The Kennedy arrived at Westporfc this morning. The Charles Edward leaves Greymouth to-day for Nelson via Westport, and will arrive here on Saturday. The Lyttelton is expected to arrive tonight from Greymouth. The cutter Bruiser leaves to-night with a cargo of coal for Richmond. The Awaroa came into harbor early this morning from Wanganui. The N.VV. gale which she had after crossing the bar only carried her across the Straits, when it died away> and the schooner had to make her way to port with light baffling winds. The schooner Nelson was to sail from Lyttelton for Westporfc yesterday with a cargo of produce. The sailing of the Phoobe has again been postponed in consequence of the Arawata having discharged cargo across her decks this morning, thereby preventing the Murray, from^ which vessel she was to receive the remainder of her coal, from getting alongside of her. The Murray hauled alongside the Phoebe immediately after the sailing of the Arawata, and this afternoon filled up her bunkers. The Phoebe will probably make a start this evening. The Richard and Mary was in sight at an early hour this morning, but there being little wind she was unable to make the outer anchorage in time to catch the tide, and came to anchor at 2 o'clock. She has made a long passage from Oamaru, doubtless on account of the ' bad weather which has prevailed lately. The schooner brings a cargo of breadstuffis consigned to Mr R. Levien. Th'ep.s. Wallace returned to harbor at 10-30 this morning. She left Nelson on Sunday at 2 p.m., and arrived at Wanganui at 830 a.m. on Monday; left on Tuesday at 1030 ••a.m.," crossed the bar at 11 a.m., and arrived alongside the Wellington wharf at midnight, after a very dirty weather passage. Left last night at 820, calling at Titerangu station in the Pelorus Sound, and arrived here as above. She sails for West Coast ports at 2 p.m. on Saturday. The pinion Company's s.s. Taupo, Captain Carey/came into harbor this morning at 10 o'clock. She left Onehunga at 10-30 a.m. on Tuesday, and arrived off Now Plymouth early yesterday morning; landed passengers and sailed for Nelson at 3 p.m., arriving here at an early hour this morning, and coming to an anchor. There was a heavy sea running at Taranaki, and it was with difficulty that the passengers were landed, the cargo having to be brought on to this port. Thick dirty weatoer! with rain was experienced throughout the passage. After shipping a few tons of cargo the Taupo sailed for Southern Ports at 11-30. The s.s. Murray arrived in harbor this morning at 11 o'clock from West Coast ports, bringing the outward 'Frisco mail. She left Nelson at 6 a.m. on the 22nd inst., and arrived at Westport at 6-30 a.m. on the 23rdi left again on the same tide at 8 a.m , arriving at Greymouth at 430 p.m. She ■was detained there until the 29th in consequence of the bad weather, when she left at 11-15 a.m., and arrived off Westport at 630 p.m., crossing the bar at 9 p.m.; left for Nelson yesterday at 10*40 a.m., arriving here aa above. Experienced strong N. to N.E. winds to Cape Farewell accompanied by a heavy westerly swell. The Murray leaves for Wellington on Saturday. The harbor has not presented so livelv an appearance for some time past as it did" this morning. First there was the arrival of the schooner Awaroa from Wanganui, and the Taupo from North, which was berthed alongside the Commercial Wharf. The Arawata quickly followed on her heels, and went alongside the Phoebe. The Wallace was the next to enter the harbor, with the Murray close behind her. Then there was the sailing of the Taupo and Arawata for Southern Ports. On the whole the harbor was perfectly alive for a time, and bore a striking contrast to the last few days, when it was just as bare. The landing and shippiug of the cargoes of these steamers was a harvest to the lumpers, and not one was to be seen walking about the wharves, the whole of them being engaged at one steamer or the other, Messrs M'Meckan, Blackwood, and Co.'s fine s.s. arawata, Captain Underwood, came into harbor this morning at 10 o'elock, and was berthed alongside the steamer Phoebe which was lying alougside the Government Wharf. She left Sandridge Railway Tier at 1-30 p.m. on the 2 1st inst., and passed Swau Island at 10 a.m. next day; had fresh S.W. *winds and fine weather till tue morning of the 23rd, when the wind hauled to the S.E., and freshened to a heavy gale, with high sea— this weather holding to the land, which was sighted on the morning of the 26th. During the gale the Arawata behaved admirably. At 7 a.m. she passed the Solander, and arrived at the Bluff forty minutes after soon, on Saturday; discharged 50 tons of cargo, and sailed for Port Chalmers at s p.m., arriving there at 7 a.m. on Sunday; sailed at "4-40 p.m. on Monday, and arrived at Lyttelton at 7*40 a.m. on Tuesday; left same day at 5 15 p.m., and arrived at Wellington at 7-30 a.m. yesterday; sailed at 9-30 p.m., and made the French Pas3 at 4-30 this morning. As she was too early for the tide the anchor was dropped, and a boat lowered for the purpose of fishing, and in the moonlight a basket of fl3h was caught. The anchor was hove up at daylight, and the Arawata came through the Pass, arriving here as above. Notwithstanding that her cargo had to be carried across the deck of the Phoebe, this was accomplished in good time, and the Arawata sailed for South and Melbourne, carrying (he outward Suez mail, at 11*30 a.m. We
