The Wallace arrived fsom Wanganui on Saturday after a rough passage across. She had been absent from Nelson thirteen days, owing to detention in the Wanganui river. She sailed for West Coast ports at noon. The Kennedy axrived from Westport on Saturday night.

She will sail for West Coast ports on the arrival of the San Francisco mail. The Otago leaves Wellington to-day, and will sail for Sydney via West Coast ports tomorrow afternoon.* The Murray arrived at Greymouth from Westport on Saturday, and was to leave for Westport and Nelson to-day.

The schooner Uno sailed last evening for Adele Island for a cargo of stone. The schooner Maud Graham hauled up anchor yesterday afternoon and set sail for the West Coast. Should the Hokitika bar prove impracticable* on her arrival at that port, she will proceed to Greymouth and land her cargo there. The cutter Dauntless arrived yesterday from Adele Island with a cargo of stone. The ketches Standard and Mermaid, both loaded with potatoes, arrived here yesterday from Riwaka. The ship Lutterworth will probably sail for Napier this evening. The ketches Pearl and Prospect are on the hard for the purpose of being cleaned. ; The Union Company's s.s.

Experienced strong westerly winds with high confused sea on the passage dowu. She sailed Sonth at II a.m. On her next up-trip the Taranaki -.vill stop at Wellington, where she will be hove down for the purpose of receiving her compound engines, which it is expected will occupy two months, after which she will take up her old running. Her place will be taken in the meantime by the Ladybird. The following telegram was received in Wellington on Thursday from the principal lightkeeper at Manukau Heads :— " Picked up under South Head two pieces planking 9 feet long, 7 by 4 inches, being burnt nearly through; a spar, jibboom and flying jibboorii in oue, 49 feet long, heel of mast burnt within two feet of head, and other burnt timber — all American pine." As an instance of the unprccedentedly bad weather experienced this winter on tbe West Coast of the South Island, we may mention that the brigantine Prosperity, a regular trader between Melbourne and Hokitika, has been lying off the latter place for 78 days nnable to discharge her cargo; from Melbourne. — Post. Referring to the intention of Messrs M'Meckan, Blackwood, and Co. to run a line of steamers from Hobarton to New Zealand, the Hobarton Tribune says : — lt has always been a matter of surprise to many that the Tasmanian Steam Navigation Company have not looked more closely into the possibility of opening up a trade with New Zealand. Now that a powerful company have taken up the matter, it will no doubt be carried out to a success, and we shall not ocly have direct bi-monthly steam communication with the various New Zealand ports, but Aye shall also have an additional means once a .month of passenger traffic to Victoria. We •ifeel convinced that it only requires a few. -trips to show the advantages of this route, .-when a forge and paying trade will be the jresulfc.
