She reports the West.Coaft bara good.' ; The WeUington Post siys :— The fivorlte littla steamer Wellington hns added another to her past laurels, by completely. beating' the Melbourne steamship Otago in a 200 miif race Aom Lytt'lton to Port Chalmers with four hours to Bp-ure. The Otago l^ft Lyttelton last Thursdty at 9 a.m., tbe Wellington following, her at noon. A heavy S W gale, with tremendous head sea, was experience} during the whole trip, which was accomplished by the Wellington in 3 1 hours, and by the Otsgb in 38 hours, steaming against a head wind and sea the whole way. The Otago lost her figure-head and some of her forward gear, through the severity ot th 9 gale and seas. The whaling brigantine Isabella, whose late unsuccessful cruife we noticed recently, having been .fitted oat anew b^ her owners, Messrs Krull & Co, and a fresh crew, engaged will take "ber departure on another c-xpedlj tion. Coptaiu Thorns informs us that he in 1 tends cruising about in the fir?t instance for three or four weeks in the neighborhood of Banks' Peninsula, where many sperm whales have been seen lately. Should she meet with good luck, she will remain in that pirt bo long as it may seem advisable. Should no fish be seen ttt tbe end of that ppriod, she will proceed to the Chatham Islsnds and try thoße Waters. Tlie crew are engaged for six months, ou the usual whaling terms, receiving as wages a share of the profit?. We hope the Isabella and her spirited owners will have better fortune this time. — Post.
