The ship Hunmui was to have gone round to the Patent Slip yesterday afternoon, but the machinery of the slip not being in repair through the accident to the fly-wheel she had to remain at the wharf. The s.s. Arawata, with the Suez mail onboard, will arrive here this morning about seven o’clock. The .schooner Nelson, lor Waitapu, sailed yesterdav. The U.S.S. Company notify that after the 13th inst. the s.s. Wellington will leave Wellington each Saturday and Wednesday, and Nelson each Mondav and Thursday, calling at Picton on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The Murray got away at 2.30 p.ra. yesterday for Nelson and West Coast ports. ’ The Jane Douglas was lowed round to the Patent Slip on Thursday evening by the Manawatu ; but as the slip was not in working order they had to return again to the wharf. The ss from her West Coast trip, returned to port at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon. She left Gr-jymouth a- 2 p.m. on the 9th, and arrived at Westport at midnight same day; sailed again at noon on th -s 10th, arriving here as above stated. Experienced light westerly winds throughout. On the down trip the Grafton lost the top portion of her foremast when under sail. She will leave for Lyttelton to-day. The s.s. Taranaki, from the South, arrived in port at 1 p.m. ye-iterday. She left Port Chalmers at 1,46 pm. on .Wednesday last, arrived in Lyttelton next, afternoon, sailed again at 7 p.m., and arrived here as above stated. Tins Taranaki sailed for Northern ports shortly after II o’clock last night. The a s. Wellington, from Northern ports, arrived in ha bor at 3.30 p.m yesterday, with about 100 tons cargo and an unusually largo number of passengers, viz., 00. Tin*. Wellington is a day behindhand, having been bar-bound at the Manukau for 21 hours. She left Onehnnga wharf at 11.45 a.m. on the Bth, but on reaching the bar was unable to cross it owing to the verv heavy sea running. Anchored at 1.40 p.rn., an fat 11 o’clock n<?xfc morning made another start, arriving off New Plymouth at 3 a.m. on the 10th ; at 8.30 a.m. pushed on for Nelson, and made that port at midnight; delayed there but two hours, when shu started for Picton, arriving there at 9.45 a.m. ycstorfUy ; at 10.30 a.m. left for this port, arriving an above stated. Had strong westerly winds with bead sea .lown. The Wellington sailed for the South at 7 o'c ock last evening. The schooner Torea, which won the Lyttelton champion sailing race, had all that affair to hers If. From the Christchurch papers we find that although she ran down one of her opponents, cutting her down to the water’s edge, going round the wrong course and losing some fifteen minutes, she still won the race with plenty of time in hand. The owner and captain of that handsome vessel leave many friends behind them imLytteiton, for they have acted throughout in the most liberal and praiseworthy manner. Not content with presenting .£lO to the Colonists’ Society and £lO for a third prize for the champion sailing race, they resolved to give the Orphanage children a treat, and on Saturday last about Hix*y of them (that is all who were old enough), accompanied by their teachers and some friends, went aboard and wore taken for a sail. It was a delightful day, and all enjoyed themselves most heartily. Captain Whitby, of the Emerald, bearing no small part of thy trouble. The children returned in the evening thoroughly pleased with their sea trip

THE SCHOONER CANTERBURY AT SAMOA. A lew weeks ago wo had occasion to refer to the proceeding* in connection with tlio sale of the above schooner, and we now give the result, culled from the Samoa Timet:— A Naval Court was held at tiro JiritUh Consulate, Apia, on Saturday, 30th Novcra-

ber, to decide a 3 to the legality or otherwise of the sale of the Canterbury at Pago Pago. The Court was called at the instance of Mr. W. J. Hunt, the late owner, who protested that the sale was illegal. Captain Robinson (the master of the vessel), Mr. Muir (the supercargo, ■who bought the vessel), Captain Wright (who surveyed the vessel), .Mr Kelly (the mate), and several others gave evidence. The testimony was of a most extraordinary character. Mr. ' Mair swore that Hunt, before the Canterbury left Apia, took him and others into a back house in the town, and told them that he was going to send the vessel to Pago Pago to be condemned, and that he (Mair) was to buy her for a Mr. Eckford. meaning himself, adding that it was the only way to clear himself from the liabilities ho had incurred in Auckland. The captain con radicted this evidence, and said he was compelled to put into Pago Pago, as the ship was leaking badly. Captain Sadler, of Apia, was called, and swore that when the Canterbury left he understood that she was to be condemned and sold In Pago Pago. lie was led to understand so by Hunt himself. The Court, wishing to know who the mortgagees were, received the following revdy:—National Bank of New Zealand, £2.50; Mr. Hill, £125; 11. Cashmore, £125. The Court found that the sale was legal, ordered Hunt to pay a>l expenses, and awarded Mair-ss. compensation. The Court also recorded its strong disapproval of the conduct of Mr. Hunt. Mr. Hunt protested against the decision, but his protest was not entertained. Mr. Mair subsequently sold the schooner to a Chinaman, who, however, refused to pay until the papers had all been signed by the consul, who was away at the time.
