RUAHINE, FROM LONDON.

The local office is advised that the Euahine sailed from Hobart at 5 yesterday morning in continuation of her voyage from London to Wellington. She has en board 9 saloon and 22 steerage passengers for Auckland, 9 saloon and 27 steerage for Wellington, 22 saloon and 32 steerage f6r Lyttelton, and 8 saloon and 6 atedrage lor Dunedin ; also 155 tons cargo for Auckland, 1435 tons for Wellington, 642 tens for Lyttelton, and 54 tons for Dunedfti. The vessel is due ia Welliaeton eariy on Tuesday morning. Mr S. Brown Is informed that the barque Dilpusßundleft Newcastle on Monday for Wellington with 800 tons coal. Owing to a heavy run in the river at Westport last Saturday evening the Taupo, from Greymouth, ran aground, but floated off n few hours later without sustaining any damage. The Wakatipu, from Dunedin via Wellington Heads, arrived at Suva on the 16th instant, and was to leave on Tuesday for Auckland with a fall cargo of raw sugar. Whe» hostilities broke out between America And Spain the American barque Mary Hasbrouck, which was loading at Auckland for New York, was placed under the British flog, and Captain Roberts, who brought out the steamer Kia Ora to the colony, was placed in charge. The vessel has again been transferred to the American flag, and is now loading at New York for Wellington and Auckland. Captain Ludwigs is again in charge, Captain Roberts having returned to Auckland by the Mariposa. The omission of one necessary word from a cable message has. had the effect of bringing a vessel far out of her course. Surprise was caused in IJyttelton on Wednesday at the unexpected appearance there of tho barquentine Krongbyrd from Algoa Bay, South A frica. It seems that her captnin while at Algoa Bay received v cable mes»age to the effect that he was to load at Clarence Eiver, New Zealand. The omission of the word "for" before New Zealwid led Max p> before

that ho was to loml at the Clarence Eiver which I runs from the Hauiner Pluius into the ocean to ''the north of ICnikonrn, anil n^ Lyttelton is the nearest port to that river Captain Henderson made for it. II was really tho New South Wales river that was meant.
