The repairs to the schooner Zior are being pushed on as rapidly as possible, and, should the weather keep fine the vessel will be ready for sea at the latter end of next week. The Awaroa arrived from Wanganui this morning after a quick passage across. She left there at 1 a.m. yesterday, and with a good westerly wind soo i. ran across the ; Straits. The Awaroa was off Wakapuaka Bluffs at dusk yesterday, but was unable to make the harbor until this morning. The s.s.

Experienced light and variable ■winds and fine weather along tbe coast. On her present trip the Ringarooma had a tremendous batch of cargo for New Zealand, over 600 tons being put on board of her at Melbourne. Having such a heavy cargo to land, it necessarily took up a large portion of the steamer's time on the coast. The JSingarooma is now rigged as a topsail acbooner, yards having been placed across the masts while in Melbourne last trip. She sails for South and Melbourne at midnight.
