The barque Prospector, for Aucklaud, sailed this morning with a fine S.W. wind. I'he schooner Wanganui sailed this morning for Wanganui via Wellington. The ketch Trial, for Waikouaiti, sailed this morning. The ketch Huon Belle, for the Molyneux, came down from Dunedin this morning, and anchored oil Carey s Bay. The ship Aldergrovo commenced to unmoor this morning, and will be removed alongside the railway pier to discharge this evening. The keten Edith Reid, with a full cargo of produce from the Molyneux, beat up the harbor this morning. She left the Molyneux on the 28th inst., had strong N.E. winds till 4 a.m. this morning, when it shifted to the S.W., and arrived as above.

The master of a coasting vessel was lately fined L 5 and costs, for failing to keep a light on board his vessel. The lantern had been lit several times, but was blown out. In connection with this case, we would mention that the Harbor Beard regulations provide that every vessel must keep one person on hoard as an anchor watch. Had this been done iu the case referred to, a breach of the regulations would not have occurred. But there are matters of greater importance than this connected with the observance of this greariy-neglectcd part of the Harbor regulations. In the event of a storm arising, the man on duty as a ichor watch would he able to “pay out” more cable, and this, in almost every case would enable the vessel to ride the storm out in safqty. When this is not attended to, the vessel is very likely to lose her anchorage, and in being carried away, drag othc: vessels with her, and cause a very largo amount of dama-’-e. ‘ New Zealand Herald.’ 3
