The Tasso finished discharging timber into the Uno yesterday. She took in a quantity of potatoes to-day, and a further shipment is expected from Motueka by the Lady Barkly this evening. The Tasso will probably sail for Newcastle to-morrow. The reported arrival of the Awaroa from Wanganui yesterday proved to be an illusion. The telegram received by her owner stated that she leffc Wanganui yesterday morning, but she could not have crossed the bar that day' or else with the winds which have been prevailing she would have shown up ere this. Yesterday we mentioned the liberality of Captain Gaster in giving liberty to tbe crew of his vessel. In return for the kindness shown them three of the sailors have been so ungrateful as not to return on board, and it is very doubtful whether they intend doing so. A diligent search is being made for the runawa3 r s, but hitherto without success. The Union Company's Wakatipu has been chartered for the conveyance of Messrs Cooper & Bailey's circus and menagerie from Dunedin to Auckland. She will leave the former port on April Bth, Lyttelton on the 10th, Wellington on the 17th, arriving at Auckland on the 20th, where the menagerie will be put on board the ship Sea Bell, which will convey it to San Francisco.
