The following vessels are in the roadstead:—The steamers Maori and Bruce, barque Amateur, brig Wave, schooners Kate Brain, Wanganui, Created the Wave, Lion, and Eliza McPhee. Business is very brisk, and numbers of vessels are constant!} in the roadstead. The steamer Ladybird, Captain Andrew, arrived at 12.30 yesterday from Picton, having left that port at 7am - The Ladybird crossed the Manukau bar at 4 p.m. on Saturday last, and experienced fine light weather and smooth water the whole of the voyage. She discharged her inward cargo, coaled, shipped a few packages of merchandise, and sailed for Lyttelton and Port Chalmers last evening. The steamer Otago left Lyttelton for this port at 2.15 p.m. yesterday. She may therefore be expected to arrive at about ten this morning. The fine brigantine Hannah Broomfield, Dawson, master, anchored In this harbor early yesterday morning, from Kaipara, She left the Kopuru mill on Tuesday the 23rd ultimo ; dropped to the bar and anchored till the following Thursday, when she got to sea in company with the schooner Kate McGregor, also bound to this port. Exceptionally light and variable winds prevailed during the whole voyage, and her royals, which were set on crossing the Kaipara bar were not taken in till yesterday morning. She brings a large cargo (110,000 feet) of kauri timber consigned to her owners, Messrs, Greenfield and Stewart. . , , , , , A comparatively new and smart-looking schooner, named the Kate McGregor, built at Auckland, arrived yesterday morning from Kaipara, having crossed the bar in company with the Hannah Broomfield, on the 23rd ultimo. Light and variable weather marked the The schooner Marraion was lying at the Kopuru mill, Kaipara, when the Hannah Broomfield left for Wellington- „ , .. The English barque Esk, Captain J. B. Stitt, left the harbor for Valparaiso yesterday morning. A handy little twin-screw steamer, of 25 tons register, named the Ino, made her first appearance in this harbor yesterday morning. She is usually cra- ' ployed trading between Nelson and the Sounds, but her last trip was from Patea, whence she left at nine o'clock on Monday morning. The Ino brought a quantity of grass seed. . The steamer Southern Cross, having received a coat of paint and a few slight repairs, steamed round to the wharf from the Patent Slip yesterday afternoon. She will load with transhipped goods, and sail for Napier. Poverty Bay, and Auckland to-morrow. The steamer Manawatu will arrive this morning from Wanganui, and leave again at four in the afternoon. _ , _ The Blackwaix Steamship Durham.— By the arrival of the s.s. Durham, from London, at an early hour this morning, we are placed in possession of English papers to date January 28. The Durham is the latest addition to Messrs. Woney Wigram and Sons’ fleet, and the favorable impression she made on her first voyage will be very much increased by her present rapid run out. Her performance on this trip is a signal and most unqualified success, and in addition to having made the fastest passage hence to England, she has gained the no small distinction of having accomplished the quickest direct passage from England here. The owners of the Durham have done much with their steamers to make the Cape route attractive, and their efforts in this respect are meeting with commensurate encouragement. The Durham brings a large number of saloon passengers, amongst whom are several returned colonists, besides a fair complement in the 'tween decks, and all have arrived in good health. The voyage out has been marked by generally favorable weather, and Captain Anderson has made good his averment last trip, that he would bring his steamer out under fifty days if the weather was at all propitious. The Durham left Ply mouth at 9 a.rn. on January 28, signalled Cape Otway at 3 p.m. yesterday, and anchored in Hobson's Bay shortly before three o'clock this morning, so that her passage over all may be reckoned at forty-eight days eighteen hours. The consumption of coal on the passage was C 63 tons, or about 14J tons per day of the forty-five days the vessel was under steam. Although she came up the bay at an awkward hour, a number of gentlemen went down the bay ia James Deane and Co.'s steamer Warhawk to meet her. —Melbourne Argus. A Japanese ScHOOL-aim*. —A handsome barque of 450 tons register, measuring 160 ft. by by 14 10-12 ft., has been launched from Messrs. Boy and Mitchell’s building yard, Alloa. She was christened the Formosa, and has been purchased by Messrs. Ahrens and Co., of Ycddo, Yokohama, on behalf of the Japanese Government. She is intended to take cut war materials to Yokohama, and thereafter bo employed as a school-ship in the training of Japanese seamen.
