The favorite Melbourne trader Maid of Erin arrived in the river on Sunday, after a ■ good run from Melbourne. Captain Cairns reports that he left Port Philip Heads on 'the 6th, experiencing light winds until nearing the New Zealand coast, when a favorable breeze prevailed, and he made 600 ■miles in three'ttnd half days, bringing him to his anchorage in the Buller roadstead just ten and -a. half days after leaving port. On ■the 11th instant, at about 2.15 p.m., when in latitude 40, arid 159 east, those on board experienced shock of earthquake, lasting for nearly a minute. The sensation ■as described' by Captain Cairns, 'being precisely as if'his craft had bumped upon and grated across a boulder bank. The weather at the time was fine, and a north easterly swell prevailing. A similar shock, but of slighter effect was experienced afterwards. 'The Maid of Erm anchored in the roadstead on Sunday morning, and at mid-day tide sailed in, crossing ifhe bar under full sail. She brings a full cargo of merchandise to this port, and is now discharging. She will receive 'quick "despatch for Melbourne. Ths s.s., Rangatira has made her last trip to the Grey for the present for coal. She bumped heavily on crossing the Grey bar on her last trip there, injuring her stern post. Mr Hartmann has intimated to the manager of the Ngakawhau mine that whenever he can telegraph him intimation that coals are ready 'for shipment at the Buller.he will send the Rangatira down for a cargo.
