The s 8. Kennedy was to have left Hokitika at 10 o'clock yesterday morning for this port, but she has not yet put in an appearance. The s.b. Alhambra, from Melbourne, arrrivecl off the bar yesterday afternoon at 1 p.m., but owing to tbe high sea running was unable to be tendered, and it is supposed, proceeded on her way to Nelson. She arrived at Hokitika early ou Monday morning, but owing to the heavy flood in that river tendering her was utterly out of the question. Apparently, says the Register, the captain was impatient to get on, as he steamed backwards aud forwards iv the roadstead for sometime, and signalled to know the hour when the tender would be sent out. It is reported that Mr Ducane, Governor of Tasmania, is among the passengers by the Alhambra. The s.s Claud Hamilton, for Melbourne direct, is announced to leave tlm port to-clay, but owing to the telegraphic wires being down, we are unable to learn when she left Nelson The schooner Awatua, Captain Sliephard, left Greymouth on the J2tli instant, and experienced light east winds until the 14th, when she arrived off Big Hay, where she landed the mail for Martin's Bay from Greymouth, and left the same d >y.
