The Carnatic, a wooden ship, of 871 tong, Captain E. M. Moon, from London, is also discharging inward cargo at the Queen’s Wharf. She has been laid on the berth for London, to sail about the 30th proximo,. The Carnatic, also, is under charter to the New" Zealand Shipping Company.

The steamer Tararua, with the outward English mail via Suez, will leave the wharf at noon to-morrow.

H.M.S.S, Rosario, Captain Dupuis, steamed away for Sydney direct at an early hour yesterday morning.

The paddle steamer Lyttelton, for Blenheim, left the wharf yesterday- at 12.30 p.m. The steamers Manawatu and Stormbird may be expected to arrive from Wanganui this afternoon or early to-morrow morning. The brigantine Hannah Broomfield will complete the discharge of her inward cargo of kauri timber today. She will then ballast, and sail for Kalpara the first favorable wind. ..

The ship Howrah hauled from the wharf into the stream yesterday morning, and Immediately afterwards dropped down to the fairway off Kaiwarra. She has on board 5008 bales of wool (a number of which are undumped, and a quantity of other pro duce.) The entire cargo being valued at £93,000. She will be taken, to sea this morning by the outward pilot if the wind is from the northward. The barque Malay, Captain H. E, Hill, loft Wellington on the 24th'Hoc., with a strong N.W. wind, and anchored in Cloudy Bay for three days. Then had S. wind till arriving at Nelson on the 291 h, when she discharged her original cargo. Sailed again on the Bth, and experienced light N.W. winds, with thick hazy weather, until the 14th January, when they veered round to W. and W.N.W., and lasted till the 22nd. On the 24th, encountered a strong gale from the W., which increased on the 20th, blowing hard for twelve hours. Made Maria Island on Wednesday last, with a pleasant N. wind, and passed Capo Pillar at 11 a.m., and Cape Kaoul an hour later. Had light bailling winds then to the Iron Pot, where, at 0 p.m., they came to anchor. At daylight yesterday morning got under way, and arrived in port at about 9 o'clock. —Tasmanian Triburv: (Hobarton), Jan. 39Paii,uiie or Tiia Cahtax.ia.— The twin ship Castalla—one of the realised dreams for defrauding Neptune of the tribute he exacts from sea-sick trespassers on his domain—ls not giving satisfaction. She is so very stable that they cannot get her to go through the water [as a clipper should, and the blame is laid on

her boilers. She steamed from the Thames to Dover, with the intention of making a trial trip to Calais. She did not venture so far, but took a crawl along shore to Dungeness on a calm day instead. The boilers, urged beyond their capability in the desperate endeavor to get along at a better speed than ten knots, primed, and she has returned to the Thames to get new ones. It matters little whether the boilersaro too small or the ship too unwieldy, the calculations upon which her anticipated success as a fast and steady ferry-boat were based are found to be erroneous. It will, indeed, be marvellous if an alteration to her boilers should increase her speed from ten knots in a sea smooth as a mill-pond to sixteen knots in rough weather. This is promised, but as the data obtained in her trial trip have been kept secret, a little scepticism as to her future performances is pardonable. — London Journal.
