Taupo, Captain Worsp, left Dunedin at 11 a.ra. on Sunday; came on under easy steam, and arrived at Lyttelton at daylight on the 24th : left again at 4 p.m. same day. and arrived here at 9.20 a.m. yesterday. Experienced fine weather to Lyttelton, thence till arrival thick S.E. weather.. The Taupo will sail for Northern ports at noon to-day. The s.s. Arawata, from Melbourne via the South, will arrive here this morning. She sails for Nelson in the afternoon, and may be expected back here early on Friday morning. The Arawata will leave again same evening, taking the outward Suez mail.. The miserable weather of yesterday prevented the departure of the Napier for Foxton, and the Matau for Kaikoura. The former will leave this afternoon at B o’clock, and the latter as soon as the weather moderates.

The first shift of wind will most probably bring up to our Heads the barque Malay, from Newcastle, and the schooner Young Dick, from Hobarton, and perhaps the Britain’s Pride from the same port. The sailing of the p.s. Manawatu for Wanganui has been altered to 8 p.rn. to-day. The Eangatira will not leave for Napier and Castle Point till this evening at 5 o’clock. The Kiwi, it is expected, will leave for the East Coast to-day; but if the weather does not somewhat moderate from its rather boisterous state, it is highly probable that she will be unable to leave at her adverThe s.s. Tui is expected from the West Coast to-day. She will leave for Foxton to-morrow. The p.s. Luna took her departure from Nelson for this port at noon yesterday. She may be expected here this morning.

Much uneasiness is being felt here owing to the non-arrival of Messrs. Beck and Tonks' brig Britain’s Pride, which left Hobarton for this port on the 17th June. She must have, as we stated before, encountered the very heavy weather which was experienced in this part of the Southern Ocean from the 21st June to the 23rd, and most likely has either been dismasted or foundered. Concerning the last supposition, several nautical men of considerable experience have expressed their opinion to be that such a fate has not befallen her. Their reason for st thinking appears to be that the Britain’s Pride possessed considerable weatherly qualities, which were well proved by her standing the terrible typhoon which raged off China last year without even loosing a piece of rope yam, while a number of other vessels which were in her company either sunk or were dismasted. Besides, we understand she was not heavily laden, being only about in proper sailing trim. Mr. Tonks has informed us that Captain Armit. of the Young Dick, on his voyage from here to Hobarton fell in with a brig on the 20th June, which he had reason for supposing was the Britain’s Pride. She is under the command of Captain Linklater, her cargo consisting of timber, jam, and other produce. Unfortunately, the two daughters of Mr. Beck are oh board, and we need scarcely say that considerable uneasiness is being felt by their friends here. It is supposed that there are two other passengers on the Britain’s Pride—a young man and a young lady ; but as to whether they actually left in her the owners here have not received any definite information. We clip the following from the Glasgow Herald of 23rd May: —” Dumbarton.—Yesterday Messrs. Wm. Denny and Brothers launched from their building yard an iron screw steamship of the following dimensions, viz— 290 ft. by 33ft by 25ft.; gross tonnage, about 1750. She will he fitted with compound directacting engines of 250 horse-power nominal by Messrs. Denny and Co. The usual ceremony of naming the vessel the Wakatipu was performed by Miss Agnes Eussell Currie, of Glasgow The Wakatipu will be placed on the intercolonial trade of New Zealand and Australia, and will be under the charge of Mr. Mills, the energetic manager of the Union Steamship Company (Limited), of Dunedin, Otago. Tho Wakatipu will be handsomely fitted up for a large number of first and second-class passengers, and will be the largest steamship In the trade." The Olago 'I mes adds “ The above steamer was to leave Glasgow on the Ist July under tho command of Captain Cameron, who is well-known in Dunedin as master of the barque Otago, and latterly has been in charge of the Ben Ledi, one of the Glasgow and Melbourne liners. > Mitchell's Maritim Jlcgisler of the 18th May, has the following;—“On the 13th inst. Messrs. Wingate and Co. launched a screw steamer named the Wa taki, for the New Zealand coast trade, built to the order of Mr. John Darling, 400 tons 8.M.. compound surface condensing engines of 00 h.p. nominal, class A 100 at Lloyds. The ceremony of naming tho vessel was performed by Miss Douglas, a native of New Zealand. This steamer was built to the order of the Oarnaru and Dunedin Steam Company, under the Inspection of Mr. John Darling, the resident engineer at Glasgow, for the Union Company. She will take up the trade at present performed by tho Samson, and will bo under tho management of Mr. James Mills. —Otago Daily Times.
