The barque P.C.E., for Newcastle, will be towed to sea this evening. The s.s. Wanganui returned from her usual Southern trip yesterday morning. The barque Sunlight was removed from the stream to the railway pier by the p.s. Golden Age. The new steamer Shag, built by Messrs Kincaid, M‘Queen, and Co., for the Shag Peint coal trade, made a trial trip on Saturday afternoon, having on board about sixty excursionists. The schooner Spec, which left here with a cargo of sleepers on Thursday, for Moeraki, put back on Saturday evening, with the loss of both anchors, which she replaced at the Port, and sailed again yesterday. The Bruce arrived at Timaru on Friday and proceeded to Lyttelton without communicating with the shure. Captain Peterson also reports the schooner Janet Ramsay, from Gatlin’s River. She was waiting there for a slant to discharge her cargo of timber. The ketch Fanny arrived this morning with 21,000 feet of timber from Gatlin’s River. She left the river yesterday morning, after having been bar-bound for eight days. Captain Andrews reports the new ketch built there by Messrs M‘Phee having left at the same time. The N.Z. Co.’s s.s. Ladybird, from the North, arrived alongside the railway pier shortly after 4 p.m. on Saturday. She left the Manukauon the 11th, and called at Taranaki, Nelson, Picton, Wellington, and Lyttelton. We thank her purser, Mr Dougherty, for report and flies.

The heavy sea which ran in the bay on Wednasday evening washed the shingle away from the north side of the cradle on which the Emulous rested, and it was found on Thursday morning that the vessel had slipped down so far that it would be impossible to launch her until she had been raised again and the cradle made right.— ‘ N. 0. Times.’ The ship Invercargill will be towed to sea early to-morrow morning. The following is the list of her passengers;— Saloon :Mr and Mrs Squires and two children ; Mr and Master Williams. Second Cabin; Misses Wilson, Mrs Brockalbank and two children, Messrs T. Hutchinson, A. Honeyman, J, Sexton, H. Moyes, J. Brock, J. Atkinson. ' ’ The Harbor Company’s s.s. Beautiful Star arrived from her usual trip to Lyttelton yesterday morning. She left Lyttelton on Wednesday, arriving next day at Timaru, where she found a heavy easterly sea, and, being unable to communicate with the shore, remained there until 4 p.m. on Saturday, when she got under way for Port Chalmers, and. arrived as above. The Harbor Steam Company have intelligence of a great improvement in the state of the weather at Oamaruand Timaru to-day. At the former port the Samson had discharged' and was to leave with a full load of woof for Dunedin at 5 p.m. She may, therefore, be expected up during the night. At Timaru the Maori had discharged, and waste sail at sp.m. with wool for Lyttelton; and the Bruce was also discharging. She comes on to Oamaru to night to fill up with wool, and is expected at Port Chalmers about 3 p.m. to-morrow. MOKE ABOUT THE COSPATEICK. We (‘ New Zealand Times ’) greatly doubt that the information of the Immigration i >epartment as co the nomination and destination of the poor people by this lost ship is open to considerable correction. The losses will be mourned widely over the Colony. Amongst those lost we have heard of at least one family whose names appear in the list published—the Nalder family, consisting of a father, a mother and four brothers and sisters, who were corning out to the nomination of the eldest son, who is now in Wellington, and who had forwarded money to Auckland to bring them on to Wellington on their arrival there. It was anticipated that a clergyman, the Rev. Hr M'Laren with Mrs M‘Laren and family and servant’ would have been on board, but their names do not appear in the list. There may have been cabin passengers, however, of whom the immigration agents would take no note. Out of reb ect for the unfortunate people who perished by the burning of the ship Cospatrick, all the vessels in harbor on the 11th instant hoisted their flags at half-mast. Amongst the passengers, we (‘ S. Canterbury Times’) are sorry to be informed, was the wife of the captain, who was sister to Mrs CopeBtake, of Temuka, who was on the way out on a visit to her. Fortunately, the family were left in England. We (‘Press’) understand that the names of several relatives of an employe upon the Canterbury Railways appear in the list of immigrants who sailed by the above ill-fated vessel. The ‘New Zealand Herald,’ speaking of her anticipated arrival, says “ She has 429 immigrants, divided according to nationality, as follows ;—English, 247 ; Scotch, 42; Irish. 109; Welsh, 13; Channel Islanders, 10French, 7 ; Swiss, 1. Total, 420 souls, equal to 357J statute adults.” We arc officially informed that the lost ship had on board only four families, and aix single men and six single women as nominated immigrants, and all for “Auckland. The Cospatrick’s cargo was valued at L 40,000. ENGLISH SHIPPING.
