The ship William Davie, from Port Chalmers to London, arrived at her destination on the 14th inst. after a fine run of 81. days. The Kennedy will leave for Wellington at 8 o'clock to-night. The Albion sailed for Melbourne via the South this morning. The Hawea leaves Onehunga to-day, will arrive to-morrowl night, and sail for . the . South on Friday. The Murray arrived from Wellington this morning, and will, sail for West Coast ports . to-morrow at 3 p.m. The schooner Richard and Mary sailed for Waitapu last eveaing for a load of timber for this port.. The Dido finished discharging cargo this morniug, and will probably sail'for Blenheim to-morrow. \ ' . The Uno is now ready for sea, having received a thorough overhaul in addition to being cleaned and painted. TheTojahakuirrived this afternoon from Picton and South, and steamed in over the tide. She left Port Chalmers on Saturday, Lyttelton on Monday, Wellington yesterday, nnd PJctbh. at eight o'clock this morning, arriving here as above. Captain Andrews was determined to catch this afternoon's tide, and advantage was taken of the wind that was blowing. to set .the topsail, which was carried down as far as the Lighthouse. Although the tide had been ebbing for half an hour the Taranaki was brought into harbor safely by Captain .Andrews, Captain Cross not being 'sufficiently strong to undertake two duties of the kind in the day. and Mr Lowe having been prostrated by a severe attack of illness "this ' morning. She sails North at eleven o'clock to-night. Thesignalfor a barque was flying this morning for about au hour, when it was hauled'down. . -Doubtless it was some vessel bound through the Straits. The Chaudierfe hauled to the inner berth at the Government Wharf this morning, where -ishe will discbarge the remainder of her cargo. f 'The cargo has been coining forward as- freely as. could be expected, there being tebme trouble in shifting it about to get.the-Nelson portion, which causes a loss of time, incidental -to a vessel having a mixed-cargo. The baVquentine Mary Wadley was towed into harbor by the Wallace this morning, the captain 1 having received orders to have the necessary repairs effected here. As they are extensive it is probable that she will have to discharge some of her cargo. The p.s. Wallace, Captain Dillon, returned to port'from West Coast at 11 a.m. to-day. She left Nelson at 11-20 a.m. on the loth inst; owing to a strong head wind arrived off Westpoi. too late for the. tide, and had to come tq an; anchor at 5-15 p.m. on the 16th, crossing the bar at 9 p.m.; left at "midnight, and arrived in the Hokitika river at 12-45 p.m. on the. 17th; left at 11*30 a.m. on the. 18th, arriving alongside the Grey wharf at 2 p.m.; left at 2-40 p.m. on the 19th, arriving at Westport afc 11 p.m.; left again at 1-20 p.m. yesterday, arriving here, after a fine weather passage^ as above. " Mr Redwood's s.s. Torea arrived at the Wairau bar on Thursday morning, having made the passage from Wellington to the Boulder Bank in five hours. The pilot boarded her at eight o'clock and brought her up to the Ferry by a quarter to' nine with an ebb tide. \ Considering that the distance is nine gfiiles| she made very good steaming. The pil&fc stales that she steers beautifully, and that tbere is not the slightest vibration •from her engines when going full-speed.— Express. The Westport Times of the 16th iustant says: — The s.s. Murray, under command of Captain ..Conway, had the good fortune at daylight ; dn. -Monday morning last to sight the barque W. C. Wentworth, south of the Bullej .entrance, and about twelve miles off land, and having previously heard from her agent, Mr Scott; that she was without anchors or chains, Captain Conway steamed after her and took -tier in tow, Mr Seo t having offered a good premium to any steamer that would safely brings her into harbor, the barque havings been knocking about for 21 days since losing her anchors, and carrying away yards and topsails in the squall which sprung up on the 23rd ultimo, at which date the Wentworth was lying at anchor in the roadstead waiting a tow in. On Monday morning as soon as the agent sighted the Wentworth in tow of the Murray, it appearing doubtful if she would' save the tide, he arranged with Captain Whitwell of the p.s. Charles Edward, then import, to get steam up to assist if there appealed |toj be any need, and this Captain Whiiweil did promptly, but the staunch Murray did her work well, under Captain Conway's vigilant command, and brought her safely into port without assistance.
