Esther, for Wellington, to-morrow liero, for Wairoa, when weather permits The s.s. Star of the South, from Auckland, may be expected to arrive in port to-night or to-morrow morning. The s.s. Napier, for Poverty Bay, took her departure at 10.30 this morning, with a general cargo and several passengers, The schooner Saucy Lass sailed hence this afternoon, for Auckland via the coast, with 60 hides, 4 boxes soap, 6 casks beef, and sundry other cargo. The p.s. Nevada arrived at Wellington at 5 o'clock last evening, after a run of 22J hours from this port. The s.s. Bangatira, from this port and Poverty Bay, arrived at Tauranga at 8 o'clock this morning. The schooner Lsetitia may, we learn, be expected to arrive here shortly from Auckland via Mercury Bay with a cargo of timber and shingles consigned to Mr. J. LeQuesne. The Lsetitia, we have reason to believe, is under charge of our old friend Oapt. W. G. Cellem, formerly Pilot at Poit Ahuriri. The work of lengthening and executing sundry other alterations to the steam launch Una is now about to be commenced. As a preparatory step, the boilers were taken out of her to day, and to-morrow, the engines will be removed, and the little craft placed on the hard. We understand that the schooner Alice, recently arrived from Dunedin, is about to be placed in the Hawse's Bay coasting trade. We have not heard to which part of the coast her srst trip will be made, but believe it will be in a southerly direction. The schooner Meteor, from Poverty Bay, arrived at Auckland on the 21st inst., under charge of H.M.'s Customs. The schooner Tawera, from Poverty Bay, arrived at Auckland on the 21st Instant, The brig Edith Haviland and the birgantine Helen, both from Lyttelton, arrived at Auckland on the 21st inst., with cargoes of oats, wheat, flour, &c. The cutter Woodstock, recently reported as having been wrecked at Whakatane, has been successfully launched again by the natives off the rocks where she went ashore. The News of the World, May 23, says :—The steamer Dakota, of Webb's line, which has been thoroughly overhauled and fitted with new engines, &c, at New York, is nearly ready for sea, and will proceed to San Francisco direct early in June. An Iceberg Indicator has been invented by a gentleman in New York, which, if after practical trial proves successful, will be of great use in the mercantile marine. 'Jlhia apparatus is placed on the bottom of the vessel, and is of such a nature that when the keel strikes on any very cold stratum of water an alarm is sounded ; as ft is a well-known fact that icebergs refrigerate the water for a considerable distance around them, this invention may prove of great seryice on dark nights or m foggy weather.

A Sydney telegram to the Argus, dated May 19, reports as follows:—The barque Alice Cameron has arrived dismasted, She picked up the crew of the barque Bengal, coal laden, for Dunedin. The vessel had sprung a leak, and had 1Q feet of water in her hold when abandoned.
