schooner Queen, Veale, master, left Auckland on the 31st August, with S.W. wind, and arrived at Mercury Bay on the Ist inst. Commenced loading on the 3rd, finished on the 7th, and left for Napier on the 10th, at 10 p.m., with light N.W. wind; rounded the East Cape at 4< a.m. on the i2th; Portland Island at 10 o'clock the same night; and arrived here at 9 a.m. on the 13th (Tuesday), having made a capital run of 59 hours from Mercury Bay. She brings a cargo of sawn timber for Mr LeQuesne. The schooner Saucy Lass sailed for Lyttelton, in ballast, on Tuesday last.

The schooner Muriwai sailed henee for Poverty Bay at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, with cargo as per exports. The schooner Onehungi took her departure at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, for Auckland, with a cargo of wool, flax, oil, and preserved meat, for transhipment to the ship Argyleshire. The Onehunga may, we believe, be expected to return to this port. The schooners Hero and Three Brothers will both probably leave for Wairoa to-day should the weather prove favorable. The Colonial Government p.s. Luna, Captain Fairchild, may be expected to arrjve here from Wellington in a day or two. The ship Aboukir, from London, arrived at Auckland on the 6th inst., after a passage of 98 days. Tli is vessel has on board a quantity of cargo for Napier. The s.s. Auckland an'd the s.s. City of Melbourne —both from Sydney—arrived at Auckland on the 6th insr,

The Auckland papers say that further wharf accommodation is much needed in consequence of the immense increase of shipping to that port. The ribbon and clasp of the Royal Humane Society of England has been presented to Mr Beveridge, Harbor-master at Hokianga, for repeated acts of bravery in saving lives of drowning per-

A. wharf, we are told, is being rapidly erected at Taurauga. All masters of vessels trading to Maketa are requested by the Government to lower the topmasts of their vessels before entering Maketu river, to prevent any damage being done to the telegraph

A race has taken place between tue steamers John Penn and Charles Edward, from Nelson to VVanganui. The Penn left one hour and ten minutes after the Charles Edward (whicli had a hundred tons of cargo on board,) and arrived at the Wanganui bar, a distance of US miles, ten minutes before her rival, thus beating her by an hour and twenty minutes. The Tarauaki Herald, September 3, says:—" On Monday afternoon, after the Phoebe had her anchor up, the surf boat proceeded to her to take the mail on board, and, as it was blowing a stiff southeasterly gale out where the Pheebe lay, the coxswain of the boat asked Capt. Worsp to tow him a short distance in, so as to be out of the force of the gale, but this, we understand, was refused, and the boat was cast adrift to get ashore as best it could. It was painful to those on shore to see the men trying their utmost to row against the wind, which was gradually taking them out to sea, notwithstanding all their efforts. The HarborMaster, at the time, was ou board the s.s. Tarauaki, and seeing, the position the men were in, asked the captain to go to the boat's assistance. Capt. Wheeler, without a murmur, ordered the anchor to be raised, and went after the boat, and towed her to the iuuer buoy. The boat, being now out of the force of the wind, was easily brought ashore,

• Seamen are now forbidden to carry knives or any other weapon on their persons while on shore in Melbourne, under a penalty of £2O. A London telegram of sth August says : —" Mr Ashbury's yacht Cambria arrived at New York on the 27th July,' winning the ocean yacht race against the Dauntless by one hour." A Galle telegram of 9th August says :—«" The barque Karnakj with a cargo of bone dust from Melbourne, was totally consumed by fire in Colombo Roads two days after her arrival. The cargo heated cm the voyage." Some indication of the violence of a late gale in the North Sea is conveyed by the statement that two Leitli steamers, which left German ports with large deck cargoes of sheep, had about 1000 head of stock washed from their decks.
