The barqueutine Jasper, Captain [Burton from Newcastle arrived on the 3rd inst. r ilic Captain reports having experienced hurricane weather for the first four days, and thenceforward very light winds and calms, which account for (lie slow passage. The Jaspers cargo consists of 1-25 tons coal, consigned to Nicliol Bros. The barque Gazelle, Capt. E. Petersen, with a cargo of 481 tons coal from Newcastle, made this port on the 4th inst. The captain reports having left Newcastle on 24th March, with strong S.E. winds, which continued till the 29th, the wind then hauled E. and E.S.E., which brought the vessel off the iSolandcrs; from thence light winds till arrival. The s.s. Indramayo, Captain J. Firth, arrived from Napier on the 4th inst.. Each •steamer brought a large number of passengers. The new iron girder approach to the wharf is now finished, and presents a very handsome and substantial appearance. The s.s. Indramayo will coal here, and take her departure for London direct on the 10th inst. The barque Gazelle and barquentine Jasper are busy putting out their cargoes of coal. The barque Othello has neaxdy finished taking in her outward cargo, and sails for Lyttelton. The brigantine Sarah and Mary left for Lyttelton on the (sth inst. with a fine tailwind, taking 03,000 ft. timber for the N.Z. Pine Co. The old mission schooner Southern Cross, which has been the means of making Christianity known among the South Sea Islands for many years, has been re-christened the Isabel, and will in future be employed in the mercantile trade, cruising between Auckland, the Friendly Group, and the Savage Islands. It is claimed in Scotland that the largest yacht in the world has been built at a yard in Leith. She is named the Valhalla, is 1500 tons, full-rigged, and has an auxiliary engine.
