The advent of the new year was celebrated in our port by the several ships makine , a full display of bunting. At Port Chalmers salutes were fired, rockets discharged, and other demonstrations took place. The steamer City of Dunedin, which returned from Northern Ports, on 30th of December, has brought 76 .titeerago passengers, chiefly digsers from Picton and , Hayelock. She left Wellington at midnight on Monday, arrived at Havelock at 8.30 a.m. on Tuesday, sailed *gain at 3 p.m, left Pioton at noon on Wednesday , and iyttelton at 12.30, p.m. on Friday, having fine we-vther 'throughout. From Captain Boj dwe have local journals » of diffeient dates.—Times. The-s.s. Gothenburg sailed from Melbourne at 4 p.m. ■ on Saturday, December 24, and arrived at Port Chalmers at 7.30. -p.m. on January Ist, the passage being . - one of the roughest and most unfavourable which Capt. • Mackie has yet experienced. He encountered a continuance of easterly weather and some heavy gales. During the height of the gale on the 27th, the vessel was hove to " for ten hours, and again on the 29th, for eight hours, off the Solanders." The Government schooner Caroline returned in the morning of 31st December from Oamaru, where shehad been for the purpose of adjusting the moorings. The ship Star of Tasmania, it appears, had been temporarily secured by the buoy chain attached- to the mooring, and not to the moorings proper, and it. was that portion only which gave way, haying necessarily become considerably chafed and worn by contact with the bottom, and the constant motion of the buojfc The real moorings remain intact, and are sufficiently strong and heavy to hold a vessel of considerably larger dimensions than the Star of Tasmania. They consist of two anchors, each of more than two tons weight, and of two strong chains of about a hundred fathoms in length. In the meantime, the Star of Tasmania continues to ride easily and safely at her own anchois.—Daily Times. The steamer Favorite got aground on the banks abreast of the Maori Kaik when about to stait on her return trip with,,the party of excursionists who visited the Maoii settlement on 27th ult. There was some prospect of the party being detained to a late hour, had Capt. Malcolm, of thg steamer _Bni£e,nat.steamed down to her assistance, relieved her -of a.number of her passengeis, and towed hen off. The Celceno is the sixth ship now laid on for a wool freight from this province, and the Lansdowne may be said to be the seventh, though her cargo will be shipped at Bluff Haibor. .Except her, all are now loading. The Star of .Tasmania-and Malay at Oamaru, the Coni- , modore at Moeraki, and the Chile, Gala, and Celaeno at .Port Chalmera. She saOs for the Bluff as soon as her freight of ■timber is discharged which is being rapidly «done in Mansford Bay.—Times. The s.s Albion, Capt. M'Lachlan, left Port Phillip iHe&ds at 7.30 p.m. on 27th December, and arrived at yport Chalmers Heads at 5.10 p.m. on the 2nd inst.
