The Wallace left Greymouth yesterday morning, and arrived at Westport in the afternoon, but was unable to cross the bar until this morning. The Arawata will arrive to morrow morning from Wellington, with the Suez mail, eight days in advance of her date. She will sail for Melbourne via the South with the outward Suez mail by the same tide. The Kennedy has hitherto been unable to leave Hokitika, where she reports a fresh in fche river and a heavy sea on the bar. The Hawea left Wellington at 12-30 today, will arrive to-m^row morning, and sail for the North in the evening with the outward San Francisco mail. The Wanaka leaves Manukau for the South to-day. The Murray left for West Coast ports last night, hut has probably had to take shelter afc Totaranui. The cutter Midge arrived from Waitapu last evening. The Lady Barkly sailed for Motueka and Golden Bay last evening. H.M S. Sappho will take her departure for Wellington to-morrow morning at 7 o'clock. The ketch Pearl was placed on the gridicon this morning for the purpose of being cleaned. The Waipara left Greymouth yesterday morning. In the face of the northerly gale which was blowing all night, it can hardly be expected that the little steamer would be able to force a passage against it. Her arrival may, therefore, be expected some time during the night. The brig Emily, which arrived from Newcastle yesterday afternoon, is a large vessel, with a carrying capacity of over 400 tons. She has made the passage in twelve days, which/considering the winds experienced, may.be reckoned a fair run. Owing to there being a heavy swell on the bar she was unaple to enter the harbor this morning, and will probably have to remain outside until to-morrow. Afc the last half-yearly meeting of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, recently, Mr F. W. De Salis, who presided, said the directors had ordered a new ship, which had beeu named the Kaiser-i-Hinri, and was the largest ship the company had ever possessed. Their steam fleet, he remarked, constituted no inconsiderable portion of the naval reserve of the country, maintained without cost to the country, aud always azailable on emergencies at an hour's notice. The Admiralty had but to touch the wires, when from every port in the East whe/e England had an arsenal— from Malta, from Bombay, from Calcutta, from Hong Kong, from Melbourne, aud from Sydney — the company's ships at the shortest notice could issue armed, or as transports, to place themselves under the orders of her Majesty's Government. In the Crimean war, in the Indian Mutiny, and in the Abyssinian Expedition they had given efficient aid to the State, and if their services were again required they would be promptly rendered.
