The 8.8. Murray sailed yesterday morning for Westport and Nelson. . The barque Kate Conley, Captain Roberts, from Melbourne, arrived in the roadstead early yesterday morning. She cleared Port Phillip Heads at 6 p.m. on the 6th instant, with a light easterly breeze; passed Swan Island at 3 a.m. on the 9th, arrived off Bold Head on the 19th, and made this roadstead at 8 a.m. yesterday. She was immediately waited upon by the p.s. Dispatch, and brought in safely the same tide. Through-; out the passage the Kate experienced very 1 fine weather with light variable winds and calms. On the 17th instant she passed a large schooner bound west, in kt. 41.20 S., long. 164.45 E., but too distant to signal. She brings a large cargo of general merchandise, and is consigned |to her owners, Messrs Glenn Bros. Captain Roberts com- : plains that the signal light at the flagstaff is. very indistinct, and it was only with much difficulty that he could make it out on Mon*

day night. We have no doubt this will be seen to by the harbor authorities. ; A. small' craft, about six tons burthen, manned by three meh^'came in at the new 1 channel, Buller 'River, the other morning without mishap, not shipping a single sea. She hails from the Anatora Creek, and has put in for a cargo of supplies for the diggings there, on which some 150 men are now working. Considering that .the skipper i andnis; crew are strangers to the port, it was a somewhat pluoky attempt to enter the river unaided. But their craft is just the build for such work. A close-decked surf boat, without bulwarks, and drawing only two feet and a half of water. Favored with a slightbreeze from the north, aud propelled by two hands at the sweeps, she came in with perfect safety.
