SHIPPING.

The Southern Cross will arrive early this Homing, from Wellington and Napier. She will leave for Auckland during the day, takIng with her 350 ehoep to be shipped by Mr George Scott. The s.s. Arawata having been detained in Dunedin, could not leave that port yesterday, as she should have done, but will leave there to day, and therefore will be due here on Monday morning next, The as. Wairarapa will arrive in this port to-morrow, about noon, from Auckland. The ketch Lucy James left yesterday for the Coast Captain Miller, we regret to say, is still suffering from the rick in his back he sustained a short time ago. The New Zealand Shipping Company announce their list of steamers for the regular monthly line, vis,, the British King, British Queen, Fenotauton, lonic, and Dorio—all new steel boats. The lest two are recent additions to the White Star Atlantic steamers. Besides these, Messrs Elder and Co., of Glasgow, are building three steamers for the company, each of 4000 tons, to be completed this year. The “ European Mail ” refers as follows to tne relative seafaring eapabilities of the New Zealand Shipping Company's steamer British King and the new Orient steamer Iberia:—“The British King, which left Plymouth on 28th Jan., is a magnificent vessel in construction, and a fine vessel in her behaviour. Especially is the latter the case in rough weather, when the steamer ploughs through the waves as though the weather were the finest possible. This was evidenced in the run down the Channel, when the Iberia, which left Gravesend two hours before the British King, arrived at Plymouth seven hours after the New Zealand vessel.”
