The Tararua arrived at Westporfc at 4 a.m. to-day. The Lady Barkly leaves for Golden Bay at 7 p.m. to-day. The Woodbine hauled alongside the Albion Wharf this morning, and commenced discharging. The Clio arrived at Wellington on Sunday morning, after a good ran of 21 hours from Waitapu. The Taiaroa arrived at Onehunga at 12.25 this morning. She leaves there on the downward trip to-morrow morning. The Pelorus left Harelock for Nelson this morning. She leaves here on the return trip on Thursday. The Zealandia arrived at Auckland from Sydney at 2 a.m. to day, and leaves there •with the outward San Francisco mail this afternoon. The Wellington arrived in harbor this morning at 8.30, having left Picton at 10.30 last night. She experienced fine weather ■with smooth sea throughout the passage. The Wellington returned to Picton and Wellington by the same tide at 1 1 a.m. The oak timbers of H.M.V.S Nelson, which has recently been razeed at Melbourne, have been utilised in a very novel way, a large number of picture frames having been made out of them. These have commanded a high figure. A Dunedin telegram to a contemporary says:— Some singular evidence was given during the prosecution of a Chinese sailor for disobeying the commands of Capt. Firth, of the barque Oeeana, recently arrived from Foochoo. It was alleged for the defeuce that the ship was badly provisioned, her biscuits being weavily, and the meat stinking, and that tbe men had to live on sharks and albatrosses. The Europeau portion of the crew forfeited two months' pay to get clear of the ship on arrival at Port Chalmers. The captain, who is owner of the vessel, admitted owing the defendant two months' wages, which he refused as he could not pay him. The case was dismissed, and it was announced that proceedings would be instituted against the master in another Court. The American sail-boat Nautilus (says the Hm.' l \ew*) i which has been reported near the English coast by different vessels lately arrived, reached the Lizard Point on July 31, but the only safe course to be adopted was putting back into Mount's Bay, and about noon the little craft was run into Nullian Cove. Her length over all is 19ft ; her breadth, 6ft 7in; and her depth, 2ft 3in. She draws 6£in water. At her masthead were flying the American and French flags. The two men, named Andrews, who brought her over, are typical Americans, apparently well educated. The log they have kept of the voyage is well written, and interspersed with many original and quaint remarks. They say they have never been to sea before, but have coasted in fishing-boats. One, the elder, is by trade a pianoforte-maker- and the younger, Walter, a joiner. Their object is to get across to the Paris Exhibition.
