The 8.8. Gothenburg arrived from .Melbourne yesterday morning, having left that port on the 13th instant, and experienced a' very pleasjiiit passage. She brings 20 passs^. sengers and a pretty large cargo for this port, a^ain to-day, at 11 o'clock. The G^fenburg is, on this trip, underthe charge of Captain Tlnflerwood. .. The s.s. William Miskin left^Dunedin on Thursday hist south about. Called in at the Bluff and put in to Jackson's Bay on Sunday, and there discharged some passengers and cargo. She arrived at Hokitika on Monday morning, and after discharging her freight . for that port, came on hero, arriving yesterday afternoon. We are glad to hear that, the good steamer Wallaby— which in her time has rendered euoh effioient service to the West Coast— is once more at sea, having sailed from N^elson to Taranaki and Wanganui on Friday'last. She will take in a cargo of cattle at the latter port and.then proceed to Greymouth, afterwards calling at Hokitika.- She may be expected here at the end of this week. - W. C, :. ■ Tinm.

Bruce appears to have passed rather ; a serious ordeal at Fox's during her last visit to that port. The West Coast Times '^L of Tuesday says : — " In reference to the late trip of the Bruce to Fox's River— of which so ,;;.;. vrtnany reports havebeen in circulation' during the last few days— we may state that she arrived at Woodpecker Bay on Friday eyening, and landed passihgers. She lay quite comfortably until the* morning, and then com- . menced discharging cargo, but before the work was half completed a tremendously heavy sea got up, and washed over the rocks,, and right across the bay, creating a^strong whirling cun-ent^that set from north t*o south' round the bay. 'Besides the Bruce, the p. s. Tasmanian Maid was lying at anabjr there, and as in such a sea there'Swas npjflr'bora for two vessels to lie ami clear each other, a collison seemed' imminent,^ so to avoid it' Captain Eerley4eJi rm vied to put to sea and trust to " the goj<m ; ciualities ofj^is fine little vessel to cari!^ffim safely-r through theif fearful surf aJl^p^gcd outside. -- He accordingly got his j&Wmioiß ■■^.o,bti';beiiig;;'dbwn);-'biit\findingthe' ' so foul that to" get them inboard then j^jH^as impossible; : ttey. were lowered just clear the.fofe-f^ti arid, with this dead weight f. harigirig to l«cr^ noee,^ the.
