Tin; Grayling—Vi’e under stand the repairs to the caller Grayling have been suspended tor the time being-, pending the arrival of necessary material from Auckland. The Weather and the Shipping.—Since Monday, the weather has not improved. The wind Ims gone round to a wanner quarter, but the rain has not ceased ; indeed, it came, down prettv smartly yesterday, and shows no sign* of elearip.g oil' up to this writing. The strong north-easterly breeze which prevails will doubtless bring down the Betsy, Bittern, and a best of other vessels from Northern ports, long overdue. Possibly, the brie Maggie may also be putting in an appearanee in the course of a day or two. The Iron Pot presents a very bare appearance—only four vessels being inside, viz., the schooner Annie (which leaves for Wairoa to-day, weather permitting) ; the kctcii Hero, recently arrived from Wairoa; and the cutters Grayling and Muhin, both laid up for repairs.

The Hangitoto.—This steamer, which left our harbour for Melbourne about four o’clock yesterday afternoon, got disabled in the Bay, and a boat sent back for assistance reached (he wharf a little after eight o’clock last night. The steamer Lady Barkly was sent (o tow her hack. The nature of the accident is precisely similar to that which lately hefe! the Taranaki off the East Coast. It is expected that the damage will be able to he repaired to-day, so that the steamer may proceed on her passage this evening.—Nelson Examiner, July 27. Stranding or the, Kennedy. —The liar at Hokitika is in a very had state, and the entrance has of late, frequently shifted. The ’West Coast Times of the 20th instant says:—Very little abatement in the surf was perceptible yesterday, and IHe bar in consequence was declared impracticable to all but light draught linndv steamers. Two only crossed it, the Bruce and ‘the Yarra', the latter haying left the lagoon to attend the Ciaud Haiimoni, and returned via the North Cnanin-i, wHich was also used bv the Bruce to pood eli’eet. The steamer Kennedy refused to tackle it, choosing the South Channel instead, but wo tire sorry to say failed to reach the lagoon, as she grounded between the south spit and the middle bank. The Kennedy was got off, and was alongside the wharf on Saturday last uninjured. " A telegram from Melbourne, dated July 15, fiays: —t’aptam M'Leau’s report of seeing a wreck off Moonlignt Heads is confirmed by Captain Kelly, of the barque Atlantic, who also reports seeing a wreek bottom upwards, off Cape Otway, showing about (id feet keel.
