Im. p.m. Apogee, 12th, 2h. p.m.—Perigee, 27th, Ih. a.m. Colonist, schooner, from Napier, touched at this Port on her way to Auckland on Monday morning. • The Colonist reported having passed the Star of the South between this and Napier on Sunday last. 'The Dawn returned to Port from the? Coast on Monday, and is advertised to sail tliis morning for Napier, if weather permits. The Tawera put buck on Sunday evening. Captain Kennedy reports a heavy northerly swell outside which would prevent him loading on the Coast. The schooner entered the river on Monday morning, to take shelter from the ' B.E. gale which is still blowing. The English Mail was due in' Auckland on the 27th January. The Hawkes Bay Herald reports that “the ■ ».<». Star of the South is under offer for purchase or charter to the Auckland Steam Packet Co., who intend to employ her,- if obtained, on the Fiji aervine. Should they not come to terms with Messrs. 'Houghton and Co., we believe, there is every probability of her being rc-char-tered, for another eight or nine months, for the Auckland and Napier trade. Her present ■ charter expires on the 13th prox. In the event of her being purchased or chartered by the Auckland company, her place on this coast will be taken by the p.s. Comerang. The traffic between Napier and Auckland will not, of course, in any case be interrupted.
