Harris, arrived from the Coast on Thursday afternoon, and came ■up to the wharf in the«evening. The s.s. Oreti, Captain Campbell, arrived in p rt from Auckland, on Thursday last, with a full general cargo. After discharging her cargo, she left for Napier and Wellington, taking through passengers. The s< h oner Venus, Captain J. King, was towed into the river again yesterday by the launch Noko, having been detained in port for a day or two, but will probably sail during the early part of next week for Auckland. The schooner Minnie Hare, Capt. Nicholas, arrived in the’ Bay, from Mercury Bay, on Monday last, with a full cargo of kauri timber. Owing to the unfavorable weather and heavy sea in the Bay she was unable to land, and sought shelter under Young Nick’s Head. She entered the river on Thursday laft, and is now disclwirging her timber at the wharf. The’Union Company’s Te Anau, arrived in •the Bay from Auckland, yesterday forenoon, 'with following cargo : —l2 bags oysters, 1 case 'fish, 2 casks, 32 pieces timber, 1 case biscuits, J 0 sacks oysters, 2 cases, 2 cases coffee, 15 pkgs., 1 pch, 1 dray, 8 cases oranges, 20 iron Jangs, 1 trunk, 6 iron columns, 5 pkgs, for Tologa Bay. The Te Anau sailed again for Melbourne via Southern Ports, at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon.

We clip the following from a number of the How Nficx-.— The Arizona, of the Guion lino, has mailt* the fastest passage on record across the Atlantic. She well deserves the .honorable tit le she has received of the Flying Arizona, and is one of the fastest ocean steamers afloat. She has made twenty-five Toyages and home in less than seven and ahalf days each. In September last, from Sandy Hook on one side of the Atlantic to Queenstown on the other, she did the passage in seven days-eight hours and some minutes ; on the return voyage she accomplished the journey in seven days seven hours and fortyeight minutes. The nearest approach to this is the performance of the Servia, belonging to the famous C’unard Line, which has done the trip in seven days eight hours and fifteen minutes. There is great talk of avast American enterprise which is to beat all this. Certain Yankee capitalists have promised us a line of colossal yachts which will land passengers who embark in New Yoii on Monday morning in Liverpool on Saturkay -morning. This seems incredible, but yet it is not beyond the bounds of possibility, and the American Government are prepared to foster the undertaking by offering large bounties for quick passages. One may be forgiven for wishing that Columbus might make the voyage ont and home.
