The. City of San Francisco, with the San Francisco mail, left Kandavau on the 7th inst., and was therefore due at Sydney on the 13th, but up to last night there were no telegrams concerning her. She is doubtless detained by the recent extremely heavy weather experienced on the coast of Australia. The following is a copy of letter received by Mr. Seed. Secretary of Customs, from the local inspector of steamers at Dunedin:—“ I have the honor to report to you for your information the inspection of the hull of the s.s. Hawea. in Graving-dock, Port Chalmers, on Friday, September 8. This vessel having been reported to have touched some rock off Jackson’s Head on her lost trip northwards, I examined the bottom carefully for any indications of having been in contact with any hard substance, but could not find any traces whatever." The New Zealand Shipping Company have received advices by the last mail to the effect that the Howrah cleared at Gravesend on July 23th with 260 adult emigrants on board. She will land the emigrants at Nelson, and then come across to this port to discharge her cargo. The ship Ocean Mall was to follow for Wellington on the 20th August, with a large general cargo, but no Government immigrants. One of their own vessels was to be despatched during the present month with immigrants and cargo for this port. . Up to the time the Telegraph department closed last night no news concerning .the arrival of the steamer Alhambra at Hokitika from Melbourne had been received. She left on the 3th instant, and was therefore due on Monday or Tuesday. She would probably arrive there late last night or early this morning, Tht Stormbird will leave to-morrow afternoon for Wanganui. In noticing the departure of the R.M.S.S. Bangalore recently, with the Australian and New Zealand mails, the Australasian says:—“The Bangalore oh this trip is freighted with the largest amount of trea-. sure which has left in one bottom for some time.- It is made up of 50,9540z5. of gold, valued ,at £203,318; and thirty boxes containing 155,900 sovereigns from this port, In addition to 491,000 sovereigns from Sydney. The united value of the shipment is £850,718."

The barquentlne Ada Wlswell was berthed at the wharf yesterday. The manifest of her cargo appears in another column. She will commence discharging this morning. The ship Midlothian, Captain Griffiths, will sail from here to Calcutta where she loads for Home.

The barque Panola is now duo from New York at Fort Chalmers, having left on the idth June. She brings a large quantity of kerosene and other merchandise, a portion of which is for this port, whence she will come after discharging her Fort Chalmers cargo. The following passengers left for this port on the 23rd July In the ship St. Leonards: —l>. Y. Skae, Henrietta Skae, Hilda Skae, Yreak Skae, Walter Skae, Ethel, Skae, Earnest Skae, Winifred Skae, Margaret Graham, Itev. J. Treadwell, Helen Treadwell, Charles U, Treadwell. Archibald H. Treadwell, William James Treadwell, Janet B. Treadwell, Hilda M. Treadwell, Helen B. Treadwell, James H. Treadwell, A. M, Heaton, J. A. Burnett, Mary A. Burnett. Josephine Burnett, Emma Burnett, J, H. Reynolds, W. W. M. Brown. W. Galpin. A. Rolls, Harold Rolls, Miss B. Jones, Mrs. Noflo, Miss Norie, Kate Norie, Charles Carr, Ernest Carr, E. Hawkins, G. W. Mackay, J. Roberts, K. Sutcliffe, Yreak Sutcliffe, C. L. Fhrophlick, B. Bickham, W. Somerville, Mrs. Somerville, W. J, Hickson, W. Chisholm, W. Hayes, Margaret Hayes, Ablgael Reid, T. Arrowsmitn, C. T. Mathews, W. M, Clark, Mrs. J. Taylor, I). Power, A. H. Moore, W. Galpin. A. Sinclair. The Kiwi’s departure for Napier hasbeen altered to Monday next, the 18th Inst. The steamer Easby left Lyttelton for this port at 4 p.m. yesterday, and will arrive here this morning. She is advertised to sail for Newcastle direct to-day. Yesterday morning at high water a kedge anchor was run out from the schooner Shepherdess lying on the beach In Worser Bay, and shortly afterwards she once more floated in her native element. The Californian pump was set going, and it was found that she could be Kept tolerably dry. Sail was then made, and with the aid of a brisk breeze from the southward and all the canvas they could get on her she hove round for Wellington, where she was run up on the beach at the buck of WUlIs-strcefc, Coming ronnd from Worser Bay the pump had to be kept continually going. Captain Cochrane and Pilot Holmes, who assisted In getting the schooner out of her rather dangerous position, may well be congratulated on bringing their work to so successful an issue. The damage to the schooner consists in a portion of the forefoot being carried away and the copper on one aide ground off, but otherwise It ia of a very trifling

