ARRIVAL OF THE DOLPHIN.

The favorite cutter Dolphin, Captain Schon, left Napier on Tuesday, J uly 23, and arrived off Blackhead the following day; but a strong S.W. wind springing up just as the vessel was about to drop pnchor, Captain Schon deemed it advisable to run Luck and take shelter under Tupgara. Left again pn Thursday, and arrived off Blackhead on Friday morning. Captain Schon found the boat which ivas left there oh her last trip, (as narrated in the Times of the 22nd ult.) still in the same place. Discharged cargo (about 2 tons) with that boat; jiook on board a steam-engine, (the fittings of Which werp brought down on last trip) and left for Napier nt 4 o’clock on Saturday morning, with the boat in tow. Experienced strong head winds throughout, having had. to beat every inch of the way until rounding Cape Kidnapper. The boat, Which is a heavy one, capable of carrying from 5 po 6 tons of cargo, doubtless considerably retarded tbe Dolphin’s progress. Arrived off the port at 4 p.mi, and entered the Iron Pqt immediately. ' ' As will be seen by advertisement, the Dolphin is on the berth for Tjfairga, and will leave again to-morrow (Friday.)

■ ARRIVAL OF THE MONDEWAI. The schooner Mondewai, Captain Harris, arrived ju port from Poverty Bay on Monday last, 25th flit,, having left that place on Saturday. She was pxpected to leave again for Poverty Bay on Tuesey last, but unfavourable weather has prevented rfrqm jailing. We learn that the schooner jJane was loading with horses for this port when she Mondewai left. We cannot help thinking fkey will come to a bad market.
