The Awaroa is advertised to sail f o - Wanganui to-morrow. The Pearl arrived yesterday morning from Wa'.tapu''with~a cargo of timber. A number of small vessels which had been detained through stress of weather took their departure this morning. The* harbor yesterday presented an un- . usually - lively appearance, there being no less than eight steamers, one barque, and a topsail schooner moored at the different ■wharves. Added to this were a large number of small coasting a essels dotted here and there over the harbor, which gave an exceedingly pretty effect. Altogether the harbor has not assumed such a gay appearance as ifc did yesterday for many months. The, Union Company's s.s. Hawea, Captain Wheeler, came into harbor at 7*30 p.m. on Saturday. She left Port Chalmers on Wednesdqcyi Lytteiton on Thursday, and Wellington on Saturday morning at 2-30, arriving at Picton afc B' o'clock; .sailed for Nelson at 10-30, and arrived here as above. She landed a large cargo on Saturday evening, and sailed for Northern ports shortly after eight last njght, and arrived at Taranaki. at eleven, o'clock this morning... . T_jje- Union Company's s.s.

She sailed for Picton and South at 10 o'clock. The Union Company's s.s. Maori, Captam Bernech, came into harbor afc 7 o'clock yesterday morning. She left Port Chalmers on the '20th inst., arriving at the Bluff on the following day; sailed the same afternoon, and arrived afc Dusky Bay on the 22nd; left the same day, and after calling in afc the : aumer6us bays on the West Coast arrived off Hokitika on the morning of the 25th, but did not cross the bar, aud was tendered by the Waipara the same evening; sailed early next morning for Greymouth, arriving there at 9 a.m.; left at 10 a.m. on the 27th, and anchored off Westport afc 4 p.m. same day, crossing the liar at ' 9 p.m.; sailed for Nelson at 10-45 a.m. on Saturday, and arrived off the Lighthouse at 6 a.m. yesterday, entering the harbor as above. The Maori sailed for Lytteiton and Dunedin at 9*30 this morning. The vessel that was in sight on Saturday proved to be the barque Ansdell, Captain Barnes, 19 days out from Newcastle. The cause of her making so long a passage was, as we predicted, absence of winds, indeed, for the last eight days, Captain Barnes states that the vessel . has not averaged over 40 miles per day. The Ansdell left Newcastle afc 6 p.m. on the llth iust., with light winds irom N.E. to 5.E.,. which were experienced throughout, aud the vessel was consequently a long time getting across the Middle Ground Cape Farewell was sighted on Thursday, when heavy rain, accompauied with thunder and. lightning, set iv, but the wind having died, away the barque was uuable lo make the outer anchorage uutil Saturday evening She was towed into harbor by the Lady Barkly yesterday morning,^iud anchored in the stream. The Ansdell brings 325 tons of coal for Mr J. S. Cross jun, 25G pieces of. iron bark for Mr T. Scott, aud a quantity of bone dust and, oranges. She hauled alongside the Commercial Wharf this morning, and afc once commenced discharging cargo. The little steamer Result put in an appearance yesterday morning about ten o'clock, when she was seen making her way out from •under the land, and about 11-30 she dropped anchor outside the Boulder Bank, where she remained until flood tide, when she came into . Jharbor. Captain Riley reports leaving Westport afc §'30 a.m. on Tuesday, with wind blowing light from the north, which gradu--ally,increasecl during the day, and when the eteauier was ten miles past the Karamea,

blew so strong that the Result was unable to make any headway against it, and she was put abo ut and a course shaped for the Karamea,', crossing -the . bar in the afternoon at half .flood. Sailed on I^riday morning at 10 o'clock/rounding the Spit on Saturday morning, and dropping anchor' in Ship Cove at 8 o'clock the same evening. A start was made from there at 8 o'clock yesterday mornihg, arriving here as above. As she came puffing up ite harbor in the afternoon her speed was the subject of much talk among the experts, on the wharf, and her general appearance freely commented upon. The ' Result will shortly be placed in charge of Messrs Moutray and Crosbie, under whose hands she will "undergo a thorough overhaul, and receive new engines and boiler, which are now in : process of construction at the Soho Foundry. The o'd engines and boiler, which formerly belonged to the steamer Woodpecker, will be taken out of her, they now being completely used up, and the power of which, judging by the pace at which the vessel came up the Bay yesterday morning, may be roughly estimated at two 'possum. In order to bave the wojk done as expeditiously as possible it was intended to bring the steamer, up the creek.-, as Jar as the qilvfert opposite" the Post Office. ;•' Accordingly steam was got up this morning,.;, and- everything -went smoothly until the 1 ;.
