The Wellington will arrive to-night from New Plymouth, and sail for the South by the same tide. The Murray arrived from Westport tbis afternoon, and will sail for Wellington at 5 p.m. to-morrow. The Wallace arrived at Opunake this morning and discharged her cargo. She will leave for Nelson to-night, arrive to-morrow, and sail for Wanganui on Saturday. The Lyttelton arrived at Blenheim last night, after a long passage, having left here on Monday. The Kennedy will sail for West Coast ports to-morrow at 4 p.m. The Hawea sailed for Northern Ports at 9 o'clock last night, and arrived at New Plymouth at 11-45 this morning. The cutter Goldseeker will sail for Haveloek tbis eveoing. The cutter Maid of Italy sailed for Riwaka last evening. She will proceed from there to Waitapu, where she will load with timber for .head quarters, that is providing the weather keeps fine. The schooner Awaroa sailed out of harbor at high water this afternoon with a light breeze from the sea. The wind did not last long, and consequently the schooner did not i make much progress. She is bound for Wanganui, and is a full vessel. Our telegrams report the loss of the ship Ocean Mail at the Chatham Islands on the 19th of March. She was an iron vessel of 1039 tons, built at Sunderland in 1869, was owned by Messrs Patton and Co., and came to New Zealand under charter to the New Zealand Shipping Company. She was commanded by Captain Watson, a brother of him who was in charge of her when she came here with immigrants in November, 1874. She left Wellington the Bame time as the Avalanche, and a close race v?as expected to take place between them. The harbor to-day was almost destitute of shipping. With the exception of the Kennedy lying at the Albion Wharf there were no vessels of any size beyond a coasting vessel in port. There was not a single vessel lying alongside the Commercial Wharf, and the Government Wharf was, as usual, bare. Two email coasters comprised the vessels at anchor in the stream. On the whole the harbor has not presented such a forlorn appearance for some time as it did to-day. We have been unable of late to ascertain the movements of the cutter Margaret Scollay, which left here some four weeks ago on an oyster cruise. When last heard of she was at the head of the Pelorus Sound dredging, but appeared to have met with little success. Probably Captain Scoones has been convinced that the much coveted luxury is not to be found in sufficient payable quantities to warrant him staying this side of the Straits, and has gone back to Dunedin. It is probable that we shall not see the Margaret Galbraith in our harbor until the latter end of next week. The work of discharging her at Lyttelton has been progressing very slowly, consequent upon having cargo for two ports, and, as is generally the case, that which has to be landed first is at the bottom of the hold, necessitating the removal of the upper portion, which, of course, means time. She was a long time before she commenced discharging, a week having elapsed before the first package was put on shore. The end of the present week will see the last of the cargo out, and the vessel will come on to this port without delay.
