Shipping Intelligence.

The s.s. Arawata arrived from Auckland at 3.30 p.m. to-day, with 16 tons of cargo. She leaves again this evening, for southern ports with the following passengers :—Miss Collier, Mr and Mrs Hird, W. Russell, S. Meyers, C. Lambert, Fisher, and one prisoner The s.s. Oreti arrived at the Spit, Napier from Gisborne, at • o’clock this morning. The schooner Julius Vogel had to put back on account of the rough weather outside The schooner Atalanta has been detained in port through bad weather setting in. She will leave as soon as the weather abates. The Minnie Hare, which left yesterday for the Coast and Auckland, was forced to return when she was about Tologa Bay, on account of a fierce north-easterly gale which overtook them. On her last voyage (says the Auckland “ Star ”) from Gisborne to this port the schooner Cygnet encountered some terrible weather, and at one time those on board almost gave up all hope of ever reaching land. Gisborne was left on the 10th July, and on the evening of that day the vessel was blown far out to sea. Six days later the East Cape was sighted, but here again gales and high seas were met with, and the schooner was again blown out to sea until full 100 miles off this Coast. One sudden and terrific squall almost overturned the vessel. She went on her beam ends and remained in that position for some time. It was only by keeping her dead before the gale that Captain Ross at length had the gratification of seeing her assuming an upright position again. After further bad weather had been experienced for about nine days, Auckland harbor was made.
