SHIPPING SUMMARY.

The Keera, s.s., from Dunedin, with the English mails on board, arrived in the Lower Pool on the afternoon of the 24th inst., and after landing the mails and shipping several passengers, sailed on her voyage to Hokitika. The Southland arrived on 2nd inst., with the first portion of wool for the England ; after discharging, the Southland sailed for the Molyneux to take in a cargo of wool for Port Chalmers. On Saturday, 22nd ult., an accident happened to the Southland, which necessitated her putting back from a voyage to Dunedin on which she had started. She left the jetty with a heavy deck load of wool for the Bluff, aad on nearing the bar, it being then scarcely high water, the shallowness of the channel, and the weight on her deck rendered her helm almost useless, and she drifted broadside on to the bar, and shipped a good deal of water, seriously damaging the wool, which has been unpacked and is undergoing the process of drying, and doing some injury to the deck houses for the accommodation of the crew. The repairs, however, have now been completed, and she left on the 2nd for Dunedin without accident. The South Australian left Port Phillip Heads at 10 p.m. on Tuesday, the 12th. Experienced calm weather to the Swan, which was passed at 10 p.m. on the 13th ; thence to 45' 20- 163'8---east light variable winds ; from thence met with E.S.E. winds and thick weather, with heavy sea.

Passed the Solanders at 8 a.m. on the 17th, thence fresh E.S.E. winds to the Bluff, which was reached at 1 p.m. The s.s.
