The Hawca left New Plj'moutb. this morning aud will arrive to-night, sailing by tha same tide. She will carry supplementary Suez and San Francisco mails. The Wallace left Westport at midnight with the West Coast portion of the outward mail, which will be transhipped into the Hawea to-night. She will sail for Blenheim at 6 p.m. to-morrow. The Maori, which leftDunedin on the 30th August, arrived at Greymouth about a week ago, having traushipped her Hokitika cargo into the Waipara, but has not yet put in an appearance here. She is expected to-mor-row, and will sail .for Lyttelton direct shortly after arrival. The Kennedy arrived alongside the Hokitika wharf this morning, aud will leave again to-morrow at noon. She reports the channel as being risky with any sea on. This is the first time one of the Anchor Line of steamers has been able to go up the river for six weeks. The Murray arrived from Wanganui this morning after a detention there of live days. She sailed for West Coast ports this afternoon with several passengers for the Kuuiara rush. ! The, Ringarooma arrived at Melbourne one hour before the departure of the Arawata, after a long passage up of six days. She experienced a series of gales, with seas running mountains high, the whole time. j The steamer Matau leaves Wellington tonight for the West Coast with 70 passeugers for the Kumar a rush. A race, which, if not of much consequence, j caused a little excitement among the crews of the different vessels interested, took place between the ketches Pearl and Prospect Both vessels left here on Monday evening for Pern Town, the Prospect arriving there five minutes in advance of her opponent. The Pearl was to leave Eeru Town for Kelson last evening. The brigantiue Esther sailed out of harbor this morning, bound for the Pelorus Sound. The ketch Lily of the Wave, which has been absent from this port for about three weeks, put in an appearance here last night. She is from Wangamoa with a miscellaneous cargo, consisting of pigs, &c. During her absence she has, by the application of a coat of paint, been much improved in appearance, aud now is a smart looking vessel. Tlie ketch Prospect arrived this morning from Pern Town with a cargo of coal for the Corporation, after an absence from this port of only 60 hours. The cutter Maid of Italy sailed for Riwaka yesterday afternoon. Our telegrams from Waugauui to-day convey the sad intelligence of the death by drowning of Captain John Watts of the schooner Arthur Wakefield, and also of the cook, who was a foreigner. The former has sailed out of this port for a number of years principally as master of the ketch Pearl, but latterly of the Arthur Wakefield, which vessel lie has been in command of since she was built. Captain Watts was a native of Hobarlon, and, we understand, has relations at that place. He was a single man in the prime of life, aud had many acquaintances here, who will hear with regret his untimely death. A later telegram to Messrs Cross Brothers states that one of the bodies has been washed ashore, but it does not say which. The s.s. Arawata, Captain Underwood, left Melbourne at .'3 pm, on the llth instant, had fresh N r .W. winds and fine weather until she was close up lo the laud, when it came on very thick, and passed (he Solauder without sighting it, arriving at the Bluff at G.:>o a.m. on the IGI.li; shipped 58G sacks of wheat for Wellington, and left at ii.'.lQ p.m. same day; had light winds and very thick weather along the coast, and arrived oil' Otago Heads at 4.:J0 a.m. on the 1 7th; waited until the foglifted, and then ran up the harbor. Left Port Chalmers at 4 p.m. on the ISth, and armed at Lyttelton at '.) a.m on the 10th; left again at 5.30 p.m., and arrived at Wellington at 9 a.m. yesterday; left Wellington at 10 p.m.; came through the French Pass at G o'clock this morning, and arrived here at 9.30. We have to thank Mr Miller, purser, for files and report. The Arawata sailed Again for Melbourne via South at 11 o'clock ±hh morning 1 , carrying- the outward Suez mail, and, with the present iine weather, Captain Underwood expects to ha in Wellington at 7 o'clock to-night. As she does not leave Wellington before Sunday it is . difficult to account for her hurried departure,
