Per Wallabi, for Wanganui : 60 tons coal, Maclean and Co.
In consequence of the heavy sea rolling home on the bar, neither the Wallabi, Charles Edward, nor Murray sailed to-day ; but we. cannot understand why the Hokitika bar; should be reported good at 9 a,m. yesterday, in the telegraph report, when the Charles Ed ward did not deem it advisable to attempt, crossing on the previous day, and the wind was reported as still in the same quarter. Rivers and bars good, with the exception of Tauranga, where there was a heavy sea rolling, is the teleftraDliic report for yesterday, at 9 am , Holsitika bar being reported as j»ood ; but whether it was workable is another matter. Bad weather Was reported as prevailing at Napier, Clyde, Invcrcargill, Tauranga, Westport, and the Bluff. The barometer stood highest at Westport, 29.87, ami lowest at the Bealey, 27.40. The thermometer was highest at Napier, 57; and lowest at the Bealey, 40. The schooner Io arrived in the roadstead yesterday morning, and will be towed in on the first opportunity. In consequence of the bad. state of the Hokitika bar, the Charles Edward and Murray will not again attempt to cross it this trip, bat will leave for Westporfe and Nelson on this afternoon's tide, about three o'clock.
Tha 8.8. Rangitoto, from Melbourne direct, arrived in the Hokitika roadstead yesterday morning, but was not tendered on the afternoon's tide, in consequence of the bad state of the bar there. It is probable she will come on here to-day, when she will be promptly despatched fur Nelson, other New Zealand ports, and Melbourne. 'The s.s.' Gothenburg is expected to-morrow from Nelson, when she will oe despatched for Melbourne direct, with gold and passengers.
