The Kennedy arrived at Westport to-day, and, owing to an accident to her "machinery, had to tranship her Greymouth cargo into the Charles Edward. She will return at once to Nelson. , The Murray arrived at Wellington this morning, will return to-morrow, and sail for West Csast ports on the arrival of the Hawea with the San Francisco mail. The Albion will be due at Hokitika from Melbourne this evening. The City of New York, with the San Francisco Mail arrived at Auckland at 1 p.m. to-day, but as it is high water afc Alanakau at two o'clock it would be impossible for the Hawea to leave before to-morrow. The Wallace will sail for Wanganui at 6 p.m. to-morrow. The Charles Edward will return from Westporfc to Greymoutb tl-'s evening with the Kennedy's cargo, and will not arrive here till Wednesday. The Lady Barkly will sail for Motueka. on Monday morning at 730 o'clock, leaving there on the return trip at 2 p.m. In noticing the arrival of the Lily of the Wave from Para Para yesterday we inadvertently stated that her cargo of hematite ore was for Mr Louisson. It should have read consigned to Messrs Johnston Brothers. We are glad to learn that the schooner Nelson, about whose safety fears were entertained, has arrived at Lyttelton safely, Messrs Freeman Brothers, her owners, having this morning received the followiug telegram from Captain Nelson:—" Arrived all well, after a very stormy passage." From the above vague telegram it is impossible to say where the schooner has been all this time, but it is probable that she had sought shelter in some friendly nook, and was one of the thirteen vessels sighted by the fcchooner Waitohai last week, lying at anchor under Titerangu Bank. The Nelson was from Havelock with a load of timber. The Result is now beginning to assume a more ship-shape appearance. She is undergoing extensive alterations, the whole of the engine-room having been completely gutted. In a<?ditio i the old paddle-boxes have been pulled down, and are being replaced by much larger ones, as the new engiue being much more powerful thau the old ona larger paddle wheels will be required. New sponsous of the very best timber have been fitted, and the hull of the steamer is being caulked all over. This morning the new boiler was conveyed on a cavt from the Soho Foundry to the Corporation Wharf, and by means 6i : a large pair of shea r legs was safely placed in its position. The \vorkof erecting the engine will be at once commenced, but it will be nearly a fortnight before the little steamer is once more ready for sea. The Unio i Company's s.s. Taraiaki, Capt. Griffiths, ca ne into harbor this morning at 11*15. She left Port Chalmers at 6 p.m. o•. the 15th and arrived at Akaroa at 845 a.m. on the I6th; left at 10.15 a.m., and arrived at Lyttelton at 2 p.m. same day; sailed at 3 p.m. on the 17th and arrived at Wellington at 8 a.m. on the 18th, discharged 1-20 tons and shipped 35 tons cargo, and sailed for Picton at 2*15 same day, arriving there at 7-30 p.m.; ! left at 1.30 this morning, and proceeded cider easy steam as far as the Pass, arriving here, as above. Variable weather was experienced to Wellington, thence fine weather : uutil coming through the French Pass, when it commenced to rain. The Taranaki sails ; far Northern ports to-morrow at 1 p.m.
