The schooner Zephyr, from Melbourne, arrived at Hokitika on Friday. The Lioness returned to Hokitika, on Friday, after towing in the Aborigine to Westport. ; ' „ Tho entrance channel has again widened so as to reduce the depth of water, and to prevent the easy entrance and exit of all vessels excepj; those of light draught. In consequence of this, the Go-a- Head steamer, after waiting till tide-time on Saturday, stood' northward, but having picked lip the Dispatch, which had' proceeded out for a prospective tow, she transferred to the tugsteamer her freight of stock for this port • The Titan, which crossed the bar on the same tide — drawing, it is said, as much water as the Go-a-Head, got hold of the Lady Dbn, some distance to the northward, and towed her to Hoktiika. The Dispatch returned to port last night, and on the same tide the Wallace sailed— each ; doing so without apparent ; difficulty-; but the Murray, bound for the north, has been detained for a tide inside. - The sheep, transhipped from the Go:aHead to the Dispatch are to be sold to-day by Messrs D. Maclean 1 and Co. The steamer St. Kilda which was recently purchased for the West Coast trade, and placed in the hands of a firm in Auckland, for the purpose of being lengthened and materially improved, is now undergoing these processes with every probability of them being soon and satisfactorily concluded. The St. Kilda has proved to be everything she was understood to be in point of strength, and, when lengthened, with specially arranged accommodatiop for stock and passengers, she should be a great acquisition to the fleet of interprovincial traders.
