DEPARTURES. OCTOBER. 3—Rangatira, s.s.,,Captain Lloyd, for Napier and Wellington.^Passengers—Mrs Git t in*. Messrs Broadbent, Bishop, Helyur, Sedgewick, Townley, and Boylan. Messrs. Graham and Co., received a private Ceh-grum by the Rangatira from Tauranga via Napier to say that the Pretty Jane had put in tojthat port- on Thursday last the Ist October. The steamer experienced heavy gales during the passage ; she had lost twi 1 birds of h.'i cargo of sheep, and had run out of provisions. All the passengers were well, for which, in our humble opinion, they have great « r cause to thank Providence than the A.S.P. Company. A telegram appears m the Napier Telegraph of the Ist October, stating <he Pretty Jane arrived at Auckland at 8 a.m. on that day. A mistake lies somewhere, but it is a mercy that she has shown up any*here, and that the passengers are alive toted the story of their woes. We cannot, under any circumstances, look for return of the Pretty'June until about Friday next. Lyttelton, September 28. Arrived : Merope, from London ; 92 days from Plymouth. She brings 336 immigrants. Auckland, September 29. A useful screw' steam tug was launched today from the yard of Mr. Ross, of Freeman’s Bay. It has been constructed to the order of Messrs.

The engines will be fitted, and she will leave for her destination at an early da'e. She is named the Sir Donald. Her lines are very shapely, and her general appearance does credit to the builder. The launch went off most successfully.
