SAILED. March 13, cutter Dido, 36, Shilling, for Blenheim. — steamer Lady Barkly, 30, Walker, for Motueka and Golden Bay. — cutter Maid of Italy, 17, Clarke, for Biwaka.

The Lady Barkly sailed for Golden Bay last evening. The barque Melrose will finish ballasting this afternoon. She will be towed out tonight by the Wallace, and sail at once for Newcastle. The Taupo leaves Wellington to-day, will arrive to-morrow, and sail for the North at 7 p.m. The Murray leaves Wellington to-night, will arrive to-morrow morning,, and sail for West Coast ports on Friday. The Kennedy arrived this morning at Hokitika where she reports a heavy sea on the bar. The Ringarooma is expected to arrive from Wellington to-morrow, and will sail for Melbourne via Southern port3 the same day. The schooner Waitohai sailed for Havelock at high water this morning. The cutter Dido was towed to sea by the Lady Barkly last evening. She thrashed against the strong N.W. wind which was blowing last night, aud probably took shelter in some friendly nook. The Tararua leaves Sydney for New Zea- .. land ports to-day, and will therefore be due on the West Coast on MoDday. The Albion was advertised to leave Mel bourne for New Zealand via Hobarton to-day. She will not proceed to Sydney this trip, but will go to Melbourne via the West Coast instead. This alteration in her running has been made in consequence of Messrs M'Meckan, Blackwood & Co. having entered into a contract with the Tasmanian Government for a four-weekly service between Hobarton and New Zealand. It is reported upon good authority that as the result of Captain M'Meckan's visit to the old country two new steamers will make their appearance in Australian waters some time next year for Messrs M'Meckan, Blackwood, and Co. They will be upon the same principle as the Arawata and. Ringarooma, and are intended for the New Zealand trade. The p.s. Wallace, James Dillon commander, left Nelson at noon on Monday, and crossed the Karamea bar at 6 a.m. yesterday; discharged cargo, and sailed for Nelson at 1 1 a.m., arriving afc the outer anchorage at one o'clock this morning, and enteriug the harbor at six o'clock. Fine weather was experienced throughout. She sails for Wanganui tomorrow afc 5 p.m. The barque Mary Wadley is now out of the carpenters' hands, and the crew are busily rigging her up. and she now assumes a more ship-shape appearance. The whole of fche yards have been fixed, and this morning the foresail was bent. Ifc will be the latter end of the week before she is ready for sea. The steamer Waipara was this morning put on the cradle opposite the Anchor Foundry. The repairs that will be effected to her are not very heavy, comprising two smail patches on the bottom and a thorough overhaul of the boiler. These, it is expected, will take about three weeks to accomplish. Messrs Moutray and Crosbie of the Soho Foundry will make the necessary repairs. The barque Chaudiere, which has been waiting the last two days for hands, having obtained them, will sail for Napier this evening. Some difficulty was experienced by Captain Pitfield in getting thetn, as characteristic of the modern sailor they wanted an advance of wages before going on board. This the captain did nofc care about giving, as he was afraid that if they obtained money they would nofc be long in showing a clean pair of heels. Seeing no chance of getting the men on board by gentle persuasion, the captain was compelled to give them some slight advance. The result was that only one of the four men engaged turned up afc the hour for going on board last evening, the remaining three having gone on the "spree." The latter, however, having finished their " druuk," turned up this morning, and were taken out fco fche Chaudiere in a waterman's boat.
