Our telegrams to-day mention that the Wallace is ashore on the Cobden side of the Grey river. Up to the time of our going to press she had not been got off. The Charles Edward arrived from Westport last night at 10 o'clock, after a very stormy passage. She brings a full cargo of Coal Pit Heath Company's coal. The Kennedy and Lyttelton, which sailed yesterday for Westport and Blenheim respectively, are not yet telegraphed as having arrived at their destinations. The Wellington leaves] Wellington for Picton and Nelson at midnight, will arrive to-morrow night, and sail for the North on Friday morning. In consequence of the weather the departure of the Murray for Wellington is postponed until this evening. The Lady Barkly did not sail for Golden Bay this morning as advertised, but will sail I to-morrow at 9 a.m. The barque Vindex, with 500 tons of coal consigned to Messrs N. Edwards and Co., is expected to arrive shortly from Newcastle. On account of the boisterous state of the weather last evening there were no arrivals among the coasters to-day, and there is such a heavy sea running on the bar, notwithstanding that the wind has been blowing from the S.W. all the afternoon, that none of them haye cared to risk crossing it. The N.W. wind which blew so hard last evening brought into the Bay the brig Transport 21 days from Newcastle. She was in sight early this morning, but the wind having shifted to the south-west, the brig has been the best portion of the day in making the outer anchorage. The Transport brings a cargo of coal for Mc J. S. Cros3, junior. The cargo will be highly welcome, as there has not been a ton of Newcastle coal at either of the wharves for the past fortnight, the Phoebe having taken all that was then in stock. The Union Company's s.s. Ladybird, Capt. Griffiths, came into harbor this morning at 8 o'clock. She left Onehunga at 8-30 a.m. on Monday, and reached New Plymouth at 8 a.m. yesterday; disembarked and embarked passengers, and landed cargo, sailing for Nelson at 10 a.ra., and arriving here as above. Experienced fine weather to Taranaki, thence a strong N.W. wind with heavy sea, which continued until arrival here. She sailed for Southern Ports at 10*30 a.m. All hopes of ever seeing the Bonnie Lasss again are now given up. She left Lyttelton on April 4th for Hokitika, since which time nothing has been seen or heard of her, with the exception of being sighted by the brigantine Prosperity duriDg a gale *on the 5 th. According to the Taranaki papers some portions of a wreck, picked up at the Kaikoras, are said to be those of the missing vessel, but this is hardly likely, as there was no mention made of it in the Wellington papers, and the owner of the schooner has heard nothing about it. The Bonnie Lass was laden with general produce, and in the event of her being water-logged she would at once founder. Some hope was felt that she might have taken shelter from the gale in some friendly nook along with other vessels which were missing at the time, but as these turned up one after another, all hopes of the schooner's safety were dispelled, and it was then thought that she had gone to that bourne whence no traveller returns. The Bonnie Lass was owned by Mr D. Gilbertson, of this port, and was allowed to be one of the finest vessels running on tbe New Zealand coast. She wa3 commanded by Captain Aitken, a skilful seaman, and her chief officer, who was known by the name of « Bob," served on board the Anchor Line of Steam Packets for a long time. About the rest of the crew we have been unable to ascertain their names. We regret to learn that the vessel was uninsured.
