Rosina, Captain Scott, will leave for the Coast this evening. The Union Company’s Southern Cross, Captain Bemech, left Auckland for Dunedin on Friday, and is expected to arrive there to-day. The schooner Gisborne, Captain Skinner, is expected, te arrive in port in the course of a ■day or two, from Auckland, she having left that port about the end of last week. We were unable te learn any particulars as to the movements of the s.s. Oreti up te a late hour last night. She was anvertised to leave Auckland ou Saturday last for Gisborne. The ketch Jessie arrived bn Sunday last from Lyttelton, with a cargo of coals consigned to Mr. R. G. Gibbons. After unloading she will leave for Auckland about the latter end of the week. The U.S.S. Co.’s Albion, Captain Webster, arrived in the Bay, from Melbourne via Southern Porta, on Sunday evening last, having been detained in Napier through bad weather. She brought about 40 tons of cargo and 5 sheep. She proceeded ou her rot age to Auckland about 2 o’clock, on Monday morning. The wind and sea had subsided and a crawd of attendant friends assembled on the wharf to wish the parting “ God speed.” Cargo : 68 sacks grass seed, 6 cases. The U.S.S. Co.’s Te Anau Captain Carey, arrived in the Bay from Auckland, on Saturday evening last, but owing to the lateness of the hour of her arrival, and rough state of the sea she was unable te communicate with the shore, and remained in the roadstead until Bunday morning, when she landed her cargo •and passengers, and kit again for Melbourne via Southern Ports, at 1 o’clock, with 23 boxes, 8 parcels, 1 bale skins, and 236 bags grass seed. Mr. William H. Guion, of the Guion Steam■hip Line, gave a dinner at the Turf Club, New York, te Mr. W. H. Pearce, head of the British shipbuilding company of Elder and Co., to lubricate the business of the projected Atlantic express line of steamers which are te •do the passage across the pond in five days ! The schooner Elizabeth, which arrived from the Islands in Auckland last week, was submerged alongside the Queen-street wharf for the purpose of clearing out the vermin. Directly the water closed over the vessel’s decks the cockroaches rose to the surface in swarms. Ants also came forth in thousands, while a few centipedes and rats also made their appearance. The native crew were engaged the next morning in dispatching the few survivors which had taken refuge in the rigging, and judging from the number of lives already disposed of, there can hardly be many left in the schooner.— Star. Several passengers who arrived by the Te Anau from the South (says the Auckland Star) have circulated a report to the effect that the vessel, when coming out of Gisborne, touched upon a rock and listed considerably, frightening the passengers very much. The Officers on board the steamer make light of the matter, and say they must have greatly exaggerated the occurrence, while Captain Carey has furnished us with a correct account of the mishap. When just outside the reef at the entrance te Gisborne the Te Anau touched upon something and listed slightly to oneside. The passengers had no cause te be alarmed, and were not; neither were any articles on board broken. The steamer did not stick fast but kept way on, leaving in her wake much muddy water, shewing that she must have touched a •xnud bank, or something of that description. He is certain it was not a rock, for it is easy to tell the difference between mud and rocks when an iron vessel («to upon either.
