The ship Hurunul came alongside the wharf yesterday, where she will commence discharging cargo today, As she now lies alongside the wharf it is easy to see in what a very foul state her bottom is—barnacles and weeds being visible several Inches thick above, water: - Taking into consideration the state of her bottom, the Hurunui's passage of 90 days from

Plymouth* to anchorage in this port must be taken as a very creditable performance. The Hurunui will not load here for London, but proceed to Port Chalmers after discharging cargo, where she will jdo so. ■ A twelve-hundred ton ship has sailed from London with a general cargo for Levuka and Samoa —the first of a regular Fiji line. ~ , ' The splendid ship Leicester, Captain Caddy, is announced to sail for Newcastle in a day or two, for which port she is now ballasting. .
