Shipping Intelligence.

The s.s. Oreti, C’aptain A. Campbell, arrived in the bay at 4 o’clock this morning, with 48 tons of cargo, and two passe n gers { Messrs Kennedy and Austin. She sailed about four o’clock this afternoon for Napier. The sthooners Minnie Hare and Julius A ogel were towed out over the bar by the Noko. The former proceeding to Auckland via the Coast ; the latter to the Bay of Islands to load coal for this port. The Atalanta is expected to leave sometime during to-morrow. The lighters are busily engaged discharging the cargo of the Oreti. ‘ The Union s.s. Co.’s Arawata left Auckland for Gisborne at 10 o’clock to-day. The Hero will not put in here till Wednesday instead of Monday. The schooner Saucy Kate, which was stranded a short time ago at Hicks’ Bay, was moved down to low water mark, but through the heavy seas during last week, she was washed back to her former place.

Subjoined we give an extract account of the Japanese man-o'war Tsukuba, shortly expected in Auckland. We feel deeply for the troubles of the Post and Telegraph officials if there is much communication in their line with the Japs. If the officers names are jawbreakers like these, what a treat it must be to hear her crew mustered !! I Is it fair to call a man <{ Ya-soukar ?”—“ The Tsukuba is a ship-rigged corvette of over 1800 tons measurement, and was built at Malacca, in the Malay Peninsula, in 1851.