nature. She will go on'one of the slips, ftn d soon! to see the old schooner in her proper place once ; The .i schooner Kaiuraa came’ off Meech' Slip y^terday .morning, after undergoing a complete overhaul .O The New Zealand says whaling schooner Isabella shipped per the a.-s. lona, 38 casks oil, the produce of two whales (humpback .fipedes),,. 5 of Islands. She is to leave Rawiti and cruise about the K&v&lli group, in order to meet the fish coming the north. - ,/ ■ THE P.M.S.S. CO.'S STEAMSHIP^CITY OF SYDNEY.:' ’ . The Royal Mail steamer City of Sydney, under the command of Captain John M. Dow. arrived off the Heads at 10 o’clock yesterday, and came up the harbor. anchoring off the wharf at 11 a.m. Pilot Holmes was outside the Heads in his boat waiting for the steamer all the morning: but on coming up w . she never slackened to allow him to com© al0 ”S" side, and the consequence was that sue ran into port without any pilot being on board. e - cepting Captain Blundell, the coastal pilot. No doubt it Is a great hardship to Pilot Holmes to he out all the morning in an open boat,and for several hours in the rain to ttnd that on c up with the steamer he is not wanted . and p®^. M th r ■^s.ssr.ssrfc ofhi g rhanfcs Th a e | independence on. the part of the “F 1 * 1 " ing the mail boats in this matter; perhaps wnen they aU^espects^save^and few to the P two other boats City of San Francisco and City of New York. She is a new vessel, having been built in the latter part of last year at New York. Her length is 3S9ft.; beam 40ft She carries a crew numbering 103 men all told. The following are the names of her officers:—Captain, Mr. Jno M. Dow; chief officer, Mr. D. S. Austin; 2nd do, Mr. Dow; 3rd do, Mr.. Band; purser, Mr. J, O. Lyman; chief engineer, Mr. Thos, O’Hara; Ist assist-ant-engineer, Mr. C T. Marsland; 2nd do do,_Mr. Tobias; 3rd do do, Mr. P. Byrne; surgeon, Mr. W. J. Atkinson: The rest of the crew are billeted as follows:—Four quarter-masters, twenty seamen (eighteen of whom are Chinese), one cadet, three water tenderers, three oilers, two storekeepers, seventeen waiters, one messman, one barber, three stewards, one stewardess; one butcher, one porter, one baker, one pantryman, five cooks, and two watchmen. The City’s run from San Francisco, to Sydney was made within contract time, winch shows that her speed is equal to any of her sister ships; but although her run from Sydney to Auckland via Kandavau was made in one day over contract, the fault was not hers, as she was detained off Kandavau by very thick heavy weather. It will take some dodging for her to get into Port Chalmers, ns she is deep, drawing about 23 feet of water. She left Sydney on the 25th August at 3.15 p.m., discharged pilot at 3.56 p m.; had line weather till off Kandavau at 2.10 p.m. on the 31st, when it came down very thick, which compelled the steamer to lay off till 3 p.m. next day. Transhipped mails and passengers Into the company s steamer Zealandia, which vessel left that port for San Francisco at-6 p.m. same day. On the 7th instant received mails and passengers from the s.s. City of San Francisco, and left same day at 1.35 p.m. Had. fine weather across to Auckland, which port ( she reached at 11.30 a.m. on the 11th. Discharged mails, passengers, and cargo, and left again next morning at 3.20 a.m. Reached Napier at 1.40 p.m. on the 13fch, sailed again at 3.30 p.m., and arrived her© as above stated. Had strong head winds with heavy sea from Auckland.. After landing 62 bags mails and 255 pkgs. cargo and taking on board a quantity of coal, she left fer Southern ports at 5.80 p.m. : ,
