Mr Brown,, the manager of the Anchor Foundry, started with all the necessary appliances iu the Charles Edward today, and hopes to be able to give ,<a; satisfactory account of the little steamer in a few days. The Kennedy is still at Westport, the Hokitika bar being in such a state that she has not hitherto deemed it advisable to attempt to cross it. She will leave Westport for tfrat port to-night. ' The Zealandia is not yet reported as haviug arrived at Auckland, but may be hourly expected there. The mail cannot now reach" Nelson before Sunday evening. > There is no news yet of the arrival of the, Tara^oa at the Bluff. ThePhcebe arrived at Sydney on the 6th inatarit; after a, passage of six days from this port./.; ■■ >■ .' : ■ " .•■' :-' .''■ The Prospect arrived from Croixelles 'this morning with a load of gravel. The' brig Transport commenced discharging her cargo of coal this morning. A aumber of coasters which have been detained through stress of weather will take their departure for their several destinations this evening. The Result is now ready for sea, and will probably take ther departure for Wqstport to-morrow, having taken in enough coal to* carry her to her destination from the Charles Edward. The schooner Awaroa, Captain Greagar, arrived this morning, after a veryj stormy passage across the Straits. She left Wanganui on Tuesday evening, and immediately after crossing the bar experienced a strong N.W. gale with a tremendously heavy sea, and the schooner was soon half way across the Straits, when the wind veered round to the westward, blowing " great guns," and soon raised & nasty chop of a sea. When near D'Uryille's Island the wind chopped round to W.S.W., still blowing hard, but it did not last very long, and the Awaroa came through the Pass yesterday morning,and was abreast, of the Croixelles at 11 a.m., hut remained there until 3 o'clock this morning, in consequence^ of there being little or no wind. A light' air this morning brought the schooner . into harbor Bhortly before 8 o'clock. Captain Greagar states that the present trip h the roughest one be has^ad across the Straits, aud he has crossed it a number of times. The Awaroa brings a cargo of live stock. The Union Company's s.s. Wellington, Captain Lloyd, came into harbor last evening at 9-15. . She left Fort Chalmers on Saturday afternoon, and arrived at Lyttelton on Sunday morning; sailed at 445 p.m..qnMonday, but in " consequence of meetlngSvlth a heavy gale from the N.W. she did not arrive at Wellington until late on Tuesday evening. Coaling operations kept her at the Empire City longer than was expected, and she d^d not leave until 4 a.ra. yesterday, arriving at Pictbn.a^ .8.30, sailed at, 9, and arrived off the Lighthouse about 8" p.m., but in consequence of the dirty thick weather Captain Lloyd was unable to pick up the light, as he could only catch an occasional glimpse of it. The engines had accordingly. to be stopped several times, until after the lapse of an hour she was safely into harbor. The Wellington brings the fourth batch of the Margaret Galbraith's cargo, consisting of about 70 tons. She sailed for Northern ports at II a.m. to-day. ; ■ . •; The three-masted schooner Mary Wadley arrived at Napier on the 7th instant, after a passage of sixteen days from Newcastle^ during which she met with a succession of adverse circumstances. For three days the crew had to take up their quarters in the chief cabin, the forecastle being uninhabitable, owing to her shipping heavy seas throughout the whole of that period. During that time, too, the crew subsisted on biscuit alone, as the galley fire could not be lit.
