The Charles Edward left for West Coast ports yesterday morning, but as her arrival is not yet reported she is probably lying for shelter in Golden Bay. The Murray arrived at Westport on Saturday, having left on the previous Monday. She got as far as West Wanganui, but was compelled to pnt back to Totaranui, where she lay until Friday. She arrived at Greymouth yesterday morning, where she is detained by a fresh in the river. The Hawea leaves Wellington to-day, will arrive to-morrow, and sail for the North at 8 p.m. The Lyttelton sailed for Blenheim to-day. The Kennedy was put on the gridiron today for a general overhaul, and will sail for West Coast ports on Friday. The cutter Midge will sail for Waitapu this evening, weather permitting. The Prospect arrived from Waitapu on Saturday evening. The' schooner Awaroa arrived in harbor yesterday afternoon. She is from Wanganui, which port Captain Greagar reports leaving on Saturday morning. Thick dirty weather with heavy sea and little wind was experienced on the passage across. The Awaroa is advertised to sail again for Wanganui on Weduesday. The Albion was advertised to leave Melbourne for New Zealand to-day, and will therefore be due at Hokitika on Saturday. The Union Company's s.s. Taupo, Captain Carey, came into harbor last evening at 9*30. " She left Onehunga at 3\30 p.m. on Friday, but was unable to cross the Manukau bar in consequence of a heavy sea ou, the S.W. wind having brought in a tremendous roll, and the Taupo anchored for the night under the Heads. The sea had considerably diminished next morning, and the steamer was able to cross the bar at 8 o'clock; proceeded under easy steam to Taranaki, arriving offi there early yesterday morning; landed passengers and cargo, and sailed for Nelson at B*3o a.m , arriving here as above. Experienced fine weather as far as Taranaki, thence thick weather with heavy showers of rain, ' which continued until arrival here as above. The Taupo sailed for Picton and South at 9*45 this morning. There was a heavy swell on the baryesterday, and at high water iv the moaning the sea'could be seen breaking above the top of the Boulder Bank. There was but very little wind blowing here, so that there must have been some very dirty weather outside, the tail end of which we experienced yesterday. The captain of the Awaroa reports a very heavy sea running in the Straits, and the Taupo also met with a high sea in the same locality. In consequence of the high sea running a number of vessels that were to have sailed yesterday had to postpone their departure until the sea calmed down. The friends of the captain, officers, and crew of the barque Helen Denny will be glad to hear of her safe arrival at London. The Hinemoa took 23 hours to accomplish the- distance between Wellington arid New Plymouth last week. Captain Fairchild reports experiencing a " succession of whirlwinds and waterspouts," with a strong W. by S. wind, the waves at times threatening to top the yards. On the whole, the gallant captain says, he never experienced rougher weather. The tonnage loading on the berth afc London, March 15, for India, China, and the Cape of Good Hope, amounted to 49,545 tons, aud for Australia and New Zealand, to 72,960 tons. The Po>t says :— Captain M'Gillivray, formerly chief officer in one of the Union Company's steamers, came up from the South in charge of the s.s. Wanaka this morning. Captain Andrew, who was lately suspended, is at present acting as chief officer of the Wanaka. It is understood that Captain Andrews will in all probability be restored to the command of the s.s. Taranaki in about a month.
