Lord Ashley from Northern ports, arrived last evening. The Wallace on her passage to this port yesterday visited the scene of the wreck of the Banshee, and reports the schooner breaking up, but saw no signs of any of the missing crew. The s.s. Storm Bird, for the South, passed out last evening. The barque Mary Russell Mitford, with part original cargo, sailed for Sydney this forenoon. The coasters, schooner Cora for Invcrgargill, cutter Result for Waikouaiti, and a cutter, supposed to be the Pilot for Invercargill, sailed this forenoon. The Government steam dredge is now employed deepening the entrau.-e to the new Graving Dock. On the passage down from Nelson to Hokitika of the s.s. Kennedy (says the Gray River Ary us) an interesting episode in the journey occurred. When about live miles north of Rock’s Point, on Friday; the steamer was hailed by the ketch Kedclifte, of Dunedin, which was then running before a south-west wind, the mate stating he wished to speak the Kennedy. Immediately Captain Whitwell was called, and th« steamer put about and ran down to the ketch, which was then hove-to. The mate in command ■bated he had been fourteen days out from Dunedin, and the captain was very ill, and he requested the captain to take him on board. The sea was then running very high, and had the Kennedy' lowered one of the boats, the chances were that the boat would have been stove, and imperilled the lives of the crew. The person in charge then stated lie would launch his own boat, but he had only two boys on board who could not steer. The .Kennedy would have rendered any assistance in her power, but it was positively impracticable. We have learned that the KedclifFu ran into Nelson last week leaking. Captain Heron, her master, being still alive, though very ill.
