The Bchooner Clio, bound for Westport, was towed to eea yesterday morning by the steamer Lyttel ton; also the schooner Shepherdess, bound for the Pelorus Sound, was towed to eea, shortly after tbe Clio, by the Wallace. Both vessels hai not got far by sun-down last evening, there being litt'e or no wind all day. The schooner Uno sailed last eveniDg for Adele Island for a cargo of stane. The harbor presented a somewhat animated aßpect yesterday morning, B'irst the eliip Lutterworth coming into harbor with a steamer on either side, shortly afterwards tbe schooner Ciio in tow of t'-e steamer, and the schooner Shepher.les* proceeding from Fraszen's Wharl to the Government Wharf, whon Ehe was pickel up by the Wallace. Altogether the harbor haa not presented such a lively appearunce on a Sunday morning for some time past. The wharf was also crowded with sightseers, who apparently took great interest in the hoaie ship The serenity of the atmosphere was broken occasionally by one or two songs from tb.2 saUora of the Bbip. Tne snip Lutterworth was towed into harbor yesterday morninor by the eteamers Wallace and Lyttelton. She "is a wholes-ime looking iron ship, of fair lines, built at Hartlepool, County of Durham, and is now about eight years old. This is not her first voyage to Sew Zmland, es she was at Auckland la^t year, proceeding thenre to Lytteltnn, where she loaded up with New Zea'and produce for tbe Home market. The Lutterworth comes into port in good condi ■ tion considering the weather she haa had lately, which has been bo unpropitious as not even to allow the crew to give the vessel the proyetbial Sunday " dean down " beforo coming into port. Considering the weather she lias had to contend against ehe hits made a good run, sltliough a good day's work haa never bten logged, nothing but adverse winds being experienced since passing t^e meridian of the Cape of G«od Hope.
