The p .s. Charles Edward sailed about midnight for Westport and Nelson. The p.s. E'ispatch leaves this forenoon for • . ..Nelson for repairs. , She takes a supple- ' mentary 'mail for ; England, via San Francisco. ! The brig. A lice Maud, Captain Hurley, from Melbourne,' was towed to the wharf yesterday afternoon by the p.s. Dispatch, f after a detention of several days in .the rpad- - stead. As she is the largest vessel that has ever entered any of the West Coast rivers. j'> '■' i and as it was known that she was drawing 10ft sin of water, her entry .was watched •■ I : ' with much interest, but notwithstanding her v; i depth, she .crossed the bar and camo up! the river without touching. She left Port Philip Heads at 3 p.m. on the 25th, with a south-y-'i i erly breeze..; Next ; day the Sisters were ; bearing B.W. 20 miles. From thence a continuation" of westerly and S.W. winds was experienced until the coast was made on the :'A .'. < 2nd ihst, ' >. The brig is a smart sailer, asevi- , denced .b, jr . the fact that on the last day of ' iij the'run over ahe made '24o miles.' ' : She' was built in the Manning River a year ago by Newton and Sons, and is certainly a credit 'to that firm. She , is 1 10 ft long, 23ft beam, lift hold, draws 10ft sin aft and 9ft 4in for- , _ward, and. carries 380 tons cargo measurement. Her first voyage was to China, and' she is" accounted one of the handsomest vessels of her size in Australian waters. She .i brings a very large cargo, and is consigned to her owners, Messrs Glenn Brothers. The .'Melbourne correspondent of the Otago Daily Times writing under date January '2l' says i 1 — Our P. ano O. service, is not so smart „ this year as last. The last incoming mail was some days behind time on arriving at Melbourne. Seventeen or eighteen months . /ago the steamers used, to arrive with regU* . .,. . larity four or five days before they were due. . But then the contract was not made, and ' " • :i now it is, and that makes all the difference. The company now goes in for economy of coal, and does not care so much' about time. >' -^-The> Zouave, the Lord Chief Justice's yacht, goes to sea every Friday evening or Saturday morning with the learned judge for a cruse of about forty hours, thus giving his • ;•• lordship time to. be in London on Monday morning for the Tichborne trial. ' The Chief Justice, when' onr board, is engaged almost the whole time in writing. < . :, The 8. Otago, .formerly such a favorite in the New Zealand trade, will' once more re-, - ■ virit the ports, of the Colony in the present month, when she has, been laid, on to bring • — the Suez mail in place of the s.s. Albion. Afterwards she, will, run regularly in the ... ..New Zealand and Melbourne trade. The j. j Otago has been .thoroughly overhauled, and entirely refitted, since she was- bought by . . Captain . Underwood, for Messrs MM eckan, Blackwood, and CoJ ' She'has now a hurricane deck, like I : 'the Albion, over which ! ' -- ■' steamer she has the advantage ! of three tons in point of size/ pas at least, had in the former buud of the vessels. The Otago always was re- .'!.: nowned.for her speed; like. the Albion,, and it will-be very, satisfactory ; to_haye two such : v'j splendid steamers tp, perform this link of our Suez maii service.
