Passengers - Mr PATTISON, and 5 steerage. Departure - July 3 - Southern Cross, s.s., for Wellington. An alleged "swell" got drunk on Thursday night, and was taken to the lock-up. When he sobered up he bailed himself out by depositing 1 pound, giving the name of William RAYBURN. He was called at the R.M.

WILLCOCKS, manager of the New Zealand Shipping Company, for figures (carefully checked by the Customs returns) showing the produce exported from Napier during the year ending June 30th, 1891.
