Yesterday being a close holiday, there was a suspension of business at the port. . The only item of news we have to record is the towing of the Eangatira by : the p.s. Manawatu over to the Patent Slip. The differ- ' ent vessels in port were profusely decorated with bunting, and at an early hour in the morning presented a very pretty appearance, although later in tiie day they had assumed a woe-begone look, owing to the downpour of rain. There were several small .craft upon .the water, but the rain marred the enjoy"DThe barque Queen of the South will come alongside the wharf this morning, and should the weather be favorable she will commence discharging tne Wellington portion of her cargo. .... For reasons best known to themselves, tlio immigration authorities have thought fit not to land the immigrants per Hlndostan, although the ship was. passed shortly after dropping her anchor on Saturday afternoon, not a single case of sickness being on board The only explanation'given for this extraordinary proceeding on the part of the authorities is, that two persons boarded the ship while the Health Officer was there. One of these, it is said,- had the permission of the Health Officer to go on board to see his wife, and the other took French leave, although the ship was passed at the time; besides, it was so dark that the captain affirms he was not able to uis- ' tinguishone person from another, and being a stranger -to the' port, he was not supposed to know who were officials and who were not. The delinquents were seen by persons on board, as well as by others who • were in some boats alongside, to ascend from the Health Officer's boat. Yet, on these flimsy grounds nearly 200 souls, as well as the doctor, who have been cooped up in a limited space for 100 days, are debarred from seeing their friends and stretching their legs ashore. ~ . t • The ship Hindostan will enter at the Customs today. Most probably she will occupy No. 20r>,0. 4 Thi Hawea.—Messrs. Wm. Denny and Brothers, Dumbarton, have just launched an iron screw steamer named the Hawea, of 700 tons, and of the following . dimensions:—2ls feet by 27 feet by 14 feet, with full poop and topgallant forecastle. She is the property of Mr. James Mills, Dunedin, and is intended for the coasting trade of New Zealand. She is being fitted for between 60 and 70 first-class and 22 second-class, with every convenience for passenger accommodation. " The Sumner.—On March 6, Messrs. Murdook and Murray, Port Glasgow, launched from' their ship- ' building yard a steam screw hopper barge, named the Sumner. This barge represents the first part of a contract of dredging plant—dredger and hoppers-for the Provincial Government of Canterbury, New Zealand. After the launch the Sumner was towed to Glasgow to receive her machinery.
