Purchass of the Star of the South. We understand that the steamer Star of the South has been purchased by Messrs Waller and Co., of Auckland, for the East Coast trade, and is expected to leave Dunedin on Tuesday next, calling at all ports on her way up. The Ringarooma arrived from Auckland to-dav, at 2 o’clock, with 66 tons of cargo, including that which was carried on to Auckland by the Rotoniahana. She leaves for Southern Ports to-night. The following passengers were booked to leave by her:—Misses Morgan, Hamlin, Claud, Mr H. E. Baker, and 1 native.

The schooner Gisborne, Captain J. Skinner, arrived from Auckland via the Coast, this morning. She left Auckland with a full general cargo, of which she dis-

charged a portion on the coast, and filled np with house blocks, etc., at Waitotara. Captain Skinner reports having made the run down to the East Cape in 48 hours from Auckland. The remainder of the time bsing occupied in working along the coast, during which light southerly weatner was experienced, She is at present drawing Bft. 6in., and consequently will have to be considerably lightened before she can come inside the river.

She was removed further out from her anchorage to the eastward, and is at present anchored at the place known by old identities as the “ Blue Hole.’’ Her passage here occupied 14 days. The schooner Waiwera is still upon the beach. .411 the coal and other cargo has been discharged out of her. An official inquiry is expected to be held to-morrow morning at low water.
