The fine ketch Sarah and Mary sailed yesterday for Wellington produce laden. The topsail schooner J. G. Coleson, Chapman, master, returned to port yesterday morning. She was bound for Westport with a cargo of produce, but meeting with headwinds, and having sprung a leak soon after starting, her master thought it advisable to run back. She will be put to right, and will resume her passage as soon ns possible. The s.s. Arawata, Capt Underwood, arrived in harbor yesterday at 7.45 a.m. from Melbourne via South.

The ship White Eagle, from Auckland, arrived at Hong Kong on December 28th. The brig Byron left Newcastle on February 25th, coal laden, for Lyttelton. The necessity is becoming more evident ior deepening the Kaiapoi river, especially at the wharves. Apart from the large quantity of grain and produce taken from the Kaiapoi and Mandeville districts by railway, a considerable amount has yet to be taken away by vessels on the river. To meet the convenience of loading and procure quick despatch, it is required that immediate steps should be taken to deepen the natural channel. It is proposed to apply for the steam dredge as soon as a favorable opportunity oilers, but in the meantime practical men recommend that by a very simple plan the channel might be improved, and the earth taken out utilised in forming the proposed protective embankments. In this way a small vote for clearing tho river would considerably have lessened the estimated cost of having to cart earth from a distance for the embankments.
