The barque Frances Henty took up her place at No. 1 berth yesterday. Alter she has discharged the small portion of her cargo intended for this port she •will sail for Auckland, to which port the balance of her freight is consigned. ,-",,,„.„ • The s.s. Kiwi, Captain Campbell, left Napier on the 12th at 1 p.m. She experienced light head winds throughout the passage, and came alongside the Queen's wharf at 9.30 p.m. on the 13th inst. She passed the Eangatira at 2.30 p.m. on the 13th. The steamer Stormbird arrived in harbor at 10.30 last night. Captain Doile reports having left the Corporation wharf at 9.30 a.m. yesterday, clearing the bar half-an-hour later, and having during the trip experienced fine weather. . Berth No. 3, lately occupied by the Halcione, wa3 taken possession of by the Border Chief yesterday. As soon as the bond is signed she will commence discharging. By Captain Mundle's report for the month ending September 30, it appears that 66 steamers arrived at this port, of the gross tonnage of 17.526 tons; and 33 sailing ships, gross tonnage, 5029. He also reports the engines and gear to be in good order. The 'tween decks cargo has been taken out of the Kinfatms Castle, and the discharge of the cargo in the lower hold will be pushed forward as fast as circumstances will permit.

NAUTICAL ITEMS. Another powerful steamer has been added to the North German Lloyds line of steamers to New York. She was bnilt by Earle's Shipbuilding Company, at Snnderland, and made her trial trip.on the 14th July. She averaged thirteen knots on a very small consumption of coal. Her tonnage is 4000 and horse-power 2000. She is magnificently fitted up, says the Register, but the American trade being so dull, will lay bye for a while along with some eighteen other vessels belonging to the same line, for which there is no employment. Her name is the Salier. The erection of two new lighthouses on the English coast, one at Morte Point, on the north coast of Devonshire, the other on Durlestone Head, Dorset, is contemplated. ~. , ~, The agony columns (wrecks and casualties; of the Maritime Register, of July, are as voluminous as usual. The brigantine Elenore, abandoned, was sighted on May 23rd. lat. 45'50 N.,long. 39 W., by the Elida, of Philadelphia. The Elenore had lost staunehions and bulwarks on Btarboard side, foretopsail and topgallant sails set, mainsail stowed, and other sails blowing adrift and split. She was very deep in the water. On the same day the Elida passed a boat bottom up, about 18ft. length of keel. On Slay 23rd, a cargo launch was sunk during a hurricane at Valparaiso, and the master and his wife and seven children, who were on board, were drowned. A severe shock of submarine earthquake was experienced by those on board the Hamilton Eoss, which arrived at New York from Manilla in July last. On June 4, when in lat. 19 N., long. 58 "W., the shock and noise of an earthquake were felt and heard, and lasted about ten minutes. The ship pitched bows under in the sea that was raised. A water-logged vessel named the Louis, with both lower masts gone about Bft. above the deck, and in a position dangerous to navigation, was passed by the Keine Adrienne on June 21, lat. 43 N., long. 37 Vf. The ship Mairi Bhan, which was at this port last year, arrived at Liverpool from San Francisco on June 29th. She met with severe weather on April 18, lat 54 13 S., long. 82 W.; encountered a hurricane there, and had to heaveto, and lay for four hours with the upper dead eyes under the water. The cabin was filled with water, and all the starboard bulwarks washed away. During the gale, she passed a spar with rigging attached, supposed to be part of a ship's mast. The boilers of the steamer Kenown burst on July 1, when that vessel, bound to Suez from Newcastle, was off the Kentish Eock. Three men were killed and several wounded. The Bteamer England, arrived at Liverpool from New York, reported that, during the outward passage, on June 17, lat. 44, long. 47 W., she fell in with and took in tow the derelict barque Eogate. She towed her for thirty-six hours, and then, the hawser parting, she left her. The brig Curlew, of San Francisco, water-logged, abandoned, and dismasted, with bowsprit and jibboom standing, was passed by the Eskdale, of Liverpool, in lat. 23 N., long. 124 "W. She had apparently not been long dismasted. The sea was too high to board her. The following vessels were lost in a late hurricane at Valparaiso:—Barques Esmeralda, Jules Bordes, Eden; launches Pearl, Egeria, and Ocean. The steamer State of Nevada, whilst on the passage from Antwerp to New York, struck an iceberg on June 12th, and stove in the upper part of her port bow. Large quantities of ice fell on deck. The Luz, arrived at Gibraltar, reported j that, on the 3rd June, she came up with the berque Wisby hove to under two topsails and fore topmast staysail. She was water-logged and abandoned, and half-an-hour afterwards went down head foremost. This was in the-Mediter-ranean, lat. 38 N., long. 8..8. Ice was prevalent in the North Atlantic up to the end of June. The ermuda steamer arrived at Quebec from Shields, eported having,, on the 21st of June, found the Strait of Belle Me completely blockaded with ice. She had o steam 175 miles to the southward to get clear, and or a long time was surrounded and unable to move. Immense bergs and drift ice impeded, her way until

she arrived at St. Paul's. • la" Bonne Intention baroue sugar and rum laden, from Demerara to Liverpool was passed by the Cambria steamer on j^e P 23rd, tat 49 N., long. 26 W., on fire all over. The Cambria rescued the crew and one passenger from their own boats. „ ~ „ .. A letter, dated Zanzibar, June 4, from the Zanzibar correspondent of the Western Morning tions the capture of a large slaver, by H.M.S. ilying Fish, on the Madagascar coast. The crew finding escape impossible, ran the vessel ashore, and a u the slaves, except forty-two women and children, got off. The slaves had been suddenly kidnapped by Arabs, and driven to the coast and embarked. The correspondent greatly regrets the ignorance of the natives in tho interior as to the object oi the presence of the British ships. The slaves on board the vessel now captured had been told that the English were' cannibals, and desired to- eat tlieni. Hence the great panic which ensued. Mothers actually left their babies to perish in their haste to escape from capture. The Flying Fish also captured a slave ship flying the French flag, which, therefore, had to be given up to the French authorities, and was let go. The correspondent deplores the absence of any treaty against slavery with France, tho only civilised Power which encourages slavery on the east coast. lho French flag is hoisted by slavers, who thus defy our cruisers, and nullify our efforts to abolish the infamous traffic.
