- The s.s. Rotoraa arrived at the wharf from Sydney, via the East Coast, at half-past 0 yesterday morning. , She reports leaving Sydney Heads at-9 pm. on the -3rd; passed the Three Kings at 3.30 p.m. on the'7th, and'North Cape at 6.30; then eased the engines, and arrived at the Bay of Islands at 0 a.m. on the Bth ; coaled, ancTsailed at 2 p.ra.. and reached Auckland at 1.45 a.m. on the 9th; discharged; and proceeded at 6,30 p.m.. anchoring in Hawke’s Bay at 7 a.m. on the 11th; left again at IX a.m., and arrived in harbor as above. The Rotorua made another very fast passage 'of 4 days 7. hours to the Bay of Islands. Experienced westerly winds and fine weather to Bay of Islands: south-west gale and head sea thence to Auckland, and south-west winds down the coast. At noon of the Bth, Robert Allen, saloon passenger, of Melbourne (commercial traveller, lately in the employ of Sargood, Bon and Co., Dunedin, and Jacob Joseph and Co., died of disease of the. heart, and was burled at Auckland, We are indebted to Mr. R. B. Pringle, purser, for files and report. The Rotorua left for the South again shortly after 5 o’clock. The Government steamer Stella left here last Monday on a visit to the various lighthouses to land the ordlnar/storcs, Ac,, and returned yesterday at midday. She passed the Brothers Lighthouse on the evening of the same day on which she left hero, but could not bold communication owing to the thick weather and heavy sea. Stood off and on daring the night, and arrived at Nelson the following morning at 3 o'clock. Completed her work, and left again at 11 a.m. the. ■same day for Farewell Lighthouse, but could do nothing owing to the heavy weather, and sho anchored under Tutaranul, and remained there until 0 o’clock the next morning, when sho sailed for Farewell Spit; 'didder business there, and left again at 4 p.m. for f Westport,;arriving there the next morning at 3 o clock.

Rounded Cape Farewell at midnight, was off the Brothers at 0 o'clock yesterday morning, and arrived here as above. Light winds wore experienced throughout the trip. A case which was at one time likely to have occupied theattention of the Resident Magistrate's Court .atdwklanga, has just been amicably settled by aridtratlon. It appears that when the brig Restless was lately at the heads, waiting for a favorable wind to cross the bar. she was observed by the signalman at the pilot station to have her ensign hoisted upside--ff•fttJiaM-mHst.and this being Interpreted by him to signl y that the ship was in distress, ho reported the matter to Captain Keane, of the p,s. Geelong, who was about starting off for Whangape, and who at once proceeded. 19 the vessel, which, was by this time about twelvel milea off land. When the steamer got alongside. I he captain of the Restless said that ho was fn no distress, and that the flag had been hoisted by a hoy .In mistake, Short y after a fair wind sprang up. 11ml the hag got safely into the harbor. Tim Gecloug , proceeded, to Whangape, and on her return Captain Keane put In a claim for £l6 to the captain of the Restless, in , payment [for, the: steamer having i>roccedcd so far out to sea on bw account. Captain Fieek for some time ignored the claim altogether, but • subsequently agreed to refer the matter to throe arid

trators—Messrs. Yarborough, Cochrane, and Bates, who awarded the steamer £8 10s. for the loss of time and expenditure of coal. This decision appeared to give mutual satisfaction, and spthe matter tfew Zealand Herald, July 8. » • ARRIVAL OP THE 91IIP CAITLOCU. .. Messrs. Shaw Savill’s fine ship Caitloch, consigned to Messrs. Levin and Co, arrived in harbor frorn London yesterday at midday after a somewhat lengthy passage of 100 days, chiefly accounted for by the light and variable weather to the Equator. She is commanded by Captain Phillips, who 'A®} into port in splendid order; Her decks and cabin fittings are scrupulously clean, in fact the whole ship h«s arrived a credit to her officers.‘ She brings -l passengers, who all arrive in -good an^ spirits, and have presented Captain Phillips .with a most flattering'testimonial, which will bo found below.

On the following day experienced a strong south-west breeze.
