SHIPPING.

PORT OF POVERTY BAY ARRIVALS. JULY. 15— -Rangatira, s.s., Captain Griffiths, from Napier and Wellington, with general cargo Passengers : Messrs. Carter, Hamlin, Noble, Maloney, and others. DEPARTURES. JULY. 14—Pretty Jane, S.s., Captain Hielander, for Napier, with miscellaneous cargo and the following passengers : — Messrs Boylan, Mogridge, Karaitiana, Pita, Heketu, Mr and Mrs Moylan and child, and Mr Poynter. 16— Rangatira, s.s., Captain Griffiths, for Napier and Wellington. The Rangatira put in an appearance early on the 15th; but shortly after anchoring was obliged to take shelter at the Murewai, owing to the S.E., sea tumbling into the Bay; stayed all day and night, and came across yesterday morning the 16th sea still increasing, and she was compelled to depart without mails and passengers and clearance from the customs. A heavier break on the bar and across the Bay has not been experienced here for years past. Our Waiapu correspondent informs us that the Provincial Government have, in answer to a request from the East Coast settlers, made arrangements with the A.S.P. Co., for one of their boats, to call at Awanui once a month. This will be a great boon to the coast settlers generally, and they deserve it for their pluck and persistency. The Southern Cross left Auckland for Napier on Wednesday last. On the departure of the Rangatira yesterday, Mr Corbett promptly telegraphed to the A.S.P. Co. for the Cross to call at Poverty Bay, but the good intention was found to be too late. The company must have known that the pretty Jane did not leave this for Napier until Wednesday ; -and a visit from the Southern Cross would have afforded them another of those opportunities to which we have so often brought their attention—when a small concession on their part would have been of great advantage to this community. There are, we learn, over 20 passengers (besides mails) waiting to go South. Neither the Pretty Jane nor the Opotiki had arrived at Napier at 5 o’clock last evening.

'lbe Rangatira will return to Poverty Bay to-day if the sea is sufficiently smooth to land and embark passengers. She is announced to leave again for Napier and Wellington to-night. This may be Sunday morning, but intending passengers should be in readiness.
