TELEGRAPHIC. Auckland, yesterday. Sailed—Talune, at 12.45 p.m., for Gisborne. The Australia did not reach Napier till 11 yesterday morning. The passage down must have been very rough. The steamer Talune is due in the roadstead at 1 o’clock this afternoon, and leaves for southern ports and Melbourne at 5. The Norval has to discharge a largo portion of her cargo in the bay before she can come into the river. The following passengers leave by the Talune this afternoon—Mieses Wood and Harris, Messrs W. F, Somerville, Herbert and son, Kettle, and Hasle. The schooner Gisborne has made a smart round trip. She left Auckland exactly a mouth ago, for south, and loaded both at Oamaru and Timaru, sailing for Gisborne on Friday last. On the passage up she met with fine weather, but on reaching here on Wednesday last there was a heavy sea running in the bay, and the vessel took shelter under Nicks Head till the following morning, when she sailed across the bay, Doming into the river at high tide. Early yesterday morning the new East Coast trader Awanui, Captain Skinner, arrived in port, from Auckland. On the trip down she experienced some strong weather, with high seas, and behaved admirably. The schooner, successfully com mnnicated with all the coast ports, and discharged cargo. The vessel is too heavily laden too come into the river at present, and will have to transfer a portion of her cargo into the lighters before she can come inside. The Awanui does not sppoar to make special headway when she has to contend with light winds, but she sails along beautifully in rough weather. She is far larger than the two clipper schooners Gisborne and Waispu, being about 100 tons, and is a handsome vessel. From her lines she should acquit herself equally well in the essentials of sailing, weatherlines, and cargo carrying.
