EXPORTS.

Per Mary Stewart, for Melbourne : 15 half-tierces tobacco, Kennedy Bros ; 4 cases perfumed spirits, Cassius an<J Oomiskey ; 40 tons coal, Kennedy Bros. Per Tasmanian Maid, for Hokitika : Goods transhipped ex Egmont in mistake for passenger's luggage ; goods shipped at the Buller; and passengers luggage transhipped ex Egmqnt. The shipping items at this port have, since our last, been very few, owing to the prevalence of boisterous weather. On Saturday and Sunday a very heavy sea rolled home on the bar, making it impassible ; but on Sunday evening there was an evident change for the better, and with the tide yesterday morning the Tasmanian Maid, the Persevere, aud Dispatch ciossed the bar, the latter having in<ow the outter Elizabeth, coal laden, for Hokitika. They met a piptty rough sea on the bar and were washed foi'e and aft, but beyond a good ducking, crossed, the bar safely. The bar was found to be in splencljd condition, with plenty of water, and capable of being worked either by night or day. The Tasmanian Maid r«tn down to Hokitika with the view of transhipping the Otago and Egmout's passengers, and bringing them on here if the Hokitika bar was impassible. But as she did not return last evening, wo should imagine she ran that bar safely. The Mary Stewart has met with quick dispatch th"s trip. On Saturday she was hauled over to the oial wharf and received forty tons of coal for the Melbourne market. Yesterday she returned to her berth at the ■wharf, and as everything is in readjness, will lie tQweci to sea the first opportunity. The s.g. Otago, from Melbourne, which arrived in Hokitika roadstead on Thursday jast, waited until Sunday^ when, finding the bar still impassible, and being bound to contract time, she transhipped her mails and pissengers into the Egniont, and proceeded on her voyage northward. As her mails did not reach Greymouth by the coach last evening, we conjecture that the Hokitika bar>was not workable yesterday morning ; but should it be in better condition this morning the Egmont may be tendered and allowed to proceed on her voyage. She is advertised to sail from this port for Sydney direct tocday. The reJauneh of tfee p.s. Huntress was completed an Friday morning, when the old boat took her final slide into the lagoon from the South Spit. Her removal was effected right smartly by the contractors, Messrs Maddison and Spraggs, who only commenced q lerations on Saturday las'-, Since then the Huntress has been lifted eight feet peqjendicularly, and moved over one hundred feet horizontally. She has received no damage. -^W. O. Times.
