The s s Bangitoto, having been tendered at Hokitjika at midnight on Thursday, arrived off Greymouth yesterday forenoon, and transhipped passengers and a small quantity of cargo, the bulk of her freight being brought up by the Waiparo, which left Hokitika on the mid-day tide. On the same tide the, Murray left Hokitika, and she formed the third Arrival at the port during the day. The only departure from the port, besides, that of tho Bangitoto, was the Charles Edward, which sailed at an early hour in the morning, arriving at noon at Westport, for which she had a quantity of cargo shipped at Hokitika. The Murray is expected to sail-northward this afternoon. ' It was understood that the s s Kennedy was to be laid up at Nelson for a thorough overhaul, but she is now making one more trip to the West Coast before being placed in the hands of the iron-founders and engineers. When that is done, her place will probably be taken by the Wallace, a socalled sister riup to the Brace ; the Wallace, which has recently purchased by Messrs Edwards and Co., having left Dunedin for Nelson in the early part of the week. It is stated that Mr Martin Kennedy, who yesterday returned from a visit to Al elbourne, has purchased the brigantine Sarah and Mary, one of Messrs Spence Brothers' wellknown line of Boiling vessels, and that that vessel will now be engaged regularly in the Melbourne and Greymouth trade. She was expected to Rail yesterday from Melbourne for this port, to whoae shipping list she will bo a valuable acquisition. The ps Nebraska left Auckland, for Honolulu, on the 14th inst., with 200 passengers and a large general cargo. The head-board, or part of the stern, of a vessel, with tho word "Liff," three inches long, upon it, in black and gold letters, was picked up at Otago Heads on the 18th inst. The letters are supposed to form part of the name of some vessel that has been wrecked. The s 8 Phcebe, Captain Wowp, which left Nelson on the 10th insi, experienced terrific weather on her passage to the Manukau. One of ber large quarter boats, and the davits to which it was hung, were carried away, and some other trifling damage done to the vessel. On reaching tho Manukau Heads, it was found impossible to take the bar, owing to the tremendous sea upon it, and the vessel was accordingly hove-to for 24 hoars, reaching Onehunga on the afternoon of the 13th.
