Co.’s Tarawera dropped anchor in the Bay at 2.30 a.m. yesterday. She was 264 hours out of Auckland before passing East Cape, having had a very bad passage across the Bay of Plenty. She was tendered at 7 a.m.. and left -for Naoier and south at 8.30 a.m. The Westport Coal Co.’s Regulus arrived in the Bay early yesterday morning after a stormy trip up the coast. Sites brought a full cargo of coal for this port, and was berthed at the wharf in the afternoon. The U.S.S. Co.’s Monowai is due from south to-morrow morning,' and sails later for Auckland. The U.S.S. Co.’s Moura arrives from Auckland to-morrow afternoon, and leaves for Southern ports in the even--111 The U.S.S. Co.’s Flora is expected to leave Wellington to-day for Picton, Napier, Gisborne, Coast ports, and Auckland. She will reach Gisborne towards the end of the week. ' The U.S.S. Co.’s Wanaka leaves Napier this evening, and arrives at Gisborne to-morrow morning. After discharging a quantity of produce, she proceeds to Auckland. The U.S.S. Co.’s Squall arrived at 'Auckland at noon on Sunday. It is •hoped to despatch her to-night for 'Toloaa Bay and Gisborne. ■ • Melbourne exchanges state that the "Tyser steamer Mnrere, from London, and the Tomoana, from New York, both met with very heavy weather in the Southern Ocean when in the vicinitv of Crczet Islands. The decks of the IVlarere were swept with tremendous seas, and, on one occasion, the engineroom was flooded. Severe north-east gales, accompanied by hail and snow, retarded her progress most of the way. Considerable damage was done to the fittings, and the port forward boat deck was carried away. The Tomoana experienced much the same weather, but got over the voyage without damage. She passed through blinding squalls of snow and hail, and, when in latitude -' 3 deg 41min east, she sighted a pin-nacle-shaped iceberg, over 100 ft in height. Many sailing vessels usually employed in "the Australian trade have been laid up recently in English ports (says an exchange), but advices received from London state that charterers of sail tonnage outwards are experiencing less H-'fficulty in filling their requirements than for a long time past, and a considerable drop in prices has resulted from the detscihination of owners to place their ships in position for the carrying of crops Homewards. A large number’ of vessels are now about to proceed east, and the Australian barvest is expected to provide a plentiful employment for a good proportion of them.' There* are some 60 sailers now in the neighborhood of the united Kingdom, either seeking outward ©mplovment or going out in ballast.
